Seeker of Sindar
================
I spent my life chasing the
secrets of the Sindar, but
here in these ruins, I've
reached the end of my
strength. And so I write
some of what I have
learned.
The Sidnar are a phantom
race. They have been known
throughout history and yet
their true nature is a
mystery. They came from the
north and travelled south,
leaving mysterious ruins
behind them. Legends say
the clan leader had a
cursed rune inscribed on
his forehead. It granted
eternal life but doomed the
clan to a life of
wandering. They say a
secret treasure lied at the
heart of the ruins, but
there are many traps, and
most seekers find only
death, like myself.


The 27 True Runes
=================
"Birth of the 27 True
Runes"
In the beginning there was
Darkness. The Darkness
lived for eons. Suffering
in soliture so long a time,
the Darkness finally shed a
Tear.
From this Tear, two
brothers were born, Sword
and Shield. Sword bragged
that he could cut anything
to pieces and to that
Shield answered that
nothing could ever harm
him. And so the two went to
war. The battle raged for
seven days and seven
nights. Sword cut Shield,
Shield smashed Sword.
Fragments of Sword rained
down and formed the sky.
Fragments of Shield rained
down and formed the earth.
Sparks from the battle
became the stars.
The 27 jewels adording the
Sword and Shield became the
"27 True Runes", and the
World came into being.

The Grasslands
==============
"Tinto and the Grasslands"
The Grasslands are a grassy
plain stretching from the
western part of Tinto to
the north. Many different
peoples live there, and are
trying to take control of
it. Tinto plans on more
raids in the future, but
they're hindered by the
Grasslanders, particularly
the Karaya and Chisya Clans
as well as the Free Knights
of Camaro. Recently, border
attacks by a group of
thieves called "The Keepers
of the Flame" have
increased.
