"Book I: Chapter 8"

Summary

Autumn, 4110 Year-of-the-Tusk , the Northern Jiünati Steppe Yursalka is awoken in his yaksh by a sound. He hears it again, realizing that someone is throwing stones at his yaksh. He thinks it’s his son, Ogatha , who was caught in the rains. Curious, but cautious, he rises, grabs his sword and steps outside. It is stormy. He picks up a stone and lightning flashes, revealing that the stone is actually a section of a child’s finger. He looks around wildly and another lightning flash reveals Cnaiür , standing a dozen yards from him. Cnaiür tells him he found his son wandering the Steppe and throws Ogatha’s head at Yursalka. Yursalka attacks him. Cnaiür blocks his attack and disembowels him. Yursalka falls to the muddy ground, and Cnaiür tells him that he is his end, that he will slaughter his children and blot of his name and legacy until he is nothing. Other Utemot come from their tents, and Cnaiür tells them of Yursalka’s betrayal and dares anyone to challenge him. Yursalka’s family gather around him, and Cnaiür begins killing them. The Utemot do not interfere because it is their way of dealing with traitors. Late Autumn, 4110 Year-of-the-Tusk, Momemn Maithanet ’s declaration of the Holy War half a year earlier had resulted in thousands arriving in Momemn. Such is the fervor that many men sold their wives and children to become Men of the Tusk. Some Men of the Tusk commit atrocities or are the victim to them. Calmemunis , Tharschilka , and Kumrezzer sign the Indenture , and Xerius III provisions them. However, there is no clear leader, no organization. This host, which comes to be called the Vulgar Holy War , departs Momemn. Maithanet is angry, and the main contingents of the Holy War are ready to begin their journey to Momemn. Gotian , Grandmaster of the Shrial Knights , intercepts the Vulgar Holy War north of Gielgath with a summons to Maitanet, but Calmemunis refuses the answer, finding it troubling that the Shriah is having doubts on the God’s judgement. The Vulgar Holy War continue south at a slow pace, attracting camp followers. By time it reaches Anserca , the host has become more unruly and raids the countryside for food. General Martemus , who has been shadowing the Vulgar Holy War, attempts to restrain them, but is driven back. Calmemunis blames Xerius for the stop of supplies, but Maithanet ordered the edicts to compel the Vulgar Holy War back to Momemn. He also issues other edicts, rescinding the Shrial Remission, and threatening Shrial Censure to all in the Vulgar Holy War should they continue to march. These events cause the host to stop, and for a time, the Great Names think about returning to Momemn. However, they come across a supply train, apparently heading to Asgilioch . Seeing it as a sign of the God, the Vulgar Holy War continue its march, though some return to Momemn. The host eventually comes upon Asgilioch. The commander of the fortress, Prophilas , offers dinner invitations to the Great Names, and they accept after receiving hostages. Within Asgilioch, they are arrested and presented with the Shriah’s Warrant, but Calmemunis warns Prophilas that the God is on his side, and quotes Inri Sejenus about those who interfere with the God’s will. Prophilas releases them, and the Vulgar Holy War crosses the Unaras Mountains into Fanim lands. While Conphas is writing a message, Skeaös comes to him, telling him that the Ainoni have arrived. Conphas is surprised; they were not expected for another day. Since the departure of the Vulgar Holy War, ten thousand Thunyeri and forty thousand Tydonni have arrived, but the respective leaders of the contingents, King Rauschang and Gothyelk , refused to sign the Indenture . Conphas hands his message to his dispatch, an order for Martemus to resume his patrols south of Momemn. Conphas had installed himself at the lowest level of the Andiamine Heights , and he and Skeaös make the climb up to where his uncle is meeting the Ainoni. Conphas notes that Skeaös shows no sign of strain during the long climb. Skeaös briefs him on their way to the Privy Council, and says that Xerius wanted to exclude Conphas until Eleäzaras requested his presence. Conphas makes Skeaös tell him how critical he is to his uncle’s plans and demands to know why he had lied. Skeaös says that he fears for his soul. Conphas wonders if Skeaös is conspiring with his grandmother to sow dissension between Conphas and Xerius to save the Holy War. Conphas tells Skeaös that the restoration the Nansur Empire for his soul is a bargain. In the Privy Chamber, Xerius dismisses everyone but Cememketri , Skeaös and Conphas. He asks Conphas how he means to snare Eleäzaras. Conphas knows his uncle is afraid because no one knows why the Scarlet Spires have joined the Holy War. Conphas says that they know too little to snare him and it is best to bargain in good faith, and Xerius says that is his thought as well. Eleäzaras and Chepheramunni are announced into the room. Xerius asks why have the Scarlet Spires joined the Holy War, and Eleäzaras says it’s because they were purchased. Conphas thinks this is a lie because even the Thousand Temples could not afford such a price. Eleäzaras says that Chepheramunni will sign the Indenture, but several conditions must be met first. Xerius protests, and Eleäzaras interrupts him, saying he heard his arguments. He asks why had they provisioned the Vulgar Holy War. Xerius says to end their depredations, and Eleäzaras says that is unlikely and that they wanted the Vulgar Holy War destroyed to gain control of the Holy War. He says that if the Nansur should betray them, nothing would save them for the Scarlet Spire’s wrath. Xerius turns to Skeaös and Cememketri warns that Eleäzaras is far from High Ainon to make threats. Eleäzaras ignores him, turning to address Conphas. He praises his unprecedented victory over the Scylvendi . Conphas smiles, but tells him that Cememketri is right; by joining the Holy War, the Scarlet Spires will be surrounded by fanatics. They’ll need every friend they can get. Eleäzaras says they need no one. During their negotiation, Conphas becomes convinced that the reason the Scarlet Spires joined the Holy War is because they have been in a secret war with the Cishaurim . Eleäzaras demanded that in exchange for Chepheramunni signing the Indenture, the Nansur must surrender all their intelligence of the Cishaurim to the Scarlet Spires. Conphas thinks that Maithanet had to know of the Scarlet Spires’ war, and wonders what game he is playing. Conphas receives news that the Vulgar Holy War had been annihilated on the Plains of Mengedda . Two couriers came to Momemn, one delivering the heads of Calmemunis, Tharschilka, and Kumrezzer, and another delivering Conphas a secret message from Skauras : We cannot count the carcasses of your idolatrous kin, so many have been felled by the fury of our righteous hand. Praised be the Solitary God. Know that House Ikurei has been heard. Conphas is awed by what he and his uncle had accomplished, and that only Gods could do such an act.

Chipmunk
Chipmunk is a magic knife found by Mimara in the Coffers of the Library of Sauglish . It is made of bronze and engraved with glowering runes . It was enchanted by the ancient School of Mihtrûl to have an otherworldly edge, capable of cutting with ease despite feeling rounded to the touch. It also cuts only according to the wielder's desire .

In The Great Ordeal

Mimara and Drusas Achamian catch the Dunyain boy scraping it against a chorae . Achamian says that it must have been made by Emilidis , the greatest of the the ancient Nonmen artificers, which is why it was stored in the Coffers .

Chorae
Chorae are artifacts of the Ancient North , also known as “Trinkets” (to the Schools ) and “The Tears of God ” (to the Inrithi ).

Appearance

In appearance, Chorae are small iron spheres, one inch in diameter, that are banded by runes written in Gilcûnya , the holy tongue of the Nonmen Qûya .

Function

Chorae are extraordinary in that they render their bearer immune to all sorcerous Cants and instantly kill any sorcerer who comes into contact with them. Sorcerers who touch Chorae are turned to salt. It is said that some Nonmen have Marks so strong that simply being near a Chorae is enough to destroy them. Ciphrang , more commonly known as demons, are also turned to salt by the touch of a Chorae.

Usage

Although the principles behind their creation (they belong to lost branch of sorcery called the Aporos ) are no longer understood, thousands are believed to circulate in the Three Seas alone. The Chorae play a pivotal role in the political balance of power in the Three Seas, insofar as they allow the non-scholastic Great Factions to check the power of the Schools. Chorae bowmen are specialized units that use Chorae affixed to the end of arrow shafts or crossbow bolts to kill enemy sorcerers. Chorae archers are a staple of almost every military organization in Eärwa . The sorcerers uses pejorative for Chorae archers —“Weepers”— those who “shed” the Tears of God .

Origin

When the Inchoroi began using Men to master the Aporos and produce the first Chorae, they gave the first sorcery-destroying spheres to the Sranc , only to discover that the creatures were far too reckless. Having fixed and morbid habits of ornamentation, the Sranc rarely valued the spheres, and were thus prone to lose them. So the Inchoroi began giving them to the Men of Eärwa , hoping to incite them to rebellion. But the Halaroi had no stomach for rousing a feared, and most importantly, absent master, and so rendered the deadly gifts to their Nonmen overlords. The Inchoroi then looked to Eänna , where the Men were both more fierce and more naive. They gave the Chorae to the Five Tribes as gifts, and to one tribe, the black-haired Ketyai , they gave a great tusk inscribed with their hallowed laws and most revered stories–as well as one devious addition: the divine imperative to invade the ‘ Land of the Felled Sun ’ and hunt down and exterminate the ‘ False Men .’

Number available

Author himself explains: as for the numbers of Chorae, no one is quite sure how many are extant. Because the Few can sense them, most scholars assume that the present day numbers haven't dwindled too much since the Cuno-Inchoroi Wars - it's primarily a question of distribution. There's some ten thousand or so estimated to be in the Three Seas . Then there's the famed 'Chorae Hoard' of Sakarpus , and the far greater hoard amassed by the Consult in Golgotterath .

Chronicle
"Chronicle of Tusk" The Tusk is the premier holy artifact of both the Inrithi and Kiünnat traditions, and the most unholy in the Fanim tradition, where it is referred to as Rouk Spara (“Cursed Thorn” in Kianni). The text itself is the scriptural foundation for all mannish faiths save Fanimry. For the Inrithi The Tractate is both the prophesied culmination and an amendment of The Chronicle of the Tusk .

The Object

The Chronicle of the Tusk is the most ancient extant human text in Eärwa . It is written in Thoti-Eännorean, the alleged mother tongue of all Men . As the oldest literate work, its provenance is almost entirely unknown. Many Inrithi commentators have pointed out that it must have been a collective work, cobbled together from many (likely oral) sources over a period of many years. Since the Tusk bears the oldest extant version of The Chronicle of the Tusk , its provenance remains an utter mystery to men, though most scholars agree that it predates the coming of the Five Tribes of Men to Eärwa. Like most scriptures, its popular interpretation is highly selective and idealized. The Tusk has always been in the possession of one tribe, the Ketyai . Throughout most of recorded history, since the earliest days of Shigek , before even the rise of Kyraneas , the Tusk has been installed in Sumna , holiest city of Inrithism located in Nansur . Though during the Apocalypse , after the Battle of Mehsarunath in 2154, the Tusk was evacuated and brought to ancient Invishi in Nilnamesh . The Tusk is enshrined in the Junriüma , also known as the Vault-of-the-Tusk, an ancient fortress-temple located in the heart of the Hagerna in Sumna. It has recently been revealed that the Tusk was gifted to the Ketyai by the Inchoroi . The Chronicle of the Tusk consists for the most part of the stories and traditions of men before they crossed the mountains, with one ‘devious addition’: the command to invade Eärwa and destroy the ‘False Men’ .

The Text

The Chronicle of the Tusk consists of six books: the Book of Canticles, the Book of Gods, the Book of Hintarates, the Book of Songs, the Book of Tribes, and the Book of Warrants.

Book of Canticles

Canticles contains the old “Tusk Laws” regarding every aspect of personal and public life. In Inrithi tradition these were superseded by the revised strictures of The Tractate , though it is still referred to in cases on which Inri Sejenus was silent. Known laws include: - Concerning Sorcerers , “Cut from them their tongues, for their blasphemy is an abomination like no other …” “Burn them, for they are Unclean.” From this text, Inrithi call sorcerers the Unclean.
- Children are to be stoned to death for striking their parents.
- When a man murdered some other man’s brother, his own brother is to be executed.
- Verse 19:9 “Suffer not a whore to live, for she maketh a pit of her womb! Suffer not a whore to breathe , for she mocks the seed of the righteous! Stone her so that thy hand shall not be tempt—”
- False Prophets are banned. The punishment is to be scourged.
- Verse 18:9 “As death is the sum of all harms, so is murder the sum of all sins.”

Book of Gods

The primary scripture of the Cults , enumerating the various Gods , and explaining the rites of purification and propitiation basic to each. Collectively these Gods are known as the Hundred Gods. Ajokli is listed among the primary Gods, and Yatwer is anything but revered in The Chronicle of the Tusk (wherein “tillers of soil” are often referred to with contempt).

Book of Hintarates

The story of Hintarates describes an upright man plagued with apparently undeserved adversity.

Book of Songs

A collection of verse prayers and parables extolling the virtues of piety, manliness, courage, and tribal loyalty. Lines include: - Verse 57:3 “For all things there is a toll. We pay in breaths, and our purse is soon empty.”
- “There is no friend more difficult, than a sinner.”
- Verse 6:33 “You are fallen from Him like sparks from the flame. A dark wind blows, and you are soon to flicker out.”

Book of Tribes

Tribes presents the extended narrative of the first Prophets and Chieftain-Kings of the Five Tribes of Men before the invasion of Eärwa. Angeshraël is the most famed Old Prophet of the Tusk, responsible for leading the Five Tribes of Men into Eärwa. While on Mount Eshki , the “Mountain of Revelation,” the Prophet Angeshraël received the call to lead the Tribes of Men into Eärwa. After coming down from the mountain he is confronted by Husyelt , and bows his face into his fire. Kellhus describes this as follows: Angeshraël seeks to convince the Tribes of men, called the Children of Eänna in the Tusk, to cross the Great Kayarsus mountains, and on Mount Kinsureah , the “Mountain of Summoning,” he sacrifices Oresh , the youngest of his sons by his wife Esmenet, to demonstrate his conviction to the Tribes of Men. Four tribes agree, but the Xiuhianni , a black-haired, brown-eyed, olive-skinned race, refuse to follow the other four tribes into Eärwa. Angeshraël also incites the Four Nations of Men to embark on a holy war of extermination against the Nonmen of Eärwa. The Tusk generally refers to Nonmen as Oserukki, the “Not Us.” Angeshraël alternately refers to them as “the Accursed Ones” and “the sodomite Kings of Eärwa,” According to the Tusk, the Nonmen are anathema: Verse 21:13 states: The Chieftain-Kings; Shelgal , Mamayma , Nomur , Inshull and Uskelt Wolfheart , lead the tribes into Eärwa. The Tusk ends with the determination to invade Eärwa, or the Land of the “Uplifted Sun.” Verse 6:42 states:

Book of Warrants

Warrants is an account of the observances governing the interactions between castes . Verse 7:48 reads: The punishment is described as follows:

Texts of unknown origin

The following texts are stated to be from The Chronicle of the Tusk, but it is unclear what book they come from. - “All things both sacred and vile, speak to the hearts of Men, and they are bewildered, and holding out their hands to darkness, they name it light.”
- “Hearken Truth, for it strides fiercely among you, and will not be denied.”
- “Fear him, for he is the deceiver, the Lie made Flesh, come among you to foul the waters of your heart.”
A Shaman is both prophet and sorcerer. The original Men of Eärwa, slaves of the Nonmen, were called the Emwama . The Text also describes a ritual preformed after battle:
