The mortal parent gives it form butdenies the child the divine parent acceptsthe child but refuses it form. This seems likethe sting of an ungrateful child, but thealeax has no choice. Perhaps wanting to cling to itsborrowed memories, the aleax seeks outand kills its mortal father. With each day, its mem-ories are new the smile of a grandchild,the taste of sweat, the cold slash of winterwind, and the shrill of the teakettle in themorning. Its face is the face ofone who rejects it. Then the aleax wakes eachmorning in a new land, its hands and feetclumsy strangers. The creature becomeswhole only by an act of mortal denial tothe gods.

It isthe place through which all things pass.For now, my image of it is only fragmen-tary. This city exists, I know, atthe very center of the Outer Planes. If there is a link in all the messages Irecord, it is a city called Sigil, the Heartand the Cage. Perhaps ifsomeone could find all the fragmentsrecorded by the book�s scribes, the Codexwould become real in this world. When the image iscomplete, the traveler arrives. I am no morethan another of the great books scribes, likethe Archmage Tzunk before me.Īt first the passages seemed random andmeaningless, but now I sense a pattern.The Codex�s magic is the magic of words.As the dreamer reads the entries in thebook, he creates the destination where theCodex will send him. It exists only in the world of sleep.There it reveals itself, a page each night, andevery morning I dutifully transcribe itspages into the world of flesh. I do notthink it exists yet, at least not as a materialthing.
Iam certain they are passages from theCodex of Infinite Planes.

They arenot the random scenes of dreams butmessages, encrypted in a code of images. I began recording these visions in mynotebook as I remember them. Every night I run faster toward it,but every night I am no nearer to my goal.In the morning, I awaken with new visionsfilling my mind.
