Regarding the Disc of the Balance and the events that came about when the disc was broken.
The Scriptures tell us that the disc was kept at the Enclave for many thousands of years, safely guarded from any threat by the respect held by every man and woman for the authority of the Fathers. But with dissent came disobedience, and disobedience brought immorality and immorality begat theft. Tyren soldiers, aided by Sentinel traitors, attempted to make away with the disc, but were thwarted by the White of the Kin herself, intervening although forbidden to do so on behalf of the Fathers. The disc was brought safely back to the Enclave, but the threat would linger in the minds of the Minstrum and the Vestrum. So it became that the disc was melted in the forge of the dragon’s mouth, shaped into the elements of four magical people and given to these respective people for safe keeping until such a time when it was decreed that the disc should once more be whole.
One stone to the gentle souls that sing in the dark and shape the earth between their toes. One stone to the watchers of the woods, the ones who are outside. One stone to the two that make one, of air and of sea. And one stone to the keepers of the dark flame, the eternally dark, the mariners.
When the time comes for the disc to be whole again, one person will make a journey to the four who hold the pieces and the pieces will be given willingly because there will be no doubt to the righteousness of this person.
