Bankun, I found something that will interest you in an old coffer, You can keep it if you can find it. I will help just a little.

Toothless, I bite. The Powers cannot touch me. All lands know me, save only the Desert. I give great power and I give death. Many homins fear me. Some homins love me. Who am I?

Of Old I fought the kitin, now I fight a deadlier foe. Only the Varinx is my friend. The Varinx and the night.

I rule without land. I wear a coat of shimmering blue and red and gold. My life delights the eye and makes homins smile, my death does so even more. To find me is hard, yet you can see me in many a blade, a shield and the sparkling of a jewel.

Rikutatis sends his written report of the meeting with Sage Supplice (Sorrow):
Not long ago an old Zoraï informed the Circles that his village had been attacked by bandits. The only lead we had was a letter these bandits left behind. This letter (described above) seemed to indicate that the attackers were marauders or at least had some relations with them, due to the use of the Marauder word "bankun" in the beginning.

Sage Supplice held a meeting, which was attended by a great number of Zoraïs and their allies. The purpose of the meeting was to decipher the riddles contained in the letter, and after much debate and discussion we arrived at the conclusion that the first part of the riddle referred to the "Goo", the second part seemed to be a reference to the "marauders" or "Melkiar the Black Varinx" specifically. And the third part of the riddle appeared to refer to the "sun".

Near the Karavan altar in Void (and here I note that Jena is known as the Sun Goddess by her heretic followers), deep into the Goo, we found a chest. Inside this chest was a letter. This letter, very old and fragile, will need some time to be fully transcribed. But the first few sentences seemed to indicate this was written by none other than the infamous marauder Marung Horongi, goo researcher and responsible for the assassination of Tryker Governor Still Wyler.

We await for the full transcription of the letter.

The parchment you found in the chest in the middle of the Goo was very damaged. Despite the seal of the chest, it seems that the Goo managed to infiltrate itself and cause great damage. Here is the transcript of the text we were able to recover.

It may be noted in addition that these sheets seem to have been ripped from a larger collection; one can see a binding mark on the side.

[Pages from] Marung Horongi's diary

Tria, Medis 10, 2nd AC 2456

My name is Marung Horongi. I was born in Zoran, in 2450. I'm 6 years old. I've decided to write my diary like the bigger ones do. But I've got to say I'm a big one since yesterday! I'm finally wearing a mask! Other children my age don't have a mask yet. I 'm told I'm gifted.

Quinteth, Harvestor 19, 1st AC 2458

I've been learning magic with the Kamis for a year already. I don't understand why the other children need so much time to learn such simple spells. I want to learn more, faster!

Prima, Winderly 4, 3rd AC 2462

Today, I'm 12. I've learned much from the Kamis, I'm by far the best mage in my age group. I've got the feeling that the Kamis aren't teaching me everything they know, but I manage to reach further than what they're showing me. One day, I'll know as much as they do!

It's time for me to leave Zoran. I've asked to join the Company of the Eternal Tree because I think this tribe can teach many things! Tomorrow I'll go and join them.

Quarta, Thermis 18, 2nd AC 2470

For 8 years now, I've been learning within the Company of the Eternal Tree. I now know as much as they do about the fight against the Goo and I can't perfect my magical art any further here. I'm grateful for their invaluable teaching, but I must leave them. I've got to find a mentor worthy of my genius. I have decided that I will be the apprentice of the Grand Sage Hoï-Cho.

Tria, Winderly 4, 3rd AC 2475

It has been 25 years since I was born, and 5 since I became the apprentice of the Grand Sage Hoï-Cho. He's answered all my hopes; he's really the worthy mentor I was hoping for. Near him, amongst the great and important homins of Zoran, I'm learning all about the political apparatus and I'm getting known by the most powerful of this world.

In the meantime, I'm still perfecting my magical art with the Kamis. Without them guessing, I'm figuring out some things they don't want to teach us, and I'm beginning to master an art known only by them....

I'm destined to do great things, I can feel it with every breath I take. There's no doubt that, when the time has come, I'll be the one best fitted to replace Hoï-Cho at the head of the country.

Being rather young, Naema wonders if Marung Horongi is related to Nung Horongi and how so.... or, if it is the same person with a longer name? She is wondering also of the time frame of the two individuals (or 1), and when they lived.

On another thought, a guildie thought the third part of the riddle refered to a rainbow rather than the 'Sun,' but we are just throwing that out there...

This is a horrifying insight into the mind of the person who was responsible for the murder by a Goo weapon of Governor Stil Wyler. That they have survived, especially in the Goo, is remarkable

These words should be inscribed in an amber cube to be kept for all time as a reminder of how evil starts.

I am interested in the fact that this seems to have been part of a larger (book? collection of pages?). Who knows? If this fragment survived, there might be other fragments.

-- Mac'Od Bittty

P.S. Naema -- The answer to the third riddle cannot possibly have been the sun, for the sun never dies, and if it did there would be no joy. I'm not sure that "a rainbow" is the answer either, since we may take joy in it, but there is no joy when it fades and dies. Further, a rainbow doesn't rule, with or without a land. I am still puzzling on the matter.

Miko Naema,
From what I remember, Marung and Nung are considered brothers, although if the two are actual biologically connected is unclear. More of how an apprentice is to his master in reality.

Sygmus rummages through his bag and produces an old parchment before Naema.

Kai'bini, read this:
Zoraï'i! Tria, Folially 15 1 CA 2548, the Criminal Horongi Nung was seen to Zora. Marung Horongi reportedly died before many of Initiates. The Horongi brothers are guilty of numerous crimes in Witherings and in other regions of Atys, in addition to being Marauders, including the murder of the Governor Still Wyler! The Great Mask asks you to capture Nung as fast as possible!

Guild Cho wait all loans introduced to help the Zoraï People on the Grand Place, the Floris Quinteth 5, 1 CA 2548.

That Wisdom Kami guide you!

It was a troubled time, Miko Naema.
Vao-Jung Horong, his wife, was also contaminated with the goo.

Sygmus folds up the parchment delicately back into his bag.

This news is very troubling to me due to the ramifications it entails.
A dark history that I thought was behind us all...
Fuu'guzu no, Miko Naema, I do not mean to sound so gloomy.

Sygmus shakes his head and immediately recovers back to his typical cheerful persona.

Ari'Kami, see you around!

The red-haired Matis sat at his table, bowed over the latest transcriptions he had received. He studied them with intense attention. His left hand, which had at the beginning played a little melody on the wooden table frame, slowly turned that tune into a staccato of sounds - a curious mixture of nervousness, aggressivity, and dread, which came to a sudden halt when the Matis had finished his reading. He then, without losing much of a minute, grabbed his quill and a sheet of fresh paper, which in his haste he stained with ink. Ignoring this, the Matis began to write immediately.

Deles Silam, Honored Sages of the Witherings!

First, I would like to congratulate you on your peoples findings; that document you discovered and translated is a fascinanting window into the past of Atys.

Having heard that it was written by a Marung Horongi brought a few things together for me immediately, though.

We have all heard about the so-called "River of Time" and certainly have wondered where these swimming color-stains mentioned differ and where they are the same or something else completely. Did you, did I exist in every single of these stains? Where we similar in character there or someone else altogether?

The name Marung Horongi, to my knowledge, played no part in the color-spot I lived my past in. I knew, though, a Zorai named Muang Hoi-Gi, an evil, twisted homin who took pride in the fact that no-one had ever learned as much about Goo than he. I also knew a Nung Horongi, a very old Zorai, who was Muang's initial teacher until Muang was taken from him and given to the Inner Circles of wisdom. Muang and Nuang met again many years later, and although Muang had learned much, Nung still did teach him a few things - including some unspeakable in the Witherings, I guess. For this, Nung was banned from Zoran and from the homeland of your people even before the First Swarming. Nung himself told me about this, a very short time before he died of old age in the Lakelands, a prisoner to the Trykers for his part in the assassination of Still Wyler. Muang, of course, was the one who created the Goo ammunition, and Muang, with whom I did cross paths a couple of times, stayed a menace to all people on Atys over quite a period of time.

Now, from what we know, the same homins - even if they existed probably in every single of the color-spots before these mixed - do not exist twice on the Atys we now live in co-existence on. However, what about homins who died in one color-spot, but not in another? Can the legacy of every single one of them survive? Is it the same legacy melted into one, or are there various different legacies?

This all worries me, honored Sages, for one thing I know: our Muang Hoi-Gi, who probably is nobody else but the same and yet a different person than Marung Horongi, was very much alive at the time of the Second Swarming.

With my respect,
