Ragambald Manswel's Bestiarium (artifact)

Ragambald Manswel was a remarkably well traveled Marcher adventurer who purportedly sailed as far east as the borders of Kathun Kai. Upon his return to Chevalie Ragambald began the laborious process of scribing his numerous journals and sketches into written form. The accounts contained within are an unparalelled and surprisingly accurate guide to the various fauna, magical and otherwise, which stalk the remote regions of Aeras. Ragambald's own biography - supposedly recorded in a separate volume - has sadly been almost completely lost to history, but from his surviving work he must have been a remarkable and well educated man. Some have even suggested that Manswel may have been a pen name but this, as with everything else about Manswel's life is heavily disputed among Chevalien literati.
