Codex text
The pages of this book—memory?—show a narrow plateau on top of a mountain, Two armored figures—one in gold, one in black—are fighting in the snow. Steel flickers so fast the air hums. Blood dots the ground. They do not stop for breath. The one in black makes no sound as a blade parts his throat.
"Mythal, in her wisdom, interceded in an argument between Elgar'nan and Falon'Din. With clever words, she convinced them to settle their grievance through a battle of their champions. Elgar'nan and Falon'Din agreed, and set their champions against each other rather than declare war among the gods. May those knights long be remembered, and Mythal's wisdom be praised."

Trivia
- In later legends Elgar'nan was the Eldest of the Sun and the wielder of burning light. Falon'Din was the god of death, he who had no fear of night. Therefore, the knight in gold was likely Elgar'nan's champion, while the knight in black fought for Falon'Din.
