The legend of the Iron Codex is told only when the winter is coldest, and snow has covered all the roads of the land. A book of steel pages and wrought-iron bindings, the Iron Codex is said to destroy any who dare to read from its cursed pages. It is said to have the power to summon strange magic, and that if disturbed from its sacred resting place, its power could destroy the world. But, it's only a legend. Within the city where you now reside, an earthquake has struck and a deep crevice has split the city in two. Shortly afterward, a fine ash began to issue forth from the crevice, falling upon the city and causing a sickness to strike the citizenry. Day and night the ash has fallen, and many have succumbed to the plague. You, along with several like-minded individuals, have answered the governor's call for any who would be skilled and brave enough to delve into the fissure, find the source of the cursed ash, and put an end to the plague. It is deep beneath the city that you find the impossible. Hundreds of feet down in a canyon that did not exist until a few days ago, you find a pair of great iron doors, once sealed with molten silver, built into the side of the granite wall. The earth has shifted away, and the earthquake has unsealed the doors, disturbing whatever lies within. The thick fog of ash seeps out from the tomb, seeming to whisper and claw at you as you peer into an unfathomable darkness. Carved into the iron of the massive portal gates are the words: "Behold the Temple of the Iron Codex" ...
