From an ancient journal: The Orithorans have been useful as well, though their warped sense of justice makes it difficult to work with them. I doubt I will live to see a time when Malaenerplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigMalaener

[…] The mages were prepared this time. The Song of Dissonance alone will not be enough, but the Orithorans have discovered some new knowledge that might help. I wonder where they would get such knowledge? They claim Soudilii, their goddess of magic, is out of favor, but can we really trust anyone who even admits to a goddess of magic? […] The Orithorans go on about their True Justice forbidding any form of magic, while secretly worshiping their own false goddess of magic.168plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigAppeared or occurred in:

Orith, god of justice. Orith created all other gods, and rules over them. With the help of his wife, he deals out reward and punishment even to the other gods. Punishments of the gods often amounted to removing their power for a time, and forcing them to live with mortals.

Soudilii, goddess of mysticism and magic, illegitimate daughter of Soudii and a mortal elf. Soudilii is portreyed as a ten-year-old girl. She was born during a period when Soudii was mortal, punished by Orith. Soudilli is the lowest of the gods. She gave magic liberally to her people the elves, and allowed other races to have it as well. There are many stories of Soudilli attempting to subvert Orith, and other stories where Soudilli is in Orith's favor.

When the inevitable declaration is uttered, Zonith exterminates all life, Mellith the land sea and sky, and Soudii all thought, knowledge and history. Then Orith himself destroys the gods, and recreates them so they may construct the world anew.” “Only one time in a thousand does Orith reverse his judgement. It is common belief that we are now in that thousandth cycle, when the world will at last move forward to the thousand twenty-first year.”203plugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigAppeared or occurred in:
