Find the Lost Book of Khel is a quest in Might and Magic VIII: Day of the Destroyer. It must be completed to promote Necromancers in the party to liches.
Vetrinus Taleshire was eager to get his hands on the Lost Book of Kehl, as he believed that the secrets in the tome could enhance his skills "beyond that of even Sandro". He asked the Hero of Jadame to retrieve the tome in exchange for him performing the lich transformation for them. He added that each hopeful lich would need his or her own lich jar.

Walkthrough[]
Vetrinus Taleshire can be found in his home in Twilight in Shadowspire, across from the inn. The book can be found in the Uplifted library in the Dagger Wound Islands, near the volcano. Lich jars can be found in the Mad Necromancer's Lab, due north of Twilight, in northwestern Shadowspire.
1. The Uplifted Library: To reach the library, the party will need to fly, levitate, or water walk. Take the elevator to the fourth floor, climb the ladder, and press a button for a secret elevator to appear. The elevator will take the party to the attic, where the book can be found in a trapped chest. There is also a random artifact here.
2. The Mad Necromancer's Lab: Lich jars can be found in two side-by-side trapped chests in the maze of the lower level. It can be accessed through the laboratory area to the left of the entrance or by jumping down the well in the entry area. The same set of chests also hold the spear Ebonest for the quest Find Blazen Stormlance and recover the spear Ebonest and the box for the Find Iseldir's Puzzle Box quest.
With both the book and one jar in hand for each necromancer, return to Vetrinus in Twilight, who will reward the party and promote the Necromancers currently in the party to lich. If the party needs to promote Necromancers after this, they must go to Lathean in the same town.
