Title: "Yawning Through History: Tales That Somehow Matter"

Author: Doris Dullquill

Description: "Yawning Through History" is an amusingly unconventional historical tome, penned by the notoriously monotone historian, Doris Dullquill. This book takes its readers on a whimsically dry journey through the most surprisingly significant events in fantastical history, often overlooked due to their seemingly mundane nature.

Each chapter begins with what appears to be an unremarkable historical event or figure, but Dullquill, with her unique blend of dry wit and scholarly boredom, reveals the hidden, often hilarious significance behind them. From the Great Goblin Sit-In of 450 A.E. (which, against all odds, led to the development of the enchanted spork) to the very uneventful, yet crucial, Nap of Ymixnarazen, these stories showcase history's lesser-known yet oddly impactful moments.

Included are helpful (and comically patronizing) footnotes on how to conduct historical research the contemporary world, such as where to find the most sleep-inducing historical texts and how to interpret the scribbles of ancient, and apparently quite bored, scribes.

This book is perfect for adventurers who enjoy a good laugh while learning about the oddly important events of the past. It also serves as an invaluable guide for those looking to undertake historical research, providing insights into the peculiarities of studying history in a world where magic and the mundane intertwine.


In game mechanics: If you spend 48 hours over a period of 6 days or fewer studying the book's contents and practicing its guidelines, your history bonus increases by 2 permanently. "Yawning Through History" then loses its magic, once you benefit from the contents of this book once you can not receive them again.
