The Boyhood Days of Drehn Mal'Sohm
This book can be found in a chest in northeastern Av'Sal. It is something of a propaganda piece, glorifying the childhood of Avsohm's first emperor, Drehn Mal'Sohm, in the form of a childrens' book. It paints Drehn as a near-prodigy, as well as a young boy of incredibly upstanding moral character that other children should aim to replicate.

Now children, listen, so you'll learn:
The founder of our state.
The boyhood tale of Drehn Mal'sohm,
Who made our nation great.
Born of a King young Mal'Sohm was,
But humble nonetheless.
He learned to speak at only two!
It's clear he was quite blessed.
His maths he learned as well as sports,
For he could leap and run.
He became skilled in poetry,
And knew his sword and gun.
One day young Drehn made quite a mess:
He broke a vase, I must confess.
Fearful of his father's wrath,
He tried to hide the aftermath.
But his father was no fool
and knew immediately
that his young son was the culprit,
indubitably.
He queried the young Mal'Sohm at length.
Drehn said with grief:
"It was me, sir",
and looked him in the eye.
"Come to my arms, my son!" said he,
"You've made me quite content.
For all my loss - you told the truth,
though you feared punishment."
And from that day Drehn told no lie
And was loyal to Avsohm.
Oh how this brave and truthful boy,
Became our greatest man.
