Concerning Kobolds
A brief pamphlet on the kobold beastkin. Out of print, copies impossible to find.Fatal Fauna of Thanalan
An informative booklet of Thanalan's twelve deadliest monster species. Rendered mostly out of date by the Calamity, small numbers may still be found for sale by the Seventy-Seven Caravans.On Notorious Monsters
An informative listing of notorious monsters for all adventurers of Eorzea. Written in 1572, yet out of print by 1577 due to being a whole realm out of date, it is still possible to find among rare book dealers.On the Properties of Beastmen
A scientific study of beastmen, for which Kannadi is an uncredited co-author. She was left off the byline over a disagreement regarding the book's sale price; she wanted it cheaper.On the Ecological Impact of Natural Chemical Changes in Maiden Grass Upon Lava Toad Populations of Southern Thanalan
A dry yet interesting report on environmental adaptations in maiden grass of Forgotten Springs, and their consequences.Comparisons of Amdapori and Late-Period Sil’dihn Architecture
A detailed juxtaposition of architectural similarities between ancient Amdapor and pre-collapse Sil'dih. Commissioned by the Flames leadership to provide scientific reasons why certain former-Sil'dihn areas of Ul'dah should not be opened to the public. A sleeper hit among Ul'dah's ancient conspiracy set.Thaumaturgy: A Discipline of the Self
An article explaining the basics of thaumaturgy and its potential. Published as a cover article of the Adventurer's Guild Quarterly.21 Methods of Efficient Home Office Management
A short book for the upwardly mobile.On the Bifurcation of Snurble Tufts in Eastern Thanalan as Evidence of Natural Selection Hastened By Climate Alterations
An extremely dry scholarly essay noting a biological change in wild snurble populations.The Aquarium Fancy of Ul'dahn Elite: A History
An in-depth look at how nobles over the centuries amused themselves by keeping and breeding fish in the desert. Surprisingly her best-selling book, owing as much to the detailed color illustrations as her writing.Coin and Country: A History of Ul'dahn Gaming, Unabridged
Originally commissioned as a thin volume by the Manderville Gold Saucer to advertise itself, but which Kannadi ballooned into a lengthy treatise on how the citizenry of Ul'dah has amused itself with games for centuries.Coin and Country: How Ul'dahns Enjoy Games
The original intent of the unabridged version's commission, a short book written in a single week. A skillfully veiled advertisement describing the histories of specific games which, conveniently, developed into every feature that the Gold Saucer has to offer.On Aetheric Wavelengths of Psycho-Spiritual Attunement
A treatise on the aetheric mechanics of tempering, published in the esteemed Sharlayan periodical Aether. Cites cooperation with Alisaie Leveilleur and her Porxie familiars in clarifying principles Kannadi discovered during field work with the Immortal Flames near the Telophoroi tower in Paglth'an.Patent #1807-8055-8: Apparatus for minute study of aether
The Sharlayan patent document for Kannadi's invention, the Manascope, which bends aether to see aether in unimaginably small detail. Ordinary aetheroscopes, by contrast, bend light to see aether as a 1:1 visual overlay. Kannadi has granted exclusive manufacturing rights to the Studium of Sharlayan, securing a new revenue stream for the institution and herself.Aetheromicroscopy: The Study of the Intangible
Kannadi's realm-famous dissertation on the Manascope. The book details not only the use of the device but multiple scientific breakthroughs, such as the specific aetheric characteristics and behaviors of emotion and memory. For this achievement Kannadi was awarded recognition as an Archon.I Fall In Love Anew With Her
A book of Kannadi's once exceedingly personal poetry, published after lengthy peer pressure. Most verses, such as the one from which the title is taken, regard her wife: one Fyrilwhas "Lost Wax" Guldornwyn, Allagan linguist and software specialist with the Sons of St. Coinach.The Acts and Discoveries of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn
The book of the titular Scions' various contributions to society over many years, credited to the Scion Y'shtola Rhul. Kannadi was the book's editor, personally assisting Y'shtola with making sense of her own voluminous yet rambling notes. The last chapter summarizes the world-shaking Comprehensive Report on the Final Days, the Scions' report on only their latest deeds, which was written by Alphinaud Leveilleur, Urianger Augurelt, and G'raha Tia.
