Literature Text

I have done as instructed and created our new people. I see now why I must guide them. They are as children, innocently stumbling about, unsure of their surrounding. Agra opened a doorway to this 'Anubia' he spoke of. It is indeed beautiful. We have decided to name the people after it, so henceforth, shall they be known as 'Anubians.'

Upon our arrival, Agra warned me to be mindful of things such as temptation, greed, and jealousy. We hadn't even contemplated such feelings before Vagoda arrived. I wonder, is Anubia such a paradise that it would constitute such evils? The anser is yes, it seems. Not two days after our arrival, a jealous man stole a flower from a lady. Others gave chase, and tagically, the thief perished in the chase.

I see now prevention of such things is critical. If we are to have a society, we must have order. Therefore I will create a set of rules, a constitution. We will also have to choose men to be officers to uphold these laws and rules. I still wish the people to have freedom though. Oh. what to do, what to do?

As each day passes by, rebuilding our society becomes harder. I should work on these rules and ideals for now. The more quickly I can create them, the more tragedies like the recent theif tragedy can be avoided.

I will go to Agra for wisdom.
The Book of the Prophets. This book served as a diary or journal for Drumau, prophet of the Anubian Faith. Now, the book itself serves as the holy text for all Anubians. This is what Drumau wrote on Page 2.

While most Anubians today still follow their faith, their faith is very hollow. While they believe, they never read their holy text, and only few take the time to pray or interact with priests.

As such, the book now sits behind protective glass in a museum, so the only thing one can do, is judge it by it's cover.
