Overview
Whispered Rumors of the Malleus Mundi
You've heard rumors that the Circle of Thorns once again have their hands on the Malleus Mundi, and are hiding it in a location most secure.
Whispered Rumor
Hushed voices speak of the Malleus Mundi and it's connection to the Circle of Thorns.
This time of year brings out a special kind of madness and it has usually been connected to the Malleus Mundi, an ancient text of unimaginable power. This year is no different.
- Investigate the rumors...
The Malleus Mundi is an ancient text, one of the oldest bound books known to still be in existence. It is a magical focal point as well as a book of some of the most powerful spells ever devised. Whispers speak of its powers being able to bind gods, destroy moons, and re-write the fabric of reality itself.
Rumors now speak of the Circle of Thorns, the magical villain organization from Primal Earth, having their hands on the book, or at least a version of the book. They have never been able to hold onto the Malleus Mundi for any length of time. Someone always tracks them down and takes it from them. Some might say that the book wants to cause strife and conflict, and it uses its own powers to make it so.
If true, the Circle of Thorns can not possibly keep the book secured. You have a chance to recover it. The Circle have once again tried to secure the book from interlopers, this time by hiding it in a dimension different than their native one: Praetoria. If the Malleus Mundi wants to it can turn any door into a portal to the Circle's lair on Praetoria, giving you access. From then on, you are on your own.
