The '''Black Rock Ledger''' is made up of pages strewn around Sanctuary. There are six pages known to be in the game although the original ledger is at least 42 pages in length.
Each page is numbered, being 4, 8, 1, 16, 23 and 42 and they are all found in Act II.
==Clues and Theories==
If the numbers seem familiar it might be that you recognise them from the TV show [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_(TV_series) LOST]. The numbers were a running story element throughout the long-standing series and caused much speculation. The first letter of text from each of the six pages spells out '''DHARMA''' an initiative that appeared in LOST. If the acronym is significant that would suggest there are no more pages in between those in the game. Staying with LOST, The Black Rock was a mid-19th century ship that became shipwrecked en route to a mining colony and ended up on the other side of the island.

'''M'''adness, complete bloody madness. The captain has disappeared into the desert somewhere, and the rest of the survivors are convinced there's some sort of monster after us. I'm starting to think the crewmen that died in the wreck got the easy way out, lucky bastards.
:* There was a mysterious black cloud that appeared to be sentient and would snatch people away in LOST. There is a black tornado that sweeps across the [[Stinging Winds]]. It seems to appear more often in the east of the east portion of the Stinging Winds.
'''A'''ll the rest of them are dead now... I'm the only one left. Strange deformed creatures attacked the wreck, where most of us were sleeping. I managed to get away safely... but I don't imagine it will be that way for long. I can hear... giggling in the shadows, like this is some kind of game. -- [[First Mate McMahon]]
==Location the Black Rock Ledger==
[[File:Black rock ledger miner.jpg|left|100px]]All the pages are found in four locations within the [[Stinging Winds]]. A miner will appear next to the wreck of a ship which can spawn in one of four locations. These are marked on the map below.
As you approach him he will say ''Be careful... this ship is cursed by demons! We should be safe as long as we don't disturb it!''' Unfortunately at that point a [[Fallen Lunatic]] runs up to the Miner explodes taking the Miner with him in a bloody mess and a single page from the ledger. He will always drop a page but it could be one you already have.
To farm this area choose the quest [[City of Blood]] at the menu screen. You'll appear in the [[Hidden Camp]]. Take the [[Waypoint]] to [[Khasim Outpost]]. Just outside of the south eastern exit of the Outpost into the [[Stinging Winds]] you'll get a [[Checkpoint]] so once you've searched the four locations you can '''Leave Game''' and simply '''Resume''' at the menu to begin at that checkpoint.
