The Discovery of the Black Book of Betrayed Heroes

Discovered by Arieal Stien Adventure or Fronen.

June 14 2007,

Arieal received the Items she need for the Sage to create a Unique Item. She was just about to give up when she noticed him in a small alleyway heading to the back door of some rundown building. She caught up to him and asked him to allow her to visit him in his work shop.

“What may I do for you young lady?” Said the old man as he look down to the ground and seem to not make eye contact.

Arieal pulled out the small bottle of black oil and a piece of Amber she handed then to the old man who then quickly turned and headed down a flight of stairs towards a dark hallway. Half way down with looking back he said.

“Well if your coming with me you need to follow me down to my workshop! I swear kids these day. “ The later part she barley heard as he tried to mumble it incoherently.

They enter the room and inside it was full of strange items some of which Arieal her self have never heard of on a huge table in the middle of the room was a large book seems to be made of dragon scales for a cover. She walk over and look at it closer to find that it was made of dragon scales but it was not filled with pages of paper but of something much thicker and also more fragile looking. She had never seen anything like it before the place was filled with bottles of potions and books and bones of all kinds of creatures and even humans.

The old man ignored her as he took to two items over to a different table one that was covered in many items and laid the bottle and piece of amber on a small altar then there was a loud bang and a lot of smoke. Arieal turned to see what was happening and the old man shouted.

“Eureka! The Gods they smile upon you this evening they have given me the ability to create this amazing book from your Items you should be grateful that you found me this book is the Black Book of Betrayed Heroes. In this book you will see all of the heroes of the Island and how they have been betrayed by many different people and even their gods.

It will be a prized gift for one of the hero in the land indeed it will bring them knowledge of how to beware of the enemies with in their ranks.

I am sorry it seems to be in fair condition if you happen to have some crystal fragments on you I can try and repair it to better condition if you like.”

He handed the book over to Arieal and she nodded to him. Taking the book cautiously she placed it carefully in her pouch on her back and then turned back to the old man.

“I do not have the items you need I will have to return one day and have it repaired then once I find the shards.”

The old man raised his finger and said. “It is not crystal shards but fragments there is a huge difference. Have a good evening and I will look forward to your return.”

Arieal nodded again and then left the small room and headed back out to the village she had to let her friends know of her discovery.

Name..................................................Type........Condition........Prestige Black Book of Betrayed Heroes..........Book............76 %...........+ 1

The book is made of a strange material unlike any that Arieal or anyone has ever seen before. It's Gold and Black marbleized cover is hard as any steel but still has a look of fragile to it. It was once the Book of heroes from all of the lands created by a great hero known as Jothan Goodheart. A was powerful man and king of a long forgotten realm.

He was so loved by his people that they created many statues of his like all over the realm. Then one day he decided to make of book of all the men that bravely fought for him or against him. It was to be a tribute to his friends and his his enemies as well. For all men that fight bravely for their country with honor deserves to be recognized.

After the completion of this book many people sought it out it was a great work and many thought it too be one of his greatest accomplishments. because of the book many of the men in it met once a year to speak with each other and have drink and enjoy the tests of their skills in a tournament.

For many years it was the event of the island and many came to watch as their favorite hero fought and jousted in the tournament. When they met at the tournament they were required to sign the book each year a new section was added to the book that included all of the lands Heroes.

It was at one of these tournaments that the grandson of Jothan Goodheart tried to join the event and was turned down because he was not a warrior but a noble of government and therefore not accepted. (Bureaucrat in it truest since of the word.)

It was his anger in this that created the betrayal. He devised a plan that would rid the world of the men they called heroes. On the evening before the tournament he cast a spell upon the book that all whom sign it will be stricken with a strange and quick death by the next sunset.

And so on the day of the signing the men gathered in the realm of Jothan' people and signed the book there was to be a grand tournament this year as there were a great many men showed up for the Tournament. That day they all meet and feasted and drank and danced and some practiced for the next days events but upon the morning of the next day they were all found to be dead in their beds.

This is what caused the war that destroyed the realm of Jothan' people and in the process his Grandson was killed in the war and never reversed the spell it.

Requirements for making

You have encountered a sage, a wise man, rumored by many to have magical powers. He and his kind are the only people capable of repairing unique items. He also offers you to make an item for you, a very rare opportunity indeed. He will need special ingredients for this, and he can only help you if you bring these:

  • Bottle of Black Oil
  • Piece of Amber

You do not have all of these, so he shakes his head and tells you there is nothing he can do. Maybe if you could acquire them, within the hour?
