The Codex Etherium, also called the Filigree Texts[1][2] or the Etherium Texts[3], are a series of texts that contain all the information about Esper that the vedalken find significant.[4]
Description
Originally contained in twenty-three grimoires with the information woven into an obtuse kind of long-form poem, the vedalken augurs decided the tomes were sacred enough to be committed to etherium several decades before 4556 AR. Now each of the twenty-three codices consists of delicate, priceless etherium metal pages, with the text spelled out in the negative space between the filigree. They are housed in the Sanctum Arcanum under the possession of the Seekers of Carmot.[5]
They are said to contain all Esper knowledge, including the location of carmot, a substance crucial to the creation of new etherium. Sharuum, the Hegemon of Esper, has even quoted the Codex, in one case claiming they state "There are patterns on the breath of stars."[3] However, Tezzeret discovered that the codices were blank, and that the documents were a fraud, igniting his planeswalker spark in the process.[5]
