Re: A History of Perpetuality
(MA Ermor)
Hail to the inheritors of Messina Adanisi Ermor, the greatest city of the known world, the world that has been, and the world to come.
Hail to the inheritors of the Legacy of the Ermorian nation: Eternal Life, and Eternal Wisdom.
Thanks be to the Giver of Eternal Life, The Fount of Eternal Wisdom, The Wellspring of Time, The All Powerful Bimini, The First Among Sixty.
My name is not important, as I am but a humble scribe in the Catacomb Archives of the ancient City of Messina Adanisi Ermor, the seat of power of the MA Ermorian Nation. It is my duty to record the events of my time, as seen by my own eyes, as heard by my own ears, as tasted by my own tongue, and as felt by my own flesh. Know also, that the events are as foretold by the Seeress of Catalini in the The Tidal Chants , and the period indexed by the Rediscovery of the Temple of the Dead in the ancient lake beneath the Catacomb Archives.

The Tidal Chants, Division 6, Verse XXI:
And the harvest shall be overflowing
The sheep plump
The honey sweet
The wine strong
And the commerce shall be exceeding
The furs caress
The coins glitter
The pots jangle
But so do winds waft cold
But so do makers make less
But so do sages stray far
But so do fortunes fickle meet
And the whispers shall be heard
And the tides shall beckon
And the dreams shall show
And One shall heed the call
And forgotten wisdom recall
