The Tomes of Creation

The Tomes of Creation are a series of writings that pertain to Arachyr and his offspring.

Excerpts

 * Arachyr is often portrayed as a spider, but there is much debate as to how many legs he actually had.


 * The unpredictability of the children of Arachyr is also their strength.


 * Much like his uncontrollable children, it is said he can be charmed to do ones bidding-but often turns on his supplicants with no warning.


 * Arachyr was the first of the beasts created for this world. As such, he is father to all others.


 * Some creatures are born of chaos. They can be summoned, but never tamed.

In-game
The writings form the basis of the flavor text for the components of the Spirit of Arachyr item set in Diablo III.
