Baronet Milo d’Aremil trusted no one, and with good reason. Some five centuries ago, Baronet Milo was a very minor noble in a court filled with whispering, backbiting, betrayal and constant games of brinkmanship. Though many of his superiors feel victim to the machinations of their fellows, ending their lives in poverty and disgrace, Baronet Milo endured, even prospered in this poisonous environment. The secret of his success was very simple; he was an astute student of human (and humanoid) nature, able to discern the hidden meaning behind otherwise flowery words, the tension of the muscles indicating which way a duelist would feint and which way he would truly strike. Toward the end of his long and fascinating life, Baronet Milo wrote a concise but comprehensive book, putting his hard-won knowledge of how to determine the true meaning of someone’s words or actions down on paper. Anyone who studies Unspoken Words may use the information in the book to train his Sense Motive skill up to eight ranks. The book does not grant the reader any skill points, he must spend his own points if he wishes to increase his skill, but it does effectively take the place of a trainer.
