"Codex: a desperate caveful of mute exiles, and an inexplicable colony of shivering, bad-tempered monkeys."[1]
"An isle of answers."[2]
Codex is an island to the north of the Unterzee located east of Whither. It is a sullen place home to a group of Mute Exiles,[3] many of whom are ex-Whithern that dared to answer instead of ask.[4][5] Some Exiles have a particular question they have been trying to answer their whole life; should they find their answer, they may start speaking again.[6]
There is a small population of monkeys here who maintain a mysterious shrine. They are in possession of several scientific log-books, including one that documents the Correspondence sigils marking the landscape of Codex.[7][8] In fact, sigils can be found within the terrain of Codex as well, etched into the island's stones like fossils.[9]
