Tome of the Dead Volume I
** The script is archaic and well worn, a literacy of 1 is required to read this book and Arcana Knowledge of 1 to understand it. Possession of this book is frowned upon by many, even illegal in some lands.**
**Upon holding this book you feel cold as if touched by death itself. The pages contain many ritualistic drawings along with text both instructive and philosophical which tends to drone on for those who don't care
for that sort of thing.**
With Literacy 1 it can be completed in just 4 days, each additional point of literacy will decrease the time read by 1 day to a minimum of 1 day.
