The Founder's Prayer Book is a magical artifact penned 6000 years ago by the Founder Brimir. It is said that once upon a time, Brimir prayed to a god and then wrote down all the spells, substituting letters for runic characters.[1]
Traditionally in Tristain, when a member of the royal family is wed, an aristocrat is given the role of bridesmaid and is given the Prayer Book. This is how Louise obtained it in Volume 3, the bridesmaid to Princess Henrietta.[1]
Preface[]
We know very little of the contents of the book, but in Volume 3 the preface of the book was read out to us.
The preface has been pasted below:
"Foreword.
Henceforth, I shall record the truth I know. All materials in the world are comprised of fine grains. The four branches intervene with these fine grains and apply an influence, which transform them into spells. This was how "Fire", "Water", "Wind" and "Earth" became.
Louise was filled with curiosity. With an impatient feeling, she turned the page.
The gods bestowed upon me a greater strength. The fine grains, which the four branches bore influence over, are comprised of even finer grains. The power bestowed upon me by the gods, does not belong to any of the four. The branch I wield intervenes with even finer grains and applies an influence, transforming them into spells. A Zero that belongs to neither of the four. This so-called Zero is 'Void'. I name the Zero the gods have bestowed upon me 'Void'."[2]
