Baldur's Gate 3: The Necromancy of Thay

Unlock the Necromancy of Thay! Inspired by the hit Dungeons & Dragons video game Baldur’s Gate 3, this officially licensed gridded notebook brings the infamous tome from the screen to your hands.

As seen in Baldur’s Gate 3, the secrets of life death are held within a macabre volume: the Necromancy of Thay. A faithful recreation of the unforgettable artifact, this blank notebook brings a piece of the Forgotten Realms to your tabletop or bookshelf. Use its gridded pages (approx. 1/4") to sketch characters, brainstorm campaigns, or channel your inner Red Wizard and commit arcane knowledge to paper.

This reproduction of the Necromancy of Thay comes to vibrant, sinister life with deluxe features including an embossed skull set among a cover of dark, shimmering amethysts and imitation clasps to protect the book’s unholy content from prying eyes.

Unlike its in-game counterpart, this notebook doesn’t grant you the ability to cast “Speak with Dead.” However, it does make for a perfect gift to bestow upon any D&D player in your life or an impressive addition to your own collection!
