Eldritch Codicium: Read. Remember. Banish. Or Be Consumed.
About this ebook
Discovered among the ravings of a forgotten madman, this cursed tome claims to be the definitive repository of forbidden knowledge on ancient, unspeakable horrors. But with every page you turn, the cost grows. Each time you open the Codicium to a random page, an Eldritch entity becomes aware of your presence—and begins to hunt you.
To survive, you must uncover the creature’s true name, piece by piece, and discover its word of banishment. But be warned:
You may only read 20 pages per day. Any more, and madness will consume your mind entirely.
Within its 225 pages lie:
📍 Arcane Geography — hidden locations of power tied to cosmic horrors
🕵️♂️ Field Reports — firsthand accounts from agents, doctors, and truth-seekers
📜 Mad Ravings — the disturbed thoughts of those touched by the unknown
🧪 The Alchemical Codex — forbidden recipes using parts of creatures for rituals and spells
At the end, a final warning: the true names of these entities are encoded with a simple cipher. You may attempt to decipher them to confirm your success…
But choose wrong—or utter the name unprepared—and your soul is lost.
🕯️ Will you play its game? Or will the book play you?
Dare to open the Eldritch Codicium—and risk everything.
