I should also mention that I love that there's some guy who's trying to do the stupid new chronology thing. The author is correct to banish him both physically and mentally.

There are actually a number of new chronologies aside from Fomenko's infamous one. I was thinking especially of Rohl's new chronology which I read and was fascinated with because it was a little bit more rigorous than Fomenko's crazy stuff about Jesus being a tsar. But it's still heavily criticized and seen by some as an attempt to historicize the bible by starting with a premise and then trying to back-justify it. It was always a shock to me as a kid thinking Rohl was just writing a normal history reading the wikipedia article and seeing Kenneth Kitchen (one particularly rancorous egyptologist) describe it as '100% nonsense'. That is some real Samangan energy and I wanted to channel it here.
 
I would just like to say that this is the most detailed world building I have ever seen in an online original setting. Keep up the great work, and I await more tales of the heretic's exploits!

*shakes head* Well that was certainly a more amusing entry! Though I must say that the incident with the leaking disease ending a battle sounds like the sort of thing that the only reason we don't have tales like that in our history is because when it happened the societies involved did not keep good enough records to be shamed by association with such a thing…
Though I have heard of men spending too long in full plate out in the desert sun to ill effects on their combat ability…
 
A story about gods trying to *convince* someone to do something? Wow, what a concept!
 
Now this is fun! It's sort of like a creative remixing of our own histories into something new and exciting. And of course the narrator is a joy to read.
 
I love the irony of how Vaspukaran faith is so rational and inclusive, but it does absolutely nothing to prevent the usual religious crap.

Instead, I have chosen to select three eras and three pieces of literature from each era, pieces that I read to Miriam as by three years old she was ready to start assisting in translation.

Does this mean that Miriam is a native speaker of the ancient Kokabi language?
