Curse of Strahd 5e
Tome of Strahd
This book is bound in a thick leather cover with steel bindings and fastenings. The pages are parchment, and are very brittle. Most of the book is written in a curious shorthand that you've never seen before, and probably won't ever see again
Stains and age have made most of this work illegible, but several paragraphs remain intact and readible.
