The Grimoire Sanguine

This heavy tome is bound in overlapping fragments of thickly wrinkled hide. The wrinkles seem to writhe across the surface in a tortuous maze, glistening a bright crimson colour like new blood. The valleys of the wrinkles are stained dark, as are most of the pages of the tome. Upon closer inspection, it appears that most of the pages are clotted together. Only a few pages toward the center of the tome and one at the end are still readable. If you wish, you may read the FIRST, SECOND, THIRD, FOURTH, or LAST of these remaining pages.
