||[ ABOUT ]||
Founded by Marak Vyzal and Osira, The Codex serves as a sanctuary for scholars, truth-seekers, and those who deal in whispered secrets. More than a simple archive, it is a bastion of free thought and hidden knowledge, offering a discreet refuge for information brokers, whistleblowers, and inquisitive minds alike. Within its guarded walls, ancient tomes, classified records, and forbidden knowledge are preserved and studied, all under the vigilant watch of its founders. The Codex stands as a testament to the belief that knowledge, no matter how dangerous or illuminating, must never be silenced.
||[ GOAL ]||
The Codex is founded on two unwavering principles: first, to make all forms of knowledge freely accessible to every individual, regardless of class, creed, or origin; and second, to safeguard all information from those who would seek to suppress, distort, or destroy it. It is a place where the pursuit of truth transcends social barriers, and where the preservation of history and discovery stands above the tides of politics and power. Within The Codex, knowledge is not only shared—it is fiercely protected, ensuring that no truth is ever lost to time or tyranny.
||[ VALUES ]||
The Codex upholds principles of neutrality, integrity, and discretion. Every member is expected to honor the truth above personal gain, protect the confidentiality of sensitive information, and maintain respect for all who seek knowledge within our walls.
||[ SYMBOLS & MEANING ]||
The Codex's emblematic colours—Purple, Black, and Gold—reflect its core ideals. Purple stands for wisdom, mystery, and arcane mastery; Black represents secrecy, vigilance, and the safeguarding of sensitive knowledge; and Gold embodies enlightenment, truth, and the invaluable worth of learning.
Its symbols are twofold:
The welcoming face of The Codex, Clerks are responsible for the day-to-day upkeep of the archives and storefront, assisting knowledge-seekers in finding materials, processing written submissions, and ensuring the smooth exchange of information. Their dedication to service makes them the first point of contact for visitors, and a vital part of maintaining the Codex's reputation as a trustworthy and approachable resource.
||[ ARCHIVISTS ]||
Archivists serve as the living record-keepers of The Codex, tasked with taking official statements, testimonies, and first-hand accounts from individuals wishing to preserve their stories or report events. They are trained in discretion, accuracy, and the delicate art of questioning, ensuring every record is as truthful and detailed as possible for future generations to study.
||[ FIELD AGENTS ]||
Field Agents are the eyes and ears of The Codex beyond its walls, venturing into the world to document events as they unfold. From political unrest to cultural celebrations, these agents bring raw, unfiltered knowledge back to the archives. Their work is often fast-paced and unpredictable, suited to the bold and the curious who thrive on the frontier of history.
||[ LECTURER ]||
The intellectual lifeblood of The Codex, Lecturers host public seminars and discussions on a wide range of topics, from ancient history to modern alchemy. They are encouraged to challenge assumptions, inspire curiosity, and foster a culture of learning and debate within the city. Every lecture enriches the community and brings new insight to the forefront.

- The Ever-Watching Eye: A sentinel of truth and guardian against deception, this emblem reminds all who enter that no secret escapes scrutiny, and every piece of knowledge is seen and remembered.
- The Crossed Quills: Representing the quiet but potent power of the written word, the quills signify recording, preservation, and the eternal transmission of knowledge through time and generations.
