The Parable Of Hakushnuesh And The Archive

This document seems to detail some observable change in the habits of Minotaur(known otherwise as "hyndshivena") that purportedly started in a region that has since become The Blazescar.

Speculations

The "basin" mentioned is widely accepted to be Ferheart Basin, both because it's the most popular 'basin', and because the largest population of minotaurs coexist with orc-kind in the region.
With the severe, magically-induced change in the region once known as Shain Tymind, it's believed by many scholars that the archive mentioned in the story, if it ever truly existed, is caked in molten ash. The fate of the archivists, in turn, is unknown, but surely Keeana would have provided them foresight to move their deity's vaunted treasures from ground zero of the Dragon Purge.

The Parable Of Hakushnuesh And The Archive

Hakushnuesh, a beastman begotten from one of The Mother In Green's many ill-begotten trysts, was a creature known for brutish strength and little else. During a rampage in Shain Tymind, Hakushnuesh broke into an archive-chapel dedicated to the Secretkeeper, and in a fit of frenzy, he and his clan destroyed untold volumes of ancient history.

Enraged, the Secretkeeper plucked the rampaging clan of beastmen from reality, and hurled him into a maze just outside of reality, with assurances that, if they can outwit the maze, their transgressions would be forgiven. Brutishness had Hakushnuesh attempting to break the walls, only to have those same walls repel him, and regenerate. For aeons, the beastmen toiled, making progress generation by generation.

Shehonmonar, the great-great-great-grandson of Hakushnuesh, took charge of the clan, and led them through the winding, surreal maze, emerging into a lush basin. Now absolved of the Secretkeeper's scorn, the clan made home among the verdant boughs, finding an unprecedented harmony with the land.
