for the Ogres that live there to get the vortex Cube.
The mage that lives across the river near Lycaeum will be able to make
you a concave vortex lens if you can give him a glass sword. Glass swords
can be found on Phoenix in the sewers.
You will not be able to enter the temple of the Codex unless you are
on a quest. THere is only one way to be put on a quest and that is to
visit the Shrine of Singularity (in the gargoyle world). To visit the
Shrine of Singularity you will need a balloon. Plans for making a balloon
can be found on a dead body in the dungeon under Sutek's. Once you have the
balloon plans you will need to visit:
Minoc to have the basket woven (300gp),
Paws to buy rope (5gp)
to have silk thread spun (have lots of spider silk for this) (10gp)
New Magincia to have the thread woven into cloth (20gp)
Paws to have the cloth sewn into a large bag (75gp)
You also need a cauldron (dungeon wrong is a good source for this) and an
anchor.
USE the balloon plans to make a balloon. Have one of your strong characters
carry the balloon. Use a moongate to get to the gargoyle altar (see moon-
gate chart above). Go north and a little to the right, drop the balloon and
then use it. Use the FAN to change the wind to S so that you may travel
north. Once past the mountains, land and enter the Shrine of Singularity.
TALK to the altar. When asked what you want, answer "quest". You will
be asked for whom you seek this quest of the Codex, answer "all". The
shrine will tell you to visit the shrines representing the gargoyle virtues
Control, Passion & Diligence. Each of these shrines contains a statue with
which you must talk to learn the mantra of that virtue. The three virtues
combined equal the mantra for the Singularity. Use the balloon to return south
of the mountains, back to near the gargoyle altar.
The entrances to the shrines of Control, Passion and Diligence are
