What were you exploring, and are you still seeking it? You can work with your DM to determine the exact nature of your discoveries, and if there will be more to find in the adventures ahead.
Your studies and adventures gave you access to a unique and powerful discovery. The exact nature of this revelation depends on the nature of your investigations. It could be the reason for the fall of a great empire, or an ancient form of magic lost to time. You might have uncovered a fact that has long been forgotten, or unearthed some relic of the past that could rewrite history. It might be information that disproves what the scholars of your time believe, or poses a threat to those in power.
Work with your DM to determine the details of your discovery and its impact on the campaign.
