Never before seen outside of Halruaa, Jhanifer's Libram was reportedly gifted to Halruaan royal vaults by the archmage Jhanifer, who traveled with Aghairon Whitecloak to Halruaa. The tome was given as a reward to some of the Blackstaff's apprentices, after their diligent efforts to rescue Halruaan citizenry from slavers.

The Libram is covered in a strange pebbly hide speckled tan and black and silver. There is no title on the cover, and its hinges and edgings are a fine gleaming silver - blueshine-treated steel, as it turns out. It has no lock or other mechanism, and can be opened quite easily. It is made with a fine, thin parchment, in Jhanifer's delicate hand.

Contents

The Libram is divided into four sections, referred to as canticles, with an introduction.

Introduction

In the introduction, Jhanifer discusses her upbringing in a small commune dedicated to the Elemental Cults, growing up revering the Elemental Gods: Akadia, Ishtishia, Grumbar, and Kossuth. She mentions the lore that was passed on to her by the folk of her upbringing, and her community - which was called Foundation - fears of outsiders, who frequently accused them of sinister motives for their spurning of the outerplanar gods (instead of the elemental ones).

A Canticle of Flame

Dedicated to the elemental lore of fire Kossuth, Jhanifer discusses fire magics of myriad sorts.
