The War of the Beard (WAR History and Lore)  

Upon entering Lacorith, turn immediately right and locate a table just past the row of Eagle Claw ballistas. Interacting with the scroll case or A Personal Letter will grant you the tome unlock.

The War of The Beard (referred to by the Dwarfs as the War of Vengeance or Great Betrayal) was a great conflict fought from around -1997 IC to -1560 (though some battles occurred later, notably the Siege of Sith in -1502) on the Imperial Calendar between the proud High Elves and the unforgiving Dwarfs. While the war itself was orchestrated by the Witch-King Malekith, both the Asur and Dawi hold much of the blame for the tragedy. The whole affair was a great travesty and served only to weaken each race. Neither the Dwarfs nor the High Elves have ever recovered. After the war, the Asur who stayed in the Old World became the Asrai or Wood Elves.
