End of Royalty - Cinfrasian Uprising[]

  • It goes without saying that our history was moulded by the royals.
  • Their influence lasted for more than a thousand years after Remikas crowned himself the first king of our nation.
  • But all rulers will eventually fall. When our lands were crying from famine and disease, those who ruled only admired the horizon.
  • We slaughtered the orcs, became the conquerors of the west and the true rulers of Gavel. But was that not enough? No. Not for our king, Theden II.
  • The heart of Gavel was bleeding with deception. In 750 AP, through the streets of Cinfras, the public began their revolts against their... silent king.
  • For weeks many were killed and the red fires blazed through the streets, but the voices of the courageous continued growing stronger.
  • All attempts to stop the riots were repressed. The uprising was a force as strong as the mightiest waves. Soon enough, the final defense was broken.
  • Though once the mob arrived at the grand hall, the king already laid dead.
  • The royalty was over. A new age rose as a sun from the darkness. Only the people have the power now.
  • However, there are those who do not share the same vision with us. Those who dare to defile our democracy.
  • And to those, we say... An Gavellen.

Study of the Goliaths[]

  • The Goliaths of Gylia, as they are named, have slumbered outside of our cities with no truth to their origins.
  • Overwhelming amounts of historians have tried to figure out their mystery, to no avail.
  • Texts as far back as from the 5th Age mention them. And unfortunately the majority of knowledge before the cataclysm, as with many other things, is gone from our grasps.
  • Machines of the First Men. Bringers of the apocalypse. Soldiers of the gods. Such theories have emerged from our baffled minds.
  • In particular, the mythical Afenian War has been the most popular source among the people, though myths are... sadly to say, myths.
  • There are so many paths to take when we try to understand something that could very well be ten thousand years old.
  • But as long as these Goliaths continue to hide their enigmatic truth, we are left to rely on our own interpretations.

A Scholar's Perspective on Gerts[]

  • One of the pages has been bookmarked.
  • And yet, there is no written record from the ancient villagers about the gerts up until the early 6th Age.
  • This has many implications. A common theory among the uneducated masses is that they arrived on our lands along the meteors of Gylia.
  • Clearly, this is simply impossible, as no creature can survive such an impact. But then again the meteors could've protected them somehow.
  • Alas, I digress. A more accepted theory is that the savages were lured to the meteors out of hiding in another region, such as the canyon.
  • This I find more believable, as weak minds are drawn to great power. Though the problem with this theory is...
  • A large stain renders the next page unreadable.

Ancient Scrolls[]

The italicized text is in High Gavellian.

  • Most of the writing is faded and the paper is well worn.
  • ...They arrived... the Canyon. The tremors... To protect us?
  • ...One... larger than... others... not... The Colossus? ...Calm for now.
  • ...Bugs... the forest... Guardians have fallen... Doomed?
  • But they... replaced with... more aggressive... Keep distance...

Fall of the Twins[]

  • Born from another, condemned each other.
  • One sought for the truth, the other for solace,
  • but did not treat themselves as brothers.
  • Breaking through heaven was the young one's dream.
  • It's call hollowed the souls of the frightened,
  • but it was not enough to bring a flow to the stream.
  • The younger one fell, as the ambition brought it down.
  • The older one watched with grief and sorrow,
  • only to wear its long desired crown.
  • Though only for a while, the survivor smiled.
  • The claws soon ravaged and the blood flowed wild,
  • as from a nameless place judgement had arrived.

Guild Records 1-100[]

  • This is a complete record of all known existing guilds as of 945 AP.
  • If a guild cannot be found here, consult a later record.
  • A new record will be provided within a year of the previous record's publication, if a guild has not been registered anywhere.
  • The following is a long list of boring statistics... Seems like there was a large uptick in guild creation around the creation of this log.

Librarian NPC[]

The Librarian is at the bottom of the Grand Archive, near the Guild Records.
Dialogue:

  • Librarian: Ah, a fellow connoisseur of literature like myself! It's good to see another intellectual within these ancient halls.
  • Librarian: And when I say ancient I mean it. This library is almost as old as the city itself. It's a wonder how much our ancestors knew all those years back.
  • Librarian: It is a shame though that not many are interested in our history. This place has become so underused that the Guild Hall has started placing its records here.
  • Librarian: Ha! Can you imagine? They care more about those groups of mercenaries than the old ways of our forefathers. Complete insanity!
  • Librarian: Ah, look at me talking your ear off. You likely have more important matters to attend. Well, I shan't keep you here any longer. Farewell!

Trivia[]

  • The phrase "An Gavellen", comes from the Ancient Gavellian phrase "An Gavel Ellen", which translates to "Glory to Gavel", which is literally translated to "To glory Gavel".[1]
