Prophet Mendai
Mendai is a name known by all of the Cres. It was her who first spread the tales of the Ancients to the people, sharing the stories of their triumphs and failures, and ultimately their ascent into the lands beyond. She traveled through the lands by the light of day, and when Fotiun began to shine in the night sky she would tell her stories to all who would listen. Through song and story she regaled her listeners with the tales of the past. But these stories were more than just history lessons. Mendai used them as a way to spread wisdom. Her stories always emphasized progress, both of self and of community, while showing the folly of falling into complacency and idleness. She preached the glories of hard work, of dedication to a goal, and of always pushing forward. Those who heard her speak left the experience with a new outlook on life, and civilization was subsequently molded around the lessons taught by her. Even today the ideals and philosophies her stories conveyed stay with the Cres, inspiring them to always move forward.
Mendai herself is known to have been a goofy, light-hearted girl with a penchant for pranks and raunchy jokes. Always described with a smile on her face and a gleam in her eye, she was just as much a character as the ones she told of in her tales. The stories of her are just as fantastical as the ones she told herself, and she has since become as much a myth as a person. While none doubt she was real, there is much debate as to where the truth of her ends and the exaggeration and embellishment begins. Its likely many of the more outlandish tales about her were spread by Mendai herself.
Her legacy has gone so far as to inspire people to emulate her. Seen as a journey of self discovery and enlightenment just as much as one of spreading wisdom, every race sees people setting out on their own as she did all those years ago. These individuals are called Daisen, and through them the stories Mendai told live on.
