HoH Question - Manual of the Order of the Palatine Eye

[Puddingsnack]

So, the group that I am running is about to finish the first book (they have finished with Harrowstone and were headed back to town when we last left off).
I've been playing Kendra as largely aloof to what her father was up to. The group that I'm running pretty much looked at the Manual, saw that it was locked, then never tried again to do anything with it. At this point in the adventure, how much did your group know about the Order? Is it important? Did I mess up and have a lot of ground to cover now?

My PC's didn't touch the book either and just simply delivered it only knowing that it goes to a judge in Lepidstadt and that it has to do with the Order of the Palatine Eye. This didn't hurt them as they learned more about the order in Lepidstadt and again in Caliphas.

Its ok not to look... it won't affect the players either way unless the obviously damage the lock and don't have a convincing story for the damaged lock when they return it, and even then the effect is 'debatable' if they obviously read it and sprout it all out.
