Black Book

From BattleMaster Wiki

The Black Book was first discovered by the hapless adventurer Diarmid (who claimed--without proof, of course--to be the bastard son of a distant cousin of the Aoidh family), while exploring the sea caves on the coast Az Zarqua. There he fought a viscious two-headed salt-water troll, which presumably had found the book in a sea-chest which had drifted near its home, no doubt from some shipwrek.
