The Silver Codex
Amidst the myriad and mass of scripture, tradition and folklore of the Argent Church, the Silver Codex stands above all. It is said to be dying words of Tahl, father of all. These words were heard only by Jalis, his eldest son, The Judge. The words themselves only he knows, but from these he made the laws which all creation must adhere, gods and men alike.
Purpose
To guide gods and men.
