In 1, Hiņer Dotrhyming became the sacred law of the Cathedral of Webs of the Gleeful Faith in the town of Foldchanneled. After being attacked by a minotaur, she became obsessed with her own mortality and was gifted with a legendary obsidian slab from the gods known as the First Noble of Menacing in 27.
This was no ordinary slab, not something authored by a necromancer. It contained a custom secret to transform readers into powerful living weapons for the destruction of undead. There are only one or two of these slabs per world, and those few who read them become paladins.
In 27, the First Noble of Menacing was stored in Foldchanneled. As far as the legends indicate, it has not moved since then.
History marched on. Dotrhyming herself was forced into retirement after the people became suspicious at her lack of aging. The Cathedral of Webs was profaned multiple times (the deity involved ironically turned all who did so into vampires), and was finally razed in 175 by the aptly-named Coalition of Attacking.
In late fall of 244, the dwarven archaeologist/swordmaster Uvad Guildanguished the Soapy Guise of Decency arrived in Foldedchannels and began searching for the lost slab in the ruins of the Cathedral of Webs. The upper temple is gone but the basement is still present, albeit home to multiple mummies from Dotrhyming's era and a severe kobold infestation. After some difficulties and savescumming, the place seems pacified.
There are no signs of the slab in the cathedral.
Could it have been destroyed forever when the upper temple was razed by the Coalition of Attacking? Or would it be in a long-abandoned house somewhere in the sprawling city of Foldchanneled? I am unsure.
