Ancient beyond measure, the Book of Cain is the black bible of the Vampires. Supposedly penned by the legendary First Vampire, Cain, in the blood of the demon-god Melmnohch, this book has been mass produced by the vampires. It supposedly tells the tale of Cain, his casting from the Valley of Man by the “Gods of the Cursed Sun” as they are called, and the birth of the vampires. It is believed that almost every vampire owns a copy of this book. An excerpt:

               “Be wary, Blood of my Blood;
               Shun the sharp thing that
               wouldst peirce thy heart;
               Shun the Cursed Sun that
               wouldst burn they flesh;
               Partakest thou not of the
               water that runs, nor shalt
               thou partakest of the water
               that is blessed of the Gods
               of the Cursed Sun”

Bound in humanskin leather, it’s pages have been soaked in blood so that the vellum is a pinkish color. The red verses are written in sinister tongue of the Underworld. The book also contains the horrific secrets of the Dark Gifts, the inherited magical gifts that are passed between generations of vampires.

Magical Properties:
