start_section "Judging It By Its Cover"
pdf.text "This tome is an Artifact-grimoire with certain special properties. It easily weighs about thirty or so pounds from all of the paper within it. It is leather bound with a very visible face on its cover and no title listed; each time people look away and take another look at it, the face on it changes. Upon opening it, it appears anachronistic and mixed. Most of the pages are merely old paper, but some of them are papyrus scrolls that have been glued into it, while others are cuneiform tablets, and some are even touch screens. Upon inspection of this tome, it's clear it should be much bigger, and much heavier, than it actually is. A quill pen is attached to it by a string. Even though a quill pen normally would only be used with ink-on-paper, it appears to also work as a tool to etch into the cuneiform tablets, as a stylus for the touch screens, and whatever else someone manages to find in this tome. Its contents change upon future viewings, making it feel like an endless sea."

start_section "Its True Origin"
pdf.text "There is quite a bit of dispute about the origin of the Book of Faces. A number of Awakened have insisted that only an entity deep in the labyrinths of Pandemonium could have conceived of this, but some Lost claim it is definitely some kind of Prop. Uratha typically haven't weighed in on this topic, but when they have, they surmised more than insisted that one of the more potent spirits of information or identity concocted it. Very few Kindred weigh in as well, but those few who do typically hail from the Ordo Dracul, and just as typically hautily guffaw at the thought that something other than some Methuselah Elder of great and terrible wisdom would contrive such a cruelly useful tome. Other supernatural entities have their own explanations, but as with so many things, the truth is not really known by anybody."
