Zikran's Zephyrean Tome was donated to Candlekeep by adventurers seeking refuge from a storm that seemed to follow them wherever they went. The book has been moving through the archives ever since, as Avowed who were unable to open it take guesses at its contents. After a time, they stopped trying. Until you come along. Join us on this campaign one shot! Email for info.
