Personal Dictations of Chernivmala Cheskovara (artifact)

This tome is a Chevalien copy of the recovered 'personal dictations' of Kartharaddi Lich Chernivmala 'God-Slaver' Cheskovara. Achieving Lichdom in the 7th century after journeying north and escaping her people, Cheskovara would proceed to become one of the Lichdoms many 'minor Liches', who spent most of her time struggling to carve out a necropolis and fight petty territorial wars with neighboring Liches without ever amassing enough power to mount a proper invasion south.

This memoir was likely written by several undead servants who, judging by several pages filled with curses and angered rebuttals of their 'brainless idiocy', were resurrected just to constantly follow Chernivmala and write down her words. On page twelve of over two thousand (though half of them have long been lost and forgotten due to most scholars considering the writing to be 'subpar'), the Lich states that this is because "My glorious words will one day be beautiful holy texts! The people will worship me as divinity once I cast down their pathetic Gods! They must have their scripture! My words shall not be lost to history!"

The text was recovered by Anti-Magi Sir Krenaud den Vy, who ventured north with the knightly Peti Gisreddean band of 'the Companions of the Winking Rose', and assaulted Cheskovara in her fortress of 'Everblight'. While they of course ensured the tale sounded suitably epic, a technical reading of their reports and a cross-referencing of the various accounts make it clear that Cheskovara was already seemingly on the verge of death when they found her, and her army had largely been destroyed earlier, as mentioned in several passages.
