What is The Book of Drastic Resolutions?
The Book of Drastic Resolutions is the most Infamous of Gloranthan texts on chaos. Destroyed by Arkat in the First Age, it was Rediscovered or Rewriten in the late Third Age. Its author was Excommunicated for Corruption of Chaos, for it contains extensive information on the Creatures and Cults of Terror. It is illustrated with ancient Star Maps and arcane Symbols, and Blasphemous Spells are rumoured ot be held within its Unfriendly Pages.
