Books[]
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]
