Writings - Book about Protector

Details

• Type: book
• Location:
  • Tenebrae Library
• Description: This book seems to be a letter from Veras, a Theurgist and mother of Stellos, to her husband Prevan. It tells the story of how the magnificent silver sword known as "Protector" was created from the knitting needle of a woman called Nehdra, who called upon Stratos to protect her child. In the unpatched version of the game, the sword was called "Nehdra's Needle" in the book. The last part of the book hints at the location of the sword, in the catacombs beneath the monastery on Argentrock Isle.

My dearest Prevan,         I regret to tell you that I will not be home from this visit as soon as I had thought. My healing services will be needed here for some time as a terrible thing has happened to this small village. Two nights ago, as I had just finished my evening rituals, I heard a horrible commotion

from the town square. I ran out to see what the trouble was, only to find the town overrun by trolls.         The trolls had come in search of their favorite meal, human children. From house to house they went, ripping doors off and brushing aside the men as if they were no more than flies.
