Dark Prognosticus

The Dark Prognosticus is a book of prophecies in Super Paper Mario. At the beginning of this powerful object is a warning text: anyone who has possessed the book has never found happiness. Count Bleck, the final owner, wants to use this book in hopes of "destroying all worlds".

Over the years, many have fought over it. Entire countries have fallen. Ironically, the fall of these countries were already predicted in the book itself. The reason it is forbidden to speak about the Tribe of Darkness is because they stole this book from the Ancients.

Somewhere in the Dark Prognosticus, it states that, "the man in red shall weild formidable powers, one shall stand against him. The man in green shall use the Chaos Heart's power to bring darkness to all."

After the events of Super Paper Mario, the Dark Prognosticus "faded back into history".

The Light Prognosticus was created to counter this book.
