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.

Instantly, in answer to her plea, the great Stratos turned the needle into a magnificent sword. She said the sword fairly danced in her hand, slaying the trolls left and right until none were

left alive.

While I can find some solace in the miracle Stratos performed, I am afraid the task ahead of me is almost overwhelming. I do what I can to ease the hurts, but wounds of the mind Stratos gives no power to heal. I will stay until I have done all I can, then I will carry the sword,
