IN THE BEGINNING - WHEN THE GODS TOOK FORM AND SHAPED THE WORLDS
|
Excerpts from The Parf O Gûl
In the beginning where was only Light. An everlasting and never forgiving Light that contained all existing Power. When the gods spoke the words of the Power in the Light they took form from the words they spoke and their forms cast shadows in The Light, and darkness began.
In the shadows of their forms they tried to imitate the Everlasting Light in which they had been created. Then they spoke shaping the worlds and to preserve them in eternity they created time and in their shape they created the mortals and gave to the mortals the circle of life and death. |

Excerpts from The Parf O Gûl
The Gods had the gift of speech which gave them Wisdom and gave them Power. The Mortals did not have the gift of speech so they had no power and no wisdom. When the gods spoke to the mortals, the only a few of the mortals understood. Those who understood became powerful, because they only understood speech which gave them power, and corrupted by the power they began to unwisely to abuse the small bits of the arcane languages they have learned. The gods were wrathed because their servants claimed their power. So the Gods created the Grey Ones. The Grey Ones was given immortality and then given the gift of speech and The Grey Ones became Powerful and Wise. Because this time The Gods spoke of Wisdom and not of Power. The Grey Ones Traveled to The Mortals and The Grey Ones spoke of the Wrath of the Gods and the ages of chaos. So The Grey Ones gave the The Mortals gift of Wisdom through The Gift of Speech, and some mortals became Wise. Those who became Wise also became powerful. And those who became the most powerful were the ones who became the least Wise. |

|
As told by the Polanjavit Troubadour Golas Pravdi
A day will come when the working peasant and beggar will suffer no more. On The Day of Judgement the virtuous will be granted immortality and the vice will be enslaved as punishment. On The Krasny Notzch, The Night of Beauty all will be grey. No shall suffer and all will live in piece. No one shall starve nor suffer from other punishments of poverty. Everyman will eat and work together in a realm, an empire, a world under the shining stars of The Krasny Notzch.
The troubadour was captured for execution by the two young adventurers; Leonid Voltinov Kalingrada and Rodya Raskelnikov Volgagrada. |

THE LEGEND OF SAINT SOPHIA THE WISE OF VERENA
|
As written in Liber Fidelis
The pale sun was setting beyond the rocky hills covered by yellow grass. The young nun Sophia, sister of The Saint Dina The Justifier Convent in the little settlement in North Shire called Nornost. The apprentice judge saw that Verenas sword would fall upon the Cuilrendir, for their unspoken reasons for leaving Culost.
She knew that the Cuilrendir were men of great power because they held awesome knowledge and that the consequences for Calendôr would be dire.
The secrets and lies hidden in the libraries of Culost would result terrible loss of the knowledge for Calendôr. The High Lady told the young Sophia that this knowledge would be necessary for the survival of Calendôr
. What should follow the mortal studies of the Cuilrendir, would be of divine awe.
The sister travelled far and wide through the realm in search of the arcane knowledge, and knowledge she found. Still had the Cuilrendir and their followers brought almost all their stduies to Culost. Therefore she went to close to all loremasters of Calendôr. Where she found lore besides from her convent was Wissenburg in Middleland, in Marienburg in Marienland, in Mutterstadt in Lanc and in Martel. And when she came to South Shire she founded a library on the bank of what later got the named River Sophia.
When Môrr took her, she was burried on the rocky hill beyond the bank and a convent rised around the library as grew in her memory.
Some voices utter that King Martian III visited the convent which now had become a huge library complex., a citadel of Lore. The same voices also utter that here he first learned about the alliance of the five gods and united the five churches The Faith. |
