An Unusual Tome

Speak with your demonic minion to determine the origins of the tome.

• Determine the language of the tome
• Determine the tome's purpose

The tome appears to be written in an ornate, sprawling script that seems to rise off the pages. It vaguely resembles Demonic, but the symbols are far more elaborate than any you've ever seen.

Perhaps one of your demonic companions can tell you more.

You will receive:

The codex appears to be a powerful tome written in an ancient, pre-demonic tongue. You strongly suspect this should be brought to the attention of the Warlock trainers in your capital city.

The Succubus, Felguard, Wrathguard, and Shivarra tell you the tome's language. The Voidwalker and Voidlord tell you the tome's purpose. The Observer tells you both.

• ...yeah? Sup, boss?

• Hmm... I have no idea.

• Dismiss me... I wish to return to the void.

• Words are not the way of the void. I do not know... it appears to connect two... stars together...

• You wish to speak with me...? Unusual...

• I cannot read the words... but the magic points to a world that exists no longer. It was destroyed by the Legion.

• It looks at you blankly.

• The felhunter just tilts its head and stares at you strangely.

• Hello Master... what kind of service can I provide you today...?

• What? You just want me to look at some dirty old tome? Ugh, how disappointing.
• This is the script of the Nathrezim, what you call Dreadlords. They rarely use it outside of their home.

• ...what do you want?

• Hmm... I recall seeing such script on the Nathrezim homeworld. I cannot read it and I doubt any of your kind could either.

• Ah, Master, how might I be of assistance?

• Of course! This codex is written in the ancient Nathrezim tongue. Nathrezim, or the Dreadlords, as you call them, were once an enlightened and powerful race. Their skill in summoning and gateway magics was unsurpassed by any in the Great Dark Beyond.
• This particular tome contains instructions to open a gateway to another world. Sadly, I fear that world no longer exists. It was destroyed as a show of power during the enslavement of Xoroth.
• The tome is useless, I'm afraid. No warlock could open such a gateway alone.

• It is the way of the Observer to bear witness to all things that come to pass. So many delicious magics have I tasted at your side, master.

• What do YOU want, you miserable excuse for a ?

• No. I won't help your kind read an ancient Nathrezim text. Now, release me!!
