The Book of Prophecies

General

 

Origins

Long ago when Mayim first created the Humans she sent four Sisters to guide them. These sisters would become the first High Priestesses of the High Church. With them Mayim sent a book. This book would hold instructions, orders, and prophecies that the Sisters were to follow. Each year the Sisters would read the book and update it. They would remove old prophecies and put in new ones. When the Sisters died of the Human Plague the book would be given to the new High Priestesses. In order for everyone to follow the will of Mayim this book would be copied, printed, and sent to every church. Thus the mass distribution of the Book of Prophecies began.   

Purpose

The Book of Prophecies is filled with instructions, stories, and prophecies on how a faithful member of the High Church should live their lives. It contains the story of the Human and the Heart, the Creation Story, and the stories of how Mayim killed each of the other gods. The goal of the book it to show what happens to the faithful of Mayim and what punishments befall those who disobey.
