She was accused by [implied corrupt] inquisitor who was jealous and lusted after her. The inquisitor then placed the jewel into this statue that is inside the chapel of the keep that Ser Yuhelmeric was to defend. Quite spiteful and cruel, an act to taunt the Ser Yuhelmeric, putting his family heirloom into the crown of a statue of the Fury.
I've also found some 1.0 video with Yuhelmeric [and some other Ishgard knights]

From Wealdtheow, Yuhelmeric de Brillelame's father:
Wealdtheow Wrote:At last, it is ours once more... My parents presented this sapphire to me on my wedding day, as my wife and I presented it to Yuhelmeric on his. One day, they would do the same for their son... But for that disgrace of an inquisitor! Suspicion of heresy, what rot! He knew what he wanted from the start.
...By the time I secured her release, they had interrogated her for days. She...she was a shadow of her former self. But the final insult─the final twisting of the knife─was when my son took command at the Dusk Vigil and found the ice rondel to be the centerpiece of the newly commissioned sculpture of the Fury. He couldn't prove it was the selfsame one which had vanished, but, oh, he knew... But no more, no more! It is back with the family, where it belongs.
Ser Yuhelmeric de Brillelame was once the proud Lord Commander of House Durendaire's Knights, though he has no blood lineage to them. He also appeared prominently in 1.0's archer questline hunting down escaped heretics (and dragons!) in the Twelveswood.

Essences and Permutations appears to be missing the fourth chapter in the Gubal Library?
Essences and Permutations Wrote:Chapter IV - Dynamic Opposites & the Bifurcation of Polarity
The six elements are manifest in all things great and small, and their polarity deriveth from the Astral heavens above and the Umbral depths below.
Also your Garlean Heirarchy is missing portions of the text:
On Garlean Hierarchy Volume 1 Wrote:The rise of the Garlean Empire in the Year 1522 of the Sixth Astral Era led to significant changes in the structure of the Garlean society. This is most evident in the adoption of titles which serve to indicate an individual's place within the social hierarchy. The following information was compiled with the aid of informants within the empire and has yet to be verified:
Royalty
Zos - The emperor
Yae - Member of the royal family in line of succession
Wir - Member of the royal family with no claim to the throne.
Military
Van - Legatus (Commands a Legion)
Tol - Tribunus laticlavius or Tribunus militum (Commands a Cohor)
Sas - Tribunus angusticlavius or Praefectus castrorum (Commands Castrums)
Rem - Primus pilus or Pilus prior (Commands a Manipulus)
Quo - Primi ordines or Centurion (Commands a Centuriae)
Pyr - Optio, Tesserarius, or Decurion (???)
Oen - Duplicarius or Legionarius (Footsoldier?)
Specialists
Nan - Chief engineer or engineer
Mal - Primus medicus or senior magitek technician
Lux - Chief medicus or magitek technician
Kir - Senior medicus or senior technician
Jen - Medicus or technician
On Garlean Hierarchy Volume 2 Wrote:Public Officials
Iyl - Dictator or Princeps senatus
Het - Consul, Praetor, Tribunus plebis, Aedilis, or Quaestor
Goe - Censor
Fae - Unknown
Eir - Unknown
Dus - Lictor
This hierarchy extends to the general populace as well, though it is far less complex. The majority of citizens bear the "Ban" title, and there is a smaller group which appears to be comprised of respected artisans who have adopted the "Cen" title.
The "Aan" title is bestowed upon the peoples of annexed territories and indicates that they lack even the most basic rights afforded to a citizen. However, many Garleans view this as an opportunity rather than a condemnation, as citizenship may be granted to those who have demonstrated exceptional skills, as well as those who have contributed twenty or more years of military service.

Not sure if this thread was for Heavensward dungeons only, but I thought I'd add Edda's notes from Tam-Tara Deepcroft HM.
Entry #1 Wrote:Scarcely a week has passed since we returned to the village, and already I cannot help thinking it was a mistake. There was a time when this place seemed just large enough. But having see the wider world, it all feels so insufferably confined that I often find myself struggling for breath. I know that it is the same for you, my love.
The only time I feel truly alive is when I am adventuring with you. We are as caged birds in this backwater. So long as we remain here, we will never spread our wings and soar. So let us take to the road and create a lifetime of wonderful memories together.
Entry #2 Wrote:I could not have hoped for a more romantic first visit to Mor Dhona. The crystals that pierce the landscape glowed in all their majesty, as if to celebrate our future together. And as we lazed by Silvertear Lake, watching the waves lapping at the shore, the sun took its leave behind the horizon, that we might enjoy a moment of intimacy.
"I want us to be together forever." You first said these words to me years ago, and you said them to me again tonight. I am so happy to be with you.
Entry #3 Wrote:You have been looking deathly pale of late. The scorching heat of Thanalan does not agree with you. You were never fond of hot climes, and it was a mistake to come here. Let us make for Coerthas, where the bracing air will put roses on your cheeks.
Entry #4 Wrote:I know, I know - It is not easy being without a body. I promise to find one for you, but you must have patience. You are my husband-to-be, and there is nothing I would not do for you, so please, have faith in me. Give me time, my love, and I shall make you whole again, as you make me.
Entry #5 Wrote:I am sorry to keep you waiting, my love, but we cannot afford to compromise--not where your new body is concerned. Ordinary adventurers die often enough, leaving their ordinary corpses, but if you are to be like Sounsyy we cannot settle for anything less than extraordinary.
But a strong body requires an equally strong soul--as I recently discovered. Now, you are probably worried that strong souls are rare, and so they are--but never fear, for we can create one ourselves! All we need is a plentiful supply of the weaker kind, and they are common indeed. Be patient just a little longer, my love, and all will be as you desire.
Entry #6 Wrote:With the nigh endless supply of bodies here, I will make you well again, my love. Then we shall be wed as man and wife, and forever be joined as the gods intended. Of course, it is only fitting that a proper ceremony be held, with guests in attendance. i will send out invitations to all our friends. They will be so happy for us, I have no doubt they will jump at the chance to part with their souls.

Known Dravanian words in bold. This text is written in Dragonspeak. Coincidentally, this is also the same text as the book for the 2nd Boss in The Great Gubal Library. Already cross-checked.
More lore on the second boss, Byblos comes from its Triple Triad Card.
Byblos Wrote:A forbidding presence that guards the door to the forbidden halls of the Great Gubal Library. Presumed to be a voidsent summoned from the dark realm by Sharlayan magi, it dutifully guards its post as if bound there by some dark covenant.
Hope this helps! ^^ Love having all this stuff in one place though for easy reference Kage! My notes and lore text screenshots are starting to get kinda jumbled. (I'm trying to think of more dungeons that have text notes?? Are there any?)
