This is a green zircon-bound codex.
The written portion consists of a 17 page short story entitled It Must Have Been Sewer, authored by Rovod Safetours.The work has no particular subject. The writing shows a hint of tenderness yet it is somewhat showy. Overall, the prose is not awful, but not very good, either.

In case you ever want a safe tour of the sewer, Rovod is the guy to see.

This is a marcasite-bound codex.
The written portion consists of a 3 page poem entitled Velvety Filths, authored by Sas Brainsinges. The work has no particular subject. The writing moves quickly from subject to subject. Overall, the poetry is masterful.

Sas Brainsinges. Now there's a name to conjure with. Sounds like the lead singer for a punk rock band. Come to think of it, "Velvety Filths" sounds like the name of a punk rock band.

This is a yellow grossular-bound codex.
The written portion consists of a 44 page guide entitled Journey to the Gutter, authored by Sas Brainsinges. It concerns the pits of Hatespawns. The writing is a completely unhinged rant. Overall, the prose is not awful, but not very good, either.

Sas is at it again. Completely unhinged, yup, sounds like a punk rocker. Sounds like he should stick to poetry.

This is a sapphire-bound codex.
The written portion consists of a 19 page essay entitled Hatespawns and Other Travesties, authored by Sas Brainsinges. It concerns the authoring of The Fragile Irons and Martyr by the elf Sas Brainsinges in Hatespawns in the early winter of 195. The writing is a completely unhinged rant and it is excessively ornate. Overall, the prose is not awful, but not very good either.

Yeah, Ol' Sas definitely went downhill when he stopped doing poetry and switched to prose.

I had a giraffe demon impersonating a god in a human civilization back in .34. I forget what deity it was, but it was some kind of peaceful friendly deity.

Then he started writing books. These took titles such as: "Could it be the Giraffe Demon" and "It must have been the Giraffe Demon" or "Start your day with the Giraffe Demon".

Noone ever complained. It was like he was progressively daring them to call him out.

Wait, book-writing wasn't restricted to Necromancers in .34?

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

No, [SPOILER]s would write many books. But only [SPOILER]s-posing-as-gods-acting-as-monarchs. Them and necromancers wrote all the books, I think. Then the **SLABS**, which let the [SPOILER]s out of the [SPOILERIFIC PLACE] in the first place.

Is this still the case? Supposing the [SPOILER] knows a secret (via the SUPERNATURAL tag, though that seems to be broken,) would it disseminate it through its writings?

"Written on the item is a manual entitled Distillation: Problems and Solutions."

ffs Cilob Wheelsdashed. You're a Professional Writer. This is beneath you.

To be fair, someone has to teach the lesser races about distillation.

my first tavern ended up with a RNG given name along the lines of "The Viginal [somethingorother]".

Not sure if missing the point was intentional.

[Dwarf4Explosives]

If it's the "problems" bit, booze not brewing fast enough is definitely a problem. Or is it the "solutions" pun?

Yeah, the solutions pun was what I found thread-worthy.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

Spoiler: never explain the joke, but i am, just for those who aren't Adequate Chemists (click to show/hide)

A solution is a homogeneous mixture. You would distill to get a more pure solution. The pun is that the title is "Distillation: Problems and SOLUTIONS", and you distill a solution. Get it?

Don't read if you're going to complain about my explanation making the joke not funny anymore.

A forgotten beast named The Glutton-Beetle of Meanness.

He wasn't a beetle.

And...

A forgotten beast named "Gened the Lustful Itch of Tumors"...

I have no idea...

[TheBiggerFish]

That sounds...Wrong.

Remember to check yourself for lumps, guys.

I had a human bard named Aso Snugglescuffle show up.

Don let snugglescuffle near the children.
