The Osteal Tome
Significance
The Osteal Tome is one of twelve Amalorian tomes of black magic still remaining today. There are only 13 black magic tomes in existence (the twelve Amalorian tomes and the Abyssal Tome written by Oloroa). Of the 13, 11 remain in the Great Library of Vekirai, in the vaults of the Treasury Tower, guarded constantly.
The Osteal Tome and Sanguine Tome were stolen by the Sage Soriev Invezia on the 19th of Lizarat in 65BU. Soriev hid them under his robes as he left the city but was robbed on his way to Bairok, where he planned to use their power to overthrow the Council of Honour and take control of the city. The books were stolen by bandits and changed hands many times with sections being copied by various owners of the tomes.
The Osteal Tome contains the secrets of a number of dark magic rituals which are powered by the breaking of bones in dedication to the fallen Amalorian god Catavarius.
It is written in the ancient Amalorian language.
