Book of Eight Lands
An aged book lies in the vaults of King Steppengard's Castle in Bresk; it magically tracks the complete genealogy of the king of Dassen and the lords of the eight lands of Dassen. This book, a minor artefact, displays the name of the king and each of the lords of the eight lands, and provides a boon to each of those people, as well as their spouses and their children with those spouses. As long as they are touching soil from Dassen, each such affected noble is protected as if by mind blank, rendering them immune to all attempts to detect, influence, or read their emotions or thoughts. The beneficiaries of the book’s boon can choose to lower it willingly. This effect’s caster level is 15th.
According to the book, there is no line of succession after Steppengard. New names may be recorded in the book manually, but this requires the approval of all of the current lords of the eight lands.
There is no market value for the book or the boon it bestows.
