Description
Royal Historian to the Court of Her Most Illuminated Majesty,Ethenielle Kirukon Materasu,By the Blessing of the Light,Queen of Kandor,Protector of the Land,Shield of the North,High Seat of House Materasu.One of the most important finds of recent years,perhaps since the Breaking,is a partial copy of no less than a history of the world from the drilling of the Bore into the Dark One's Prison to the End of the Breaking of the world.The original apparently dated from early in the First Century A.B.Despite the extreme paucity of material from the entire first millennium after the Breaking,we can only be thankful that the art of printing survived the Breaking of the World when so much else did not,and was indeed practiced to some extent during the Breaking itself,though under severe and restricted conditions.Considering the widespread destruction of The Trolloc Wars and the War of the Hundred Years,which although far less than the near totality of the Breaking still saw cities,nations,and far worse,knowledge,go to the fires,we must marvel at any writing that has survived more than three thousand years.What we know is based on fragments,copied and recopied a thousand times,but at least we know something from them.Even a little knowledge is better than ignorance.
