The Lexicon

The Lexicon is a compendium of rules and regulations, as well as moral guidelines, written by Forte D'lanastion XVIl and contributed to by various anonymous sources. The book is mainly meant to reinforce the ideas of nationalism and fascism amongst Quel'Thalas. It is one of the basic building blocks in forming a soldier of The Bloodsworn.

Editions and Structure
The Lexicon is structured in a way that it is easily-readable and not very complex on the eyes. Though the original manuscript has been ruminated and is illuminated (also leather-and-iron-bound), the copies of the Lexicon are widely available to the public in the form of either hard-copy or paperback, each of which follow a standard list-format.

The first edition was released in 5343 A.F with the same ideas in mind, though many of the newer copies have been edited to readjust to the theme of the current times. Names and dates remain the same, if there are any stated in any certain chapter or piece; overall, it now serves as a basis for Sin'dorei supremacy rather than simply patriotism.

Critical Acclaim and Reception
The book itself has been criticised several times by many equalists throughout the nation, as wall as several more-progressive peoples, claiming that many of its teachings are "oppressive and malevolent". The general public holds its stance as the Lexicon being a "book of profound evils", stating that the ideas contained within are toxic and xenophobic.

Critics, on the other hand, have a quite different idea of the book. Many literature aficionados claim that the book is well-written and beautifully-portrays the essence of the Sin'dorei, stating that it effectively translates the traditions of then old days into a modern light and that it is easily-read and well-spoken.

The book has been translated into thirteen different dialects of Thalassian and distributed in almost all of the nation's sects.
