Kalandaer’s Folio of the Ripplebark Forest

Found in the collection of books and text in the library of Agnes Marshcradler.

Fully researched by Barandir.

"See the Forests of Elysia, and behold the convergence of two realms, two planes that converge into one domain split into three. Agreed thereafter that with three domains, come three rulers. And what better semblance of order than three siblings to rule and contest with Kings and Queens".

"A humble accord, but so easily broken. Like all siblings, such relations can be strained and even burnt like the bridges that span between the dominions of Elysia. Split in three, dominions shall be divided and conquered. To the South, the gateway to the Fey shall be overseen by Kalandaer. Trickery, chaos and to weave dissidence in those who walk the plains of Elysia. This the folio of the Everwatching. Through chaos, they will seek order. Through sabotage, they will find equilibrium. The pivot between good and evil, seeking only neutrality and the middle point between two warring siblings. Where one succeeds, the folio determines that they should fail. Where one fails, the folio promises they then must pass. A constant war between brother and sister, and the trickster laughing from the shadows, enjoying the show and fuelling the flames".

"An accord not so easily broken, is the rules of play. Even in chaos, there must be structure. As the trickster watches from the shadows of Tornka Forest, his squabbling siblings shall rule in the North. Altair shall spin and spurn in the Elderfey Grove. His sister, Latharna, in the Whispering Woods. The two shall war, and the Watcher will watch. The two shall battle, and the Many Eyes shall cackle. And if the two should slumber, the youngest shall provoke and fuel from their submission. For what is a youngest sibling's purpose, if not to light the fire and watch their siblings argue until there is no breath left to laugh".
