The Glasswright Codex: A Field Guide to Aerthys

The Glasswright Codex
Aerthys is a world lit from within. Its mages, the Glasswrights, shape living glass that bends and stores light the way our world stores heat. A single page from their codex follows, the kind a travelling scholar would carry to name what they met on the road and survive it.

"Glass forgets nothing. Cut it and it keeps the shape of the blade. Be careful what light you let it learn.

A scholar's warning. Never thank a Glasswright for their light. To name the gift is to owe it, and the living panes keep a longer memory of debts than any ledger.
