The Codex of Ultimate Wisdom dates back to the Age of Virtue in Britannia. The symbol itself, was created by Lord British as a graphical representation of the system of Principles and Virtues that he promoted in his land.

The three center circles represent the three Principles of Goodness. The six lines, the large outer circle and the small circle in the center represent the eight Virtues and indicate how they are formed by which of the three center circles they are tangent to.

This particular copy of the Codex of Ultimate Wisdom is inlaid into a beautiful marble stone. The circles and lines are all inlaid platinum and a thin silver band circles the outside in which the names of the eight virtues are engraved. This copy of the Codex, while not unique is extremely valuable as it was only awarded to the more prominent followers of Virtue in Britannia. It should be noted, that many people wear medallions with a similar copy of the codex on it as a symbol of their devotion to Virtue.
