The Codex of Xalz is a purportedly historical document that claims to contain the history of a city on the island of Akvatar named Sinala. The city was supposed to have been populated by a mysterious race called the Aalsi, whose songs could charm the very gods themselves. Sinala, according to the Codex, was entirely annihilated during the Valterrian. The author, from whom the title of the document is taken, is listed as Coldai Xalz in a signature on the last page, and claims to have been a survivor of the Valterrian who had firsthand knowledge of Sinala.
No mention of the Codex is found in any historical sources until it is listed among the University of Zeltiva's holdings in an inventory taken in 386. It is widely considered to be a 2nd century A.V. forgery, but a few fringe scholars have opined that it may be genuine.
