Ok, I was going to scan this because of the beautiful caligraphy and map of the Realm, but since there are tons of stuff piled on top of my scanner and I am feeling lazy, I will type out the codex and scan the map later. If I screw anything up in the retelling here, then Surt and Kurn will just have to come back to vegas and beat me with foam weapons. Here goes.

Kurn will be sending me color pic's of the Realm, plus individual regions within the realm including the city of Barad'Dun itself.

When they arrive I will post them as well.

Also Alacian has been working on a Website and new forum that has been approved by both Kurn and Surt so should be up and running soon as it is finalized.
