Book of the sun

Fellow Scholars,

I would like to update you on some of the research I have been doing of late. I have been spending increasing amounts of time in the library only to find scraps of information. As we have no scholarly journal here on Puddleby Isle I have yet to submit it for publication but I would welcome your advice as to content, presentation and additional areas of study.

-maldacht

There are no known copies of the Book of the Sun. We do know some of the content of that work because they were quoted in the text written by the human, John of Split Pines, On the Establishment of Natural Order.

John's work has been meticulously copied over the centuries, however many variant editions are known to have existed. We do not know which variant I have found in the Puddleby Library, or even if it is a documented variant. Up until this point scholars have not even known if copies of John's work still existed.

It is my hope that my work here will help to preserve this knowledge for future generations. The volume in hand is so worn that many portions are crumbling and illegible. It appears to have been the working copy of a mystic named Theodus the Tired, who has annotated the margins in many places.

The work seems to have 2 distinct sections with the first being a collection of wisdom and instructions from those who follow the Sun and the second section dealing with forms of worship and service. The little evidence given suggests that the vast majority of followers were mages of some sort. There appeared to be some sort of ranking to the followers and priests of the Sun but its structure and function is unclear.

There did seem to be many different roles and variants to worship. There was a significant amount of worship centered on a temple or large church of some kind. Another branch was centered on more of a traveling worship with small portable altars and individuals worshiping completely out of the common eye.

All that being said it cannot be proven that this is in anyway an accurate text and my translations and transcripts are far from complete, but this is what I have to share with you, my fellow scholars.

I have begun to carefully copy quoted potions of the Book of the Sun from On the Establishment of Natural Order:

Am I not hidden?
Am I not alone?
Can I not exist apart?
A soul to myself?

Must I act as bidden,
In the play's of Gods?
I feel that I am myself,
Apart from my community.

Unseen hands guide and spirit pushes,
Concentration takes over all.
My mouth opens,Your words emit,
but they are of my heart.
