Scriptures of Germonique

The Germonik Scriptures is a book from Final Fantasy Tactics. It is a biography of Saint Ajora Glabados, who is hailed by the corrupt Murond Glabados Church to be a child of God, when in fact he is the human host of the Lucavi demon, Altima the Bloody Angel. It was written by Germonik, one of Glabados' disciples, who later betrayed him. The book portrays Ajora as he truly was in his original life, but Germonik appears to have known nothing of the connection to Altima, as she is not mentioned (perhaps Ajora and Altima had not yet merged at that point, but this is unclear). In addition, the Germonik Scriptures also contain a set of rituals, one of which opens the portal between Orbonne Monastery and Murond Death City.

At the beginning of Final Fantasy Tactics, the Germonik Scriptures are part of the library at Orbonne Monastery, but following Izlude Tingel's attack on the monastery to recover the Virgo Zodiac Stone, the scriptures fall into the hands of Ramza Beoulve, who is later tricked into handing them over to Rofel Wodring, a servant of the Lucavi. Rofel uses the scriptures to allow Vormav Tingel who is really Hashmalum to pass through the portal. After he is mortally wounded by Ramza, Rofel recites the incantation once more, drawing them both into Murond Death City...
