    I just looted this off the corpse of an Elder Gazer.
    The title reads "An Ancient Tomb by XIXWWWIVIWIXWVIX, 20 pages.

    Is there a way to tell how many are out there?
    If anyone knows, please advise.
    Also, was curious what kind of price this would carry and if there would be a market for it if
    i wanted to sell.

    Thank you!

    p.s. this is not a rune book ... but an actual book

    Few of these books are turning up everywhere. Not this exact one but ones similar.

    I found a book on liches recently, diary of a vampire or something

    Someone is running around and dying to these mobs with a book on them for roleplay purposes, which is pretty cool

    I've helped people set up scenarios like this before. Takes some time and dedication. Glad to see the RP community is gearing up again.

    Someone is writing these books and then killing themselves so the monsters loot them. Interested to see where it leads

    @Shiloh @Deacon Frost Do either of you still have this book? A copy of the in-game book may be vital for continuing the quest.

    I looted a book off a Lich earlier also. And nobody was dying for it to be looted by the lich because it was a fresh spawn. I'll post it up if there's interest.

    MMmm well kinda feel this is connected...
    Someone left a book on the floor at the PS shop for new players at Ocllo(west side of town))

    I didn't have a lot of time to read it and makes sense of it
    Its only 2 pages but was a mystery to me...It did mention Lots of WW11W type talk
    It said some set of letters Meant G...
    anyway I have to log..Its locked down on the floor of the PS shop in Ocllo if anyone wants to read it...

    P.S
    Its nothing to do with PS so I am as lost as the rest of you...It was just placed on the floor of our shop

    Looks like different books are spawning on different types of monsters. I found another dispatch from an Orcish Scout in the orc cave in Ratman Valley.

    As Sherlock Holmes would say... The game's afoot...
