Book of Vile Darkness
Publisher: Wizards of the Coast
Introduction: Book of Vile Darkness is a sourcebook of evil. It contains a large amount of new game material—all of it vile, loathsome, dark, and despicable. Although evil monsters, spells, and magic items have appeared in previous products, this compendium is a collection of the most vile, hideous, and disgusting aspects of evil that might appear in a game. Its pages contain references to acts of horrible depravity and malevolent behavior unlike anything you have probably encountered before in the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game. Let this be a warning: Book of Vile Darkness is intended for mature audiences. The topics covered herein are not for the immature, squeamish, or faint of heart. This book deals with fictional gore, extreme violence, human sacrifice, addiction, corrupt magic, and deviant behavior. Its content is not a lighthearted take on “badness”—it is about evil, pure and simple.

You’ll see firsthand why only the most ruthless devils survive the cutthroat politics of the infernal reaches.
Book of Exalted Deeds
Publisher: Wizards of the Coast
Introduction: There is an obvious parallel between this book and its predecessor, the Book of Vile Darkness. Both are named after minor artifacts detailed in the Dungeon Master’s Guide, artifacts that define the sharp polarity between the most abhorrent pits of evil and the highest peaks of righteousness. While the Book of Vile Darkness concerns itself with all things evil, dealing with the most reprehensible subjects ever covered in the DUNGEONS & DRAGONS game, this book tackles the opposite subject. The two books share a similar outline, and there are several other parallels in content as well, but their essential function is quite different. The Book of Vile Darkness gives Dungeon Masters the tools they need to bring the villains and monsters of their campaigns to new lows of depravity and evil. Armed with the Book of Exalted Deeds, players can now bring their characters, the heroes of the campaign, to great new heights of valor and righteousness. In contrast to thoroughly vile villains, heroes are called upon to perform truly exalted deeds.
