The book of truth - Fragment

Story Teaser, still under construction
In the ancient city of Harran, part of an once-mighty empire long lost to the desert sands, there lay a book unlike any other.

  Legend had it that this tome was written by the gods themselves and contained the all the truths of whoever dared to read its pages. It was said to reveal both the reader's greatest strengths and their darkest secrets, a blessing and a curse in equal measure. Its leather bindings were cracked and weathered, its pages yellowed and brittle, but its secrets remained hidden within, guarded by the dust of ages.It's ancient writing was in a language that was unknown to all but the wisest scholars, but the words themselves were said to glow with a strange, eerie light when the book was opened.

  The book was kept in a secret library beneath the Summoner's Guild, a labyrinthine chamber of dusty scrolls and ancient tomes. Only the wise and ancient guild master himself was allowed to read it, and he did so only when necessary, for the truth it contained was often too much to bear for the minds of men.

 
  This is the story of Salim, a proud son of Harran and his search for the book...
