Codex of Aghairon Whitecloak

Never before seen outside of Halruaa, the Codex was a gift to the magocracy of Halruaa during the days of Aghairon Whitecloak, the archmage of Waterdeep and first Open Lord of that city. When he visited the far southern nation on something of a pilgrimage, he presented this spellbook to their ruling council in thanks for their hospitality. It has languished in the vaults of the Halruaan magocracy, until it was presented to a few of Khelben's apprentices as thanks for their assistance to the people of Halruaa.

The Codex itself is quarto-sized and bound in an ivory-hued leather and tooled with silver markings along its edges. Its sole title is an imprint of Aghairon's mage symbol, wrought in silver and riveted to the cover. The symbol is treated with dwarven blueshine and always gleams like a mirror. The book itself seals with a permanent arcane lock, opened by the speaking of the word daethimaer. Its pages are fine whitened parchment.

Contents

The Codex holds only spells, and only a handful of each. They are written so that they take up the maximum number of pages, relying on no shorthand. This allowed Aghairon to fully expound on the formulae he was presenting, leaving nothing to assumption about what traits were shared in magical theory between Halruaan magic and that of the North.
