This thoroughly evil book contains the spirit of the sacrificed dwarven master smith Telkar. Anyone reading and studying this tome for 1 month gains his smithing knowledge as long as the book is within 100 ft. Only a single creature can master the book at a time. The production of this work started the 4th Averine war between the elves and the dwarves, resulting in the fall of Orgol and house Inglorion. The Dwarven Smith, however, was not recovered and vanished into legend.
