The Mrin Codex is a fictional book of prophecy mentioned many times in David Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean series of fantasy novels. Together with the Darine Codex, it provides the principal instructions for the Child of Light and his companions during the Age of Prophecy. Unlike the Darine, the Mrin doesn't follow any chronological order, but instead jumps around in time. Belgarath discovers that the Darine can be used as a "map" to the Mrin, which expands on and confirms what the Darine says. The Prophecy confirms this with a humourously deprecating message to Belgarath in the Mrin.

  • The Mrin Codex is a fictional book of prophecy mentioned many times in David Eddings' Belgariad and Mallorean series of fantasy novels. Together with the Darine Codex, it provides the principal instructions for the Child of Light and his companions during the Age of Prophecy. Unlike the Darine, the Mrin doesn't follow any chronological order, but instead jumps around in time. Belgarath discovers that the Darine can be used as a "map" to the Mrin, which expands on and confirms what the Darine says. The Prophecy confirms this with a humourously deprecating message to Belgarath in the Mrin. The Prophecy which guides the Child of Light and his companions does not allow the sorcerers whose task is to glean their instructions from the Mrin, to understand what they are reading until the appropriate time. Belkira and Beltira are often given the task of interpreting the text, as their joined minds allow them to use the Darine in tandem with the Mrin more easily. The part about the meeting of the Child of Light and the Child of Dark: "Behold, it shall come to pass that in a certain moment, that which must be and that which must not be shall meet, in a meeting shall be decided all that has gone before and all that will come after. Then will the Child of Light and the Child of Dark face each other in the broken tomb, and the stars will shudder and grow dim" In the Mirn Codex Belgarions companions are named: Barak: The Dreadful Bear Durnik: The Man With Two Lives Hettar: The Horse Lord Silk or Prince Kheldar: The Guide Relg: The Blind Man Lelldorin: The Archer Mandorallen: The Knight Protector Taiba: The Mother of the Race that Died Ce'Nedra: The Queen of the World Liselle: The Huntress Sadi: The Man Who Is No Man Zakath: The Empty One Toth: The Silent Man Poledra: The Woman Who Watches
