The Crowning of Marikoth: The Flame King

## Tel'Rhîen mi Marikoth: Tel’Naûr Anar (The Crowning of Marikoth: The Flame King)

This old, dusty, tome is easily the biggest book you’ve ever seen. The pages are brittle and some of the ink is fading, making it difficult to read. Even worse, it appears that at one point all pages were removed, and then rebound back together, causing many of the chapters to be out of order. Luckily the author appears to have written the date he wrote each entry. The pages are barely held together.
