Urgund's Description of Darkness was a book telling of the author's captivity in the lower planes.[1][2][3][4]

Description[]

Although it was a grim work, it was not much more than a listing of names and palaces, for the horrors within them were too much to set down on paper.[1][2][3] It was written in a strange and hesitant hand, and bound in a black cover.[4]

Notably, in it Urgund made mention of the Seven Lost Gods of antiquity and their service to the god Bane, the Black Lord. He wrote "...and seated foremost in the Hall of Minor Courtiers were the lesser powers: Maram of the Great Spear; Haask, Voice of Hargut; Tyranthraxus the Flamed One; Borem of the Lake of Boiling Mud; and Camnod the Unseen. These too fell down and became servants of the great lord Bane."[1][2][3][4]

Notable Owners[]

A copy of Urgund's Description of Darkness was stored in the philosophy section of Mantor's Library in Phlan around 1340 DR.[1][2][3]
