An oversized codex
Minor arcanum #15
A book, about 2 feet by 3 feet, just over 6 inches tall when closed. The cover is made of silvery cedarwood planks. The sheets are made of fine vellum, stretched from the hides of some enormous beast.
The pages are full of calligraphy, large and precise, with many diagrams showing meditative poses and strange geometric patterns related to heat, water, and ice.
To unlock the codex’s mysteries, you must…
Requirements
- ☐ …decipher the text, written in a form of the Rime Lord’s alphabet.
- ☐ …spend months studying the text and practicing the techniques therein.
- ☐ …risk permanently damaging your health as you master them.
The rest is discovered in play. Every arcanum has a hidden back — what it becomes, what it wants, what it costs. That’s for your table to find out, so it isn’t published here.
