Bound with a tanned and dried skin of uncertain origin, this is looped with thick, sinewy cords that hold its binding in place. Dark crimson-colored runes densely flow across its surface, raised slightly, as if the patterns were first scarred onto the codex's skin before the sanguine writing was further tattooed on. The codex's pages are thick with a tough, deckled edge that are also touched with a deep, void black ink.
