Description

This is an introduction to a much longer work. It tries to summarize what came before the current 10 deities which are worshipped throughout the island of Hârn.

The rest of this longer work is lost. While this scroll does reference other works by various authors, there is no way to tell if those other works ever existed. It is truly one of the great mysteries of ancient theological studies.

The scroll is believed to have been accurately copied, but with so few copies in circulation it is hard to tell. Two copies of heavily edited versions are known on Hârn. Both are significantly shorter and tend to have names and whole phrases clumsily omitted. Sentences read choppily and it is obvious there is something missing.

History

Scholars assume this work is partially divinely inspired. Either that or it is a great work of fiction. Little is known about the author and many libraries tend to discard this scroll, preferring to believe the otherwise conical texts that state the deities of Hârn are all that there ever were.

Hârnic Book Information

TYPE: Theology, General

AUTHOR: Unknown

SUBJECT:Controversial beliefs and assumptions based on current lore from a myriad of “ancient” religions no longer practiced.

LANGUAGE: Many, translated.

SCRIPT: Lakise

ORIGIN: Copies have been found primarily on mainland Lythia.

DATE: approximately 400TR

COPIES:    Rare

NOTE: The text verges on the heretical. Without a general understanding of theology (Ritual SI of 3+) it appears to be bed-time stories of great heros and ancient wars. While neither banned nor forbidden, it is not often copied and not well liked by the current hierarchy of religion.
