Happy hunting!
Luckily, the collectibles in this game are all highlighted on your map as soon as your activate the nearby Forge Towers. You'll know if you've activated the forge tower if the tower icon on the map is bright blue, you can fast travel to it, and the area around it on the map isn't shrouded in darkness.
Remember, there are two maps and you can't go to the second one until a little while into the story, so you can't get them all right from the beginning. You'll unlock the second map about a third of the way through the story, where you'll find the rest of the collectibles.
P.S. Some of the collectibles are in caves at the very edges of the map, so if you can't find one on the map, look around the borders to see if it's there.

You can easily locate every Ithildin by reforging all of the Forge Towers, which will reveal the location of every Ithildin in the game. When you want to find a specific Ithildin, open the map and press on top of it to create a waypoint. The waypoint will lead you directly to it with minimal effort.
There are a total of 32 Ithildin in the game that are evenly divided up between the two main maps—Udun and Nurn—at 16 a piece. If you collect all of the Ithildin in Udun you can unlock Crowned with Living Light before reaching the second half of the game. Once you beat “The Messenger” you can continue collecting the final 16 symbols needed for this trophy.
The moment you collect the final symbol the completed mosaic will open and the trophy will appear:
In total, there are only thirty-two Ithildin scripts that you must collect over the course of your playthough. In order to track down these collectibles, make sure you unlock a Forge Tower for a specific region, as doing so will uncover all the collectibles for that region.

With that said, make sure to tap in order to uncover the script and listen to its text. This achievement will unlock once all thirty-two Ithildin scripts have been collected.
