This book has a desiccated tongue pinned to its front cover. Five of these tomes exist, and it’s unknown which one is the original. The tongue on the first Tome of the Stilled Tongue belonged
again until the next dawn.
Only you can remove the tongue from the book’s cover. If you do so, all spells written in the book are permanently erased.
Vecna watches anyone using this tome and can write cryptic messages in it. These messages typically fade away after they are read.
