NecronomiconEx-Mortis (also referred to as "Naturom Demonto" and "Book of The Dead") is an ancient tome of prophecies, funerary incantations, and demon resurrection passages compiled by a race of beings known as The Dark Ones. While initially designed to serve as a compendium for all things supernatural for The Dark Ones only, the book eventually "escaped" into the hands of humanity, where it has been passed from owner to owner since.

As the book is an object that exists in numerous alternate realities, its origin often varies from universe to universe. The most common origin of the Necronomicon is related to a race of ancient beings known as The Dark Ones, who in many worlds crafted the book at the dawn of humanity in the region of the globe now known as the Middle East.[1] Some accounts have specified the region of it's creation as the country of Egypt,[2][3] while others have speculated it was written in Sumer, a civilization located in southern Mesopotamia between 3100 and 2500 BCE.[4] Other sources have stated that the book was created in an alternate dimension entirely, presumably Hell itself.[5] In the "prime" universe, a Dark One known as Ruby was the lone author of the book,[6] while other accounts have depicted it's creation as a collaborative effort.[2][7]

In one world, The Dark Ones skinned the head of a powerful demon to create the book's ghoulish binding, and then proceeded to curse the fiend by transforming it into the first Deadite.[8] In another reality, Ash Williams disrupted the ceremony in which The Dark Ones were preparing to complete the book, and nearly had his own face used for the tome's cover.[9]

Another alternate timeline depicted the book as the creation of Urigan, a high priest in the ancient Mesopotamian city of Kandar circa 3000 BC. Urigan believed the forces of evil to be the avatars of the goddess Ereshkigal, and was instructed by the Kandarian Demon itself and a creature named Beletseri to create the Necronomicon.[10]

One universe depicted the book as being the creation of a human named Abdul Alzeez, who had discovered a series of texts left behind by The Dark Ones prior to their banishment from this plane of existence. Alzeez translated these works and compiled them into the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis in 730 AD, though he was killed by a wild demonic entity shortly after it's completion.[11]

Regardless of it's scribe, the Ex-Mortis more or less contains the same contents across all it's iterations, including (but not limited to) prophecies, funerary incantations, and demon resurrection passages.

Duplicates of the book have also been created either by the Dark Ones themselves or by others who have found the original. The number of copies varies from universe to universe, though most seem to have at least three copies at the minimum.

Little to no information is available on the whereabouts of the Necronomicon between it's creation and 1300 AD, though one reality claimed the book was briefly in the possession of the local mystic of the Sumerian city of Akhsa "decades" before 4000 BC.[12] The mystic used the Ex-Mortis to summon a demon known as Dagen, who promised prosperity and good fortune to the city in exchange for a human sacrifice to be given to him annually.

Historians have also found evidence of the book being used in war and fertility rituals orchestrated by followers of The Dark Ones located in Europe and Asia, though a specific time-frame for such practices are unknown.[12]

The earliest well-documented period of the book's history was in the 14th Century, where it (along with two "fake" copies) were placed upon an alter inside a graveyard in England. A time-displaced Ash Williams journeyed to the cemetery and retrieved the book with the intention of using it to immediately return to his proper time, but his failure to recite an incantation before removing the Ex-Mortis from the alter resulted in the creation of an army of the dead led by his evil doppelganger. Williams, along with the combined armies of Lord Arthur and Henry The Red, defeated the legion of Deadites in an epic battle within the confines of Castle Kandar. Following humanity's victory over the undead, Ash returned to his time and left the book with Lord Arthur's Wise Man.[13]

Details of the Necronomicon's history over the course of the following seven centuries become scarce after Ash's departure, though at some point for reasons unknown, several pages of the Ex-Mortis were removed from the book's binding and hidden inside a deep pit located underneath Castle Kandar's courtyard.[1][4] At another unspecified point, the book had been left behind in the castle after it's occupants had migrated to much larger communities elsewhere.

In 1982,[14] Professor Raymond Knowby would discover the Necronomicon laying upon a stone podium beneath a fine sheet of cobwebs and dust that had been accumulated over almost 700 years inside Castle Kandar's ruins. While Raymond and his wife Henrietta would return to the United States with the book and the strange dagger found beside it, their daughter Annie would remain at the castle to continue her work at the site.[1]

Upon their return to the states, Raymond and Henrietta retreated to a small cabin in the forests of Michigan to begin studying and translating their find in solitude. Raymond's analysis of the book consisted of detailed hand-written notes, as well as a series of dictated log entries recorded on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. During a session in which Raymond was reading aloud a translated incantation from the book, the passage awakened a long dormant evil spirit residing within the surrounding woods.[15]

One week later, a group of five friends would venture to the Knowby's cabin for a weekend retreat, as they were under the assumption that the property had been abandoned for quite some time. Early into the first night of their stay, two of the party's members, Ash Williams (who had yet to see the book at this point in his own personal timeline) and his friend Scotty would discover the Necronomicon placed beside Raymond Knowby's personal belongings in the cabin's fruit cellar. Curious of the contents of the tape recorder and the strange book, the duo gathered the objects and returned to the den of the cabin upstairs, playing a selection of Professor Knowby's log entries and translations for their friends. The same incantation which had doomed Raymond and Henrietta a week prior was replayed, and the demonic spirit awakened once more to terrorize and claim the souls of the would-be vacationers. Over the course of the evening, four members of the party fell victim to the demon's onslaught and became Deadites, leaving only Ash Williams unscathed. In the moments before seemingly meeting his own demise at the hands of his former friends, Williams made a desperate play and tossed the Necronomicon into the burning hearth of the cabin's fireplace. The book itself let out a horrific scream of agony as flames danced across it's ghoulish binding, and the Deadites encompassing Ash began to melt.[15]

Though Williams had thought his ordeal with the Kandarian Demon was over, he soon discovered he was trapped at the cabin for another night. In the period between the dawn and dusk of the second day, the Necronomicon continued to burn into nothingness in the fireplace, destroying what might have been the key to his salvation and stopping the demon's rampage for good. Unbeknownst to Ash, Annie Knowby had returned from Castle Kandar that evening with the "lost pages" of the Book of The Dead she had found in another part of the castle, and was en route to reunite with her parents at the cabin. Shortly after her arrival, Annie learned of her father's fatal mistake of awakening the Kandarian Demon, and realized that the monster could be stopped using the lost pages of the Ex-Mortis she had brought with her. With her dying breath, Annie opened a rift in time with an incantation found on one of the pages, sending the demon (and Ash) back to 1300 AD.[1]

It is following the incident at the cabin that the Necronomicon's history becomes blurred, as many alternate realities depict radically different events pertaining to the book. For example: on Earth-818793, the Ex-Mortis was spared of it's fiery destruction in the fireplace and recovered by the Ash Williams of that reality.[3] In another, Annie Knowby used the book to escape Hell and combat the forces of evil which she had inadvertently unleashed on the world of the living.[16]

Perhaps the most well-known further exploits regarding the Ex-Mortis occurred in the "prime" universe, where Ash Williams had acquired another copy some time after his return from 1300 AD.[17] Through a series of bloody events, the book would fall in and out of the possession of Ruby,[18] [19]though eventually The Dark Ones themselves would escape their otherworldly prison and acquire the Necronomicon to unleash an apocalypse on the Earth.[20][21]

Recitation of this passage unleashed the Kandarian Demon upon the world of the living, normally close to the location where the passage was read. This was the passage read aloud and recorded on a reel-to-reel tape recorder by Professor Raymond Knowby while at his cabin.[15][1]

Another passage in the book allowed the reader to open a rift in time and space. Some accounts suggest that the reader's desired destination could be chosen by simply thinking about the destination while reading the spell, while others claim that the book itself chooses the destination. Annie Knowby read this passage in an attempt to put an end to the Kandarian Demon's assault on her family's property.[1]

Through means unknown, The Dark Ones received visions of the future (or futures that could be). These visions were written down in the Necronomicon, some including detailed drawings (such as the "Hero From The Sky" prophecy).[1]

Even without the Kandarian Demon, the Necronomicon had the power to revive the dead as both Deadites and their former human selves. The grandest demonstration of this ability came from the copy of the Ex-Mortis of Earth-2149, which raised a massive legion of Deadites to battle the undead super-humans closing in on it's location.[23] The inverse of this power, the ability to resurrect an individual back to a normal human form, occurred on Earth-818793, where it revived the fallen brother of Sheila.[24]
