HANDOUT — Pnakotic Manuscripts (excerpt)
[Written in Aklo; stained parchment with insectile metal clasps]
"...forcing open such portals draws forth the spiritual essence of the casters,
and any entity contacted may consume that essence, growing more powerful—such that
only the end of such essence can challenge the intruder's rights upon your world."
Annotated margin (Keeper Crove's hand): "If WE are slain first, the spawn starves."
Keeper signatures inside cover:
