Dugal Darkwalker was a famous dwarf of several centuries ago. He kept a detailed diary of his explorations and adventures which he eventually compiled in his old age into this work. It contains general information on the creatures of the underearth, harmless as well as dangerous. Darkwalker was an astute observer, but his work is from a definite dwarven perspective which perhaps clouds some of his conclusions concerning the various humanoid races of the underearth.

Reading and digesting this work takes a full month, but afterwards the reader is considered to possess a charisma 1 point higher than his real charisma when first interacting with a member of any of the intelligent species discussed within the work. This bonus is only for the first encounter, subsequent encounters are as normal.
