The Black Sacraments

"In the shadows between worlds are whispers that speak of the coming silence. The silence that screams with the fury only nothingness can."

Origin
The Black Sacraments was a tome of the Old Faith written by a mysterious figure known only as The Ragged Prophet. An ancient book, it has seen the rise and fall of empires while kept safe deep within a temple lost unto time. Within it are secrets untold but written in a language only those chosen by the gods can read. Those untouched who dare look into its depths find themselves blinded by a fire that eats them from the inside. No one knows if the books is alive and no one knows whether the prophecies are written there already or whether an infernal sentience predicts them as needed. All that is needed to be known is that it is a tool of great power and fear. A tool that may not wish to be.

Effect
The Black Sacraments allows the user to stare into its depths and to discern a truth about a vital topic. The book also seems capable of answering questions of all nature whether they be past, present or future. It is even rumored that the book will sometimes provide the oracle with a prophecy without asking, strengthening the claim that maybe it is not so dead as it seems.

One dark legend also speaks of a name that it holds deep within its diabolical pages. A name of a Daemon long bound in the space between the Empyrean and reality. One that hungers and waits for its freedom with the power of a god suffusing its veins.

Current Location
The Black Sacraments is currently in the hands of The Beggar. A crazed individual who genuinely believes to be blessed by the gods. Whether he is or not is to be decided but his possession of the tome indicates a strong favor.
