The author did not sign his name, but it seems to be written in a classical style. The book is a poem about a traveler walking alone through the woods when he encounters a hunter setting up camp for the night. The two agree to share camp, and they each tell one another a story. The hunter’s story is a short and lewd comedy. The traveler’s is a longer and more detailed tragedy about a man who is faith is tested by a god.“Null Index”, anonymous, worth 375 GPThis strange journal is full of disjointed logic written in sloppy hand-writing. The author frequently invents words and several pages are filled with doodles of what might be tentacles. If someone were to spend time and effort studying it carefully they may realize that the book is actually a list of beings from another plane of existence. The long and confusing sentences are the best possible descriptions of creatures that cannot be described in a way that most people could understand. One such description spans nine pages and begins; “The warbled wheel which demands the back of your mind pay tribute to your front while a bird watches with perverse delight…”“How to Make Slaves & Enthrall Enemies”, Ryhird, 450 GPThis tome details non-magical ways to use rudimentary techniques of manipulation. It has never provided advice which has helped anyone do anything that the book claims it can. It does, however, effectively sell the idea that people are machines who follow predictable patterns and stereotypes, and encourages the reader to treat people like cattle. Reading this book can only be detrimental.</blockquote>
