By the Book

==Objectives==
Investigate the Bloodshed Compendium further to being your trial.
* Turn the pages
* Look through the entire book
* Ask Kronah about the book
* Begin writing in the book
* Sanguine Ink (12)
* Complete the ritual
==Description==
As you open the book, you stare at a blank page, waiting for something to happen.
Instinctively you flip to the next page only to find it blank as well. Perhaps your trial awaits you further into the book?
==Rewards==
You will learn how to create: Blood Contract: Bloodshed
You will also receive:
* 
* 17,850 XP
==Progress==
I trust you to be careful inside the Bloodshed Compendium. I don't want to find any ripped pages from that weapon you wield.
==Completion==
You've done well, young one. I recall a gnome not too long ago completing that trial as well.
Her story was quite the read. But between you and me, gnomes smell like porridge.
<Kronah looks off into the distance, lost in thought for a moment.>
But you are now a bearer of the Bloodshed Contract and one step closer to your final prize.
<Kronah quirks a grin at you and goes back about her business.>
==Notes==
Kill the Sanguine Sludge to obtain Sanguine Ink.
