Rare Knowledge / Very Hard Difficulty

The Page-Walker discovered his tome of power and Satchel of Mog in the collapsed grave of Dane Vistler. The story of its discovery and collection is known only to the spirits of his grave guardians, and recorded by Bittermaw in his own journals.

The knowledge of the tome was to be “kept from the living”; Bittermaw was not alive and managed to find a means of gaining access to it, granting the guardians a body (they became grave-wights) so that they could follow him and ensure the law of never letting the living touch it, was always obeyed.
