{{External|rs}}
The '''Cerddi''' is a significant [[elf|elvish]] text, containing the teachings of [[Seren]].{{CiteNPC|npc=Memory of Seren|loc=Song of the Elves|quote=When I first encountered the elves on their homeworld of Tarddiad, it was like I had finally found my purpose... ...Ceidwad, documented my teachings in a great book called the Cerddi.|name=Ceidwad}} It was written by [[Ceidwad]] on [[Tarddiad]]{{NamedRef|Ceidwad}} before the elves came to [[Gielinor]] through the [[World Gate]].

The Cerddi states that crystal seeds are sentient, however only [[Seren]] is known to be capable of conversing with the crystal consciousness.{{CiteText|text=Crystal singing for beginners|quote=Reading the 'Cerddi' tells us that crystal seeds are sentient, although no one has ever been able converse with any crystal consciousness other than that of Seren herself.}}

The only known part of the Cerddi is quoted in [[the great divide]] book:
{{Quote|"only together as the eight clans can we hope to survive in this hostile new world"|[[Lord Baxtorian Cadarn]]|[[The great divide]]{{CiteText|text=The great divide|quote=It was at this point that Baxtorian quoted the 'Cerddi', telling all those present that 'only together as the eight clans can we hope to survive in this hostile new world'.}}}}

==Trivia==
*''"Cerddi"'' translates to songs or poems in the {{WP|Welsh language}}, this fits thematically with the [[elf|elves]], who use [[crystal singing]] to change the shape of crystals.{{CiteText|text=Crystal singing for beginners|quote=The idea behind chanting is quite simple: different pitches can change the shape and size of any facet of the seed.}}
