Only one kind of books is found in IVAN - the holy books of various [[gods]]. Reading a holy book will teach the player the magical rites needed to contact the god in question. Simply said, you can pray to the god after you have read his book.
  
=== Deliver the Encrypted Scroll ===
+
Books come in three colours for the three [[Alignment]]s; yellow for lawful, blue for neutral and red for chaotic. Each time you read any book, your alignment slightly shifts towards the faction of the book. It also make the god a bit friendlier towards you, but your piety for all gods of different alignment will be decreased, in a way similar how prayers work.
This is the very first quest assigned to you as part of the game's intro. You are entrusted with an encrypted [[scroll]] to deliver to the High Priest [[Petrus]] at the city of [[Attnam]].<br>
 
Unfortunately for you, New Attnam is surrounded by water and Attnam's ships are trapped in winter's ice, so your only option is to travel by foot through the [[Underwater Tunnels]] which are rife with monsters and hostile plant life.
 
  
Once you have successfully fought your way through the tunnel and delivered the scroll to Petrus, you will immediately be sent on the '''Freedom Quest''' and the location of the [[Gloomy Cave]] will be revealed on the world map.
+
Holy books disappear after a random number of readings, around one to six.
  
=== Freedom Quest ===
+
== Notes ==
Having read the encrypted scroll, you discover that [[Richel Decos]] has sold you into slavery under Petrus in an attempt to avoid paying Attnam more taxes. Unfortunately for him, Petrus and [[Sir Haedlac Galladon VII]] are already wise to his tricks, due to reports he had been buying medium sized castles with the immense amounts of treasure seized from the natives of Tweraif. Petrus would like to investigate, but cannot do so until spring as he does not wish to lose troops to the cold.
 
  
In any case, Petrus decides he must find something for you to do in the meantime. As it turns out, an evil dark frog by the name of [[Elpuri]] has taken up residence in an abandoned mine as of late, and has been harassing Attnam and building an army. Additionally, the Shirt of the Golden Eagle - the best armor in existence - has been stolen from the cathedral. Fortunately Elpuri cannot wear it due to his immense size, but any who can would be nigh immortal, Petrus says.<br>
+
* The effect of reading a holy book the first time is similar to simply walking over an [[altar]].
Due to your experience fighting underground, Petrus decides to send you after Elpuri and will reward you with your freedom should you present him with his head. Should you also recover the Shirt of the Golden Eagle, he will raise you to knighthood.
 
  
Successfully diving into the Gloomy Cave, defeating Elpuri and returning to Petrus with his head will give you the freedom ending and a 2X multiplier to your total score.
+
* Reading books and [[scrolls]] also increases your [[wisdom]] and [[intelligence]].
  
=== Knighthood Quest ===
+
* Reading a holy book while [[Confused]] may waste the book in addition to having a small chance of inflicting a temporary random status on you.
You may recall Petrus mentioned someone stole the Shirt of the Golden Eagle, and that he would grant you a knighthood for its safe return.<br>
 
Once you have defeated Elpuri you may notice a strange portal in his lair. Trying to enter it prompts you with a warning, saying that you feel entering it would be extremely dangerous and that you would have no way back.
 
  
Should you brave the portal, you will be deposited to an even deeper level of the Gloomy Cave, far more dangerous than those above. If you can successfully fight your way through to its deepest point and retrieve the Shirt of the Golden Eagle from its guardian, you will be able to take a portal back up to the higher levels of the cave. You may then return to Attnam and present the shirt to Petrus for your knighthood... or decided to challenge Petrus for the title of '''High Priest'''.

Returning the Shirt of the Golden Eagle to Petrus nets you the knighthood ending and a 4X multiplier to your score.
 
 
 
=== Chaos Ending ===
 
At any point in the game you can decide to instead take a third option and rebel against Petrus and the rest of the Attnamese Empire.<br>
 
Although extremely difficult - especially if you haven't prepared yourself adequately - if you manage to exterminate the entirety of Attnam including Petrus, you can take his [[Left Nut of Petrus|left nut]] and leave town, where you will be greeted and taken in by [[Mortifer]] as his Champion of Chaos.
 
 
 
Slaying Petrus and leaving town with his left nut grants you a 3X multiplier to your score.
 
 
 
=== Becoming the High Priest ===
 
The position of High Priest of the Great Frog is one taken by force. Every High Priest has ascended to his position by slaying the previous High Priest and taking his place. If you wish to become the High Priest of the Great Frog, your ascension to the throne will be no different.
 
 
 
Once you have retrieved the Shirt of the Golden Eagle and returned to Attnam, Petrus will ask you to return it to him. Should you give it to him, you'll gain knighthood and the game will end immediately. If however you decide to be greedy or vengeful you can instead refuse to give him the shirt and challenge him for the position of High Priest. Petrus will turn bright red and engage you in mortal combat - however this will not be an honest duel! Literally ''everyone'' in Attnam will rush to the aid of their High Priest and aid in combat in whatever way they can.
 
 
 
Should you manage to defeat Petrus, everyone still left alive will accept his defeat and go back to their normal activities. In order to secure your ending, all you must do is become the Champion of Valpurus (by increasing your relationship with him to 1000), take up the [[Left Nut of Petrus]], equip the Shirt of the Golden Eagle and sit on Petrus' throne.
 
 
 
Once you have been declared the new High Priest of the Great Frog, the game ends and you net a 5X multiplier to your score.
 
 
 
== Side Quests ==
 
 
 
=== Sumo Champion Quest ===
 
If you decide to pay a visit to [[New Attnam]] at some point on your journey you may come across [[Huang Ming Pong]] the sumo wrestler in his hut. If you are feeling confident in your unarmed combat abilities you can challenge him to a sumo match (which as it turns out is actually more like an unarmed fight to the death) while the tourists and [[Richel Decos]] watch on.<br>
 
The rules are simple - you and Huang fight each other in a small arena using mirror images. You are completely stripped of all items and equipment, meaning your victory can only be secured via your statistics and unarmed combat skill.
 
 
 
If you manage to defeat Huang in mortal combat, you will be rewarded with the [[belts|belt of levitation]] and a [[Shirt of Decos Banana Co.|shirt with a decos banana co. advert]] which you can use to gain some gold based on the amount of time you've spent wearing it.<br>
 
Huang will also teach you some martial arts, giving a boost to your unarmed combat skill.
 
 
 
=== Revolution ===
 
At any point in the game you can decide to liberate New Attnam from the clutches of the imperialists. Simply attack Richel Decos or his guards to begin this subquest. Take particular care to attack only Richel Decos, his rookie guards, the shopkeeper and the banana grower encourager - attacking anyone else will turn the natives hostile and break the quest.
 
 
 
If you manage to overcome Richel Decos and his cohorts, New Attnam will be freed and all the natives will have a change in dialogue. However, you will earn the ire of Huang Ming Pong as the natives will stop bringing him bananas and he will refuse to agree to a sumo match. If you wish to start the revolution and still gain the belt of levitation, make sure you beat Huang Ming Pong in sumo wrestling before you take on Richel Decos.
