[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 5814862, member: 11520"] The first there books all have notes tucked into them indicating that they should be delivered to one Montagnie Crowl, a professor of antiquities at Lepidstadt University. The first is [I]On Verified Madness[/I]. This jet-black book is a treatise on aberrations and other entities found on Golarion that possess remote ties to the Dark Tapestry, the name given to the dark places between the stars in the night sky. Next down in the stack is [I]Serving Your Hunger[/I]. This text is a copy of one of several unholy books sacred to the goddess Urgathoa. Lorrimor’s notations liberally sprinkle the margins. The cover is decorated with a stylized fly in the pattern of a skull. [sblock=DC10 knowledge religion check]Urgathoa(pronounced oor-gah-THO-ah)[1] is the goddess of physical excess, disease, and the undead. She is mostly worshiped by dark necromancers and the undead. Sometimes those wishing to become undead and those who live gluttonous lifestyles make supplication to her. On occasion, folk infected with plagues make offerings to Urgathoa. Among her enemies are Sarenrae and Pharasma, as well as their respective followers. Urgathoa is generally depicted as an attractive, pale-skinned, and ebony-haired woman.
