Text
Before her time as an exarch of Tempus and goddess of Strategy, the Red Knight was a paladin most devout. She toured armies the world over as both student and teacher, and thus war she elevated by Tempus to her current status. These pages contain that of her which was left on the material plane after her ascension.
Notes
- Reading the book grants you a Scroll of Artistry of War. This scroll can be consumed to cast
once. Alternatively, it can be scribed to a Wizard's spellbook, which allows you to cast the spell using a Level 5 Spell Slot once per Short Rest. - The line in the flavour text about 'a smattering of elemental strategy' is a reference to Gilbert and Sullivan's Major-General's Song.
