A Collection of Navehan Lore
Bedarni of Cherafir, 540 TR

Note: this tome contains information copied from the Journals of one Bedarni of Cherafir. Haliki Bedarni was a Save K’norian member of the Order of Rydelquin. He had extensive contacts within the Lia-Kavair and was intimate with the ways of the assassins of Cherafir. It must be noted that Bedarni eventually went insane and caused much strife for the Temple of Rydelquin in Cherafir, and so the entries that follow must be taken with a grain of sand. But as Arin said "Within the greatest of lies are found the seeds of truth." Haliki Metharnis, Cherafir, 695 TR.

Essence of Gekrish (IV/15)

Dream Salve of Krasula (IV/ 25)
This ritual takes several hours to perform, and requires special unguents and rare and exotic ingredients. When complete, the salve must be applied to the closed eyes of a victim. (Not an easy task, unless the victim is drugged as well) The purpose of the salve is to bring the victim into the horrific realm of "The Hunter of Sleep" and to experience the terror of Naveh’s chief Gytevsha charged with delivering nightmares. The dream typically takes about an hour to complete. Victim rolls vs. Will. Ritual Success: MS 3 x Will CS: 1 x Will. Consult the following table:

Eyes of Kamil (IV/25)

The main purpose of this ritual is to gain information about the victim, and not to torture him/her. Victims must roll against aura to detect their observers. Ritual Result: MS: AURA x 3 CS: AURA x 1. If the victims succeed on the Aura roll, they are given an uneasy feeling of being watched, only on a Critical success, will they be able to see anything with any form. It is difficult to get much useful information from these Gytevsha as it is their passion to spread falsehoods.

Curse of Dekejis (V/20)
This ritual takes about 5 minutes to perform, and causes the victim to experience the pain of the Stigmata of Dekejis. With MS: the victim rolls an E4, with CS the victim must roll E6 or pass out.
