| An few important words about the Ather'Lorell Since the first days of settlement in Arborell Men have been intrigued by the following lines of script. Found inscribed on most structures and artifacts left by the ancient Trell, they have been a source of great interest and discussion. For more than a millenium scholars and treasure seekers have sought out the meaning of these four simple strands but to no avail. Their words have eluded decipherment, all who see them feel the power of the secret they hold. It is a secret that has remained hidden for all the ages of Man. To the Hordim these lines are known as the Ather'Lorell, the "song of souls", but they do not know why it is called this, nor what the lines may mean; they are sure however, that it is a poem of some type. For all it is a great mystery. Apart from the mystery of their meaning these scripts have also proven to hold great magical power. Indeed it was the last line of this text that unlocked the secrets of EarthMagic for the Dwarvendim. Even though the meaning of the words are unknown, their use provided the first hint as to how this great power could be harnessed. For the purposes of this first book in the Chronicles of Arborell the Ather'Lorell is mostly used as a decorative device. If however you place your mouse over these individual lines of script as they apear in the text, you may find that some hold clues to the successful completion of your quest. It is but a small application of the power these lines hold, a power which will become fully evident in the third book in this series, The Jotun War. __________________________________________________________ Home | ReadMe | Instructions | Inhabitants | Map of Northern Kalborea Quick Find Page| Email | Book Two - Earth and Stone
