The Four Vedas

The Four Vedas are a collection of four magical treatises from the Samraaji era, written in Bhaasa. They reveal true information about the world and contain many magical spells that can be learned and practiced. The four texts are:

1. Arunaveda. The only full text surviving to the modern era, it was translated during the Carolingian era into Lalange, and it almost never seen in its original form (though an original manuscript exists in the Keep of Lore). Discussing the practice of worshiping the Five Gods, the Arunic Code, and other matters of religious doctrine.
2. Sakshaveda. The second most complete Veda, this one lays out the laws that society should follow. Its teaching have been quite expanded and commented upon by modern legal practices, but it is the basis for all Imperial Law.   3. Kelveda. This was written as a Veda for "singer priests," and was once of special interest to the Bardatti, or "spellsingers," a long-extinct order of troubadours who are said to be able to weave magic with their music and singing.
4. Vireveda. This fragmentary collection of verses contains the most descriptive information on Samraaji culture, society, and heroes, which pre-date the Carolingian era.
5. Asraveda. The existence of this Veda is unknown and even a bit controversial. Because each of the others Gods has a Veda, it is assumed that Asra is no exception, but copies of this Veda have never been found.
