The Thirteen Portals to Dark Salvation
by the Stalker
This is said to be yet another dark, corrupting work of Mystara's history.
Rumors claim that the person who solves the riddles within this book will eventually be able to open a portal to one of the darker planes, step through, and be accepted as a ruler of demonic hordes. Whether this is true or not remains to be seen, though, because nobody has ever begun solving the riddles and remained sane (or alive!) long enough to open the last portal... or, at least, so it is said! Who wrote this book is not known exactly, but persistent rumors claim that it might have been Tranthalatl, an ancient priest of the Azcans, who was seduced by the power of the "Outer Beings"... Then again, those who believe that also maintain that the various books are really a key to unlock the Immortal prisons of the Outer Beings and set them free, or, perhaps, to allow a mortal to join them in their prison. Apparently only a relatively few copies of this book is said to exist. Most scholars seem to agree that five such tomes exist or have existed, but nobody knows for sure. These rumors are all speculation, though, and perhaps this tome does not even exist at all...
