Contents
The book described in detailed Matagar's plans on turning Daggerford into a prosperous gem of a city rivaling Waterdeep. He cited Daggerford's location right on the trade routes from River Delimbiyr and the Trade Way being the city's untapped potential. He blamed the city's previous leaders on Daggerford not reaching its potential and being just a place for farmers to peddle their goods. He praised himself as a visionary that was going to make Daggerford great. Bugo proclaimed that with the new tax increase the city was able to afford larger military on top of newly formed and funded Griffons Mercenary Company, he planed the Griffons to eclipse Baldur's Gate's Flaming Fists. The tax increase also would finance larger docks for the new naval force. He praised his taxation and Griffons for the upcoming security of the caravans and asked the citizens to have faith in the golden outlook.

History
In 1372 DR, after Duke Pwyll's death, the city's leadership was taken over by a wealthy merchant and a member of the city council, Matagar Bugo. The ambitious new duke wrote this book to educate the citizens of his grand plans for Daggerford. He placed a young girl at the entrance to the Ducal Castle who was selling the copies of the Golden Book for 1 gp each, claiming it was inspirational.
