The Chthonic Verses by Eldridge Plinth is a slim book of about 100 pages with a cover that is worn and stained. The cover is made from a dark redwood and has thin spikes of brass forming an unpleasant glyph that causes a ringing in the ears of anyone who looks at it for more than a few seconds (at least a turn) The pages are a heavy paper made from the Pyre Lotus. The Verses are in neatly printed Dwarfish and were penned with a water based, brown ink from the Drome River, in the Underdark. Plinth's tome is free of illustrations of any kind and is infamous for the author’s screed against Dhalripple Ferrodrang for his improper techniques at crafting aqueducts in Appendix V.
Anyone who attempts to open the book must succeed on a DC 12 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the reader contracts Cackle Fever (in the DMG).
