Blank White Bible (Chapter Odd)
One of the R'lyeh Text transcripts that became the basis for Prelati's Spellbook. Common folk can only see blank white pages, but with enough madness in you, something comes to sight. Prelati once used one of their transcripts to close the gate to a place they accidentally connected to while high off of some kind of alchemic elixir. It was done by overwriting a seemingly blank Bible, sealing the very connection to the chaotic something. Then, he left his sworn brother Gilles in charge of this seal book seeping with sinister magical energy.
Side note: it's said that the original manuscript transcribed here came in a completely different format, written in ancient Chinese bamboo strips until Prelati remade it into books.
The book François holds when using his Noble Phantasm is called Blank Red Bible (Chapter Strange). There were allegedly at least two more called Blank Black Bible (Chapter Deviant) and Blank Blue Bible (Chapter Uncanny), but their present day location is unknown.
It's unclear whether they made another copy of the R'lyeh Text after producing Prelati's Spellbook or if becoming a Heroic Spirit is what allows him to reproduce the book he had in life.
When presenting the book to their Master, the Prelatis say the following:
"What do you see on the pages? If nothing, pat yourself in the back. You're sane."
"If you can read some... Guess we gotta overwrite the text with our fantastic and bombastic adventures together! Photos abound!"
Believe them at your own risk. Forging strong bonds with trolls comes with these disadvantages. Deal with it. Whether it also comes with advantages... only their Master's heart can decide.
