Codex of Araunt

The Codex of Araunt was a tract originally recorded on stone tablets by Lod, a bone naga and founder of the Eminence of Araunt.
==History==
More than five-hundred years before the Year of the Ageless One, 1479 DR, the codex prophesied the slow expansion of the Eminence in the centuries that followed.
==Abilities==
The Codex contained several rituals and spells that allowed its user to:
* Create portals (called "deathways") that linked distant gravesites and mausoleums together across Laerakond and Faerûn, and even between Abeir and Toril, visible only to undead.
* Created undead, like direhelms and doomsepts, from the spirits of dead warriors.
* Empower undead with useful abilities.
* Grant boons to the undead and blights on the living simultaneously.
