In [[Moonbeast]] hieroglypgs, by unknown moonbeast authors. A series of plates of black stone, laced together with thick wire to form a sort of book. Attached to the book by a small chain is a disk of curved glass with a rod-like handle, similar to a magnifying glass, which allows one to read the Moonbeast inscriptions as though they were written in their own native tongue, revealing that the black plates deal with the worship of [[Nyarlathotep]] in clinical detail, as well as dealing with methods of torture as applied to some seventeen different alien species, including humankind (interestingly, [[Ghoul]]s and humans are classified as the same species!)
