A dimly lit room features a figure in a dark robe holding a book, standing beside a bed where a young woman with long hair sits, wrapped in a light-colored blanket. The atmosphere is tense, with flickering candlelight casting shadows on the ornate wallpaper and a large window revealing a gloomy exterior. The title "The Exorcist's Codex" is prominently displayed at the top of the image.

A dark and atmospheric scene depicts a cloaked figure, presumably an exorcist, standing beside a bed where a woman appears to be in distress. The room is dimly lit, with a large window allowing faint light to filter in, illuminating the ornate furnishings and a portrait on the wall. The title "The Exorcist's Codex" is prominently displayed, suggesting a focus on themes of exorcism and the supernatural.

The Exorcist Codex rulebook features a striking cover illustration of a large, winged creature with a glowing halo, set against a backdrop of shadowy figures in a 1890s urban environment. The book is flanked by two other volumes, one of which is titled "Demonologist," suggesting a thematic connection to the RPG's focus on battling ancient demons. The overall color palette is muted, with dark tones contrasting against the lighter background of the main book.
