The Nameless Book [1] is relic from a time when the Old Ones ruled Earth, a book so powerful, ancient, and full of magic that no one can say its real name or terrible things would happen. [2]
History
During a paranormal conference, the Nameless Book was stolen from a Soviet institute's collection by Vladimir Pavel Maximov and Dmitri Smerdyakov. In order to distract the authorities, they pinned the theft on the Ghostbusters. In the confusion, they took the book to the Old One Cult and began to cast a spell from it. The cult was taken to the Temple of the Old One where the book awakened The Old One. The book was never seen again after the Ghostbusters defeated the Old One.
