It is really a book made with human skin and written in blood. It was in the fortress for safekeeping because it is actually written by Asmodeus (god of the 9 hells FR setting). It's an artifact which bestows upon the owner the ability to lead armies and boost their strength in combat (something like all minions get +2 damage when the general leading the army is in possession of the book). There is a side effect to this Artifact though, once opened/used it starts a countdown (however long you think is good, could be days, weeks or months) to a portal being opened to the 9 hells and Asmodeus' ability to come into the prime material plane with hordes of demons.That'd be a pretty nice punishment to the kingdom being overrun by a god and his hordes of demons. Perhaps the cleric's reason for headaches are that because he's good and was the one who opened/touched the artifact first his body was a battleground between his god and Asmodeus. He suffers from mighty migraines due to his god pushing Asmodeus out of his mind, but he has lingering effects of being a bit mad and will temporarily lose his sanity at times most unfortunate to the party, but always wakes up with a blacked out memory and splitting headache. The leg could be an injury from when he was blasted back against a wall after touching the book.My 2 cents,Trav</blockquote>
