Mo Darkness was a wizard given the unenviable job of writing a comprehensive guide to all the minions and enemies in the Overlord's empire. He was given a year and a day to produce a compendium which was "comprehensive, accurate, and doesn't make anyone important look bad." Faced with an impossible task, Mo spent a year drinking heavily before staying up all night on the last day to write it in one go. Fortunately, the Overlord was pushed into a volcano before he read Mo's manuscript.
The Book may not be as accurate as one might want, but anyone wishing to do a better job is welcome to spend a year in the towers of Mount Krullmore smelling the sulfurous emissions and thinking of something better to say.
Mo's work, wildly apocryphal though it may be, is nonetheless the best "who's who" of the Overlord's empire and the Dukes have strongly encouraged him to publish his work. (That is, they threatened him with dark sorcerous violence if he didn't.)
