The Forbidden Wisdom

For many years he had learned, created and experimented some inventions he found in forgotten scrolls. At the time, the empire was in its greatest, and he found out that many of them were very advanced he believed it could revolutionize the industry of the empire and made it greater. Sadly, on the country that slavery drove the economy and obsessed with a pride of the glory, the emperor quickly denied and banned him from the library. However, it didn't stop his determination.

Instead of creating by his own he let interested people to do so, slowly but surely. Therefore, he formed the company later known as Wisdom Assembly under his house, secretly researching something up. He invited his friends and many to plan more spectecular things; Those technologies written in scrolls were secretly added into the library, in hope somebody might interested in it. Because the librarians weren't do much, those were still unchecked. They had operated for 8 months in the late 402 BVE, getting more support from majority people.

It came to an end unfortunately, when the emperor(or his loyalist) saw strange machines creating from those unmarked scroll, resulting in his arrest and his house burned down.

The answer was cleared when they stopped at the river's end after week to months long traveling, where the sunset was so beautiful that give them a hope of living. With an abundance of horses in surrounding area, Val decided to settle here since to filful his determination.
