Baetan
It came to pass that one day Baetan, a renowned hunter, picked up the
trail of a large stag. He pursued it along the banks of the UDUNILAY RIVER for many miles. At times, he sighted the stag, and it fueled his desire to bring it down and adorn his walls with the crown of its antlers. Whenever he came close to the beast, it would flee from him. After many days stalking the stag, the forest ended and Baetan came to a broad, open country of rich grasses, many lakes, pools, rivers, and streams.
Never, in all his travels, had he encountered such beauty, and he named it then, the Al-Liosh, the Land of Lakes.
The trail grew cold and Baetan never saw the stag, nor any sign of it, again, but he walked into the Al-Liosh and claimed it for his people. No sooner had he done this then he discovered a woman dwelling in the wild, living alone on an island in the lakes. She welcomed the hunter into her home, feeding him with fish and wild berries. Baetan fell in love with the woman, and remained with her for many days, until at last she bid him call his people to him and bring them to the Al-Liosh
This Baetan gladly did. Many followed him, for in those days they were still wanderers and unsettled. So they came to the Al-Liosh and fell under the spell of Baetan’s wife. Soon, they learned that she was of the VAL EAHRAKUN, and she had dwelt in the Land of Lakes for many years. She named herself IMBREE, and all the people loved her.
Imbree taught the Aenochains many things in those days: how to shape iron, to hunt the fey, and bits and pieces of the Language of Creation, so that charms and minor sorceries were theirs to command. More importantly than all else, she taught them a secret knowledge, and knowledge she professed that was known only to the Val Eahrakun, which they kept secret. Imbree taught the Aenochains that they were the hidden hopes of the ALL FATHER, and that more than all else they should love themselves, for in them lay the world’s salvation.
In time, Baetan died and his son, NEPELEOS, born to him by Imbree became the chief, and Imbree became his consort.
