The Ancient hymnal is a reward from The Temple at Senntisten. It is given to players by Azzanadra. Once a player reads the book, they are given access to the Ancient Curses by praying at the Altar of Zaros. The book describes all the new prayers (i.e., the curses) and their functions. The non-English form of the curses are in the Infernal tongue, which is exactly the same as Latin. If the player has lost it or destroyed it, they can get another one by talking to Azzanadra under the Varrock Dig Site.
After the quest, this book can be found in the bookcase of a player-owned house.
After completion of the Elite Falador achievements, the hymnal may be used to change the altar on the 2nd floor[UK]3rd floor[US] of the White Knights' Castle into a Zarosian altar. Changing the altar requires a player to simply use the Ancient hymnal on the backside of the altar. Once the ritual is complete the altar offers the ability to switch to Curses. The room has to be cleared of White Knights before starting the ritual or else the player will get the message "It'd be better not to do that whilst there are White Knights around!"

Transcript[edit | edit source]
Gathered here are the chants and curses of the Mahjarrat ancestors. Within these pages they lie translated to the human tongue, in the knowledge that soon Zaros will rule over all races, no matter how weak they be.
It is right, then, that all should use the words herein to give praise to Zaros in worship and in battle.
To this end Zaros has attuned his temple at Senntisten, so that by praying at his altar in that wonderous place these curses will fill the minds of his followers, and his power be bestowed unto them.
Oh, what wonderous god and sacred place is this? This altar that nourishes the spirit far beyond the altars of the many false gods!
And finally, a warning, for the weak-willed halfwit humans are known for their treachery. Zaros grants you the freedom to use the altars of others to replenish yourself, but should you turn your back on these glorious curses that Zaros has gifted you, you must return to Senntisten, and prostrate yourself before Zaros' majesty before he will allow you to use these curses once more.
