- Here is a translated extract from a book sent to me by the High Priest of Icthlarin in Menaphos. Please bear in mind that Menaphosian translation is not my strongest skill, so what is here may not accurately portray the true meaning of the original text.
Saying that, I feel I’ve captured the essence of the piece, which seems to be a parable based around the desert god pantheon. Most likely, it is used as a tool both to pass on Menaphosian beliefs and to teach the values which one should adhere to in desert life. Fascinating..- Reldo
Heat shimmers over crack’d dry earth, over sandy dunes,
Bleached skulls with permanent rictus grins:
Kharid, seemingly barren, yet life exists within this realm.
Lizards skitter, plants drink of the Elid, and the desert peoples rejoice.
God of the Sun, Lord of Light, ruler of these lands: Tumeken arises this morn.
