In a Scholarly mood?
>open my book
The smell of acrid ink fills the air as you open your leather book.
>flip my book
You clear your throat in a polite request for silence before turning the page in your leather book and resuming your reading.
>turn my book to 2
You turn your book's pages to the chapter on alchemy.
Perhaps you'd rather contemplate the Sacred...
>invoke my book
You raise your leather book skyward as you preach from its pages about the virtue of the Lords of Liabo!
>rub my book
The wise words about the Lords of Liabo in your leather book fill you with a serene joy.
Or if you're feeling Sinister...
>point my book at Sindin
You confront Sindin with your leather book and direct his attention to a chilling passage on the topic of necromancy.
>punch my book
You bring your readings to a conclusion and slam your leather book shut with a loud THUD!
Three flavors, with a variety of chapters on sale & many more to come in the future.
FANCYBOOKS!

>>Can I write in it for real?
You can roleplay writing in it with a verb, but no functional writing, it's just kooky customizable fluff.
Other details:
- Unlocked FancyBooks can hold a total of 10 chapters;
- Each flavor of FancyBook comes with 1 chapter OTS, and 9 more for sale;
- You can only add chapters to a FancyBook that are paired with its flavor. So you can only add Sinister chapters to Sinister FancyBooks, Sacred to Sacred, Scholarly to Scholarly;
- You can remove chapters you have added, but they poof once you do;
- More chapters to come in the future!

>>Are the books going to be bound to the character at any time? Purchase or Tier Unlock levels?
Absolutely not! The only limitation is, they come in three "flavors" (Scholarly, Sacred, Sinister) and unlike FancySheaths, you cannot change a book between flavors. This is due to the way the messaging is intended to complement the topics; generally, Sinister topics don't make sense with Scholarly messaging, and so on.
It's my intention to release lots and lots more chapters in each flavor over time, so you can build a variety of books that cover different areas of interest, devotion or obsession. Or build one favorite book that covers All Things You.

Subject: Fancy Books update
This has been updated as follows:
- You can now PULL your book to remove a chapter.
- You can TURN TO # (1-10) to flip directly to a chapter. (this may have existed previously... I forget!)
- You can WHISPER to your book to swap chapter placement.
Eg: whisper book swap 5 with 1 - this will swap the contents in slot 1 and 5. This will also work if the slot is empty.
Let me know if you experience any issues with these updates!

Subject: FancyBooks Update!
Hey folks -- FancyBooks are coming back to Duskruin, with a big update in the form of a new tier. This fourth tier includes four new verbs that use two chapters at the same time!

A passage concerning exotic fruits sparks a fire of doubt within you, which you look to snuff within the pages concerning precious herbs.
NUDGE (SINISTER)
You recoil in terror by a hidden implication within your book's passage on brutal mercenaries and turn to the pages on shadowy spies to quell your fears.
POUND (SCHOLARLY)
Moved by the strength of the thesis your book proposes, you invite those listening to ponder the considerable downsides of Ta'Vaalor, while cautioning them against the hidden dangers of Ta'Illistim.

You can set the second chapter via the new verb RAISE, or leave it unset and have one randomly selected instead!
>raise book with 2
Perusing through your book, you locate a thought-provoking passage in the chapter on Ta'Illistim and earmark the page.
Unlocking manuals for this new tier will cost a bit more than previous tiers, considering the novelty involved, but hopefully it's worth it! Tiers 1-3 are unchanged.
There are also three new families chapters for sale:
- Scholarly chapters about the Elven Nations
- Sacred chapters about foraging
- Sinister chapters about crime
Thank you to GM Haliste for coding this update.
Happy reading!
