Codex
The antiquarian monks of the Merugian Order, long since vanished from Newerth, are known for the illuminated manuscripts hidden in their far-flung monasteries. Filled with the uncovered secrets of the Ancients, a Merugian Codex can help one gain a better understanding of the world, so much so that he grows in all abilities and even combat prowess. Moreover, the books contain devastating sorceries derived from Ancient technology.
