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.

now called 'Protector' to Argentrock Isle. There I will prepare a small shrine for it in the catacombs beneath the monastery.         I do miss you, my love, and ask that you watch over our dear little Stellos until I can return. It is sad his mother must be away from him so soon after his birth,

but I must serve where I am needed. I am sure you understand. All my love, Veras
