The Book of the Damned
I
n the earliest days of the multiverse, when reality had
settled into a stability roughly equating to its present
nature, the angelic hosts of Heaven sought to have an
accounting of the totality of knowledge of all realms, so they
might know the glories of the divine, the plights of those they
would protect, and the faces of their enemies. The angelic
warrior-scholar Tabris was tasked with
this seemingly impossible undertaking,
and a thousand legions of lesser
celestials were placed at his command.
Although untold centuries of ceaseless
toil passed in the chronicling of the
Material Plane and the planes of law,
good, and neutrality, those realms
willingly yielded their secrets to
the angelic hosts. The Fiendish
Planes, however, proved even more
hostile and secretive than expected.
When Tabris’s scholars failed
to return from their tours
of Abaddon, the Abyss, and
Hell, he sent soldiers; when
they in turn disappeared,
he sent armies;
and when they
too vanished, Tabris
journeyed forth  himself.
Unless they meet with violent
ends, angels live forever. Yet even by the counting of
immortals, Tabris was lost for ages beyond reckoning—
the assumed final casualty in a futile scholarly exercise.
His emergence from the Maelstrom proved but the first
in a series of shocks that would reverberate through
every celestial realm. A dour, pale apparition of the divine
evangelist he once was, Tabris carried the scars of one who
had faced every horror and outrage of the damned, whose
service and blood had paid for interviews with the planes’
greatest monstrosities, and who had sought the face of evil
and found it more terrible than any noble soul could have
fathomed. Just as these scars were etched into his mind and
flesh, so were page after page scourged by his pen, sacrilege
piling upon blasphemy as he completed his divine mandate
with unflinching thoroughness.
When the judges of Heaven reviewed their brother’s work,
they were appalled. Here were enumerated foes, plots, and
betrayals beyond the eyes of the Heavenly host; sins and
deeds without godly names or punishments; and fiendish
threats, promises, and prophecies cataloged with scholarly
detachment. Tabris was called to account for his work, yet
the lost hero had no interest in defending himself. He had
suffered eternities of outrages and returned with the only
possible, perfect fulfillment of his directive. For
this, he was unrepentant.
In the innumerable offenses of Tabris’s
chronicle and his own quiet audacity, the
powers of Heaven saw corruption and
mourned the loss of their former
hero. His work was to be destroyed
as the most dangerous of
heresies, and Tabris forever
barred from the realms
of the divine. Detached
as he was from all
things, Tabris accepted
his fate, walking from the
mountain of Heaven
to lose himself
amid the streets
and alleys of the
Eternal City
of Axis. Yet
his work refused
to be so easily forgotten, and
it vanished from the vault-kilns locked away
in the depths of Heaven’s Great Library.
Since then, Tabris’s chronicle has scattered, seemingly by
its own will, across the Material Plane, tainting minds and
souls with myriad copies and forgeries and forever eluding
the grasp of Heaven’s censors, who have dubbed this heresy
of ink and parchment the
Book of the Damned.

The
Book of the Damned
contains the greatest collection of
profane lore in the multiverse. This blasphemous book consists
of numerous scattered chapters divided into three volumes:
daemonic, demonic, and diabolic. These three sections are
typically discovered on their own, as complete works in their
own right. A fourth volume of unbound pages impaled on a
bloody spike of metal—a collection of apocryphal notes—exists
