Silas Stavro - Alive or Dead!? (artifact)
Silas Stavro - Alive or Dead!? is a series of Chevalien (largely dictated) books and pamphlets by the increasingly elder and erratic Abaël Venodau. The series remains highly controversial to this day due to its seeming support of Stavroist beliefs; it claims that the Arch-Lich Silas Stavro was not, in fact, killed in his invasion of the Marches and defeat at the hands of the The Champion of Chevalie, but is actually alive and regularly visits Abaël to enjoy tea and debates about romance literature. Its detractors claim it is a good example of Venodau having gone insane, its supporters claim it as a fantastic metaphorical piece.
