Treasure Hunters in the World of El Tor

Andrew Michael Miller1 Comment

It is no secret that once the world was cleared of the demonic threat during the Third Age, countless treasures were reclaimed by the pilgrims who first journeyed outward from the City of White Walls. Over the years, as the various realms began to form under the rule of kings, many of these treasures were taken into the royal coffers. Early competition between kings was to see how many of the treasures of the fallen age they could amass for their own kingdoms. Because of this, the treasures became more status symbols than curious pieces of technology from the technologically advanced societies that fell to the curse.

Clerical Conversations (Third Letter)

Andrew Michael Miller2 Comments

The following communication is continued correspondence between Professor Cesario de Torium and Professor Recamundus de Gelgadongo. In the two previous letters between the rival clerics, they discussed the potential repercussions of how the subjects of their poetry are portrayed, and what effect that may have on listeners. Each of them has dismissed the other's words as a rhetorical form of saber rattling, trying to prove their superiority in the arts by confusing the meaning of their rival's work.

The Missing History of Man

Andrew Michael Miller1 Comment

In the First Book, it's well established the events that led to the disappearance of the First Son and the self-unmaking of the First Woman in her grief. Warathi people believe that the man who dubbed himself Wa'rath the Conqueror was the true First Son returned. He who led the successful purge of the demons of the land, ultimately returned again to claim the seat of the Ascended Father in the Holy City, casting out all who would not internalize his way before starting his vicious rule of the land. This is all well known and a terrible part of our history. What is not known or well documented is what attempts to reclaim the land were made prior to Wa'rath the Conqueror's arrival. If only we could gain access to the annals of history held within the white and black walls, perhaps it would shed light on some of the greatest mysteries of our day.

The following text is continued correspondence between Professor Cesario de Torium and his counterpart in Caelon, Professor Recamundus de Gelgadongo. Both men are leading clerics in their respective academies, and their rivalry in poetry and poetic discourse lives on long after they both die as friends to a bitter end. The letter contained here is written by Prof. Cesario in response to the first letter from Prof. Recamundus concerning the heroic portrayal of the villain Ranemiro who was known for raiding wealthy caravans in his day.
