The First Tablet

The First Book of Vovfen

Chapter 1

An account written by the hand of Vovfen the prophet; about 200 AD.

Behold, I am Vovfen, the son of Aiynar, the son of Danyal, who is the son of Hennen, who was the same as he who built the wall now lying in the east of our territory. And this line is great as it comes from that same Yōhannaz who fled Aiyesholames, that great prophet who settled with the Aiyanthi/Scythians in the land of Germania to the west. There, let this record not be disputed. I am Vovfen, and I am the son of the Aiylōhyme and brother to that Thūnoraz who came in his great power one hundred and ninety-eight years ago. Therefore, let my words not be disputed. 
I make this record as a sign that I have been successful in accomplishing the work which my father Aiynar set me to. We are a branch of the great Scyth nation, and we are their children, for our mother is Wencolence, that princess of Scyth who married Yōhannaz the prophet who came up from Aiyesholames in the far south. Let it not be disputed! 
It was then my father's desire to stir up this branch to repentance of their wicked ways, for they were a wicked and an abominable people, easily caught into war and great works of death, having many times sought the destruction of us and our kinsmen to the south. 
Therefore, it was that Aiynar called me in, and I had not become Sydeir, as of yet, for I had been a wicked and an idol boy, prone to flights of fancy and laughter, and had not yet sought my Prince upon Sydeir. 
Yet, my father called me in unto him, and he spake these words: Vovfen, my son, I see that you have not been diligent in keeping Sydeir and the Sydeir ways. Nevertheless, Thūnoraz has spoken to me and has required of your hand a great work. And this work will echo throughout the ages and the realms. For our ancestors to the west are an idol people and must soon go down unto a great destruction unless they return unto Thūnoraz, for Hel's door is open and I see that they are led by Lōk, that fiend, and his master Sert. 
And this they have done for a while time. I see it has finally caught up with them, for Lōk has abandoned them, and Sert is their master. Therefore, it is that Yōrmongond, that great serpent, shall soon devour them and his tail. 
And I asked my Father: What is this to me if they have not kept the statutes of the Aiylōhyme? I have not either. So, I say let them perish. 
This caused anger in the heart of my father, for he had great charity for that of our kinsmen to the east. He replied: You should, for death and Hel awaits them. I teach you this that you might have charity, my son. For it is that you are like them, yet to a lesser degree. This will not do, for you are a child of Hennen, that prophet of the east. I give this as a command as given by the Aiyseir. Set aside your foolish machinations, or you will be like the Scythians to the east, and I fear that you will be devoured by Yōrmongond as well. 
Then I left the tent of my father with anger and indignation in my heart, for I knew all of the truths he had spoken. I carried them with me, allowing them to continue to sink deep into my hard heart. And this I did for many years, and the count of the years since Thūnoraz left for the Aiyseir was one hundred and seventy-eight. And then after my years of indignation, I returned to the place of my father, that great city of Hennen, for I had left, and I do not make an account of that time. 
And upon my return, I, still being fiery and angry, came not to my father, but avoided him, desiring a wife that I might wed. For I had been among the Nyōrse to the north, and again I do not make an account of that time. 
And I searched for a wife among my people, and found none, for they were all Sydeir and saw that I was not, and they turned from me. And this was another source of anger. It was then that I returned to my father and was in a great anger, but he sat in Sydeir, and despite my anger, I did not disturb him, for I was not Sydeir myself, but I knew the power of it. 
And while he was in Sydeir, he spoke to me, yet my ears did not hear. He said: My son, I see your presence. Come with me upon Sydeir that I may show you the things of the Aiyseir. And despite my anger, I covered my eyes with my hands. Therefore, being given the name of 'Hand Flame', which in the old language would be rendered Urimos Elohimus. 
Upon doing this, I saw, yet, having never seen before, I became greatly afraid. I then saw my father as he was in the midst of dancing in the flames, and he took my hand and led me also into the flames. And they thickened around me, and they rose as it seemed, unto Athalaz, that great home of the Aiyseir. I was greatly amazed and hid my face from my father, and I knew that he had been righteous all his days, and I had served him with mighty indignation. 
And I began to weep for my anger and sloth. It was then that Heimalaz took me and raised me to my feet, for I had fallen. And he said as one with my father: Your sins have been forgiven, righteous son. You are outcast no longer, for you have beheld the tree and the flame. Stand I command you and see in Sydeir! 
What I beheld was mighty, but shall not be written now, but later. When I had come out of Sydeir, I saw my father come from the flames and sit beside me with great joy in his heart. Yet, I knew that I must leave him at once. We discussed many things, and I bowed before my Maker in gratitude. 
And when we returned, we were greeted by many others who, knowing my disposition for wickedness, were all joyed that I had repented and become Sydeir. And I stood before them and spoke that which Heimalaz placed into my heart, and these are my words: People of Hennen, for long time I have been idol and wicked like unto our brothers the Scythians, yet I stand before you as Urimos Elohimus, Fire Hand. If I may repent and become pure, I say that they can as well. I have seen the destructions which must soon befall Scyth and her sister nations, that it is great, for they will be consumed in a great and final war which shall see the end of such a once great people. And this the Aiylōhyme do not want; nonetheless, it shall be unless they repent and return to Sydeir. 
Behold, I have seen their fall and shall seek to undermine it. I ask for those willing to accompany me and my mother to the lands of our fathers to the east, that great land of Scyth, that we may convert as many as will unto Sydeir and the Aiyseir. Aiylōhyme with us! 
There came a cheer from the people of Hennen that this thing be done. And it was that all moved to grab their Urimos Elohimus or Fire Eye, and there was a festival of Sydeir in the which many great things were both seen and heard, and the rainbow appeared and cast into the fire her colors. And these are the things which we saw. 
There came a fire from the Aiyseir that it consumed all, and all burned and were glad. And we danced in the flames, and the flames danced with us. 
Destruction came from the south, a wind from an enemy long ago. War was poured out between the north lands and the lands round about. The horsemen were carried upon wings, yet they could not stand, and the great alliance of nations sought their downfall. And there arose a star shining from the west, carrying with it light and knowledge and with it, the history of a people long forgotten. Then did those who carried this history aid this star and laid it at the feet of the wicked peoples, yet they sought its destruction. And Thūnoraz came with great lightnings and thunderings, causing the armies to disperse. Then this history was carried throughout the lands of Germania of our forefathers, and flames came upon and lands purifying Germania. Yet the great war began in earnest. A second flame and many men were sent to the halls of Hel, so be it decreed by the Aiyseir, it was Sert that sent this fire, that giant bane from the heavens. He brought with him fire and hounds of Hel. 
And there was war between Sert and Heimalaz. We saw Lōk join in the fray and Yōrmongond loose his tail to speak. Thus it was that a great war poured out in the land, those of Sydeir and those of Sert. Heimalaz prevailed, casting out Lōk and Sert, those allies of old, and Sydeir won, bringing many who followed. Nevertheless, Yōrmongond consumed the armies and his tail, and all was lost. A nation fell. 
These were the things we saw in Sydeir, mighty and terrible. Straight way we went in unto the wall and the record vault and in her found a mighty stash the likes of which had never been translated. And these we knew were the records of a people long forgotten. Straightway our seers set about the records, and in them were many great things, and these we saw would bring about a great remembrance among our kin to the east. This we saw was good, for this record contained the history of the Scythian people and their coming from the south, the lands which our fathers of old settled. For they came up and established a nation and carried with them a gospel of peace. They established a nation of peace. Yet this did not last, yet many prophets and seers arose from the Scythians, that much righteousness was established because of them. Nevertheless, they had fallen into the trap of all nations and became a nation of mercenaries and warriors, and conquerors. 
This would not do, for my people had seen their destruction that the spirit of lies, Sert, did his work among them, and Lōk, the prince of the combination, ruled them. For this purpose, we decided to set out that we might restore them to that former righteousness that they might avoid the certain destruction that would befall them. 
They are our kinsmen. We came from them and I declare it so!

Chapter 2

The time soon came that we would set out to restore the Scythians, for some tribe among them must surely be ripe for restoration. 
The group that set out from my people counted thirteen, and the names of these thirteen I will record. 
There was Farzhid, the son of Amir of the people who joined us from the south, and with him his sister Freyia, she who had been named by Thūnoraz and was grafted in. 
There was Yiōrden, the son of Aiythalaz and Yocktham, he who sailed the sea for the lands far west. 
I was among them, as was my sister Ōrathyl, and our mother, Freya, and her sister, our aunt, Aminthia. Likewise, our father Aiynar, for his place as chief, was being filled by his brother Ekthēow. 
Also with us was Harrav and Hyrōrav, the children of Harazil, the descendant of Haranil, the brother of Hennen. And lastly were the twins Yōrdan and Yocktan. And these were they that went to the borders of the Scythian lands, and all had the commission of Thūnoraz and had received the laying on of power by him. 
Likewise, we carried with us those records which had been translated by our seers that we might bring the Scyth people unto a remembrance from whence they came. 
We traveled for many days and nights, every day going up in Sydeir and communion with the Aiyseir to know where we should go. And I say that we saw many miracles and great things on our journey. And the record of those miracles and visions shall be recorded on a different tablet, the tablet of Prophecies and Visions of the Aiyanthi. 
And after having traveled seven weeks upon the road to Scyth, there came a great quaking in the sky, and there we saw Tyrraz, our father, and he told us where we should go. And that we must divide two and two into the land, save for one who would go alone to some unknown place. And I was joined with Farzhid, and we became one, for we were agreed. 
And we took our journey into the place of our father, even unto the place that Yōhannaz the prophet had come to up from Aiyesholames. 
And when he had fled the destruction, it had been a place of peace and prosperity, which peace and prosperity did not last, for it had become a place of bandits and warlords, and they stabled many horses for war and armed many men with the bow and the sword. 
So it was that we camped outside the city for some time, debating what we should do. And we went up in Sydeir that we may learn our lot. And it came to pass that Thūnoraz himself came down upon his mighty steed and led us. And he led us even to the gates of the palace of Chieftain Werganalziz, the leader of this once great city. 
We were not recognized, nor were we seen. And we were instructed to stand atop the walls and cry unto the people. And I spoke, saying this: By the power of Thūnoraz I cry you to repent. I am Vovfen, son of Aiynar, and the same is a child of Hennen, who you removed from this city because of your wickedness. I come unto you as a brother and dear kinsman. For it was given me by Thūnoraz that Aiy of Thunder to bring you to a remembrance of your past. Therefore, I cry, awake, you children of Svemaz the prophet. You were once good and joyous. Now you are filthy and loathsome. This will not do! For in due course, you shall be destroyed, and this destruction shall be fierce. Even now, your high chieftain and priests make ready for war, and this war will be like one not fought before, for it will be in your homelands and upon your doormat. And I fear that you shall not last, for Sert rains his fire upon you and the combinations of Lōk are had among your rulers. 
Cast them off, oh people! The Sydeir of Sert will be your downfall, for Yōrmongond shall consume you and his tail, and you shall not survive. This is the promise of Thūnoraz, that as many shall cast off the combinations of old and reject the Sydeir of Sert and give no place for Yōrmongond, that serpent, the same will become mighty like the Aiyseir of old, they who became Vyaneir. So, I command you to repent and seek Thūnoraz, and seeking you shall find. 
These were the words which I said to them, for they were which Heimalaz placed into my heart, and the people of the Scythians were sore vexed with me and came up in the pride of their hearts, even as they did with my father's father Hennen, for it was that he had been cast out in like manner because the Scythians could not abide his righteousness. 
So too was it with me, for the Scythians had a long memory and knew of the prophets of my people that had once inhabited their lands. Therefore, they speedily grabbed their bows and their swords that they might slay me, but the Aiylōhyme would not. A way was made that I may escape unto another part of the city, and there I continued my cries, and Farzhid along with me, for he was a great prophet, and I am grateful to call him my Sealed Brother. 
And we went from place to place in the city, causing a great stir among the people, so much so that they chased us with swords and spears, and we had not but to leave the city for fear of our lives. 
So it was that we camped around the city pondering what we should do when a one from the city, whose name was Ahzheil, found us with joy in his heart, for it was that months ago, Ahzheil had been visited by an Aiyseir in a dream, and told of our coming and to prepare. And this Ahzheil laid at our feet records which Aiylōhyme had also caused him to translate before our coming. And these records had been left by our father Hennen in his speedy flight and were of a great spiritual nature, for they contained the records of the brother-in-law of Yōhannaz our father, the same who was the brother of this Wencolence, the wife of Yōhannaz. We were greatly joyed to receive these records, and we joined them with the records we had brought with us. 
And it came to pass that as we three were counseling amongst ourselves, Thūnoraz Aiyseir came into our midst and spoke, saying: My sons, great is your faith! For I had prepared you separately, but you have all joined together. And this for a great purpose in me, that I might bring this place unto a remembrance of me and of their parents who were righteous. So go back down unto the city to the place I have prepared for you that all may be brought again unto righteousness. For this is the purpose that I promised their fathers, that their children may not fall into wickedness and despair, for their fathers were of great faith, and so shall their children. 
Thus it was that after Thūnoraz had spoken these words to us, we went, having been shown the place that we should go. And now, I give quote to these records of the Scythians, for it was that we said, no word of ours at all, but carried the words of their fathers unto the Scythians proving the words of Thūnoraz which he said that the promises to the fathers will be fulfilled in the children and the hearts of each will turn unto each other. Therefore, we spoke no thing at all but read that which their fathers had written, and I, Vovfen, give account of these writings here, for I see that it must needs be that they come forward. For they will once again restore the children to the faith, and the prophecy will again be fulfilled, which says that the hearts of the fathers will turn to their children and the children of the Scythians and of Yōhannaz the prophet shall not linger in despair, but shall be a torch of righteousness.

Chapter 3

The Record of Ahzheil

The account of Ahzheil, the son of Fyōkehitial, the Sealed Brother of Yōhannaz, who came up from Aiyesholames. 
I am Ahzheil, the same who is brother to HaMashiach who has yet to come in the flesh. For I know that he will not yet come for many years, nevertheless, I am his brother and his friend. And I am father to Dōrthalia the seeress who led a sect of our people into the north. Hear my cry! Not many years have passed since Yōhothon the prophet came up from Aiyesholames, that great city of Ithziel, and with him many records have come, all engraved in stone. And this Yōhothon has taken my sister, the seeress, to wife, and in this I find great joy. I joy that in them, a great nation shall come forth. A righteous nation, and in this we have reason to rejoice. 
And I have also seen my seed that they shall spread far and wide, covering the whole face of the near earth. And they shall become a mighty and a strong people, but for a time, a loathsome and a filthy one. For their strength will be in the bow and the horse, and they shall go forward conquering many a land. But I have not room for fear, for though they will become a people of great wickedness for a time, they will become as a falcon that escapes the captivity of an unjust falconer. For I know that the day will come when the people of Yōhothon shall become one with my seed once more and will dwell in righteousness. Therefore, I write to you, my children, for I am your father, far sundered, yet I am your father nonetheless. 
I will establish for you, if you can forbear me, the gospel in its entirety insofar as is necessary for you. 
You have left the truth, my children, but fear not! It was made known unto me long before what you would be in need of by HaElohim, for they are eternally merciful. I know that these words will come forth by one of my children, a one who is prepared in secret by Yehovah to restore the remainder of my children to the truth. Therefore, I give it! Blessed be the name of Yehovah for it! 
I give no further preamble. I see that you have fallen into apostasy regarding your lineage. Not of your earthly lineage, but of the heavenly lineage, yet those two may be the same, you are children of Elohim, though you may call them by different names, yet they are the same. Father Sky and Earth Mother. They have borne you and have nurtured you. They are not a far distant deity as are the gods of the Assyrians, Nay! They are your lineage as sure as I am. 
Wake up to this, I beg. As this record comes forth, you walk not in the truths of Elohim, but you stay in the trails of Sert, the demon spirit. This cannot do. The paths of Elohim are just and true. You walk in the ways of sorcerers and mages, witches and jackals. They are your gods, and you forsook the higher calling. 
I bestow upon you, my children, a remembrance, for it is the goal of HaSatan to pervert the true Way, removing true and plain doctrines and confusing the rest. This way in which you stray has been a companion for you. You wear Urim and see Thummim and activate the powers of the spirit, ever seeking a higher order through that which cannot give you order. You shall be cast out, and your Urim, which has been created in darkness, shall never see light. There are none from among you that may see. I strip this wicked array. 
Unlike so many others, you still acknowledge the spirit, but in this, you have strived with witches and warlocks. I set straight this error. In a time far distant, a great Aiy shall come and he too shall be the son of HaElohim as you are. Yet, he will be perfect and shameless. And this thing must needs be. For we are all children of HaElohim and subjects of their Chiefdom. We will become as they are, but in this current and fallen state in which we now reside, we cannot have access to the higher realms. 
This is why Meshiach should come. It is he that shall break open the portal to the higher realms that we may enter, for as of now, these realms are closed to us, for we are not worthy to enter. And when he comes, he will hang upon a tree, an Aiy slain. 
And I see in your hearts you ask how this may be? How could an Aiy be slain by men? This, his great agony, shall be a great sacrifice. Thus, it is said that Meshaich will slay himself upon the tree that all may attain those higher realms. This my children is what you have lost. You focus on the higher realms, but have not wherewith to attain these higher realms. For this, you shall be stuck down in the lower realms. But I see your hearts, for Yehovah makes them known unto me. You desire the things of the higher realms; therefore, I will teach you my children that it is through he who shall hang upon the tree that you shall gain access to those higher realms. For it is through he and he alone. 
For when he shall come among men in the flesh, he will break open the path to the realms. So, he is the Way and the only Way, and there are no other means whereby you can reach unto the higher realms. 
Be joyous, my seed, and have great faith. For you lack the foundation, the house still stands. Therefore, I say as a command, speaking as your father who has passed, and I suspect that when you shall receive these words, I shall have taken up a higher plain, so I give a command that you clear out the house in which you live. Clean it out and dust up the spider webs. And when you have done this, cause that this house you have be to be moved from its foundation of straw and grass onto one of granite, and this do you in the name of the Son of the Sky Father and of the Earth Mother. Tread upon his ways and not in the ways of the great opposer. 
I also see in a time far distant that your teachings shall have become somewhat askew. This is not an uncommon thing, but has had many occurrences. So, I, with the guidance of Heiml, shall set to correct many of these false truths and corrupted doctrines, and when these words shall come forth among you, you will begin to seek the ways of the Tree Aiy, and he will it be that shall aid you in correcting these doctrines. 
Many claim among you that it shall be Sky Father himself that shall hang and die upon the tree. This is in gross error. It is that the Sky Father and Earth Mother both have attained that state to which we now strive. They have prior lived and died and shall die no more. That it is that Lōk, that god of confusion, has sought to replace the true doctrine with this falsehood. It shall not be Vōdezaza who shall hang, no, but his son who is the Tree Aiy. He it is that shall hang, and with his sacrifice, the realms shall be opened. Sky Father nor Sky Mother can die again. 
I also see that you have erred in regards to the tree by which he will hang. For you claim that it is by the tree of death that he shall hang, for it is by and through death that he will open the gates. It is not by death that the gates shall be opened, but by life. All men die; there is not in this thing. It is by life that Yehovah Meshiach shall open the gates of life everlasting. This is the truth, my children. When a man dies, he must leave his body behind to perish and canker into the ground, for he has not wherewith to ascend to that higher plane. Therefore, he must be trapped a prisoner for his crimes. 
But it is by the coming of the Tree Aiy that man may again take his body back up again and live forever. For yes, when Tree Aiy shall come, he will perish, that is true. But it is in his taking up again of his body that the greatness shall be fulfilled. Not in the death, but in the casting out of death. This is the great mystery whereby all men may come to the knowledge of the realms above. 
But I must bid farewell, my seed. For I have not much time left, and the setting down of my body must speedily come. Nevertheless, I cause my son to write that which I could not. Farewell, my children.

Chapter 4

The Record of Zhamaz

I am Zhamaz, son of Ahzheil and prince of the chiefdom of Hyarziraz. I come to you my seed in great writing, for I fear that if I do not, you must invariably be lost. Therefore, I write. 
My father has asked me to recount the many visions which he had. My father was not strong in writing nor in tongue. He could neither read well nor write the things of his heart. Therefore, I write that which he has commanded me. 
It shall be according to the words of my father that a nation shall flee away from my seed and shall take their dwellings in the lands far west. For they will be guided and led to a great land, a land of our very distant forefathers. A land which shall not have been inhabited by the children of Mesves for a long while. Thus, Yehovah will take them and guide them to the lands west. And in this they shall join with the seed of that Lehaiy who was with Yōhothon in Aiyesholames. And this my father saw was to become a great nation, even an one that could not be rivaled. For the children of that Lehaiy shall have dwindled for a time in unbelief, nevertheless, Elohim shall cause a great seer to be born among their kinsmen and he shall begin again a mighty restoration among them and by the time my words and the words of my seed shall be established, the seed of Lehaiy shall have begun in earnest to establish all righteousness upon the face of their great land. 
Nevertheless, my seed and the seed of my brethren shall not be as righteous. For they will have dwindled entirely in sin, for they will have forsaken their oaths and covenants for that of heathen gods of war and death. And they shall go forward in this gross error for many generations, knowing nothing but war and decay, using up the good of the earth to make instruments of death and destruction. And this they will do in a chase for a god and a realm they know not. And this god and this realm shall be those of death and sacrifice of others. Wherefore, the Aiy of Trees shall come and proclaim all men that they must sacrifice themselves for the good of others; this heathen god shall require that they sacrifice others for the good of themselves. 
I cry unto you, my seed, the seed of my father, repent. You do not know the god you worship. He will take upon himself the likeness of Yehovah and Vōdezaza, but he will only be a blank and pale imitation of them. You do not worship Sky Father and Tree Son or Earth Mother. You worship the great serpent. 
What Aiy would require a choice people to slaughter a non-choice people in order to attain the realms above? I say a god of death and doom. A usurper who desires suffering. Thus, it is that since you have chosen to follow great serpent who wears the mask of Tree Aiy, you shall be the cause of much death and heartache for many. And this you must face up to. No, Sky Father did not order the death of these, his children, by your hands. No, you will not attain realms above through death and slaughter, no matter how noble you proclaim your cause. You have been deceived! 
Nevertheless, fear not, for did I not proclaim that the words of my father were that you would become a great nation? I did, so I command you to cast out this pretender from your midst. Let him have no place among you. When you do this, it shall be as my father has spoken; you shall become a people of peace and not a people of war. 
You will be among the first on this earth to set down your weapons and take up the higher road. You will cast away your sword and proclaim peace unto a world filled to the overflowing with death and violence. And in this, I see that you will overcome a great many obstacles. For your love of the Tree Aiy, and for that, you will have the call of your ancestors inside you. 
You will take these things and with them shall establish a city of peace, a beacon unto the whole world. And the false gods shall have their weapons removed and will be replaced in their entirety by Sky Father and Earth Mother, and their names will no longer be used as an idol for domination, but as a beacon of peace. 
Be of good cheer, my children, for when this will happen, you will join with other nations, those of which who are they that came out of Aiyesholames and also those who came out of Harethal in days long past. For you are both of Aiyesholames and of Harethal. I am Zhamaz, and I am a Scythian. And I am the son of Ahzheil the prophet, and Ahzheil is the son of Bahelhar, and Bahelhar is the son of Vergacin. And Vergacin is the child of Elōhizar, and Elōhizar is the offspring of Vergacin, and Vergacin is the son of Āhaz the seer. And Āhaz is a descendant of Mesves, who was the son of Mesves, who was the son of Nōh. 
And this Mesves, who is our father, was who it was that came out of the lands of Harethal at the time that the great tower unto heaven was built. And Mesves was a mighty man, strong in speech and in writing and great was his faith, so great that when Elohim confounded the language and destroyed the tower, Mesves pleaded with his Aiy that his people may be preserved and Elohim, or as they were called at the time, Elohimus, had mercy on Mesves and his people and he led them to a new land where their language was not confounded. And an account of Mesves and his people shall be given hereafter in another account, for their works were many and are too many to truthfully be recorded here, but they were righteous, and you, my seed, are their children. And you are also come out of Aiyesholames. For you are a descendant of that Yōhothon who fled the destruction for his righteousness. And an account of his genealogy will not be given here, for he has his own records. And I know that they will come forward at some time. 
Suffice it to say that Yōhothon is a righteous man and is a descendant of that Menahshes who is brother to Efehimases, and we are also descendants of that Efehimases; therefore, my seed, you are the house of Yūzefes and Mesves. Therefore, righteousness is in your very blood. Yet as stated, when this record shall be revealed unto that man by Yehovah, who is in secret, you will be toiling in blood and will be warring for the destruction of all but your own. 
Yet, when this record will be revealed, for Elohim makes known all things, you will flock to it and will read these words and know that they are true and just, and you will begin again to cut down your idols and take up the way of your forefathers which are the ways of righteousness. And when you do this, you will become a beacon and a light to many, for HaElohim will give you this record and many others which they shall cause to be translated by their holy power. And much righteousness will be fulfilled in you, and this according to the visions of my father, which are many. 
Likewise, my father saw that these things will happen at a great and terrible day, when the earth will be used for her goods and will be covered crust to crust in turmoil and anguish. So I give a command unto you, my seed, for we have been caretakers of the earth for many centuries, for my father and his father were herders of cattle and sheep and we tilled and watched over the earth, for she is a precious creation of HaElohim. 
For this reason, I give command that you till the earth in righteousness and steward over her elements not for greed nor want of provender, but to be in harmony and to care for a sister and fellow creation. All that is in her is all that is in us and if we consume her in lust and greed she will not. So, we will not. And this shall be a show of great faith in that day, for when you do this, you will have the very Aiy of Hosts to be your guide and they shall dwell with you and you will again walk upon the ways of your fathers and not upon the ways of the great adversary. 
And in this you will be a blessing and a light to all nations upon the face of the earth and there will be many who will join with you, for they will feel the call of their ancestors and they will again seek the face of the Aiyseir of the mighty Host. And in so doing, their men will see and their women will prophecy. And you will join together with them, for they are they who fled from Harethal and from Aiyesholames. 
And when this, they will carry with them their records which have been hidden from the wicked in safe keeping. Then will Aiy Elohim cause a great flood to cover the earth. Not a flood of water, but of fire and Heiml and great knowledge will cover the face of all nations once again. My father has seen it, and I have seen it. My mother has been shown it as has Yōhothon the seer, and we know the surety of it. 
Therefore, look up, my seed, for though you may be in despair at this time, we shall give you call from the great beyond and through the generations our prayers will be heard. 
Elohim, I cry unto the souls of my generations which shall be many that they will hear my voice, even the voice of their father calling from the dust. This is my mighty prayer, Elohim, and I record it that all my generations may know of a surety that they are come out of Aiyesholames by that Yōhothon. And they are also come out of Feiginept by that Elōhizar the seer who brought with him many of the records of the Efehimasi. That they will also know that they came out of the land of Harethal by that Mesves, that grandchild of Nōh. 
Let them know, oh Elohim that their blood is the blood of prophets and chieftains, seers and seeresses. Peace flows through their veins. And though the combinations of Qayin shall try to oppose them, in the end they will be an instrument, a lyre played calling all to the lands of peace. This is my prayer. 
It was in the year fifty that my father passed away, he being a righteous man to the end and it was with sadness that I and my siblings along with our children and their children and yet even few of their children prayed as he crossed over the wall. Yet it is with great joy that I declare that all the children of my father save the very young were able to come up in ceremony for all had sought the Way of their Redeemer. And in this we all danced the dance of everlasting joy, and my father joined with us, and his father and mother and all the generations joyed together as one, for yet another child of Mesves had passed through the veil and become a chief and a seer in the chiefdom of Elohim forever. 
And though it was sad, yet we joyed, for we know that whenever a man or woman passes beyond the wall in righteousness, they shall be kept in those righteous ways everlasting. And after the ceremony was finished we all went in unto our homes and I and my bride had also grown old, yet our time was not yet 
And when we had joined together and become as one, we had established a home and this home we have carried with us wherever we have gone on this our mother earth. And our children were born in this home and also some of their children, for my wife is a great healer and this home has been the abode of many of our ancestors, both perfected and in spirit. And this home is a place of comfort so much that I am with great joy knowing that I will spend out the rest of my days in it, and I know that I will pass with joy more knowing that I have done all the work required of me. 
And my far distant seed, is this not joy? Is it not joy to build a home with the woman you love and rear your children and behold them step upon the paths of Adonai and become prophets and seers themselves? Therefore, I say seek this life, for it is joy. Come no more up in great wars and arms. Seek no more continual death, but everlasting life. Be righteous, my children, and we will meet each other when you step through that great wall between us and heaven. This is joy.

Chapter 5

The Record of Yocthan

Greetings, I am Yocthan the son of Ahzheil the brother of Zhamaz, and I have somewhat to say before I pass the scrolls on to my son and his son that they may keep the records together, for I married the sister of Zhamaz's wife who is named Elōhiel, and her sister is named Elōhina, my wife. And our children have grown close since they were yet young, and with the grace of El they have agreed to take up the records together as one and they have become sealed brothers as had Ahzheil and Yōhothon. And I know that this is a grand purpose in El. 
Nevertheless, I give but a short count as El has commanded me. For so it was that in the year fifty-seven of the time after Yohothon had come out of Aiyesholames that Elōhina my wife died, and this caused me much grief. And though I was joyous at her everlasting, yet I was grievously injured, for hers was a hand I had held for many years. Yet, while in the ceremony of her passing, the El called me up and I ceased my dancing and beheld many great things concerning my seed and the seed of my kinsmen. For it shall come to pass that after nearly five hundred years have passed, the son of El will come in power and great glory, and this I saw and bear record, for he will be born to a virgin, knowing no man. And it shall be Heiml that will conceive the son of El, and he will be entirely perfect, having already attained to that level of El, being co-equal with them, and this I know. 
When he come, he will make a journey up to see my seed and the seed of Yōhothon the prophet and this son will spend much time with us teaching us in the ways of El, and will teach us many more grand things, which things cannot be uttered. Nevertheless, he will be called to other places and become a minister unto those people, and for a time he will leave us. 
And during this time of absence, he will grow a mighty following, and this following will be twelve strong, and they will go about the lands of Yehūdah and perform many great works according to the will of El. And through him the blind will see and the deaf will hear and the dead will arise forth from the dust. And when his work here on this side of the wall is complete, he will hang upon a mighty tree, and this he will do that all joy might be fulfilled. And in this, the barriers between the realms shall quake and rip asunder, and he will join together the realms that they might be one, or, that those in them shall be one. And after he has accomplished this work, he will return unto this people and all around him shall be the quaking of storms and fire, and lightning shall be in his eye, therefore, he shall be called Pūnkes, the prince of thunder. And when he returns unto the seed of my people, he will establish them in his righteousness forever and ever. 
And it has been said that he will call twelve from among his own, yet so shall he do with us, and he will call twelve from among my posterity and shall call twelve from among Yōhothon's posterity, and they shall join together as one and twelve shall be called from among them even until there will be twelve councils of twelve. And they will journey, all being called by the El prophets and seers, and I foresee that this great thing shall also be had among the nations of the earth, and great will be that day in the El. So be it.

Chapter 6

And it came to pass that after I, Vovfen, had finished reading the record which Ahzheil had translated by the hand of the Aiyseir, that many of the bands of the Scythians of the city fell to their knees, for they knew in their hearts that the words which were read had been true. Nevertheless, many more there were that came up in mockery and scorn, and proclaimed among each other that we were liars and that the many gods they worshiped were indeed gods of war. 
And there was one woman in particular who was a seeress for the enemy. And I name her not. Yet, the seeress stood above the multitude arrayed in the robes of the Sydeir and was adorned with a Fire Urim great to behold. 
And I could decern the spirit inside her, a malevolent demon giving her utterance. And as she strode forward with sight given her by the malevolent spirit, she proclaimed this and all heard: Wo unto you Vovfen son of Aiynar, for you and your band are but liars and thieves come to steal our wealth and our many records. And I know that your lineage is to that great Hennen who stole from us our records and perverted them for his own ends. Behold, Vovfen, and I see your heart that it is as dark as ash and your intentions are to cajole and to lead my people into Hel as did your forefathers. For they were men of Hel and peace. I proclaim this unto all, for I am a seeress of the goddess Bahalia, hear me and rejoice, for the words which these men have said are folly and of the adversary which is that great serpent Yōrmongond, and it is he and the trickster who desire us to be lead into this path, for it is they that know that peace is the path of cowards and shall lead your souls to Hel. Therefore, remove them, I command you, for their words are dross. 
And when the seeress had said these words, a frenzy came over the onlookers, and each man and each woman drew whatever weapon they had to hand, and this they did for the word of the seeress and the malevolent spirit. And so it was that despite the many things I had both seen and heard, I began to fear in my heart. Nevertheless, the spirit of the Aiyseir were with us, and there came a great voice from Athalaz, saying: Fear not, my children, for their swords and their bows are as the winter gales unto you and can cause you no harm. 
Therefore, our hearts were glad. And when the throng pressed forward, the pulse of Thūnoraz filled our bodies, and Ahzheil stepped forward and it was as if lighting flew from his fingers so great was the power of the Aiyseir in him. 
And the throng stopped, dropping their weapons of war. And when this, I stepped forward as one with Heimalaz and spoke the mighty words that he placed into my heart which were these: Behold, as I live, I declare that Thūnoraz himself strives with us. Therefore, stand back, or you will surly feel his wrath. 
And when this, the lot became sore afraid, for the very power of Thūnoraz began to surge around us. And I defied the seeress of Bahalia, saying: You are a fiend and a liar and are possessed of a malevolent spirit. I command you to cease deceiving this people at once or justice shall fall upon your head as a mighty hammer. 
And she defied me, saying: I am no liar or stranger to this people, Vovfen son of Aiynar. I did not come to this people proclaiming to them wicked and blasphemous things, that was you. Therefore, stand down and leave this people, lest the gods see you as an offender and cause that we slay you. Now, I know that Yōtons of Sert speak through you, for they are liars and deceivers from the beginning. 
And I withstood her blows, saying: I am Vovfen son of Aiynar and I am a seer of the Aiylōhyme. And they have sent me here to proclaim unto this people the wrongness of their ways and the wickedness of their hearts. And I proclaim that the Aiy are not a people of war, that make war on the righteous, but that is Bielzeb who was a liar from the beginning. It is he who makes war on the righteous. 
And now, after invoking the unknowable name of Sert and Yōrmongond as one, the people knew I spoke with the power of Thūnoraz, for he alone has the power to invoke the secret name of the wicked. For it had been hidden. 
And the throng ceased their pressing forward and cast away their weapons of war, fearing to come near us. And I proclaimed with a loud voice that all may hear: I am Vovfen, son of Aiynar, and with me is Ahzheil, who was a mighty one among you. Even he has seen the foolishness of your ways and forsaken your paths. For it was given of him by the Aiylōhyme to know truth from error, and he knows that the gods you worship are the wicked Yōtons of the records. And the records have been changed to suit their needs and the needs of the combinations of Lōk, for their needs are that of war. For even now there is war raging all about, even at your doormat, and this is to suit the needs of the rich, for they desire gain, and their ways are murder and plunder, and their magyk is the magyk of blood and oaths. Therefore, I cast the veil covering them away that you might know them as they are, fiends of the night who have perverted the true doctrine of Thūnoraz for their own ends. 
And I cast my hand towards the palace of the chieftain of the city, for I knew then by the power of my sight that he watched our works through councils deep. 
And I proclaimed: Your chief has abandoned your ways, for he sits in council with your enemies, plotting the overthrow of your great nation. And now, he has the kings of the west and the south in meeting, for it is their design to destroy this people. And this chief has consecrated himself as a servant of these far-distant nations that he might be preserved through the destruction of his own people. Slay him not, for righteous judgment must prevail, but go into his quarters and you will find him conspiring with those he has professed to hate. 
And there were those that believed on my words and speedily pressed towards the palace. And no battle broke out between the people and the guards, for the guards were curious about my words. And so it was that as the more righteous entered the chambers of the chief, they found many leaders from stranger nations that had been snuck in under the cover of night. And the people of the city were sore angry with the chief, for he had lied to them and proclaimed war against these nations while yet preserving himself through deals and oaths to their seers and high men. 
Thus, it came to pass that the envoys from those nations and most especially the chief were brought before me and my brethren and knowing in my heart that the Aiyseir had raised Ahzheil to lead this people, thus he stepped forward and spoke, saying: It is as Vovfen has said, for Heimalaz has given him sight not through flame. And he has yet revealed that our leaders and the kings of foreign nations conspire against us that they may rule and reign over us. And in this, the Aiyseir have sought to uncover their combinations, which was led by Lōk. And this that they might murder and get gain and rule one above another. And I cry, my people, is this cowardice? 
And the people cried aloud with one voice: Aiy! And Ahzheil said: Then you must see that this doctrine that has been had among you is folly, for your leaders do not themselves follow it, but go off in cowardice and plot against their own people. Now, there are those among you who have felt the movements of Heimalaz within you, and to you I say, stand with us, for Thūnoraz is with us, and we are with him. And now you must know that his doctrine is one of peace, for thus we have proclaimed it, and if he is with us, even to the giving of Vovfen such great sight as to uncover the veil of the adversary, then surely you must know that his truth is a one of peace. 
And there came a cry of Aiy from the people. Thus it was that flame and lightning descended upon the people of the city, and a great outpouring of rain, which rain received in Ohrther the very pure in heart. And lo, there was no fire kindled by man, a great fire arose from the pits of the seer places, insomuch that as many desired received the visions of Heimalaz. And lo, despite all this, there were those that still sought the ways of war, and they took their chief and those kings of strange nations with them to flee, and where they fled, I know not. 
But so it was that there was so great an outpouring that amidst the storm, the colored bridge appeared in the sky, and the power of Thūnoraz was all about. And the rain had no power over the great fires as to snuff them out, yet they continued, even being bolstered by the rain, for the rains were the very rains of sanctification, and the fires were the fires of purification. 
Thus, it was that amid all this, there came a voice from Athalaz, and all heard it, and it was the voice of the All Father and the All Mother together. And their voice was joined as one, and we record it. And these are their words: Behold, my beloved children, and look to the skies. 
And we all looked and were sore amazed, for there in the sky was a man, and he was in pattern and scale after ourselves, yet greater, and lightning illuminated his skin, which shone blue like the stars. And the voice of the Aiylōhyme spoke: This is my beloved son whom your fathers saw and wrote. And he came into the world but poor and meek and lowly of heart. Yet, in his name I am greatly pleased, for through him are all the people of the realms joined together as one. 
And we beheld the bridge, that it stretched into heaven, and on it came many horses all in white cloth, which is the armor of peace and not war. And upon them sat the Valkyr of Athalaz, which being interpreted, is servants of Her. And they came down and ministered among us and taught us many things which can neither be read nor written save by those who dance in the flames. And because I cannot write these things, I cry unto all that read this, seek the Aiy, for they can only give utterance of these things. And I would that my posterity should receive them. 
Nevertheless, as they came down and ministered, Thūnoraz himself descended upon us, and these were his words: Blessed are you children of the Aiyseir! For in no time at all, you have forsaken your wicked ways and sought out the ways of peace. Never have I seen such great faith from among your people. Blessed are you, for you will ever walk in the ways of peace. And lo, I have ascended to my Father who is in the skies, I will dwell with you continually, for a people of such great faith cannot be hid behind the wall. Therefore, I will show unto you all things, even as I have done with your fathers before you. And you will know your ancestors, and they shall dwell with you, and you with them. And this great promise I give unto you because of your faith, that inasmuch as they (your seed) accept me as I am and not as men say, your seed shall have the lightning to be their friend and a guide, which lightning is mine, says your Aiy. And this is a great promise also, that there will always be those among your seed who shall walk on the ways of truth and glory, and never shall your seed entirely dwindle in unbelief. Therefore, have comfort, you people of Aiy, and rejoice, for inasmuch as you shall stay in my paths, you will ascend unto higher realms as I have, and my Father before me. 
And then the crowd was greatly amazed, and all fell upon their face, for the glory of Thūnoraz was much to bear. And in that very moment, the fire consumed us entirely and we were transfigured before the Aiy, and Heimalaz took us, and we ascended such was the promise of the Son. And we sat in councils great and saw and heard more which cannot be discussed. But suffice it to say that the oath was fulfilled which Thūnoraz gave to Ahzheil son of Fyōkenhital which said that his seed would never entirely dwindle in unbelief unto destruction. 
And it came to pass that after Thūnoraz had said these words, he proclaimed Ahzheil to step forward. And as Ahzheil did, Thūnoraz spoke these words: Behold, my children of Svemaz, this man is a righteous man and has sought no power, unlike your many chiefs who have been wicked. Therefore, let this man be an example before you, for it is necessary that any people should have those who's stewardship is to guide. From now on, let no more of those oaths of old get above you which come about by and through unbridled ambition, but let your chiefs and priests be like Ahzheil who is soft and lowly in heart. Therefore, I bless him and consecrate him as a chief and a priest among you. Let him be an example to you. 
And then Thūnoraz called forward Thessessa, a woman from among the Scythians. And it came to pass that Thessessa was sore afraid, but Thūnoraz smiled at her a kind smile and said: Thessessa, fear not, for I know your heart that it has changed and has become soft and pliable like unto mine. So, I bid you, come forward. 
And that she did. And she went and kneeled before her Creator. And so it was that Thūnoraz said: Arise Thessessa, and I give you a new name, even the name of the first mother which is Emalō which is righteousness in me, for you shall be as a mother and a caretaker unto this people. See to it that they always walk in proper Sydeir. 
And Emalō wept before her creator and pleaded with him, asking: Aiyseir, Lord, how is it done? For I was wicked and full of hatred and lust. 
And Thūnoraz said: It is done by the sacrifice which I made in the great garden of life and upon the tree which is life everlasting. For I have hung there and was perished for three days, and on the morning of the third day arose, taking upon myself the form which you see now, for I am made perfect in the All-Father and Mother, and I am in them and they are in me. Thus it is that your transgressions have been forgiven you. 
So it was that Thūnoraz, Aiy of thunder and storms and creator of all reached down, taking Emalō by the hand and rose her up. And as he did this, she beheld a multitude of scars upon his body, and again wept and pleaded: Aiyseir, Lord, what are these that cover your body? Are you not made perfect in Aiy? Why then are you covered in scars as if from battle? 
And Thūnoraz gave a tender smile, for Emalō had become a tender heart. And he said: These you see are not scars given as if in battle, but are the scars of sacrifice and sacrifice eternal. And I shall bear them until the day when I shall take up a realm higher and my parents shall take up a realm higher. And all they that were with me shall take up a realm higher, for I have borne them as I have borne these scars. They are a symbol and a covenant unto you that I will never abandon you, and that all, both bond and free, male and female, chief and slave may come unto me, for I have borne them all. And I do not respect the chief as any different than the slave, for I am both chief and slave, servant and master. And so shall all they who join together with me, for we shall all be sealed brothers in the Aiylōhyme. 
And when we shall ascend together as one, taking upon ourselves the glory of the Aiyseir, then in that day shall my scars which I have borne fade into me, for all will become one and perfect without spot nor blemish. This is why, my dear Emalō, I carry these scars, for I have borne your transgressions for you that you may join me. 
And again, Emalō fell to her knees weeping, for she knew that she had caused an Aiyseir to bleed and die. Nevertheless, Thūnoraz commanded her to stand. And as she did, she grew in confidence and stood before her Maker with zeal in her eyes. 
Then we all saw and bear witness that mighty Friggō, the All-Mother of the earth, descended from her throne and placed her hands upon Emalō's head and proclaimed: This is my daughter, flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone. And I seal her unto me forever and ever, and I proclaim you as sealed sister as I have done with your other mothers before you. Lift up your head, oh daughter, and proclaim the truth of peace. 
And many more things were said which I do not write. And when this, the Aiy knew that we were tired and so left us to rest, although we know they will never abandon us as is our promise. And thus, it was that after many great things had been both seen and done, that we rested, being no longer able to abide the presence of the Aiy.

Chapter 7

Thus, it was that in the following weeks after all had recovered sufficiently that a meeting was called together, and I and Farzhid were there, as was Emalō and Ahzheil, her brother with her. Then did I bring forward the records which the seers of the Aiyanthi had translated, and Ahzheil brought forward his records, and we joined them as one and beheld that they were the continuation of the first, and that the records together stretched from that time that our father Svemaz had left Harethal down until the separation of the people of Hennen. And we beheld that we were all related down by a common ancestor, which ancestor was Svemaz, father of Elohimus the seer, who was named 'Shining' by the Aiylōhyme. And we know this record to be true, for surely Svemaz is our first father and our common ancestor. Thus, we joined the records together, and great be our Aiy for it. 
So, it was also that in that great council, we discussed the many things of Aiy which we had been taught, and we knew that his place must soon become a place of great war and death. Thus, the conclusion was made that to avoid the wars that would soon befall all of Scythia, the tribe of Ahzheil, as so they were called, not because of Ahzheil, brother of Emalō, but because of Ahzheil, who was their common father. So it was that the people of Ahzheil left, taking what little possessions they may need, which were few. And they left the lands of their forefathers, and a great exodus began. And while in this journey, I took Thessessa, who was named Emalō First Mother to wife, and great was my joy unto the Aiy because of it. 
Now, I would write concerning our travels which we took from the lands of Scyth to the lands which were called Byirkenhōl, the place of Birch, for along the way, and nevertheless the Aiyseir having been good to us, we faced many hardships. Nevertheless, Aiylōhyme be praised, for the many miracles which we saw in our journey. Thus, I begin my account of the travels of the people of Ahzheil. 
So it was that as we took our journey into the north and to the west, for so was the direction that the Aiyseir called us to go, there were those that began to be hard in their hearts because of us. For it was that among those who had been angry and fled from before the righteous of Thūnoraz, was a man named Aeseil. 
Now, this Aeseil was a man of great power, having been called by Sert himself to be a seer and a prophet in his unrighteous kingdom. And this Aeseil was who it was that had led the chief and the councilors from those foreign nations away into the wilderness. And so it was that he had sought the councils of a man named Fingōl, a man from the north who was a wicked man. And they counseled deep, and hid their discussions from the world; thus it is that I bring this meeting to light. 
Nevertheless, many things were discussed, including the deposition of the chief and the flight of the people of Ahzheil. Now this caused a great stir among the inhabitants of the land round about, for they were made aware of our presence and our passings. Also, this Fingōl was given charge of that band of Scythians, for he was a chief of a band of tribesmen to the north, and Aeseil having set him up as a leader unto both nations. And the decree was sent out among the lords of Scythia to track our movements and hinder our paths, that we may succumb to destruction. 
Therefore, I wish to proclaim unto all that even in my days, the combinations of Lōk are strong and mighty, and there are many who seek the ambitions of Sert who is an enemy of the Aiyseir and has been fallen and ever shall be until such time as he is cast out to become a hiss and a byword among the realms, and shall have no power any longer to harass the children of men. This time is not yet, however, and he remains a great enemy, and Yōrmongond with him. 
And now, after the decree was sent out from among the council to the tribes, bands, and nations round about, there came many who were desirous to slay us, for Fengōl had promised great wealth and power to any who might bring him our corpses. And in this, I see that our flight mirrored somewhat that of Hennen, our father, for a band too had also set against him to slay him and his people. Nevertheless, the Aiyseir forestalled the enemy, and Hennen was preserved and protected. This thing brought much comfort to me, and I shared the miracle of the rainbow bridge with the people of Ahzheil and proclaimed the goodness of Thūnoraz in defense of my fathers, insomuch that it gave them courage, and they no longer feared the wiles of our adversaries. 
Yet, as we pressed forward through the lands of the Scythians, so they were called, as this band of righteous no longer considered themselves Scythians. Nevertheless, as we pressed onward, there began to be many sightings upon hills and in the trees of stalking bands of tribesmen who had taken up the cause of Aeseil. Yet, we pushed forward without fear and did not harass the tribesmen, and in this was a great miracle, for truly Thūnoraz is an Aiy of peace, for at this point none attacked us because we carried no weapons nor armor save some small bows for food and hunting. Therefore, we had nothing of value or anything which would denote us as enemies, and many left us be.

Chapter 8

And it came to pass that at the end of the day, we made a camp in a clearing and upon a hill, and this that we might make oblations unto the Aiyseir. And we built a large ring of stones in the shape of the Aiy that we may build a fire, for it was given us to go up in Sydeir that night. Now, I had not as yet crafted myself a Fire Urim and had used my hand only to see. Nevertheless, that Thessessa who was named Emalō came unto me as I prepared my place in the Sydeir place and gave unto me a crown of horns which she had crafted upon our journey. And this Fire Urim was beautiful, and the craftsmanship was beyond any I had seen. And I thanked her for the gift and bid her to sit next to me, and she did as the fire keepers caused a mighty roaring swell to rise. We went up on Sydeir together, and these are the things which we saw. 
We both beheld the people of Ahzheil, that they had become mighty in this land of promise to which we were going. For they had become industrious, and had many large buildings, yet none so grand that they came up in the pride of their hearts, for they were a righteous people, having all things common among them as with the children of Hennen. And we saw that they had kept many records which carried with them the visions and the miracles and the prophecies of their forefathers. And we saw that they, like our fathers before, kept a Book of Remembrances among them, and they were a people of great joy. 
Now and according to our vision, there were in the lands round about many wars and desolations which caused great turmoil in the hearts of the people. And among those people was a assembly of great stature, strange and mighty to behold. And it proclaimed to carry the gospel of a savior who had died. Now, we knew this savior to be Thūnoraz who came, nevertheless, lo they carried his name they were a people and a assembly of great violence and hatred, and they forced the people and the many tribes of the land to believe as they did or be put to death, and according to our vision, the people of Ahzheil feared this greatly and sought the Aiyseir earnestly for the welfare of their souls. For, while this assembly carried the name of Thūnoraz, they were not from him and sought the subjugation of the whole world. 
So it shall be, and we saw that when this assembly came up into the land near about the land of Ahzheil, the people fled once again that they might escape the ravages of war, and a people who called Thūnoraz a god of war. Now, we did not see what shall become of the people of Ahzheil, but we saw the spreading of this assembly that it covered the entire face of the land, and with it, many weeping's and sorrows, for they could not tolerate any peoples who believed not as they. And they called them foreigners and strangers and simpletons and barbarians. And in this, they brought with them what they claimed was civilization proper and subjected all to it. 
And I also beheld my own people, the people of Hennen, that they too fled the gluttony of this assembly. And the land became desolate, and many mighty cities were raised in the place of forests and streams, and the people were cut off from the spirits of nature, and with the Aiyseir. And this assembly brought too a book which at one time had been pure and holy like unto our writings. Yet, they corrupted this book, removing many of the good truths of Thūnoraz and the Aiyseir. And they taught of consumption and greed and to use up the good of our mother Earth for their gods had given it them for their sakes. 
And we saw that there were those of our kin who took upon themselves the oaths of old and took up the cause of death and war to fight for the defense of the peoples of the land, and for their own gain. Yet, at their head were men of the oaths of Lōk, which thing is abominable. And they made the gospel of Thūnoraz a one of war and death and went to war against this assembly that the old ways might be preserved, and in this manner shall all things upon the land be consumed in greed and war and violence. 
Nevertheless, we beheld the children of Lehaiy that they kept the ways of Thūnoraz despite the hardship. And a Vyaneir came unto us and proclaimed his name of Lehaiy, even that kin of Yōhannaz our father, and he proclaimed that this assembly should also consume his own seed and that because of it and the many combinations of the adversary, all would be in commotion. But, behold, he spoke and showed us a seer, and this seer shall be the cause of much restoration, but even his doctrines should be corrupted, and that people should also become a people of war and death. And this shall be a thing of shame, for they will have received the record of the seed of Lehaiy. 
And I saw many things also concerning that seed which have to do with this record, they shall receive. And I know that it is a record of a people destroyed and consumed by war. Nevertheless, they will become a people like this assembly from the south, and even the seed of Svemaz, for they will come up in war, and they shall see their god as one of war and consumption, even as do all other people. And this thing shall be a shame, but nevertheless, we beheld that because of this people, the Aiylōhyme shall begin the restoration of all things, and it will be soon thereafter as if there was no war and no greed having consumed all, for Aiylōhyme will restore all unto their proper order. This is the vision that we saw while in Sydeir, and we know the truthfulness of it and we both bear witness of this thing. 
Yet it was that as we returned, there came runners from below calling to us and giving us warning of a hostile group having spotted us, and moving towards us. And being so filled with Heimalaz as we were, we offered up a mighty prayer unto the Aiyseir for our sakes, and the sakes of this people. 
So it was that as we offered up our prayers that there came a heavy rain and it descended upon us greatly, and so great was this rain that the fields around our camp began to flood so that none could find purchase there. And the tribes that came to hurt us at the call of that Fengōl found that they could not cross the field to the hill so great was the flooding, and I proclaim that that hill was protected from the floods insomuch that no damage nor harm came to any of the people of Ahzheil. While the rains yet poured, we all gathered around the Sydeir pit although the fire could not start, and we offered a mighty prayer of thanksgiving unto Aiylōhyme and sang praises unto the Aiyseir all the night long. 
And when the morning came and the rains abated, we saw that no warrior could harm us and this was a great thing. And when the rains had abated, we stood waiting for the flooding to dry, and this took many days insomuch that we began to run low on food, yet, in spite of the hunger, we knew that the miracle had been from the Aiyseir and we praised them.

Chapter 9

It came to pass that two or three weeks passed before the waters had dried sufficiently for us to take our leave. And we left upon this hill those stones of the Sydeir circle as an edifice of gratitude that any passing may know of the great miracle that had occurred. When those waters had dried, and we could again begin our journey, more was the miracle, for the forests had been filled with nourishing foods of all kinds, with nuts and berries and leaves all good for eating. And we feasted that night and danced in Sydeir for the many blessings which we had received. 
And we traveled again northwestward towards the land given us. And as it was that that Aeseil had heard and seen our movements and was angered and caused another effort to slay us. Thus, after six or so weeks of travel, there came many tribes people all desiring the great reward which had been promised. Praise be unto the Aiyseir, nevertheless, these tribesmen began to slaughter the animals of the forest and to set fire to the trees that they might cut us off and starve us that we might become weak. And this was a hard thing, for we had long ago run out of provisions. 
And I say praise unto Aiylōhyme, for although we were overcome with great famine for the space of some time, yet, there began to spring forth in abundance mushrooms that were not in season, and they came forth from the charred earth for our sustenance. And thus we knew that the Aiylōhyme were still with us. Those mushrooms were sweet to the taste and filled our bellies insomuch that the famine departed, and we thus joyed one with another. 
Now, it was about this time when my mother and her sister began their journey, for they were commanded in a dream to leave their place of work and return again to their homelands. And it was that our paths intersected and we met by the grace of the Aiyseir, and there was much joying as we met, for despite our hardships, all were in good health. And my mother told me of the many things that had occurred while she and her sister had labored, having won only a few souls. Those few souls, however, were mighty and strong in Sydeir, having protected my mother and her sister from the roaming wild tribes round about. 
Now, as we heard the story of my mother and her sister, we began to be filled with much sorrow for the plight of the Scythians. Insomuch that my now wife Emalō began to weep, for my mother's story was a harrowing tale. I will not recount it here, for my aunt has written it in a different place on wood tablets. It suffices me to say that they endured much trauma and trial at the hands of the Scythians. Nevertheless, the Aiyseir were with them and delivered them without much harm. 
Thus, after the meeting, we set off once more in that northwesterly direction. I also must note that we were still living off of those mushrooms which Aiylōhyme had given us, for much of the forest had been consumed in so great a fire. And in this is that we are a type and shadow, for surely the Ithzieli also had nothing for sustenance save that Myannr which Aiylōhyme had caused to fall from the sky as they journeyed forty years. So, this thing made my heart glad, for Aiyseir was with us, and they were with the Ithzieli then. So, I must sing a song of praise unto the Aiyseir, for we were in seemingly the very depths of Hel, yet they sustained us and protected us. 
And so it was that we came to a great body of water, which was the North Sea. And here we set up camp, for the water was clear and without blemish, and the fires had not reached this far. Now, a few weeks' journey westward would take us to the place of the children of Hennen and to the Great Wall. Nevertheless, that was not our journey, and so we made camp upon the shores of the great North Sea. 
Now, our first order was not to construct any shelters, but to instead build a large Sydeir temple in praise to Aiy. This temple was not as large as the Temple Wall in Aiyanthi, nor was it like the covered temples to the south. No, it was a great ring of stones with served as a temple and a place of Sydeir. And this was the manner in which we constructed this house; It was open unto the air with a pit for a large fire in the center, circling around the pit of flames we made was a ring of stones each one for a family, and the families that had come out of Scythia were numbered sixty-seven. And thus the number of circles was more, for many had wedded in the wilderness, bringing the total number to Eighty-four families; thus was the number of circles. Now, these circles were placed in a spiral pattern, for thus does all energy flow. Now, this was the manner of our temples, which are many in the land. And they are open and without wall, save for the Great Wall, which is itself a temple and thus open to all the elements. And this we do that we might feel all the elements which the Peacemaker has created for us. For how may a person come to learn of all which has been created for them save they shall endure it? 
For this reason, we keep our temples open to the elements, for they all are great teachers unto us. And after the construction of this temple had been completed, we, being Emalō, Ahzheil, Farzhid, my mother, her sister, Diyō, who was he who opened the door to the chief's palace, and myself, gathered together that we might instruct the people in all the ways of the temple. Therefore, Diyō became Fire Keeper and gathered seven others from among the people to be Fire Keepers also. And Emalō and my mother and aunt taught those who were ready to construct a Fire Urim, for the ways of Sydeir had been blocked off for all but the elite in Scythia; therefore, it had been a rare and envied talent. However, those who were called Sydeir now numbered in the hundreds, yet I do not know the exact number. 
And it came to pass that all those Sydeir constructed Fire Urim after the manner they were taught and after the manner of the spirit. And when all this I gathered in all the families, each according to their stature. Thus, the eldest were near the center of the temple and the youngest were placed in the further stones. And this is the manner we were taught, for our elders were soon to become Vyaneir and thus were the most respected among us. 
And now, I pass the pen unto my beloved wife, Emalō, that she might recount the ceremony which we performed and to record the primary teachings which were in our temples. Yet, not all, for such a record would take up an exceeding amount of wood and stone, which we do not have the ability to hew. Therefore, the teachings will be kept to the primary and central teachings. Aiy!
