Like the previous film, Dungeons amp Dragons Wrath of the Dragon God, it was directed by Gerry Lively. Shot in Bulgaria in 2011, it was DirecttoDVD released in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2012.
Within the fictional world of the game series, the magic item known as the Book of Vile Darkness is a supernatural book that serves as a reference guide to evil and granting experience points and a bonus to the wisdom attribute of evil spellcasters, while harming or corrupting those of other alignments. Although listed as a magical item in 1st edition and 2nd edition, the history of this tome and its copies is first detailed in the supplemental source book that shares its name Book of Vile Darkness. The Book of Vile Darkness was included in the Dungeon Masters Guide for the 3.5 revision, where a copy is considered a minor artifact. The supplement was later rereleased to fit DampD 4th Edition.
