I have chosen to use Kassandra (Cassandra) from Greek myth as the founder of the Order of Akadimía. The members of the Order, in turn, author and narrate the Codex Zihæt.
In Greek mythology, Kassandra was a priestess of Apollo cursed to utter accurate prophecies, but never to be believed. This version of the Kassandra myth splits before Ajax's the lesser's crimes and offers her a chance at redemption. No longer under Apollo's power, she has traded prophecy for history. Kassandra has an opportunity for her truth to be believed.
Her efforts will not go unopposed. Gaslighting entire civilizations, the Morningstar has proven skilled at twisting or even erasing the truth.
