Disclaimer: No games used belong to me, since I may have added another game, and I think if I didn't I may have to later.
Author's Note: Okay, this one will be good, I think. A lot of stuff explained, plot progression, and the like. I have a crop of notes just for this chapter. Also, Vincent214, thanks for the advice, I'll work on breaking the easy button.
Link's elf-eyes spotted the book on Eats-His-Book's shelf. "Tamriel and Hyrule: the Beginning."
Link was given quarters and the book. He had three hours before he thought he should return to the city.
"At the time, if it can be called 'time,' that the Dragon Break was ending, the continent of Hyrule was created. It was created by three goddesses, Din, Nayru, and Farore. There are mant theories on who and what they are. The most prominent being that Din, goddess of power, who created the landmass, was the Aedra Mara, as Aedra can create. The other two, Farore, goddess of Corage, and Nayru, goddess of Wisdom, were the Daedra Boethiah and Azura respectively, as they altered Din's creation, and Daedra can only change things. The people who came were those who wished to leave the Chaos of Tamriel (Link thought of the quotation 'The chaos that was the world' in the Triforce legend) and was comprised mostly of Ayelids, Bosmer, Redguards, and Imperials. Farore, or Boethiah, along with Nayru/Azura, who had experience in changing appearance of beings, transformed them into different beings. The Imperials became Hylians. The Bosmer, the Kokiri, the Redguards, the Gerudo, And the Ayelids were intermingled, giving the non-Gerudo races thier current pointed ears... "
Link read on, his mind absorbing the information, until he got halfway through, where he found:
"The Triforce and the Master Sword. The Triforce was left behind by the three goddesses as an artifact posessing the physical essence of Power, Wisdom, and Courage. It is personified physically as three golden triangles. It is contended that it is a conduit to Magnus, who rests in Oblivion, making spellcasting so easy as it becomes a wish. Only one who possesses a perfect balance of the aspects can wield the full Triforce, and the Master Sword. The Sword was crafted by unknown beings, thought to be the goddesses, but it is unknowable why only one pure of heart and balanced can wield it without dying, as Azura and Boethiah are both ambiguous morally. Another theory is that a different set of goddesses, perhaps Et'ada who somehow remain, completely unrelated to the accepted theory, created the land and the Sword."
Link was inclined to agree with the latter theory, but he may never know. He looked at the emblem on his hand. It was definitely more mysterious than he had cared to figure out. He felt, somehow, that the answer lay in Akavir.
Okay. The only potential setback is that one of the two groups, Zelda or TES fans may hate me for this. If it seems biased towards one side or the other, I assure you it was accidental. I love both sieries equally, and I want them to "Both be right," if it's possible.
Hm. A bit short. Not much action, sorry. But this WILL be important in future chapters.
