THE GREAT CLANS OF YU ZHING
This is a record of the noble clans of Yu Zhing that records their history up to the Era of the Demon Emperor. It provides a detailed account of each clan, as well as their notable deeds. The clans listed include: Shangguan Clan, Sima, Gongsun, Nangong, Gongye, Dongmen, Zhongli, Xuanyuan, Yangzi, and Situ. Of these Nangong, Gongye and Zhongli were executed en masse after a rebellion against the Demon Emperor.  

While the book appears to be a mere record of the clans and their actions, in reality it is a magical tome created to protect the clan's lineage. Anyone who reads about a given clan in this book, finds it difficult to kill members or descendants of the clan. When a character reads a clan entry, roll 3d10 against their Wits. On a Success a magical energy, unseen by human eyes, flows from the book into the heart of the reader. From then on, should that person try to strike a lethal blow against a person of the clan, they take 6d10 Open Damage with each attempt.
