Artifact:The Books of Evil

The Books of Evil
Last Known Owners: Various These books were written by Zhanos. The three volumes were an interconnected series that explained the source of evil. One such volume is rumored to be in the possession of the Knights of the Dark Rose, but if this rumor is indeed true the location is not known even by most of the guild's members. Another rumor holds that a dark mage had one copy, a gift from Osnodon, that was stolen from his grave. Still another rumor says that Obsidian holds one of the Books, the conquest of a battle. The God Dagorii, an honest if evil Deity, claimed to have maintained possession of The Book of Power since the beginning. Where it is now only his followers could (possibly) know.




 * The Three Books of Evil
 * "As Zhanos grew mightier among his Gods, he wrote three books. Of these three books, was explained the source of evil and how people could master it. These three books were evil themselves, every creature that even came near those books was able to feel their cold, aggressive, and evil nature. These books were written by Zhanos in order to lead many good men, and other folk into either doom or the grasp of the Dark Lord.


 * It is said that in the First War these books were lost, but a strange inscription written by a traveling scholar was donated to the library in Pendulis in the recent era that claims the books were purposely dispersed. Some things even I cannot see.


 * Among these books was the Book of Power, the most important book, and the one that gave Zhanos the most trouble in writing. This book was essential in order to be able to read/use/understand the other two volumes, and still powerful on its own. This was given to Dagorii, that he might lead mortals to struggle for power; the ultimate corruptor.


 * Among these books was the Book of Wrath, this book was destined to be used for the total unleashment of emotions like anger, agression, and other evil thoughts, and would condemn a man to the same level as Zhanos, to be his eternal servant in evil.


 * The Book of Destruction was a work, written by Zhanos solely for the purpose to do as much damage as possible; to annihilate, if possible, everything Karn has wrought."
