  • The Plane Truth
    From the Notebooks of Fallendor the Mage: I t has happened again. No peace this night or for a fortnight past. I have been cursed, robbed of my rest by a maddening vision the Codex of infinite Planes! It has been lost since before my time, the time of my father the time of all my known ancestors. Yet every night in my dreams, I see the cursed book. It hovers beyond the veil of reality, a dream that has more substance than reality. I try to touch the pages, but every motion forward propels the book away. Frustration fills me and I begin to run. Every night I run faster toward it, but every night I am no nearer to my goal. In the morning, I awaken with new visions filling my mind. I began recording these visions in my notebook as I remember them. They are not the random scenes of dreams but messages, encrypted in a code of images. I am certain they are passages from the Codex of Infinite Planes. I have a theory about the Codex. I do not think it exists yet, at least not as a material thing. It exists only in the world of sleep. There it reveals itself, a page each night, and every morning I dutifully transcribe its pages into the world of flesh. I am no more than another of the great books scribes, like the Archmage Tzunk before me. At first the passages seemed random and meaningless, but now I sense a pattern. The Codexs magic is the magic of words.
