Detho's Libram

Appearance
A thin, red volume consisting of dyed
rothe-hide stretched over wooden
boards and bound with brass hoops,
enclosing twenty-two parchment pages.
It bears no title or mark on the exterior.

History and Description
The Libram was left to the library of
Piergeiron’s Palace in Waterdeep by
Detho son of Navro, a mage who disappeared
seven winters ago and doubtless
met his doom in the vast dungeon of
Undermountain. Elminster, Laeral, and
Khelben “Blackstaff” Arunsun all
perused the book and copied the spells
they wanted from it, ere the book was
lent to the mage Peregar “the Invisible”
to aid him in his expedition into the
North. Peregar himself vanished in a
ball of blue flame north of Yartar (either
a spell of his own that went wrong, or
an attack upon him by an unseen enemy),
and his band of adventurers scattered.

The Libram was in Peregar’s
saddlebags, not on his person, when he
was destroyed, and is widely thought to
have survived and fallen into other
hands, presently unknown.

The book’s pages contain twenty-two
