Question 23: Book of Eibhil Edit

September, 2016 - [No Link]

Q: Related to Sendings of Darkness is the Book of Eibhil. It was quite important to AC2, and later in the life of AC1 it became the focus of a story arc. What is the origin of this book? Who wrote it? Where does it get its power?

A: That's not a question for me, I'm afraid. I invented the Book of Eibhil as a toss-away reference when I wrote "Our Great Work" for Frore. I wanted something that sounded old and ominous, and went with a shabbily disguised reference to the "Book of Eibon" used by H.P. Lovecraft (actually invented by Clark Ashton Smith).

Everything beyond that initial reference is the creation of later Live Team members. Unfortunately, I can't even guess who should be properly credited for that work.
