As you open the book, you stare at a blank page, waiting for something to happen.

Instinctively you flip to the next page only to find it blank as well. Perhaps your trial awaits you further into the book?

You will learn how to create: Blood Contract: Bloodshed

You will also receive:

I trust you to be careful inside the Bloodshed Compendium. I don't want to find any ripped pages from that weapon you wield.

You've done well, young one. I recall a gnome not too long ago completing that trial as well.

Her story was quite the read. But between you and me, gnomes smell like porridge.

<Kronah looks off into the distance, lost in thought for a moment.>

But you are now a bearer of the Bloodshed Contract and one step closer to your final prize.

<Kronah quirks a grin at you and goes back about her business.>
