The Krivbeknih

The Krivbeknih is a strange artifact in the Fallout 3 add-on Point Lookout.

Background
Said to possess a dark power, the Krivbeknih was mentioned to have been owned long ago by Constance Blackhall until it went missing. The swampfolk now possess it, and use it in their rituals. This book is the one that Jaime Palabras' father was searching for, as mentioned in the personal journal holotapes found throughout the Dunwich Building.

Gameplay
The Krivbeknih is a large brown book with a bloody gash across the front of it. Due to its disturbing nature, Marcella wants the book destroyed, but Obadiah Blackhall wants the book returned to him, as the rightful owner. It seems that the book really possesses dark and mystical otherworldly powers as a strange event unravels when pressed against the Obelisk in the Dunwich Building. Furthermore, upon taking the Krivbeknih from the ritual site, objects on the table behind it will start to shake and fall off the table.

Location
The Krivbeknih is found in the deepest level of the ritual site, in a bowl full of blood on a stone altar.

Behind the scenes
The Dunwich Building, where Marcella instructs the player character to destroy the book, is a reference to Lovecraft's short story "The Dunwich Horror" and an audio tape recovered in the building contains a reference to "Alhazred", the fictional author of "Necronomicon".
