The Index
WonderandAwe:
Index is user names and passwords for the Builder's Hidden Technology.
This is why you don't write down you passwords! Crazy people in the future will use them for their own means.

I'm running with the train of thought that much like the Dresden universe all the gods are real. In the breaking of the world the ones who needed a way to survive poured some part of themself into the crystals. Somehow their power or sentience was put into something like a cryogenic state. The Index are their Names, as well as the names of supernatural figures who are still in heaven doing.....something. This ties into the burning ships because when the enemy uses their True Names it pulls them from the crystal one state in a burst of power.
Or something similar. I think part of this idea comes from reading a Raymond E Feist novel where 7 or so gods turned themselves and all the magic of their world into crystalline form. It could also be looked at like making a mantle of sorts in Dresden universe just with the beings sentience being a part of it. I haven't fleshed it all out yet and it's definitely a wag but I'll keep working on it and attempting to sway you all until I'm proven wrong, which will likely be easy.

I think the index was a list of all of the known 'mages' like Folly and her master.
The big bad that folly confronted in her dream attempted to control her and failed. but Cavendish was probably ordered to obtain the list so her master could then go make puppets of them all. Burning the list was probably preferable so they could not go try and protect them all.

I dont think it's that new, not something that gets maintained and updated. Then it wouldnt be the book that is valuable, but rather teh organization that is maintaining it. But I was thinking similarly; Im guessing it's an Index of Bloodlines and will detail the initial Warriorborn and the initial Etherealists, whom I think may both be the result of genetic manipulation.
Brightbane:
What if every spire has a security system and the index is a book that holds the codes to activate it?
They could kill everyone in the spire with that if there were inactive turrets they could turn on
