A blasphemous book penned by Renthon Vorishtok in 705 BC, banned by the Church of Ezra and the Church of the Lawgiver, often burned by the Tepestani Inquisition.[1] Bound in red leather, with a black crown marking on the cover, the book has a curious property that the illustrations turn darker as the reader progresses through it, starting with angels and cheerful fairies and gradually changing into fiends and cruel fey. Looking backwards in the book shows only the current level of illustration from the last page read. Only closing the book and setting it down will "reset" the early pages to their cheerful appearance.
The book details the author's meeting with a mysterious entity known only as the Prince of Twilight, and the Prince's revelation that humans were meant to have two souls, a mortal one and an immortal one, bound together, but "dark and jealous powers" sundered the souls and banished the immortal halves into a "misty void". It seems likely that this is a veiled reference to The Dark Powers and The Mists. It then includes rituals to return these spirits and bind them to their lost mortal.
(In reality, the spells allow a fiend, dark fey, or other spirit to corrupt and possess the subject).
