"An ancient leather grimoire" was first released at the Grand Auction of 5123 and is also referred to as "The Tome of Secrets". The tome will allow you to teleport to

You analyze your leather grimoire and sense that the creator has provided the following information:

This is a book that can teleport the user to specific locations detailed on each page.  It can only be used once per 24 hours per page, meaning each page has its own cooldown period.  Teleporting cost all but 1 of your health and stamina each use, so be careful!  There are some pages that look to be repeating themselves, that's intended...for now.

The grimoire have the following verbs:

  OPEN/CLOSE           - Open or close the grimoire.
  READ/LOOK            - Get information about the current page.
  FLIP/TURN            - Increment the page count.
  TOUCH                - Use the magic of the grimoire and teleport.
  LISTEN               - sPoOkY.

This cannot be altered in any way.
The page is written in a foreign runic language.  In the center, the page reads, "This page is different from the rest, I believe it is information about the book itself.  I found this book plundering a tomb in Feywrot Mire.  I took it to Brother Balbaroy Wren who stated it has a dark aura surrounding it and to be careful using the book.  Placing my hand upon the bloodstained print teleported me across the lands, leaving me drained and in places for the dead.  It was odd though, I felt as if my very existence changed while I was transported.  I was able to decipher 7 of the pages and wrote notes to where they took me.  I am unsure if the other pages are unusable, but after using the grimoire, I thought it best to show Teekhum.  Perhaps he'll be able to help me.  I named it the "Tomb of Secrets" as a play on words!"
