Banned Books (ご禁書; Go Kinsho) are items that appear in Genso Suikoden: The Woven Web of a Century.
Description[]
Banned books refer to all books that recorded information about the Old World. In order to prevent the history of the foundation of Aionia and the true form of the Telluspharma from being known, the Holy Imperial Army collected all of the remaining books in every region. So that the general public doesn’t see these books, they are under lock and key in the House of Wisdom and Shinra Palace.
The village on Mt. Hioni was destroyed by the Aionian Army because they were rumored to hold one of these books. The Hero and his friends, along with the hero Haydrec, were able to protect the village and prove that no such book was there. At this time, the Hero remarked that he had never seen a book older than 200 years.
Later, Najin showed the Hero one of these books that had been given to him by Utze. When they met, Utze explained that the Hero should visit Mt. Hioni West to learn the truth. There, the Hero met Regius in a hidden library that was full of these banned books.
