The Book of Azathoth

The Book of Azathoth, or The Black Book, as referred to by mortals and those who are not Primordials is the strongest tome in the Omniverse and contains 619,221,938 pages. This tome was created by Nyarlathotep and the Daemon Sultan and is considered the ultimate tome. The title of the book, "The Book of Azathoth," is placed deliberately on the title to kill those who read the title aloud, further demonstrating the danger of even simply possessing the tome. Although Nyarlathotep does possess the tome, he uses the Necronomicon in favor of it due to the immense power of the Black Book and due to Nyarlathotep's fear of using it.
== History ==
The tome that was created when Nyarlathotep had become the first Chosen, he created it as a book to chronicle all of his and the Daemon Sultan's magical findings. It would also serve as the method of initiation for the Elder Gods, Great Old Ones, Outer Gods, and their descendents, containing their signatures in blood. The Black Book has immense power and can only be wielded by Nyarlathotep and the Daemon Sultan. It is considered one of the sacred Lovecraftian artifacts along with the Spear of Destiny, the Yoshitsune, the Dark Cannon, and the Concept Seal.
