CHAPTER 3: The Splintered Age
Much suffering had been felt during the time of the splintered tribes. In battle
Partha had been mortally wounded. In remorse for what he had done to cause such
blood, Partha tore the fangs from his mouth and gave them to the wisest of his
sons, Ratha Shir, and spoke to him.
"You are not my heir, but you are the wisest of your kin. You must show these to
your brothers and tell them they must battle no more. You must lead them with
wisdom."
But when Ratha had done as his father had asked, he was slain by his eldest of
brothers in secrecy. The years of war and death raged on.
Safra, the daughter of Faern Kajek, went to the Shir to ask for peace once more.
It was then that Vahaan, son of Partha, was taken by her beauty. Vahaan and
Nairu agreed to peace for Vahaan was nearby when Partha had spoke to his uncle
Ratha. But he was the youngest of his kin and knew they would slay him for his
thoughts. Vahaan took the fangs of Partha and Nairu journeyed with him to the
lands of Shahar to ask the spirits for guidance. Many years passed and many
kinsman lay slain upon the fields. On the day that the moon returned, the mists
rose from the great veil. Kejaan Kerrath stepped forth from the mist with Vahaan
and Safra at his side.
"It is the wise one!" They cried out. The Kerrans saw that this was good, but
some Shahar and Karani took their leave and vanished to the lands. All that
chose to remain were united as the prophecy claimed. The golden Age had begun. |
CHAPTER 4: The Kingdom on Odus
Kejaan chose the wildest from the clan of the Shir, those who were outsiders of
their kin. From them he made his nobles and warriors. Kejaan took the wisest
from the clan of Kajek. From them he made his shaman and advisors. Kejaan took
the quickest from the clan of Shahar, from them he made his hunters and farmers.
The children of Nairu, the Karani, become the servants of the Kingdom. United,
the Komiyat Kerrath prospered for many years. Kejaan built his palace of gold
within the claws of the four fingered paw.
