Some of them bind certain magics and abilities to the world, if they were to be removed or destroyed they could cause instability and devastation.\ A codex grants its owner remarkable powers beyond the scope of even most artifacts. Many were created around during the first three eras, Wonder, Darkness, and Gold. Some of them bind certain magics and abilities to the world, if they were to be removed or destroyed they could cause instability and devastation.\
 The codices are spread far and wide across the world. Often guarded by powerful indivduals, giant monstrosities, or by a nation's armies. They could also be lost under rubble or in an old library forgotten to time. The codices are spread far and wide across the world.

 Sacrificing requires rolling some number of Hit Dice, losing that many hit points and the Hit Dice immediately, and reducing your maximum hit points by the same amount.

Though the identity of the author of the Book of Storms remains a mystery. Three centuries later, a tome emerged written in the runic language of the Promised.
