"The Dragon-scale Tome, ...so named because its pages are made from fine shavings of blue dragon hide, is an investigation into the history and fate of 20 of the most prominent artifacts on Oerth. Written by Timonas of Jalpa by the command of the Emperor of the Malachite Throne, the book is a compilation from other histories, rumors, legends, and spells. Thus, it is a mixture of fact and fiction.
...describes the appearances of [the Hand and Eye of Vecna] over the centuries, beginning with the Insurrection of the Yaheetes (in the Dreadwood), then with the reign of Vecna the Second at Tyrus (believed to have been somewhere along the Pomarj coast), to the Gnomelord of Blemu, and on to the Paladin-King of Miro (location never identified)."[1]
The book is used in researching the Hand of Vecna and Eye of Vecna. It describes some of the times the artifacts have appeared throughout history. It gives reference to the location of the kingdom of Halmadar the Cruel (in what is now the Shield Lands).[1]
