Kirkbook, The

A masterwork of Artificer talent, The Kirkbook is a roughly cubic device constructed of brass. Five of the six sides are covered in intricate scroll-work that from certain angles appear to be runic. The sixth side is plain, covered in small scratches and has a rough area that is beginning to show the telltale greening of corrosion. The book balances easily in the palm of one hand and while it is easily held out before an observer there is a weight to the small box that goes beyond the physical.

The consensus among historians is that The Kirkbook was the creation of the Eleven mage Carric Ilphelkirk though there is a small group that contends The Kirkbook is actually of extra planar origin and Ilphelkirk merely brought it forth and used it in the Prime Material. After the collapse of Mora Regent's empire and the subsequent trial and execution of Ilphelkirk by The Guardians the book was believed lost to history; likely looted and melted down as a common trinket.
