Kerra's Book (5e Equipment)

Wondrous Item, artifact (requires attunement)

While Ferra wrote a journal with all her learnings, Kerra, the goddess of lies, made a book of deceptions. She likes to keep this book close so that she can spread these lies across the multiverse. This book is plated in gold and has a decal of angel's wings on the front, all to give the appearance that it is a good book instead of what it really is. Kerra may gift this book to anyone she deems worthy of her lies and skills and spells. This book, unlike Ferra's journal, is not protected by any form of translation magic. Instead, the book will translate itself into any language the reader understands once they pick it up.

Destroying the Kerra's Book. To destroy Kerra's Book, all you have to do is write a truth in it. Once a truth in is the book, it will shred itself into tiny pieces. Tearing the pages will only make the page regenerate elsewhere in the book.
