The Codex Mors is the primary holy text of the cult of Lysanthir Lugolor, the Atarlie God of Death. The work is a divinely-dictated treatise on the nature of death, providing prescriptions for pre- and post-mortem prepratory rites, the formulae for funerary rites, and other bits of trivia. Uncommonly for the holy works of evil gods, the Codex is heavily reproduced and widly available. A great many elder elves, sensing their oncoming deaths in their bones, obtain copies and study them for the philosophical commentary on the nature of a "good death" and to steel themselves against the fear of the oncoming grave, knowing they too will one day have to explain themselves before the Judge of the Ultimate.
