Starstruck page(s) of the ancient Fire-conjurors
These pages are obscenely old. The tattered leather pages seem to be made of long-forgotten aminals. The writings are nearly all worn away, and range from charcoal, blood, ink, or and engravings. The Pages compile many different rituals. The most basic of loremasters would discern that many of the descriptions within these pages detail the onerous story behind the creation of this mythical tome. It appears this ancient form of spellwork was a combination of divine magic, blood magic, and what could be the first touchings of the magic from the Weave.
The tale upon the first page tells the story of Elruk Darfollo, an old shaman of some ancient tribe which devoured the corpses of their fallen warriors as a means of honoring them. The story begins with an offering to dark forces, a brother to Elruk Darfollo, which delivers him this ancient text though left empty. Elruk seemed to offer more of his village to the Dark Force, in hopes that the tome would begin to fill itself. To his dismay the offerings did not bring anything to the pages aside from his own mad writings describing the rituals he used to murder the countless amounts of innocent villagers.

The next story is of a woman who worshiped Fire in the days before Kossuths' true name was known. It details the success and failures she made while attempting to create fire within the lungs of unfortunate experimentees. There seems to be only one success within the many many pages of attempts, and it seems the explosiveness obliterated the poor creature it was used on, the surrounding area, and herself. In fact one might assume due to the bloodiness of the final page, that last few written words were her dying act.

The very last pages legible are the writings of a cult of Cyric who spent the majority of their days attempting to infiltrate a temple dedicated to Shar. Many of the pages leading up to the final entry are of such intimate obscenity that the reader considers never opening this ancient tome again. Graphic depictions of torture are used liberaly within this portion of the text. The final entry though speaks of their failure to infiltrate the temple, and the ruthless vengeance of Shar herself upon the failed cult. The writing is branded into the page, and darkness seems to spew from the last words which translate to the common tongue as "Truth in Darkness"

//I also think it would be cool if the text could disintegrate eventually, perhaps randomly scripted after being used so many times.//
