Avernus Survival Guide was a book about the art of alchemy and the Part V of the Basics of Alchemy series penned by Haskinn Xhesilaphin, a dragonborn alchemist sometime before the late 15th century DR.[1]

To combat the spiritual perils, the company of a cleric is of paramount importance: to soothe those swayed by the plane's evil influence, or to consecrate the corpses of those who succumb.
— Excerpt from Avernus Survival Guide.[1]

Content[]

One of the book's chapters was titled On Traversing the First Layer and described the grim unwelcoming landscape of the Avernus, the first layer of Baator – stretches of desolate barren rocky land menaced by a black sky, cut across with rivers of blood. The author echoed common guidance for those brave or stupid enough to venture into the Hells: "turn around and run."[1]

History[]

In the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, copies of Avernus Survival Guide were sold at The Bibliophile book shop in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate by its proprietress, Nansi Gretta.[1]
