Ain Soph Aur

Ain Soph Aur is a book and quest item and provides information on the Mage's tower in the Swamp. It is requested, along with The Secret Gates, by Kalkstein as part of A Mysterious Tower as the two books hopefully contain some information on how to open the tower.
This is a quest item, and as such it can not be sold.

:Ain Soph Aur
:"Ten worldly elements, ten corner stones. All emerged from these ten. Seeker, lift your eyes, search your past and you shall find.
:He who knows your course holds Wisdom and will share it when asked.
:Another has gained uncountable riches, yet has Compassion in his heart.
:Your heart, in turn, does not harbor Love, but it is with one who knows mercy, one able to love.
:Once blind, now plunge into your mind, your memory. Dark and dangerous is the path from enslavement to the promised Kingdom.
:A goddess thrice over — Virgin, Mother, Old Woman. Three faces, three graces: Understanding, Power, Glory. Achievable through sacrifice and prayer.
:The Foundation lies in the deep. Be not tempted by the errant fires. Defeat death and you will be rewarded.
:Victory is gained only by fighting its sentry.
:He who leads through labyrinthine mysteries will offer you the Crown of consciousness.
:At your path's end, Awareness will be yours, you will comprehend. What is locked will open before you.
:The ten names are: Wisdom — Chocc'mah, Understanding — Veen'ah, Love — Kezath, Compassion — Tipperath, Power — Ghe'vrath, Victory — Neh'tza, Glory — 'Oth, Foundation — Y'esath, Kingdom — Maal'kad, Crown — Keth'aar."

* Ain Soph Aur is understood as infinite divinity. "Ein Sof" is the divine origin of all created existence: this is in contrast to the "Ein" (or Ayn), which is infinite. The ten Sephirot are aspects of the divine.
