Ancient hymnal



The Ancient Hymnal is a reward from The Temple at Senntisten quest. It is given to players by Azzanadra. Once a player reads this book they are given access to the Ancient Curses by praying at the Altar of Zaros. This book describes all the new prayers -also called curses- and their functions. The non English form of the curses are in Latin.

After the quest, this book can be found in the bookcase of a Player-owned house.
