Ujuura's Codex

Consigned to the Sealed Archives of Vikinduni's Grand Library, the iron tome of Ujuura's Codex lays in a specialized vault, far from the prying eyes of the world. Forged by renowned magus, Wordsmith Ujuura, a single page of the Codex is, reportedly, nearly two feet tall and easily a dozen pounds. Astale scholars have theorized for decades as to how exactly Ujuura managed to craft his iron pages, but no theories have yet been widely accepted.
The problem lies in how to reach the pages, however. Ujuura's Codex is a massive puzzle box of a book, containing an indeterminate number of puzzling contraptions that seal away each chapter of the tome. Each chapter itself is written in coded language, often mingling languages and alphabets mid-sentence or even mid-word. As such, attempts to decipher the codex have gone almost wholly fruitless since its discovery two thousand years ago. Bizarrely, the single chapter that has been translated and deciphered so far appears to consist of nothing but impossible recipes, the contents of which researches have officially noted as "foul, unmentionable concoctions not meant for any universe, but least of all ours."
Ujuura's Codex disappeared for a short duration roughly 500 years after its creation, stolen from its vault against all odds by the legenday Yunafimal thief, Yurabdim. The codex was eventually recovered from the thief's home in Al Juraysah, amid the bodies of the rest of the town. Yurabdim himself was never found, though his fangs were found hidden behind the book's very first chapter nearly eight hundred years later.
