Codex Infernach - Jacob's Journey to hell.
Gizondael tasks Jacob with a formidable challenge: to spend a year in Hell, a realm where time operates differently. In Hell, time moves much slower, so while Jacob endures a year in this daunting environment, 150 years pass in the overworld. Throughout his journey, he encountered various demons, many of whom were considered deities in Eldham and other realms. They came in different forms – some tried to seduce him, others to frighten him, but many tried to deceive him. Yet, each encounter was a lesson and a test of his resolve. In the Codex Infernach, the tales of Jacob Liberatus's encounters and trials in Hell are very well documented.. This intense and transformative experience profoundly shapes his spiritual journey and his understanding of the universe's deeper truths.

In the depths of Hell, amidst his grueling trials, Jacob Liberatus crosses paths with an unusual figure - Ichabod The Insane ( IGN : Radioalastorm), a necromancer known for traversing between Hell and the overworld. Ichabod, possessing an enigmatic and complex persona, often ventured into Hell for reasons shrouded in mystery. Ichabod takes a peculiar interest in Jacob's quest. Recognizing Jacob's determination and the significance of his journey, Ichabod decides to guide him. He leads Jacob through the labyrinthine depths of Hell, navigating its perilous terrains with a knowledge only someone frequently visiting these realms could possess.

Encounter with Fankt Chwonki
One of the demons Jacob encountered in infernal city of Grul’gael is the famous lesser-demon Fankt Chwonki, There, Fankt casually dismissed the sack of Rodinnbrok as a simple prank. When Liberatus refused Fankt's offer to betray Arch Angel Gizondael for demonic language lessons, he revealed Fankt's name "Slunek Slunek" (Drinker Drinker) in Angaelic, amusing the demon. Fankt, delighted, unintentionally revealed his role in a plot with upper demon Jorm (Grizagel) to undermine Rodinnbrok. He also confessed that "Fankt Chwonki" was an anagram for "Think of Wank," a joke on his worshipers. In this encounter, Liberatus gleaned significant demonic secrets, despite rejecting Fankt's initial proposition.

"Rodinnbrok?! what of Rodinnbrok? stupid! them pray silly a name me make! chwonki chwonki!! ha ha haa... I am big god of party, Best party! Big god of wine, big! eldham! little!... little stupid! them all drink all feast! but not enough."

The revelation/Codex Verelirion
The Codex Verelirion, a foundational text of the Essentist faith, was partly transcribed by Jacob from its original Angaelic, a complex and symbolically rich celestial language. This text, unique in its lack of conventional punctuation and structure, reflects its otherworldly origins. It encompasses various chapters that delve into the intricate beliefs of Essentism. The first three chapters of the Codex, "Creation," "Corruption," and "Commandments," collectively form what is known in the common tongue as the "Song of Creation." These chapters establish the foundational narratives of the universe's creation, the nature of spiritual misalignment, and the guiding principles for followers. It's important to note that the entire Codex Verelirion, including these chapters, remains in Angaelic, necessitating ongoing translation efforts to make its profound wisdom accessible to a broader audience.
