Revision as of 10:03, 26 August 2009

The writings of Abd al-Hazir are well known in the civilised parts of Sanctuary. The writings of al-Hazir seem to both be named works as well as a collection of works, such as a diary. The Writings of Abd al-Hazir is thereby probably both the name of a book as well as literary meaning a collection of his writing.

The 42nd entry is the last known writing of Abd al-Hazir. Known for his compilation of weird and wonderful facts about our unique world, he has unfortunately been missing since late last year.
