Black Compendium

The Black Compendium

The Black Compendium is part of the Triad of Evil Quest

The Black Compendium is a real tome in UO canon, co-authored by Mondain, Minax, and Exodus. It contains detailed instructions on how to extend one's life through dark ritual magic. The library's archivist — a man named Valdris Aethon — was the only one with the vault's key. He sealed himself inside for three days to study the Gem fragment. He emerged changed. Forty years later, the library collapsed into the earth, and Valdris was presumed dead.

He was not dead. He had simply stopped being human.
