'''''The Book of Equestrianism''''' is a mysterious book of unknown authorship. The book's contents, while recognizable as coherent language, are encrypted with an unknown cipher.
== History ==
Nearly a decade ago, [[IRIS]] agent [[Minerva Park]] spent several months attempting to decipher the ''Book of Equestrianism''. Upon noticing her efforts were attracting unwanted attention, Minerva transferred possession of the book to her sister, [[Nyx Slaughter]], who lived with her husband [[Khan Mann]] and their daughter [[Hybris]] in [[Sterling Township]] in [[Lakeland]], [[Zeoria]].
Nyx and Khan were found dead in their home at [[221 W. Baker Street]] mere days after receiving the book. Minerva, unwilling to risk potentially exposing her IRIS affiliation by interfering in a homicide investigation in a foreign country, was unable to recover the book.
Nyx's daughter Hybris, then 7 years old, found the ''Book of Equestrianism'' among Nyx's belongings shortly after catching her parents' killer. To this day, Hybris holds the book to be evidence of a greater conspiracy surrounding the murders, though she is yet to find sufficient evidence to bring a case to the police.
Minerva remains unaware that the ''Book of Equestrianism'' is presently in Hybris's possession.
== Appearance ==
''The Book of Equestrianism'' is a large red book bound in red. The front cover of the book is blank except for a gold border and a small gold emblem of a horseshoe in the center.
