The Malleus Mundi (Latin, "Hammer of the World") is an Akkadian text. The tome was rumored to belong to various occult teachers and mystics throughout the centuries, but the last individual owner of the Malleus Mundi was thought to have been none other than Baron Zoria's supposed mentor, the infamous Russian mystic Rasputin (there remains a question as to if the two actually ever met). It has also been reported that Zoria separately discovered of the existence of the tome through the ruins of an ancient Knights Templar temple somewhere in Europe.
Ultimately, an attempt was made in World War II by the German military's Spezialwaffen Kommandotruppen, composed of members of the Thule Society. The archive, however, was moved by Soviet authorities to Siberia. Eventually it would return to its normal location, the Lubyanka museum in Moscow.
However, in August 2004, the authorities declared the book missing, possibly stolen. A few weeks later, the forces of Rularuu attack Paragon City; the use of the Malleus Mundi is suspected, though this could not be confirmed. As of current, the tome's location is unknown, and possibly even destroyed, considering the increasing number of pages from the book which are being found throughout Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
