I remember hearing about this Steve. Wasn't it found on a parchment in one of the caves of Morduur -- the Revelation to Tikka.
It surely was. An obscure work by an unknown person, entitled
Caminus Periculum - Dangerous Forge.
This document also contained advice on the stock market - when a stock market was a place for trading animals. One particularly telling entry was about cattle being struck with open sores in the spring of the year. "Beware the hides of March..." or words to that effect. It has been years since my studies.
Ave! (pronounced ah-VEY!)
