Silver Barbarism

[Overland 349]

 

A Missive is posted in the inn.

 

Fellow Blessed Elves,

 

Where would we be if our ancient kin had not recorded their customs and their ideology in the Silver Library?

 

Great works of literature, law and records of history mark a civilised people but I do not not see us producing any of those things. You might say: ‘but First Mole, you are wrong, for we have a library that is the brightest jewel in all of the lands!’ I see our library and despair, for it appears stagnant and murky. The most blessed book of Tradition and Silver has had no additions since my departure long ago. Is no one brave enough to record our history?

 

Does our history shame you?

 

If we did not write the actions of the Butterfly or the Lion, how could we teach the young the faults of the elders? Recount your history and write every last detail so we may progress. Our leaders and guides, remember to tell the people your actions through written word, not for our sake but for our children. This is a must in the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya, for how can we progress if we do not know what we were once like, aside from being driven by the lust of nostalgia?

 

Remember why the Worm withheld us from having a Maheral in the days of the Golden Owl. Remember his words to those who sit around and chose not to contribute to the maehr’sae hiylun’ehya in the lands where knowledge is half our reason to exist.

 

“You are all tea-drinkers, and nothing more.”

 

Heed this warning, Blessed Ones.
