The Book Of Baahl

This ancient grimoire was created in 
the First Age. It is said that its velum 
pages are made from the skins of 
elves, its leather cover from the 
screaming faces of dwarves, and that 
Baahl himself penned the pages in ink 
made from the blood of Men.  
Baahlspawn are unpredictable and 
nearly impossible to control in any 
significant number. However, the one 

Legendary Items 
who studies this tomb and learns its 
secrets can use this powerful artifact 
to amass and control whole armies of 
Baahlspawn.  
Study of the Book takes one full 
uninterrupted week, after which the 
reader will be completely lost to 
Shadow (see alignment).  
The Book binds the wielder's soul to 
Baahl, and only the most powerful 
priestly magic can sunder the link. 
Once so bound, the wielder of the 
book gains the following abilities. 
Control Baahlspawn. All Baahlspawn 
within Far will be under the wielder's 
complete command and control, even 
to the point of performing self-
destructive acts, if the wielder 
commands it. Once controlled in this 
way, the affected Baahlspawn will 
continue to follow the last command 
they were given by the wielder, even if 
the wielder is no longer in range, but 
will otherwise act normally.  
Summon Baahlspawn. The wielder of 
the Book has the ability once per day 
to call up to 15 LV of Baahlspawn. 
These creatures must be within 24 
hours travel distance and will 
immediately drop everything and 
move to answer the Book’s call. They 
will use their own means (walking, 
running, riding, etc.) to get to their 
new master.
