Vez'Harrah Tome

## A Heavy Tome

A heavy, ancient tome filled with archaic writing.

Intense study reveals it to be a Progenitor book written far before the Age of Elves.

The book refers to the four main kingdoms of the Vez'Harrah, the name the Progenitors once used for themselves, and a single location referred to as "The Kiln." The book refers these kingdoms in the order of Alaam, The City of Earth, Tortenna, The City of Water, Yosuva, The City of Air, and finally, Obliterus, The City of Fire.

The book also refers to the Solarium, a celestial plane of existence formed of pure glass. Beings of pure positive energy live and thrive among this plane. A group referred to as 'The Divine Crown' follows the teaching of the Deva of this location.

Another plane is referred to as the Eternal Void, a plane of existence formed of endless space. Aberrations of negative energy call this place home. The description of the plane describes it as an endless black ocean filled with unreachable, twinkling stars and nebula that are always out of reach.

The book refers to the followers of the Eternal Void as 'The Black Sun."

Neither the Black Sun or the Divine Crown are mentioned as being either Good or Evil, but rather simply as those who protect the plane itself, similar to that of any Cleric or Paladin.

The book then goes into the history of these factions:
During an unknown point of time, the Black Sun attempted to permanently pull their most infamous deity into the material plane, a deity simply referred to as "The Void God."
The Divine Crown, seeing the danger in doing so, attempted to stop this by forging weapons of masterful design, powered by intense magic from their greatest blacksmith, a Vez'Harrah named Nostrom.
Nearing the end of a costly war for both sides, the Black Sun gained the advantage they needed, beginning the ritual to summon the "Void God," the location being the same place where the weapons used to fight them were forged, "The Kiln." A mage originating from neither side stepped forth wielding all of Nostrom's Magnum Opus, the 5 divine weapons, to oppose the summon just in time to seal away the remaining essence of the 'Void God,' destroying the remaining Black Sun at the cost of his own life and many others.

These magic items are referred to as "The Orb of The Watcher," "The Knife of the Unchained," "The Staff of the Oracle," "The Crown of the Fell-Dragon," and finally, "The Plate of the Burned One."

The book has inked drawings of each of the magic items listed.
*The Orb being the most noticeable, as it appears to be the exact object that had been found in the Manor by Cloud and Hudai before it vanished in the basement, replaced with a visage of an enormous and powerful worm-like creature, later referred to as the possible Zenituul.*

The book then goes into how each of these items houses the soul essence of the 'Void God,' forcing the inability to fully summon the being into the material plane for as long as they are not returned to the Eternal Void. To allow for a far superior security measure, as well as to quell political dispute, each of the kingdoms were given one of the magic items, aside from The Orb, which had been given to a Vez'Harrah named "Vezeral, The Nomad," who was then told to wander the ends of the material plane to hide the final item needed for the summoning process.

The book goes into detail of each kingdom's purpose:
Earth - Mining
Water - Food
Air - Research
Fire - Production

There is then mention of the transportation system used to link the kingdoms: A teleportation system designed for accessing each of the cities through tediously drawn arcane sigils, which can either be carved for permanent locations or simply drawn out with chalk for temporary locations. In the pages of this section is a carefully inked example of a sigil used to teleport to the City of Earth, going into incredible detail of the correct way to use the portal correctly.

The book finally goes into beautifully inked portraits along the pages of each of the final section:

A kingdom with a flourishing farming community and an enormous bridge which leads into walls that rise dozens of stories into the glowing sky. The calm waters around the dock slowly rise and fall against the walls and ground.

A kingdom on an island surrounded by ocean. Various houses dot the island where, at the center, sits a large keep with four towers that rise alongside it. An enormous dockyard spreads from all directions with ships of all sizes leaving and coming into port.

A kingdom of floating islands among the clouds. Smaller islands connect to each other via bridges. The largest of the islands holds a large keep which rises further into bright clouds. Various flying creatures can be seen flying in the distance.

A kingdom covered in snow. A fortress in the distance billows thick, black smoke into the sky up through the heavy snowfall. Pine trees dot the landscape.
