A Hundred-One Candles.

Originally, this short book was a police report, one compiled by an officer of the Eskanan Guard gifted with unusually sharp literary skills. Permission was later given to the officer to publish her work under a pseudonym. It is a recording of the contents of and investigative proceedings surrounding a home in the frozen-quarters of Iskivo, one suspected of housing a so-called "warlock." It begins with eyewitness reports of the strange comings and goings from that house's door at midnight, the lights inside, the terrible cries from its attic. It ends with a recounting of the building's interior following the obtainment of a raid warrant. Terrible sights were found inside. Most notably: A body surrounded by a hundred and one red candles, its pores filled completely with the gestating chrysalises of strange moths. Stocks of the book sell out immediately. +1 to Arcana checks, +2 to Arcana checks if it concerns rituals relating to the void or the entity called Pybea.
