("Against my better judgment, I opened the
: Codex last night to a random page andread about the
: life of a man not yet born, who would resurrect the
: Myrkridia and visit horrors on the world without equal
: in history or myth."). I'm assuming after the war
: with Soulblighter, Alric still had the Codex (would
: you give up something that valuable?), so what's
: stoping him from going into the Codex and looking up
: the entry on Mydred and reading something to the
: effect of "faked death so he could be next
: Leveller"? That said, he could look at his own
: entry and maybe see "became next Leveller after
: Balor" and figure out a way to stop the
: transistion. It's not like he would suffer much
: because the cycle might already be thrown out of
: whack. Besides, hes a hero, and I thought those guys
: did things for the greater good of man. Kill himself
: for the greater good of society.
I don't think the Total Codex works like a regular book or Encyclopdeia as you're putting it. You can't just look up the name of anyone and see their fate. I think the book tells you what it wants to tell you. The guy in the story just opened to a random page and read about The Summoner ressurecting the Myrkridia. What are the odds of that if the book contained the fate of EVERYTHING. In my opinion, you'd need a pretty damn big book to contain the info on everyone and everything and what will happen to them. As mentioned before, the Codex probably just tells you what it wants to or maybe what you want or don't want to hear. How the Codex works is another completely unsolved Mystery of the story.
