The Chronicles of the Almannir
The History and Tales of the Almannir People From Aegis to Axios
1st Edition
==================
Compiled by Joren Hanethor, 1624
Prologue
The history of the Almannir people stretch over several centuries of recorded knowledge, some of which is fact, some mere legends. The writings in this book are a compilation of all known written records of that history as well as my own supplements to fill in for details that may have been forgotten over the years. Our history begins with the Book of Tales, another compilation of tales and histories of the tribal Almannir whose time predated the Kingdom of Oren by an unknown amount of centuries. Its original authors are not known but it was translated by Novtorn Stonefire and Isovar Kurben, a bastard of Galtor I. Stafyr, from the language Rivacheg. It tells of the origin of the Almannir people and the fate of the tribes that scattered throughout the land of Aegis.
Following the Book of Tales is an account of the history of House Stafyr, starting with Beorn Stafyr, the first Almannir to take the family name, and following the house all the way up to the modern day. This account of the history was taken from records kept by the Canonist Church and like the Book of Tales the author(s) of the account have been lost to time. Afterwards I have included biographies about some of the most important Stafyrs: Saint Godwein, Farley II and Edmund written by my father Berenden. Lastly is my brother’s writings on the history of my family, the Hanethors, descendents of Farley II himself.
It’s important to remember while reading this chronicle that not everything included is reliable. Nothing written about the tribal Almannir can be known to have happened for certain and some of it in fact contradicts known human history. Even the modern history of the House of Stafyr is written from personal accounts and may not tell the whole truth.
