The Codex of the Currents
What is the Codex of Currents?
It is the public declaration and principles of the Windcallers. It contains all their beliefs, that they exist to protect the valturo and their knowledge shouldn’t be used for power or its own sake, but to share it among the valturo.
Excerpt from the Codex of Currents:
“Wings alone are not enough. The wind is not kind, and the sky does not forgive. We read the winds and the sky not to control them, but to carry others through them. Each warning is a mercy. Each storm is a test. We are the voice before the thunder.”
Guiding principles from the Codex of Currents
The Sky Remembers: Every storm leaves a trace, every wind carries memory. Forgetfulness is the first step to falling. Historical awareness is paramount. Patterns in weather are sacred signs.
Vigil Is Protection: To watch is not idleness. To warn is to save. We watch so others may soar. We are duty-bound to observe and protect rather than lead or rule.
Never Fly Blindly: To fly without knowing the winds is to tempt the void. Wisdom must come before wings, and we must learn from our mistakes.
Speak Before the Storm: Warnings are not always welcomed, but silence is betrayal. Sometimes caution is unwelcome, but a Windcaller must speak the truth.
Currents Carry All: No wing beats alone. We rise or fall together. Even if we are alone, we are bound to our family, our nest, our community.
The Sky Is Law: The heavens bend to no desire. We do not control, we listen, we serve, we are humbled.
Protect the Nest with Knowledge: When the young know the signs, the future is unbroken. Training young valturo is far-reaching, so their flight will be both free and free of danger.
The codex should be the guiding principle for every forecaster, not just the Windcallers
