Sorry

Wow... it's been a LONG time since I've posted. Sorry about that. I'm gonna try and be more diligent!

Also, my first draft of 016: The First Tome of Nigel pt 7, I used the name Nigel, when in fact it was supposed to be Luther in that scene. I fixed it now though, and it should be a little less confusing now. =]

Supplement to 013: The First Tome of Nigel pt 4

A Minotaur stands like a man, but has hooves for feet and the head of a bull.

Devland is a country on the continent of Flaria which is where the heaviest population of Minotaurs live. It is in the North Western part of Flaria. Nu, where Ishbosheth is from, is an island that floats in the middle of Flaria, which is in the shape of a C, connected to the land by 2 large bridges.

Moguta's Bridge connects Nu to Devland.

Halvor's Bridge connects Nu to Vitan, land of the Centaurs, in the South Western part of Flaria

A Centaur has the body from the waist up of a human and the waist down of a horse.

Heest is the land of the Leoxins. Heest is in the North Eastern part of Flaria.

Don't worry, you'll find out who Nigel is soon

Supplement to 011: The First Tome of Nigel pt 2

A Leoxin stands upright like a human, with the head, paws and legs of a lion.

...that's about it...

Supplement to 010: The First Tome of Nigel pt 1

Hawkhorns stand like humans but have the head of a hawk, wings, and talons on their hands. Hawkhorns live in the country of Nu on the continent of Flaria.

The Day of Wings was a coming of age celebration for young Hawkhorn boys and girls entering into manhood or womanhood. This takes place on the 16th birthday.

Fullbone is what 100% animalians are called, i.e. 100% Hawkhorn, Leoxin or Centaur, etc. Fullblood is 100% human.

Rhinewolves stand like humans but have the head of a wolf and fur down to their midsection and sometimes below. Rhinewolves live in the country of Sotai on the continent of Flaria.

A Blitwolf is a large cow-like creature in Cistron, similar to a wildebeest or a water buffalo with no horns.

Supplement to 009: A Summative Account of the Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth Wars

There isn't much that needs supplementing, as it was written as if it were written by a historian, it had much of the information already in there. However, I will say that all the dates listed are birthdays of some of my friends.

Addonetts are my form of Jewish people, and Negans are my form of Muslims

The color of the gemstones are correlated to what each keeper kept.

Aithar is a word I derived from the Gaelic word for Father to represent the Allah character.

The Ora is an Ocean, East of Kenna and surrounding the southern half of Trisalia.

Can we put pictures on these? I kinda want to upload a picture of a map... once I can draw a map well...

Supplement to 008: An Account of The First War

This is war 1 of 6 that plagued Cistron, much like the Crusades. And also like the Crusades, many of the 6 are religiously based.

The First War is sometimes known as The Dragon Spider War.

The Great Flood was a time when the ice caps on the southern and northern poles of Cistron melted and the waters rose, sinking many of the coast lines, far inland. However, the middlemost and highest parts of land were left untouched. The part of Orfor that is broken off is later named Argard, who becomes the protector of Orfor.

Not saying that Pellas and any of his followers didn't follow Addonai, but all of Nopra's followers did, for there is none of that kind of magic without Addonai. This is not true in connection with God however, unless you're talking about miracles, but that's off on a tangent. The kind of magic that devotion to Addonai can create is best described as bending. One cannot create something, but they can control it and manipulate it. Such as Pyro from X-Men. He can't make a flame himself, but he can hold it and throw them.

An Urchin isn't a sea urchin, but rather a mammal-like creature, with a turtle-like shell with porcupine-like (-like-like-like) spines on its back.

Ciero and Pirus are both technically red, but Ciero's scales aren't metallic, and they don't shine like Pirus's. The same is true in the case of Argard and Beline. Beline is blue because her scales don't shine like Argard's whose scales are also blue, but called silver.

Even though The First War ended in a peace treaty, it is traditionally said that the Ardurians won, because of their agreement saying that they would've won, which is probably true.

Supplement to 007: The Birth of the Demons

The different levels of intensity of the reaction of the Keepers is directly proportionate to their relationship to the creation of the species that were affected. In the case of the Naiads, Addonai commanded Nephalon to turn a certain body of water into the Naiads, so that was a specific command. In the case of the Rhinewolves, Addonai told the Keepers to pick their choice of beasts, so that was a commanded choice. In the case of the Elves, the Keepers made their own unions and that's what created the elven race, so that was a complete choice.

Addonai sees all and knows all. It's not like He allows terrible things to happen, but He can't force people to love Him, but He can ask that they do. The three women will later be in the lines of three of my main families: the Vanderhilt family (mostly Naiad with some Human) the Hatfield family (mostly Leoxin with some Rhinewolf) and the Servez family (mostly Human with some Elf)

Supplement to 006: The Temptations of the Norians

The word Norian is my word for Angels. My heaven used to be called Noria, which made sense for the Angels to be called Norians, but when I later changed the name to Valde, I still liked the name and didn't think there was any reason to change it. Also, I sort of got the name from Chuck Norris, so there you go.

Richt is some language for Right, Link the same for Left. Doreth is my own word. Richt, being the protector of honor, embodies the protection of one's self, which is important. Link, being the protector of justice, embodies the protection of others, which is also important. Doreth, being the protector of love, embodies the protection of all, which may be most important.

Doreth doesn't need a weapon because Love doesn't stir up wrath.

Mera has no power, only the power to manipulate, so she uses her words carefully to make Doreth make his own decision to turn away from Addonai.

There's a big importance put on the sadness of Addonai when Doreth turns from him, and the sadness of his brothers as they're throwing him out of Valde.

I suppose I could've used this wording, but I wanted to make it sound Bibly, but the word Throne can also mean Ruler, so the ruler of Verago will destroy the ruler of Valde.

Doreth means with love and Dochreidthe means having no love. Dochreithe is pronounced: DOCK-rid-eth

Supplement to 005: The Unions of the Keepers

The children are called the third tier creation because where as the Spirits were created because Addonai commanded Nephalon to make specific things from specific things, and then Addonai had the Keepers choose which beasts they wanted, the children where the makings of the Keepers on their own, therefore, the closest relationship.

Supplement to 004: The Keepers Fall

Again, there's not much to supplement, but for the statement of Addonai saying that He created these things and trusted his creation to his other creations, just like God has done with us. However, he hasn't given us control over his creation, just use.

Supplement to 003: The Choosing of the Beasts

There's a different word used for what Mera did. She conspires and is always thinking of ways she can turn things on themselves.

Addonai calls the beasts the second tier creation of the Keepers because they chose their own beasts, after Addonai's order.

Supplement to 002: The Calling of the Spirits

There's not much to supplement in this post. Other than the fact that I chose to represent the keeper of the underworld as a woman. I think if there's supposed to be one perfect tempter, who better than a woman?

Addonai uses the word first tier creation. There will be 2 more tiers, each one growing in choice. With the Spirits, Addonai told Nephalon what water, tree and rock to give life to.

Supplement to 001: Creation of Cistron

This is intentionally written to sound very biblical, as this would've been what the inhabitants of Cistron would know as their history.

I use the name Addonai for the name of the God figure in my stories, because the name Addonai is a unique word in the Hebrew language. The word Adon is master, and the ending ai is only used for names in connection with God. It usually is the ending of superlatives, like greatest, biggest, strongest. So knowing that I have many beings who are "in charge" of Cistron, I figured Addonai *my own spelling*, the "Lordiest Lord" the Most High God would fit the best.

I say that Addonai breathed out the stars. Somewhere in the poetic books of the Bible it calls God the "star breather." Stars are some of the hugest things in the universe, and to think that God just breathed, the easiest thing in the world to do, and he creates the most massive things you could imagine, it really shows the power of God.

The names of the Keepers is no coincidence. The first letters of their names spell out CISTRON. It isn't said explicitly that there were people before the keepers, but you can make your own assumptions as to if there were or not. If you choose to believe there were, you're right. When it says that Addonai formed man, that doesn't mean he formed a man, but the species of men. Other species would later come, but at the time, there was only the species of men living on Cistron. Addonai took seven people from their territories, whether they had made homes near the flames, the plants, the beasts, the land, the winds or the waters, and gave them the ability to control His creation. It's like meeting people where they are. Addonai saw Nephalon could be trusted with the gift of giving life, which he would later use to bring about some new species, but that will be saved for later posts.
