The Völva's Shelf

An unusually deep library of planar cosmology. The Völva inherited it from her great-grandmother, who walked the branches of Yggdrasil.
"The howl has been inside these walls for some years now. The town does not hear it. You should listen."

The Great Wheel and Its Spokes

60 gp
Book, planar cosmology · uncommon

An overview of the Outer Planes. Establishes that the Outlands sit at the center, ringed by sixteen Outer Planes accessible via Gate-Towns. At the Outlands' heart rises the Spire, around which Sigil floats — the city at the center of the multiverse.

Reading grants advantage on any planar Religion/Arcana check for one week.

Planar Lore
Available: she will lend, asks for return

Of Gate-Towns and Their Drift

50 gp
Book, planar theory · uncommon

How Gate-Towns at the Outlands' edge gradually adopt the character of their bordering plane — and how, through cumulative behavior, a town can slip entirely into its plane's nature.

Reads as theory. Becomes prophecy if you know what's happening to Hrafnheim.

Planar Lore
Available: for purchase

The Howling and the Boil — On Pandemonium and Limbo

200 gp
Book, planar grimoire · rare

Bound in dark hide, water-damaged. Written in two voices — one careful scholar, one increasingly unhinged toward the end.

On Pandemonium: endless tunnels carved by screaming winds. Four layers (Pandesmos, Cocytus, Phlegethon, Agathion). Native entities feed on coherence — they rewrite memory in the listener's mind. DC 10 Wisdom save per hour spent in the howl, or gain a level of exhaustion. Six levels = indefinite madness.

On Limbo: the plane of pure chaos. Bodies reshape under chaos's pressure. A traveler with focus can briefly shape the substance; one who loses focus is unmade.

Final scrawled passage: "They are kin, the Howl and the Boil. The Boil reshapes flesh. The Howl reshapes memory. Beware any place where both are at work at once. It is no plane. It is a wound."

Foreshadowing Pandemonium Limbo
Rare: one copy, never reprinted

Pilgrimage to the Sixteen

100 gp
Book, travelogue · uncommon

A slim travel-journal with sensory descriptions of each Outer Plane — colors, sounds, smells, the "feel" of each. Anonymous author. Some entries half-finished.

Carry it during planar travel: advantage on Religion/Arcana checks to identify a plane from its sensory impressions.

Planar Lore Identification
Available: for purchase

Scroll of Augury

75 gp
Scroll, 2nd-level divination · uncommon

Divination
Available: 1 scroll

Scroll of Speak with Dead

100 gp
Scroll, 3rd-level necromancy · uncommon

Cast Speak with Dead — ask five questions of a corpse. The corpse answers in whatever language it spoke in life.

"The healers might still have something to say."
