This was meant to be the start to an epic quest, but the Wizard failed his knowledge check.
disappointed that none of them are autobiographies

King Mbesa did give me the book, it being one of poore Jonas chiefe possessions, together with ample of his skin to bynd it. Requiescat in pace.’"
Must have been pretty good friends to bind a book with his leftover flayed skin. I have enough trouble getting my friends to help me move.

@JonT, Talk about your surprise endings! M Night had nothing on that guy.
What a twist!
I can't find the Pinterest board for flesh-binding books. I really don't want to pay for a professional to do it, and I have all this extra flayed skin sitting around.

@JonT, looks to be an interesting rabbit hole on the Wavuma reference. This quote may be only use. I stopped at Google results with impression it was African tribe.
It'd be cool if they were related to the Kuba tribe, who's origin deity was pronounced Woot.
