The Bringers

In the beginning, we were not here. We were somewhere else, however, far beyond the stars.
Our ancestors talk about strange beings that not only brought us to this land, but also thought us many things and gave us wise advice to have a good life. This is the matter of this book.

-- introduction of The Bringers

Purpose

The purpose of the The Bringers is to tell the story of the first men and their relations with the supernatural beings that name the book.
According to the book, men are not native to Earth; instead, they were brought by these beings, sometimes named "Ell-Khar", for mysterious reasons.
The first men were taught where to get food and where to shelter, and also received many orders. One of them was "do not drive yourselves beyond the Great Water", what is interpreted today as "do not cross the sea".
The book is a religious mark and used as a guide for many people of Talung.
