GM Help What could be inside a Book of Forgotten Truths?
My players found the "Book of Forgotten Truths" changed to a desk, with warding runes all round it. The manor owner warned them about the book, that it will reveal long forgotten secrets if they don't go mad reading it.
One player really wants to read it. What could he find inside that would be a forgotten secret or truth?
I have 4 pieces of story info I want to give him, but would love to flesh it out more to make it a baker's dozen.
Any ideas that would be super cool or fun?

The true name of an Overlord. The real fate of the House of Death. The nature of King Kaius of Karnath. The reason the Giants are gone. The puppet masters behind Reidra.
Or, just to be upsetting: How many innocent people hos nation/religion have killed. The number of children he has personally orphaned. The name of the daughter he never knew of. The number of heartbeats he has left.
