  If you scale the cliffs on the coast near Os Kervo, you may find a cave said to once be the lair of a dragon. Though the dragon’s existence is debatable, the damp is not. Steal or deface this book and you will spend a perpetually moist eternity shivering in that cave, eating toadstools, and praying for a bit of dragonfire to warm you.
