SEVENTEEN: Hassahan Mystic
The Six Sacred Pillars
Accounts vary from one Byzen country to the next, but it was universally agreed upon that as the Kingdom of Tzap sunk to the bottom of the sea, a blinding light engulfed the remaining six kingdoms during which many feared the destruction of their own homes that were struck by natural disasters. The unique wreckage in each kingdom resulted in the sudden appearance of six pillars, each inscribed with the Torran language.
Scholars adept in the language traveled to the kingdoms where they were permitted (Nohr, Hassah, Corrin, and Baryon), but although they studied it for many years, they were unable to decipher their purpose. By the time the Ionian pillar was found in the ruins of the country's Nyström province, Hákon was in power and the kingdom had severed from the others. The people of Lorah treated their pillar as a sacred object that should be worshiped and honored as a god, as such they denied entry to Baryonian scholars who challenged their beliefs.
Since their appearance, their relevance has not yet been uncovered or the reason as to why appeared in the first place. Many theories exist as a result.
xl: Hello! I'm going to try to keep this short.
- I went back to combine a few chapters into single POVs because I am constantly trying to fix things. That's why we're not in Ch 60, suddenly.
- Check my wordpress for (incomplete) guides, character lists, and previews. There is a link (that may or may not work) at my profile.
- Do continue to suggest characters, I'm still taking suggesting for oneshots (short stories). I want to finish one for Valentine's Day, but February is looking to be a very busy month for me school-wise, so this might not be possible, but March looks good.
- I have to organize what events I want taking place in the next chapter, so it might be a while before I can start releasing parts for it.
- The following POVs were a part of the previous chapter, but they're better together separate from the others.
- I wanted to introduce Melik's younger siblings, but there wasn't any room for them.
Next, I want to take the time to formally thank everyone that reviewed as I was slowly posting the previous chapter. I'm sorry that I couldn't always respond to your reviews, but I enjoyed reading your opinions and theories. Thank you for your feedback: starrat, Miqila, DaughterofSelene103, shipudden-piece, animexxfreakxx, NameWithNoMeaning, Dehearts26, grimxichixshiroxmomoxorixx, HSYcca, KiwiRita, SilverMist-Yukino, Renhoa0.0, Candyluver2121, fianna2452, and SpaceSylph.
I hope that you enjoy this chapter.
