Undoubtedly human flesh, yet it has not been treated, nor tanned, keeping the flesh as fresh and malleable as the day it would peeled from the victim's body. To those very rare few in the world who have some understanding of Dark Speech, a language used only by the most evil entities and deities, are able to discern from the symbols upon its front that this book hold details of dark dissident magic.

The book however cannot be opened, attempts to detect magic can only assess that adjuration magic binds the tome shut, and the means of dispel magic even cast at its highest level would be insufficient in opening the tome.

Further studies and investigation, along with the markings, dagger and tiny hole stained with a dark crimson, lead researchers to believe that the means to open the tome are by offering a drop of blood to the tome in exchange for the words written within. Thought it cannot be confirmed, and though not backed by studious or historical evidence, the score gut feeling is that offering a single drop of blood may have unforeseen consequences.

It can also be ascertained that a spellcaster may have the opportunity to attune to the item, though the means, powers and abilities granted and any side effects are completely unknown prior to doing so.
