Rotoscope Control Panel The roto panel controls the assignment of a shot s blips to cameras or objects. The roto mask can also be written as an alpha channel or RGB image using the image preprocessor. Spline/Object List. An ordered list of splines and the camera or object they are assigned to. The default Spline1 is a rectangle containing the entire image. A feature is automatically assigned to the camera/object of thelastspline in the list that contains the feature. Double-click a spline to rename it as desired. Camera/Object Selector. Drop-down list. Use to set the camera/object of the spline selected in the Spline/Object List. You can also selectGarbageto set the spline as a garbage matte. Show this spline. Checkbox. Turn on and off to show or hide the selected spline. Also see the View/Only Selected Splines menu item. Key all CPs if any. Checkbox. When on, moving any control point will place a key on all control points for that frame. This can help make keyframing more predictable for some splines. Enable. Button. Animatable spline enable. Create Circle. Lets you drag out circular splines. Create Box. Lets you drag out rectangular splines. Magic Wand. Lets you click out arbitrarily-shaped splines with many control points. Delete. Deletes the currently-selected spline. Move Up. Push button. Moves the selected spline up in the Spline/Object List, making it lower priority. Move Down. Push button. Moves the selected spline down in the Spline/Object List, making it higher priority. Shot Alpha Levels. Integer spinner. Sets the number of levels in the alpha channel for the shot. For example, select 2 for an alpha channel containing only 0 or 1(255), which you can then assign to a camera or moving object. Object Alpha Level. Spinner. Sets the alpha level assigned to thecurrentcamera or object. For example, with 2 alpha levels, you might assign level 0 to the camera, and 1 to a moving object. The alpha channel is used to assign a feature only if it is not contained in any of the splines. Import Tracker to CP. Button. When activated, select a tracker then click on a spline control point. The tracker s path will be imported as keys onto the control point. Feature Control Panel Motion Profile.Select one of several profiles reflecting the kinds of motion the image makes. UseCrash Panfor when the camera spins quickly, for example, to be able to keep up. Or useGentle Motionfor faster processing when the camera/image moves only slightly each frame. Clear all blips.Clears the blips from all frames. Use to save disk space after blips have been peeled to trackers. Blips this frame. Push button. Calculates features (blips) for this frame. Blips playback range. Push button. Calculates features for the playback range of frames. Blips all frames. Push button. Calculates features for the entire shot. Displays the frame number while calculating. Once started, can’t be interrupted! Delete. Button. Clears the skip frame channel from this frame to the end of the shot, or the entire shot if Shift is down when clicked. Skip Frame. Checkbox. When set, this frame will be ignored during automatic tracking and solving. Use (sparingly) for occasional bad frames during explosions or actors blocking the entire view. Camera paths are spline interpolated on skipped frames. Advanced. Push button. Brings up a panel with additional control parameters. Link frames. Push button. Blips from each frame in the shot are linked to those on the prior frame (depending on tracking direction). Useful after changes in splines or alpha channels. Peel. Mode button. When on, clicking on a blip adds a matching tracker, which will be utilized by the solving process. Use on needed features that were not selected by the automatic tracking system. Peel All. Push button. Causes all features to be examined and possibly converted to trackers. To Golden. Push button. Marks the currently-selected trackers as “golden,” so that they won’t be deleted by the Delete Leaden button. Delete Leaden. Push button. Deletes all trackers, except those marked as “golden.” All manually-added trackers are automatically golden, plus any automatically-added ones you previously converted to golden. This button lets you strip out automatically-added trackers. Tracking Control Panel The tracker panel has two variations with different sizes for the tracker view area, and slightly different button locations. The wider version gives a better view of the interior of the panel, especially on high-resolution displays. The smaller version is a more compact layout that reduces mouse motion, and because of the reduced size, is better for use on laptops. Select the desired version using theWider tracker-view panelpreference. Tracker Interior View. Shows its interior---the inner box of the tracker.Left Mouse Drag the tracker location.Middle Scroll Advance the current frame, tracking as you go.Right Mouse Add or remove a position key at the current frame. Or, cancel a drag in progress. Create. Mode Button. When turned on, depressing the left mouse button in the camera view creates new trackers. When off, the left mouse button selects and moves trackers. Delete. Button (also Delete key). Deletes the selected tracker. Finish. Button. Brings up the finalize dialog box, allowing final filtering and gap filtering as a tracker is locked down. Lock. Button. Non-animated enable, turn on when tracker is complete; will then be locked. Tracker Type.,,,. Button. Toggles the tracker type among normal match-mode, dark spot, bright spot, or symmetric spot. Direction. Button. Configures the tracker for backwards tracking it will only track when playing or stepping backwards. Enable. Button. Animated control turns tracker on or off. Turn off when tracker gets blocked by some thing, turn back on when it becomes visible again. Contrast. Number-less spinner. Enhances contrast in the Tracker Interior View window. Bright. Number-less spinner. Turns up the Tracker Interior View brightness. Color. Rectangular swatch. Sets the display color of the tracker for the camera, perspective, and 3-D views. Now. Button. Adds a tracker position key at the present location and frame. Right-click to remove a position key. Shift-right-click to truncate, removing all following keys. Key. Spinner tells SynthEyes to automatically add a key after this many frames, to keep the tracker on track. Key Smooth. Spinner. Tracker s path will be smoothed for this many frames before each key, so there is no glitch due to re-setting a key. Name. Edit field. Adjust the tracker s name to describe what it s tracking. Pos. H and V spinners. Tracker s horizontal and vertical position, from –1 to +1. You can delete a key (border is red) by right-clicking. Shift-right-clicking will truncate the tracker after this frame. Size. Size and aspect spinners. Size and aspect ratio (horizontal divided by vertical size) of the interior portion of the tracker. Search. H and V spinners. Horizontal and vertical size of the region (excluding the actual interior) that SynthEyes will search for the tracker around its position in the preceding frame. Preceding implies lower-numbered for forward tracking, higher-numbered for backward tracking. Weight. Spinner. Defaults to 1.0. Multiplier that helps determine the weight given to the 2-D data for each frame from this tracker. Higher values cause a closer match, lower values allow a sloppier match.WARNING This control is for experts and should be used judiciously and infrequently. It is easy to use it to mathematically destabilize the solving process, so that you will not get a valid solution at all. Keep near 1. Also see ZWTs below. Exact. For use after a scene has already been solved set the tracker s 2-D position to the exact re-projected location of the tracker s 3-D position. A quick fix for spurious or missing data points, do not overuse. See the section onfiltering and filling gaps. Note applied to a zero-weighted-tracker, error will not become zero because the ZWT will re-calculate using the new 2-D position, yielding a different 3-D and then 2-D position. F n.nnnhpix.(display field, right of Exact button) Shows the distance, in horizontal pixels, between the 2-D tracker location and the re-projected 3-D tracker location. Valid only if the tracker has been solved. ZWT. When on, the tracker s weight is internally set to zero—it is a zero-weighted-tracker (ZWT), which does not affect the camera or object s path at all. As a consequence, its 3-D position can be continually calculated as you update the 2-D track or change the camera or object path, or field of view. The Weight spinner of a ZWT will be disabled, because the weight is internally forced to zero and special processing engaged. The grayed-out displayed value will be the original weight, which will be restored if ZWT mode is turned off. T n.nnnhpix.(display field, right of ZWT button) Shows the total error, in horizontal pixels, for the solved tracker. This is the same error as from the Coordinate System panel. It updates dynamically during tracking of a zero-weighted tracker. Lens Control Panel Field of View. Spinner. Field of view, in degrees, on this frame. Focal Length. Spinner. Focal length, computed using the current Back Plate Width on Scene Settings. Provided for illustration only. Add/Remove Key., Button. Add or remove a key to the field of view (focal length) track at this frame. Known. Radio Button. Field of view is already known (typically from an earlier run) and is taken from the field of view seed track. May be fixed or zooming. You will be asked if you want to copy the solved FOV track to the seed FOV track—do that if you want to lock down the solved FOV. Fixed, Unknown. Radio Button. Field of view is unknown, but did not zoom during the shot. Fixed, with Estimate. Radio Button. Camera did not zoom, and a reasonable estimate of the field of view is available and has been set into the beginning of the lens seed track. This mode can make solving slightly faster and more robust.Important verify that you know, and have entered, the correct plate size before using any on-setfocal lengthvalues. A correct on-set focal length with an incorrect plate size makes the focal length useless, and this setting harmful. Zooming, Unknown. Radio Button. Field of view zoomed during shot. Lens Distortion. Spinner. Show/change the lens distortion coefficient. Calculate Distortion. Checkbox. When checked, SynthEyes will calculate the lens distortion coefficient. You should have plenty of well-distributed trackers in your shot. Add Line. Checkbox. Adds an alignment line to the image that you can line up with a straight line in the image, adjust the lens distortion to match, and/or use it for tripod or lock-off scene alignment. Kill Line. Checkbox. Removes the selected alignment line (the delete key also does this). Control-click to delete all the alignment lines at once. Axis Type. Drop-down list. Not oriented, if the line is only there for lens distortion determination, parallel to one of the three axes, along one of the three (XYZ) axes, or along one of the three axes, with the length specified by the spinner. Configures the line for alignment. - . Button. Swaps an alignment line end for end. The direction of a line is significant and displayed only for on-axis lines. Length. Spinner. Sets the length of the line to control overall scene sizing during alignment. Only a single line, which must be on-axis, can have a length. Atnnnf.Button. Shows(not set)if no alignment lines have been configured. This button shows the (single) frame on which alignment lines have been defined and alignment will take place; clicking the button takes you to this frame. Set each time you change an alignment line, or right-click the button to set it to the current frame. Align!Button. Aligns the scene to match the alignment lines defined—on the frame given by theAt…button. Other frames are adjusted correspondingly. To sequence through all the possible solutions,control-click this button. Solver Control Panel Go!Button. Starts the solving process, after tracking is complete. Master Reset. Button. Resets all cameras/objects and the trackers on them, though all Disabled camera/objects are left untouched. Control-click to clear the seed path, and optionally the seed FOV (after confirmation). Error. Number display. Root-mean-square error, in horizontal pixels, of all trackers associated with this object or tracker. Seeding Method.Upper drop-down list controlling the way the solver begins its solving process, chosen from the following methods Auto. List Item. Selects the automatic seeding(initial estimation) process, for a camera that physically moves during the shot. Refine. List item. Resumes a previous solving cycle, generally after changes in trackers or coordinate systems. Tripod. List Item. Use when the camera pans, tilts, and zooms, but does not move. Refine Tripod. List item. Resumes a previous solving cycle, but indicates that the camera was mounted on a tripod. Indirect. List Item. Use for camera/objects which will be seeded from links to other camera/objects, for example, a DV shot indirectly seeded from digital camera stills. Individual. List Item. Use for motion capture. The object s trackers are solved individually to determine their path, using the same feature on other “Individual” objects; the corresponding trackers are linked in one direction. Points. List Item. Seed from seed points, set up from the 3-D trackers panel. Use with on-set measurement data, or afterSet Allon the Coordinate Panel. You should still configure coordinate system constraints with this mode some hard locks and/or distance constraints. Path. List Item. Uses the camera/object s seed path as a seed, for example, from a previous solution or a motion-controlled camera. Disabled. List Item. This camera/object is disabled and will not be solved for. Directional Hint. Second drop-down list. Gives a hint to speed the initial estimation process, or to help select the correct solution, or to specify camera timing for “Individual” objects. Chosen from the following for Automatic objects Automatic. List Item. In automatic seeding mode, SynthEyes can be given a hint as to the general direction of motion of the camera to save time. With the automatic button checked, it doesn’t need such a hint. Left. List Item. The camera moved generally to its left. Right. List Item. The camera moved generally to its right. Up. List Item. The camera moved generally upwards. Down. List Item. The camera moved generally downwards. Push In. List Item. The camera moved forward (different than zooming in!). Pull Back. List Item. The camera moved backwards (different than zooming out!). Camera Timing Setting. The following items are displayed when “Individual” is selected as the object solving mode. They actually apply to the entire shot, not just the particular object. Sync Locked. List Item. The shot is either the main timing reference, or is locked to it (ie, gen-locked video camera). Crystal Sync. List Item. The camera has a crystal-controlled frame rate (ie a video camera at exactly 29.97 Hz), but it may be up to a frame out of synchronization because it is not actually locked. Loosely Synced. List item. The camera s frame rate may vary somewhat from nominal, and will be determined relative the reference. Notably, a mechanical film camera. Slow but sure. Checkbox. When checked, SynthEyes looks especially hard (and longer) for the best initial solution. Constrain. Checkbox for experts. When on, constraints set up using the coordinate system panel are applied rigorously, modifying the tracker positions. When off, constraints are used to position, size, and orient the solution, without deforming it. Seealignment vs constraints. Hold.Animated Button. Use to create hold regions to handle shots with amix of normal and tripod-modesections. Begin. Spinner and checkbox. Numeric display shows an initial frame used by SynthEyes during automatic estimation. With the checkbox checked, you can override the begin frame solution. Either manually or automatically, the camera should have panned or tilted only about 30 degrees. If the camera does something wild between the automatically-selected frames, or if their data is particularly unreliable for some reason, you can manually select the frames instead. The selected frame will be selected as you adjust this, and the number of frames in common shown on the status line. End. Spinner and checkbox. Numeric display shows a final frame used by SynthEyes during automatic estimation. With the checkbox checked, you can override the end frame solution. World size. Spinner. Rough estimate of the size of the scene, including the trackers and motion of the camera. Transition Frms. Spinner. When trackers first become usable or are about to become unusable, SynthEyes gradually reduces their impact on the solution, to maintain an undetectable transition. The value specifies how many frames to spread the transition over. Filter Frms. Spinner. Controls post-solving path filtering. If this control is set to 3, say, then each frame s camera position is a (weighted) average of its position within 3 frames earlier and 3 frames later in the sequence. A larger number creates a smoother path, butincreaseserrors. Overall Weight. Spinner. Defaults to 1.0. Multiplier that helps determine the weight given to the data for each frame from this object s trackers. Lower values allow a sloppier match, higher values cause a closer match, for example, on a high-resolution calibration sequence consisting of only a few frames.WARNING This control is for experts and should be used judiciously and infrequently. It is easy to use it to mathematically destabilize the solving process, so that you will not get a valid solution at all. Keep near 1. More. Button. Brings up or takes down the Hard and Soft Lock Controls dialog. Axis Locks. 7 Buttons. When enabled, the corresponding axis of the current camera or object is constrained to match the corresponding value from the seed path. These constraints are enforced either loosely after solving, with Constrain off, or tightly during solving, with Constrain on. See the section onConstraining Camera or Object Position. Animated. Right-click to remove a key on the current frame. L/R. Left/right axis (ie X) F/B. Front/back axis (Y or Z) U/D. Up/down axis (Z in Z-up or Y in Y-up) FOV. Camera field of view (available/relevant only for Zoom cameras) Pan. Pan angle around ground plane Tilt. Tilt angle up or down from ground plane Roll. Roll angle from vertical Never convert to Far.Normally, SynthEyes monitors trackers during 3-D solves, and automatically converts trackers to Far if they are found to be too far away. This strategy backfires if the shot has very little perspective to start with, as most trackers can be converted to far. Use this checkbox if you wish to try obtaining a 3-D solve for your nearly-a-tripod shot. Coordinate System Control Panel Tracker Name. Edit. Shows the name of selected tracker, or change it to describe what it is tracking. Camera/Object. Drop-down list. Shows what object or camera the tracker is associated with; change it to move the tracker to a different object or camera on the same shot (or, you can clone it there for special situations). Entries beginning with asterisk(*) are on a different shot with the same aspect and length; trackers may be moved there, though this may adversely affect constraints, lights, etc. *3. Button. Starts and controls three-point coordinate setup mode. Click it once to begin, then click on origin, on-axis, and on-plane trackers in the camera view, 3-D viewports, or perspective window. The button will sequence through Or, LR, FB, and Pl to indicate which tracker should be clicked next. Click this button to skip from LR (left/right) to FB (front/back), or to skip setting other trackers. After the third tracker, you will have the opportunity to re-solve the scene to apply the new settings. Seed Lock Group X, Y, Z.Buttons. Multi-choice buttons flip between X, X+, X-; Y, Y+, Y-; and Z, Z+,Z- respectively. These buttons control which possible coordinate-system solution is selected when there are several possibilities. Only significant when the tracker is locked on one or two axes. X, Y, Z. Spinners. An initial position used as a guess at the start of solving (if seed checkbox on), and/or a position to which the tracker is locked, depending on the Lock Type list. Seed. Mode button. When on, the X/Y/Z location will be used to help estimate camera/object position at the start of solving, if Points seeding mode is selected. Peg. Mode button. If on, and the Solver panel s Constrain checkbox is on, the tracker will be pegged exactly, as selected by the Lock Type. Otherwise, the solver may modify the constraints to minimize overall error. See documentation for details and limitations. Far. Mode button. Turn on if the tracker is far from the camera. Example If the camera moved 10 feet during the shot, turn on for any point 10,000 feet or more away. Far points are on the horizon, and their distance can not be estimated. This button states yourwish, SynthEyes may solve a tracker as far anyway, if it is determined to have too little perspective. Lock Type. Drop-down list. Has no effect if Unlocked. The other settings tell SynthEyes to force one or more tracker position coordinates to 0 or the corresponding seed axis value. Use to lock the tracker to the origin, the floor, a wall, a known measured position, etc. See the section onLock Mode Details. If you select several trackers, some with targets, some without, this list will be empty—right-click the Target Point button to clear it. Target Point. Button. Use to set up links between trackers. Select one tracker, click the Target Point button to select the target tracker by name. Or, ALT-click (Mac Command-Left-Click) the target tracker in the camera view or 3-D viewport. If the trackers are on the same camera/object, the Distance spinner activates to control the desired distance between the trackers. You can also lock one or more of their coordinates to be identical, forcing them parallel to the same axis or plane. If the trackers are on different camera/objects, you have created a link the two trackers will be forced to the same location during solving. If two trackers track the same feature, but one tracker is on a DV shot, the other on digital camera stills, use the link to make them have the same location. Right-click to remove an existing target tracker. Dist. Spinner. Sets the desired distance between two trackers on the same object. Solved. X, Y, Z numbers. After solving, the final tracker location. Error. Number. After solving, the root-mean-square error between this tracker s predicted and actual positions. If the error exceeds 1 pixel, look for tracking problems using the Tracker Graph window. [FAR]. This will show up after the error value, if the tracker has been solved as far. Set Seed. Button. After solving, sets the computed location up as the seed location for later solver passes using Points mode. All. Button. Sets up all solved trackers as seeds for subsequent passes. Exportable. Checkbox. Uncheck this box to tell savvy export scripts not to export this tracker. For example, exporting to a compositor, you may want only a half dozen of a hundred or two automatically-generated trackers to be exported and create a new layer in the compositor. Non-exportable points are shown in a different color, somewhat closer to that of the background. 3-D Control Panel Creation Mesh Type. Drop-down. Selects the type of object created by the Create Tool. Create Tool. Mode button. Clicking in a 3-D viewport creates the mesh object listed on the creation mesh type list, such as a pyramid or Earthling. Most mesh objects require two drag sequences to set the position, size, and scale. Note that mesh objects are different than objects created with the Shot Menu s Add Moving Object button. Moving objects can have trackers associated with them, but are themselves null objects. Mesh objects have a mesh, but no trackers. Often you will create a moving object and its trackers, then add a mesh object(s) to it after solving to check the track. Object name. Editable drop-down. The name of the object selected in the 3-D or camera viewports. Changeable. Delete. Button. Deletes the selected object. Lock Selection. Mode button. Locks the selection in the 3-D viewport to prevent inadvertent reselection when moving objects. World/Object. Mode button. Switches between the usual world coordinate system, and the object coordinate system where everything else is displayed relative to the current object or camera, as selected by the shot menu. Lets you add a mesh aligned to an object easily. Move Tool. Mode button. Dragging an object in the 3-D viewport moves it. Rotate Tool. Mode button. Dragging an object in the 3-D viewport rotates it about the axis coming up out of the screen. Scale Tool. Mode button. Dragging an object in the 3-D viewport scales it uniformly. Use the spinners to change each axis individually. Make/Remove Key., Button. Adds or removes a key at the current frame for the currently-selected object. Show/Hide. Button. Show or hide the selected mesh object. Object color. Color Swatch. Object color, click to change. X/Y/Z Values. Spinners. Display X, Y, or Z position, rotation or scale values, depending on the currently-selected tool. Size. Spinner. This is an overall size spinner, use it when the Scale Tool is selected to change all three axis scales in lockstep. Whole. Button. When moving a solved object, normally it moves only for the current frame, allowing you to tweak particular frames. If you turn on Whole, moving the object moves the entire path, so you can adjust your coordinate system without using locks. If you do this, you should set up some locks subsequently and switch to Point or Path seeding, or you will have to readjust the path again if you re-solve.Hint Whole mode has some rules to decide whether or not to affect meshes. To force it to include all meshes in the action, turn onWhole affects mesheson the 3-D viewport and perspective window s right-click menu. Blast. Button. Writes the entire solved history onto the object s seed path, so it can be used for path seeding mode. Reset. Button. Clears the object s solved path, exposing the seed path. Cast Shadows. (Mesh) Object should cast a shadow in the perspective window. Catch Shadows. (Mesh) Object should catch shadows in the perspective window. Back Faces. Draw the both sides of faces, not only the front. Invert Normals. Make the mesh normals point the other way from their imported values. Lighting Control Panel New Light. Button. Click to create a new light in the scene. Delete Light. Button. Delete the light in the selected-light drop-down list. Selected Light. Drop-down list. Shows the select light, and lets you change its name, or select a different one. Far-away light. When checked, light is a distant, directional, light. When off, light is a nearby spotlight or omnidirectional(point) light. Compute over frames This, All, Lock. In the (normal) This mode, the light s position is computed for each frame independently. In the All or Lock mode, the light s position is averaged over all the frames in the sequence. In the All mode, this calculation is performed repeatedly for “live updates.” In the Lock mode, the calculation occurs only when clicking the Lock button. New Ray. Button. Creates a new ray on the selected light. Delete Ray. Button. Delete the selected ray. Previous Ray ( ). Button. Switch to the previous lower-numbered ray on the selected light. Ray Number. Text field. Shows something like 1/3 to indicate ray 1 of 3 for this light. Next Ray ( ). Button. Switch to the next higher ray on the selected light. Selected Ray Source. Mode button. When lit up, click a tracker in the camera view or any 3-D view to mark it as one point on the ray. Target. Mode button. When lit up, click a tracker in the camera view or any 3-D view to mark it as one point on the ray. If the source and target trackers are the same, it is a reflected-highlight tracking setup, and the Target button will show “(highlight).” For highlight tracking to be functional, there must be a mesh object for the tracker to reflect from. Distance. Spinner. When only a single ray to a nearby light is available, use this spinner to adjust the distance to the light. Leave at zero the rest of the time. Flex/Curve Control Panel Theflex/curvecontrol panel handles both object types, which are used to determine the 3-D position/shape of a curve in 3-D, even if it has no discernable point features. If you select a curve, the parameters of its parent flex (if any) will be shown in the flex section of the dialog. New Flex. Creates and selects a new flex. Left-click successively in a 3-D view or the perspective view to lay down a series of control points. Right-click to end. Delete Flex. Deletes the selected flex (even if it was a curve that was initially clicked). Flex Name List. Lists all the flexes in the scene, allowing you to select a flex, or change its name. Moving Object List. If the flex is parented to a moving object, it is shown here. Normally, “(world)” will be listed. Show this 3-D flex. Controls whether the flex is seen in the viewports or not. Clear. Clears any existing 3-D solution for the flex, so that the flex s initial seed control points may be seen and changed. Solve. Solves for the 3-D position and shape of the flex. The control points disappear, and the solved shape becomes visible. All. Causes all the flexes to be solved simultaneously. Pixel error. Root-mean-square (~average) error in the solved flex, in horizontal pixels. Count. The number of points that will be solved for along the length of the flex. Stiffness. Controls the relative importance of keeping the flex stiff and straight versus reproducing each detail in the curves. Stretch. Relative importance of (not) being stretchy. Endiness. (yes, made this up) Relative importance of exactly meeting the end-point specification. New Curve. Begins creating a new curve—click on a series of points in the camera view. Delete. Deletes the curve. Curve NameList.Shows the currently-selected curves name among a list of all the curves attached to the current flex, or all the unconnected curves if this one is not connected. Parent Flex List.Shows the parent flex of this curve, among all of the flexes. Show.Controls whether or not the curve is shown in the viewport. Enable.Animated checkbox indicating whether the curve should be enabled or not on the current frame.

You were prepared to never return, yet destiny had other planes and word reaches you of your fathers passing.^^ You ride for days under blood stained skies, across deep valleys and over rivers on your journey home. On the third day your horse gives out and you continue on foot. Rising the crest of the last hill, you look down on what is now your lands. ^^ It hasn't changed since you were a child, still a small village and your fathers hunting lodge is all that makes up your kingdom; yet, it is yours.

Sometimes when you close your eyes at night when its peaceful and the rumbling in your belly is quiet, you can remember glimpses of your mothers face, you can remember a few moments before the attack on your village, of playing in the fields surrounded by smiling faces. Then in a moment its gone and your back there running, hearing the sounds of screaming and seeing the smoke. For years you've been captive, no longer a child, but a {reg59?women man}.a {reg59?women man} who's had many owners, seen more places then many kings - yet has never known freedom. You're not sure what changed in you tonight, maybe it was the final beating, maybe the sight of you're last master being cut down in front of you, but tonight when the attack on your convoy happened and that cage slung open, you knew you were never going back, tonight you would die or run - but either way you would know freedom. menu_start_phase_slave|{s1} menu_start_phase_slaveb|{s1} menu_start_phase_slavec|{s1} menu_start_priest_life|For the last five years you've started the morning just the same, rising with the sun before kneeling in prayer, a light meal in the great hall surrounded by blessed men, then off to tend the fields in bare feet.

This page explains various roles in the regular meeting. It also provides script and tips. Useful files are also available at Public Downloads. When you are assigned to a speech, be sure to bring your manuals to allow your evaluator to write a written evaluation for you. 1. Club Bylaws 2. Competent Communication Manual (Objectives) 3. Competent leadership Manual 4. Advanced Manuals (Descriptions) 5. Scripts (Timer, Vote Counter, GRAHCO) 6. Tips for Table Topics Master 7. Tips on Evaluation 8.

Club Bylaws These bylaws and constitution are used by all toastmasters club worldwide. 2. Competent Communication Manual (List of objectives) 3. Competent leadership Manual Read page 58 of your Competent Communication Manual on Communication and Leadership Tracks. This explains how to use the above two manuals includedin the new member kit. Members should bring two manuals everytime they serve a role. 4. Advanced Manuals Read page 76 of your Competent Communication Manual Upon completion of the first ten projects of Competent Communication Manual you will acquire the title CC (Competent Communicater) and be entitled to choose two manuals from 15 advanced manuals. The fees for the first two advanced manuals are included in your original payment on your application for membership. 5. Scripts Your first roles in the meeting will be invocation (Mission of the club, Thought of the day, vote counter, timer, and perhaps later GRAHCO (gra-cou). You will be requested to give an explanation of your role by TMOD (tea-mode Toastmaster Of The Day) at the start of the meeting. Feel free to modify these scripts (except for the Mission of the Club) to create your own version. When you are TMOD, and need to call a member, call the person as Toastmaster so and so - rather than TM (tea-em) so and so - even though the abbreviation may be used on the agenda. On the other hand GRAHCO and TMOD are acronyms and used as such. TMOD is preferably called Toastmaster or Madam Toastmaster typically at the start or end of a speech. Toastmaster of the Day is also used for this purpose. 6. Tips for Tabletopics Master To make your session most exciting. 7. Tips on Evaluation For a positive and effective evaluation. 8. Agenda Sample This file is at the Members Only Downloads. * This sample can be used for overwriting when you are TMOD 9. Tips for TMOD This file is at the Members Only Downloads. Please find * TMOD_duties_as_of_909.pdf . 10. Glossary 11. You Can t Talk About That! Members often tell us that other Toastmasters have told them that speeches concerning politics, religion and sex are forbidden by Toastmasters International because such controversial subjects are not appropriate. This is not true. Toastmasters International does not prohibit any speech topic, content or language. Toastmasters International recognizes club members may learn much about the world around them from listening to others’speeches on a variety of subjects. This variety can add interest to club meetings and stimulate thoughts and ideas. For these reasons, Toastmasters International does not place restrictions on topics, content, or language of any speeches. It also recognizesthat a club is a diverse group of people and recommends members be sensitive to this diversity and use good taste and responsibility when selecting speech topics, content, and language. While Toastmasters International has no restrictions, a club may guide its nembers on how to observe good taste and sensitivity in the context of that particular club.

CHAPTER XXIX UP CHAPTER XXXI CHAPTER XXX The Queens Class Is Organized Marilla laid her knitting on her lap and leaned back in her chair. Her eyes were tired, and she thought vaguely that she must see about having her glasses changed the next time she went to town, for her eyes had grown tired very often of late. It was nearly dark, for the full November twilight had fallen around Green Gables, and the only light in the kitchen came from the dancing red flames in the stove. Anne was curled up Turk-fashion on the hearthrug, gazing into that joyous glow where the sunshine of a hundred summers was being distilled from the maple cordwood. She had been reading, but her book had slipped to the floor, and now she was dreaming, with a smile on her parted lips. Glittering castles in Spain were shaping themselves out of the mists and rainbows of her lively fancy; adventures wonderful and enthralling were happening to her in cloudland--adventures that always turned out triumphantly and never involved her in scrapes like those of actual life. Marilla looked at her with a tenderness that would never have been suffered to reveal itself in any clearer light than that soft mingling of fireshine and shadow. The lesson of a love that should display itself easily in spoken word and open look was one Marilla could never learn. But she had learned to love this slim, gray-eyed girl with an affection all the deeper and stronger from its very undemonstrativeness. Her love made her afraid of being unduly indulgent, indeed. She had an uneasy feeling that it was rather sinful to set one s heart so intensely on any human creature as she had set hers on Anne, and perhaps she performed a sort of unconscious penance for this by being stricter and more critical than if the girl had been less dear to her. Certainly Anne herself had no idea how Marilla loved her. She sometimes thought wistfully that Marilla was very hard to please and distinctly lacking in sympathy and understanding. But she always checked the thought reproachfully, remembering what she owed to Marilla. "Anne," said Marilla abruptly, "Miss Stacy was here this afternoon when you were out with Diana." Anne came back from her other world with a start and a sigh. "Was she? Oh, I m so sorry I wasn t in. Why didn t you call me, Marilla? Diana and I were only over in the Haunted Wood. It s lovely in the woods now. All the little wood things--the ferns and the satin leaves and the crackerberries--have gone to sleep, just as if somebody had tucked them away until spring under a blanket of leaves. I think it was a little gray fairy with a rainbow scarf that came tiptoeing along the last moonlight night and did it. Diana wouldn t say much about that, though. Diana has never forgotten the scolding her mother gave her about imagining ghosts into the Haunted Wood. It had a very bad effect on Diana s imagination. It blighted it. Mrs. Lynde says Myrtle Bell is a blighted being. I asked Ruby Gillis why Myrtle was blighted, and Ruby said she guessed it was because her young man had gone back on her. Ruby Gillis thinks of nothing but young men, and the older she gets the worse she is. Young men are all very well in their place, but it doesn t do to drag them into everything, does it? Diana and I are thinking seriously of promising each other that we will never marry but be nice old maids and live together forever. Diana hasn t quite made up her mind though, because she thinks perhaps it would be nobler to marry some wild, dashing, wicked young man and reform him. Diana and I talk a great deal about serious subjects now, you know. We feel that we are so much older than we used to be that it isn t becoming to talk of childish matters. It s such a solemn thing to be almost fourteen, Marilla. Miss Stacy took all us girls who are in our teens down to the brook last Wednesday, and talked to us about it. She said we couldn t be too careful what habits we formed and what ideals we acquired in our teens, because by the time we were twenty our characters would be developed and the foundation laid for our whole future life. And she said if the foundation was shaky we could never build anything really worth while on it. Diana and I talked the matter over coming home from school. We felt extremely solemn, Marilla. And we decided that we would try to be very careful indeed and form respectable habits and learn all we could and be as sensible as possible, so that by the time we were twenty our characters would be properly developed. It s perfectly appalling to think of being twenty, Marilla. It sounds so fearfully old and grown up. But why was Miss Stacy here this afternoon?" "That is what I want to tell you, Anne, if you ll ever give me a chance to get a word in edgewise. She was talking about you." "About me?" Anne looked rather scared. Then she flushed and exclaimed "Oh, I know what she was saying. I meant to tell you, Marilla, honestly I did, but I forgot. Miss Stacy caught me reading Ben Hur in school yesterday afternoon when I should have been studying my Canadian history. Jane Andrews lent it to me. I was reading it at dinner hour, and I had just got to the chariot race when school went in. I was simply wild to know how it turned out-- although I felt sure Ben Hur must win, because it wouldn t be poetical justice if he didn t--so I spread the history open on my desk lid and then tucked Ben Hur between the desk and my knee. I just looked as if I were studying Canadian history, you know, while all the while I was reveling in Ben Hur. I was so interested in it that I never noticed Miss Stacy coming down the aisle until all at once I just looked up and there she was looking down at me, so reproachful-like. I can t tell you how ashamed I felt, Marilla, especially when I heard Josie Pye giggling. Miss Stacy took Ben Hur away, but she never said a word then. She kept me in at recess and talked to me. She said I had done very wrong in two respects. First, I was wasting the time I ought to have put on my studies; and secondly, I was deceiving my teacher in trying to make it appear I was reading a history when it was a storybook instead. I had never realized until that moment, Marilla, that what I was doing was deceitful. I was shocked. I cried bitterly, and asked Miss Stacy to forgive me and I d never do such a thing again; and I offered to do penance by never so much as looking at Ben Hur for a whole week, not even to see how the chariot race turned out. But Miss Stacy said she wouldn t require that, and she forgave me freely. So I think it wasn t very kind of her to come up here to you about it after all." "Miss Stacy never mentioned such a thing to me, Anne, and its only your guilty conscience that s the matter with you. You have no business to be taking storybooks to school. You read too many novels anyhow. When I was a girl I wasn t so much as allowed to look at a novel." "Oh, how can you call Ben Hur a novel when it s really such a religious book?" protested Anne. "Of course it s a little too exciting to be proper reading for Sunday, and I only read it on weekdays. And I never read ANY book now unless either Miss Stacy or Mrs. Allan thinks it is a proper book for a girl thirteen and three-quarters to read. Miss Stacy made me promise that. She found me reading a book one day called, The Lurid Mystery of the Haunted Hall. It was one Ruby Gillis had lent me, and, oh, Marilla, it was so fascinating and creepy. It just curdled the blood in my veins. But Miss Stacy said it was a very silly, unwholesome book, and she asked me not to read any more of it or any like it. I didn t mind promising not to read any more like it, but it was AGONIZING to give back that book without knowing how it turned out. But my love for Miss Stacy stood the test and I did. It s really wonderful, Marilla, what you can do when you re truly anxious to please a certain person." "Well, I guess I ll light the lamp and get to work," said Marilla. "I see plainly that you don t want to hear what Miss Stacy had to say. You re more interested in the sound of your own tongue than in anything else." "Oh, indeed, Marilla, I do want to hear it," cried Anne contritely. "I won t say another word--not one. I know I talk too much, but I am really trying to overcome it, and although I say far too much, yet if you only knew how many things I want to say and don t, you d give me some credit for it. Please tell me, Marilla." "Well, Miss Stacy wants to organize a class among her advanced students who mean to study for the entrance examination into Queen s. She intends to give them extra lessons for an hour after school. And she came to ask Matthew and me if we would like to have you join it. What do you think about it yourself, Anne? Would you like to go to Queen s and pass for a teacher?" "Oh, Marilla!" Anne straightened to her knees and clasped her hands. "It s been the dream of my life--that is, for the last six months, ever since Ruby and Jane began to talk of studying for the Entrance. But I didn t say anything about it, because I supposed it would be perfectly useless. I d love to be a teacher. But won t it be dreadfully expensive? Mr. Andrews says it cost him one hundred and fifty dollars to put Prissy through, and Prissy wasn t a dunce in geometry." "I guess you needn t worry about that part of it. When Matthew and I took you to bring up we resolved we would do the best we could for you and give you a good education. I believe in a girl being fitted to earn her own living whether she ever has to or not. You ll always have a home at Green Gables as long as Matthew and I are here, but nobody knows what is going to happen in this uncertain world, and it s just as well to be prepared. So you can join the Queen s class if you like, Anne." "Oh, Marilla, thank you." Anne flung her arms about Marilla s waist and looked up earnestly into her face. "I m extremely grateful to you and Matthew. And I ll study as hard as I can and do my very best to be a credit to you. I warn you not to expect much in geometry, but I think I can hold my own in anything else if I work hard." "I dare say you ll get along well enough. Miss Stacy says you are bright and diligent." Not for worlds would Marilla have told Anne just what Miss Stacy had said about her; that would have been to pamper vanity. "You needn t rush to any extreme of killing yourself over your books. There is no hurry. You won t be ready to try the Entrance for a year and a half yet. But it s well to begin in time and be thoroughly grounded, Miss Stacy says." "I shall take more interest than ever in my studies now," said Anne blissfully, "because I have a purpose in life. Mr. Allan says everybody should have a purpose in life and pursue it faithfully. Only he says we must first make sure that it is a worthy purpose. I would call it a worthy purpose to want to be a teacher like Miss Stacy, wouldn t you, Marilla? I think it s a very noble profession." The Queen s class was organized in due time. Gilbert Blythe, Anne Shirley, Ruby Gillis, Jane Andrews, Josie Pye, Charlie Sloane, and Moody Spurgeon MacPherson joined it. Diana Barry did not, as her parents did not intend to send her to Queen s. This seemed nothing short of a calamity to Anne. Never, since the night on which Minnie May had had the croup, had she and Diana been separated in anything. On the evening when the Queen s class first remained in school for the extra lessons and Anne saw Diana go slowly out with the others, to walk home alone through the Birch Path and Violet Vale, it was all the former could do to keep her seat and refrain from rushing impulsively after her chum. A lump came into her throat, and she hastily retired behind the pages of her uplifted Latin grammar to hide the tears in her eyes. Not for worlds would Anne have had Gilbert Blythe or Josie Pye see those tears. "But, oh, Marilla, I really felt that I had tasted the bitterness of death, as Mr. Allan said in his sermon last Sunday, when I saw Diana go out alone," she said mournfully that night. "I thought how splendid it would have been if Diana had only been going to study for the Entrance, too. But we can t have things perfect in this imperfect world, as Mrs. Lynde says. Mrs. Lynde isn t exactly a comforting person sometimes, but there s no doubt she says a great many very true things. And I think the Queen s class is going to be extremely interesting. Jane and Ruby are just going to study to be teachers. That is the height of their ambition. Ruby says she will only teach for two years after she gets through, and then she intends to be married. Jane says she will devote her whole life to teaching, and never, never marry, because you are paid a salary for teaching, but a husband won t pay you anything, and growls if you ask for a share in the egg and butter money. I expect Jane speaks from mournful experience, for Mrs. Lynde says that her father is a perfect old crank, and meaner than second skimmings. Josie Pye says she is just going to college for education s sake, because she won t have to earn her own living; she says of course it is different with orphans who are living on charity--THEY have to hustle. Moody Spurgeon is going to be a minister. Mrs. Lynde says he couldn t be anything else with a name like that to live up to. I hope it isn t wicked of me, Marilla, but really the thought of Moody Spurgeon being a minister makes me laugh. He s such a funny-looking boy with that big fat face, and his little blue eyes, and his ears sticking out like flaps. But perhaps he will be more intellectual looking when he grows up. Charlie Sloane says he s going to go into politics and be a member of Parliament, but Mrs. Lynde says he ll never succeed at that, because the Sloanes are all honest people, and it s only rascals that get on in politics nowadays." "What is Gilbert Blythe going to be?" queried Marilla, seeing that Anne was opening her Caesar. "I don t happen to know what Gilbert Blythe s ambition in life is-- if he has any," said Anne scornfully. There was open rivalry between Gilbert and Anne now. Previously the rivalry had been rather onesided, but there was no longer any doubt that Gilbert was as determined to be first in class as Anne was. He was a foeman worthy of her steel. The other members of the class tacitly acknowledged their superiority, and never dreamed of trying to compete with them. Since the day by the pond when she had refused to listen to his plea for forgiveness, Gilbert, save for the aforesaid determined rivalry, had evinced no recognition whatever of the existence of Anne Shirley. He talked and jested with the other girls, exchanged books and puzzles with them, discussed lessons and plans, sometimes walked home with one or the other of them from prayer meeting or Debating Club. But Anne Shirley he simply ignored, and Anne found out that it is not pleasant to be ignored. It was in vain that she told herself with a toss of her head that she did not care. Deep down in her wayward, feminine little heart she knew that she did care, and that if she had that chance of the Lake of Shining Waters again she would answer very differently. All at once, as it seemed, and to her secret dismay, she found that the old resentment she had cherished against him was gone--gone just when she most needed its sustaining power. It was in vain that she recalled every incident and emotion of that memorable occasion and tried to feel the old satisfying anger. That day by the pond had witnessed its last spasmodic flicker. Anne realized that she had forgiven and forgotten without knowing it. But it was too late. And at least neither Gilbert nor anybody else, not even Diana, should ever suspect how sorry she was and how much she wished she hadn t been so proud and horrid! She determined to "shroud her feelings in deepest oblivion," and it may be stated here and now that she did it, so successfully that Gilbert, who possibly was not quite so indifferent as he seemed, could not console himself with any belief that Anne felt his retaliatory scorn. The only poor comfort he had was that she snubbed Charlie Sloane, unmercifully, continually, and undeservedly. Otherwise the winter passed away in a round of pleasant duties and studies. For Anne the days slipped by like golden beads on the necklace of the year. She was happy, eager, interested; there were lessons to be learned and honor to be won; delightful books to read; new pieces to be practiced for the Sunday-school choir; pleasant Saturday afternoons at the manse with Mrs. Allan; and then, almost before Anne realized it, spring had come again to Green Gables and all the world was abloom once more. Studies palled just a wee bit then; the Queen s class, left behind in school while the others scattered to green lanes and leafy wood cuts and meadow byways, looked wistfully out of the windows and discovered that Latin verbs and French exercises had somehow lost the tang and zest they had possessed in the crisp winter months. Even Anne and Gilbert lagged and grew indifferent. Teacher and taught were alike glad when the term was ended and the glad vacation days stretched rosily before them. "But you ve done good work this past year," Miss Stacy told them on the last evening, "and you deserve a good, jolly vacation. Have the best time you can in the out-of-door world and lay in a good stock of health and vitality and ambition to carry you through next year. It will be the tug of war, you know--the last year before the Entrance." "Are you going to be back next year, Miss Stacy?" asked Josie Pye. Josie Pye never scrupled to ask questions; in this instance the rest of the class felt grateful to her; none of them would have dared to ask it of Miss Stacy, but all wanted to, for there had been alarming rumors running at large through the school for some time that Miss Stacy was not coming back the next year--that she had been offered a position in the grade school of her own home district and meant to accept. The Queen s class listened in breathless suspense for her answer. "Yes, I think I will," said Miss Stacy. "I thought of taking another school, but I have decided to come back to Avonlea. To tell the truth, I ve grown so interested in my pupils here that I found I couldn t leave them. So I ll stay and see you through." "Hurrah!" said Moody Spurgeon. Moody Spurgeon had never been so carried away by his feelings before, and he blushed uncomfortably every time he thought about it for a week. "Oh, I m so glad," said Anne, with shining eyes. "Dear Stacy, it would be perfectly dreadful if you didn t come back. I don t believe I could have the heart to go on with my studies at all if another teacher came here." When Anne got home that night she stacked all her textbooks away in an old trunk in the attic, locked it, and threw the key into the blanket box. "I m not even going to look at a schoolbook in vacation," she told Marilla. "I ve studied as hard all the term as I possibly could and I ve pored over that geometry until I know every proposition in the first book off by heart, even when the letters ARE changed. I just feel tired of everything sensible and I m going to let my imagination run riot for the summer. Oh, you needn t be alarmed, Marilla. I ll only let it run riot within reasonable limits. But I want to have a real good jolly time this summer, for maybe it s the last summer I ll be a little girl. Mrs. Lynde says that if I keep stretching out next year as I ve done this I ll have to put on longer skirts. She says I m all running to legs and eyes. And when I put on longer skirts I shall feel that I have to live up to them and be very dignified. It won t even do to believe in fairies then, I m afraid; so I m going to believe in them with all my whole heart this summer. I think we re going to have a very gay vacation. Ruby Gillis is going to have a birthday party soon and there s the Sunday school picnic and the missionary concert next month. And Mr. Barry says that some evening he ll take Diana and me over to the White Sands Hotel and have dinner there. They have dinner there in the evening, you know. Jane Andrews was over once last summer and she says it was a dazzling sight to see the electric lights and the flowers and all the lady guests in such beautiful dresses. Jane says it was her first glimpse into high life and she ll never forget it to her dying day." Mrs. Lynde came up the next afternoon to find out why Marilla had not been at the Aid meeting on Thursday. When Marilla was not at Aid meeting people knew there was something wrong at Green Gables. "Matthew had a bad spell with his heart Thursday," Marilla explained, "and I didn t feel like leaving him. Oh, yes, he s all right again now, but he takes them spells oftener than he used to and I m anxious about him. The doctor says he must be careful to avoid excitement. That s easy enough, for Matthew doesn t go about looking for excitement by any means and never did, but he s not to do any very heavy work either and you might as well tell Matthew not to breathe as not to work. Come and lay off your things, Rachel. You ll stay to tea?" "Well, seeing you re so pressing, perhaps I might as well, stay" said Mrs. Rachel, who had not the slightest intention of doing anything else. Mrs. Rachel and Marilla sat comfortably in the parlor while Anne got the tea and made hot biscuits that were light and white enough to defy even Mrs. Rachel s criticism. "I must say Anne has turned out a real smart girl," admitted Mrs. Rachel, as Marilla accompanied her to the end of the lane at sunset. "She must be a great help to you." "She is," said Marilla, "and she s real steady and reliable now. I used to be afraid she d never get over her featherbrained ways, but she has and I wouldn t be afraid to trust her in anything now." "I never would have thought she d have turned out so well that first day I was here three years ago," said Mrs. Rachel. "Lawful heart, shall I ever forget that tantrum of hers! When I went home that night I says to Thomas, says I, `Mark my words, Thomas, Marilla Cuthbert ll live to rue the step she s took. But I was mistaken and I m real glad of it. I ain t one of those kind of people, Marilla, as can never be brought to own up that they ve made a mistake. No, that never was my way, thank goodness. I did make a mistake in judging Anne, but it weren t no wonder, for an odder, unexpecteder witch of a child there never was in this world, that s what. There was no ciphering her out by the rules that worked with other children. It s nothing short of wonderful how she s improved these three years, but especially in looks. She s a real pretty girl got to be, though I can t say I m overly partial to that pale, big-eyed style myself. I like more snap and color, like Diana Barry has or Ruby Gillis. Ruby Gillis s looks are real showy. But somehow--I don t know how it is but when Anne and them are together, though she ain t half as handsome, she makes them look kind of common and overdone-- something like them white June lilies she calls narcissus alongside of the big, red peonies, that s what."

CHAPTER IV UP CHAPTER VI CHAPTER V Anne s History "Do you know," said Anne confidentially, "I ve made up my mind to enjoy this drive. It s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will. Of course, you must make it up FIRMLY. I am not going to think about going back to the asylum while we re having our drive. I m just going to think about the drive. Oh, look, there s one little early wild rose out! Isn t it lovely? Don t you think it must be glad to be a rose? Wouldn t it be nice if roses could talk? I m sure they could tell us such lovely things. And isn t pink the most bewitching color in the world? I love it, but I can t wear it. Redheaded people can t wear pink, not even in imagination. Did you ever know of anybody whose hair was red when she was young, but got to be another color when she grew up?" "No, I don t know as I ever did," said Marilla mercilessly, "and I shouldn t think it likely to happen in your case either." Anne sighed. "Well, that is another hope gone. `My life is a perfect graveyard of buried hopes. That s a sentence I read in a book once, and I say it over to comfort myself whenever I m disappointed in anything." "I don t see where the comforting comes in myself," said Marilla. "Why, because it sounds so nice and romantic, just as if I were a heroine in a book, you know. I am so fond of romantic things, and a graveyard full of buried hopes is about as romantic a thing as one can imagine isn t it? I m rather glad I have one. Are we going across the Lake of Shining Waters today?" "We re not going over Barry s pond, if that s what you mean by your Lake of Shining Waters. We re going by the shore road." "Shore road sounds nice," said Anne dreamily. "Is it as nice as it sounds? Just when you said `shore road I saw it in a picture in my mind, as quick as that! And White Sands is a pretty name, too; but I don t like it as well as Avonlea. Avonlea is a lovely name. It just sounds like music. How far is it to White Sands?" "It s five miles; and as you re evidently bent on talking you might as well talk to some purpose by telling me what you know about yourself." "Oh, what I KNOW about myself isn t really worth telling," said Anne eagerly. "If you ll only let me tell you what I IMAGINE about myself you ll think it ever so much more interesting." "No, I don t want any of your imaginings. Just you stick to bald facts. Begin at the beginning. Where were you born and how old are you?" "I was eleven last March," said Anne, resigning herself to bald facts with a little sigh. "And I was born in Bolingbroke, Nova Scotia. My father s name was Walter Shirley, and he was a teacher in the Bolingbroke High School. My mother s name was Bertha Shirley. Aren t Walter and Bertha lovely names? I m so glad my parents had nice names. It would be a real disgrace to have a father named--well, say Jedediah, wouldn t it?" "I guess it doesn t matter what a person s name is as long as he behaves himself," said Marilla, feeling herself called upon to inculcate a good and useful moral. "Well, I don t know." Anne looked thoughtful. "I read in a book once that a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but I ve never been able to believe it. I don t believe a rose WOULD be as nice if it was called a thistle or a skunk cabbage. I suppose my father could have been a good man even if he had been called Jedediah; but I m sure it would have been a cross. Well, my mother was a teacher in the High school, too, but when she married father she gave up teaching, of course. A husband was enough responsibility. Mrs. Thomas said that they were a pair of babies and as poor as church mice. They went to live in a weeny-teeny little yellow house in Bolingbroke. I ve never seen that house, but I ve imagined it thousands of times. I think it must have had honeysuckle over the parlor window and lilacs in the front yard and lilies of the valley just inside the gate. Yes, and muslin curtains in all the windows. Muslin curtains give a house such an air. I was born in that house. Mrs. Thomas said I was the homeliest baby she ever saw, I was so scrawny and tiny and nothing but eyes, but that mother thought I was perfectly beautiful. I should think a mother would be a better judge than a poor woman who came in to scrub, wouldn t you? I m glad she was satisfied with me anyhow, I would feel so sad if I thought I was a disappointment to her--because she didn t live very long after that, you see. She died of fever when I was just three months old. I do wish she d lived long enough for me to remember calling her mother. I think it would be so sweet to say `mother, don t you? And father died four days afterwards from fever too. That left me an orphan and folks were at their wits end, so Mrs. Thomas said, what to do with me. You see, nobody wanted me even then. It seems to be my fate. Father and mother had both come from places far away and it was well known they hadn t any relatives living. Finally Mrs. Thomas said she d take me, though she was poor and had a drunken husband. She brought me up by hand. Do you know if there is anything in being brought up by hand that ought to make people who are brought up that way better than other people? Because whenever I was naughty Mrs. Thomas would ask me how I could be such a bad girl when she had brought me up by hand-- reproachful-like. "Mr. and Mrs. Thomas moved away from Bolingbroke to Marysville, and I lived with them until I was eight years old. I helped look after the Thomas children--there were four of them younger than me--and I can tell you they took a lot of looking after. Then Mr. Thomas was killed falling under a train and his mother offered to take Mrs. Thomas and the children, but she didn t want me. Mrs. Thomas was at HER wits end, so she said, what to do with me. Then Mrs. Hammond from up the river came down and said she d take me, seeing I was handy with children, and I went up the river to live with her in a little clearing among the stumps. It was a very lonesome place. I m sure I could never have lived there if I hadn t had an imagination. Mr. Hammond worked a little sawmill up there, and Mrs. Hammond had eight children. She had twins three times. I like babies in moderation, but twins three times in succession is TOO MUCH. I told Mrs. Hammond so firmly, when the last pair came. I used to get so dreadfully tired carrying them about. "I lived up river with Mrs. Hammond over two years, and then Mr. Hammond died and Mrs. Hammond broke up housekeeping. She divided her children among her relatives and went to the States. I had to go to the asylum at Hopeton, because nobody would take me. They didn t want me at the asylum, either; they said they were over- crowded as it was. But they had to take me and I was there four months until Mrs. Spencer came." Anne finished up with another sigh, of relief this time. Evidently she did not like talking about her experiences in a world that had not wanted her. "Did you ever go to school?" demanded Marilla, turning the sorrel mare down the shore road. "Not a great deal. I went a little the last year I stayed with Mrs. Thomas. When I went up river we were so far from a school that I couldn t walk it in winter and there was a vacation in summer, so I could only go in the spring and fall. But of course I went while I was at the asylum. I can read pretty well and I know ever so many pieces of poetry off by heart--`The Battle of Hohenlinden and `Edinburgh after Flodden, and `Bingen of the Rhine, and most of the `Lady of the Lake and most of `The Seasons by James Thompson. Don t you just love poetry that gives you a crinkly feeling up and down your back? There is a piece in the Fifth Reader--`The Downfall of Poland --that is just full of thrills. Of course, I wasn t in the Fifth Reader--I was only in the Fourth--but the big girls used to lend me theirs to read." "Were those women--Mrs. Thomas and Mrs. Hammond--good to you?" asked Marilla, looking at Anne out of the corner of her eye. "O-o-o-h," faltered Anne. Her sensitive little face suddenly flushed scarlet and embarrassment sat on her brow. "Oh, they MEANT to be--I know they meant to be just as good and kind as possible. And when people mean to be good to you, you don t mind very much when they re not quite--always. They had a good deal to worry them, you know. It s very trying to have a drunken husband, you see; and it must be very trying to have twins three times in succession, don t you think? But I feel sure they meant to be good to me." Marilla asked no more questions. Anne gave herself up to a silent rapture over the shore road and Marilla guided the sorrel abstractedly while she pondered deeply. Pity was suddenly stirring in her heart for the child. What a starved, unloved life she had had--a life of drudgery and poverty and neglect; for Marilla was shrewd enough to read between the lines of Anne s history and divine the truth. No wonder she had been so delighted at the prospect of a real home. It was a pity she had to be sent back. What if she, Marilla, should indulge Matthew s unaccountable whim and let her stay? He was set on it; and the child seemed a nice, teachable little thing. "She s got too much to say," thought Marilla, "but she might be trained out of that. And there s nothing rude or slangy in what she does say. She s ladylike. It s likely her people were nice folks." The shore road was "woodsy and wild and lonesome." On the right hand, scrub firs, their spirits quite unbroken by long years of tussle with the gulf winds, grew thickly. On the left were the steep red sandstone cliffs, so near the track in places that a mare of less steadiness than the sorrel might have tried the nerves of the people behind her. Down at the base of the cliffs were heaps of surf-worn rocks or little sandy coves inlaid with pebbles as with ocean jewels; beyond lay the sea, shimmering and blue, and over it soared the gulls, their pinions flashing silvery in the sunlight. "Isn t the sea wonderful?" said Anne, rousing from a long, wide-eyed silence. "Once, when I lived in Marysville, Mr. Thomas hired an express wagon and took us all to spend the day at the shore ten miles away. I enjoyed every moment of that day, even if I had to look after the children all the time. I lived it over in happy dreams for years. But this shore is nicer than the Marysville shore. Aren t those gulls splendid? Would you like to be a gull? I think I would--that is, if I couldn t be a human girl. Don t you think it would be nice to wake up at sunrise and swoop down over the water and away out over that lovely blue all day; and then at night to fly back to one s nest? Oh, I can just imagine myself doing it. What big house is that just ahead, please?" "That s the White Sands Hotel. Mr. Kirke runs it, but the season hasn t begun yet. There are heaps of Americans come there for the summer. They think this shore is just about right." "I was afraid it might be Mrs. Spencer s place," said Anne mournfully. "I don t want to get there. Somehow, it will seem like the end of everything." CHAPTER IV UP CHAPTER VI 今日 - | 昨日 - | Total - since 04 June 2007 last update 2007-06-05 01 31 52 (Tue)

CHAPTER VIII UP CHAPTER X CHAPTER IX Mrs. Rachel Lynde Is Properly Horrified Anne had been a fortnight at Green Gables before Mrs. Lynde arrived to inspect her. Mrs. Rachel, to do her justice, was not to blame for this. A severe and unseasonable attack of grippe had confined that good lady to her house ever since the occasion of her last visit to Green Gables. Mrs. Rachel was not often sick and had a well-defined contempt for people who were; but grippe, she asserted, was like no other illness on earth and could only be interpreted as one of the special visitations of Providence. As soon as her doctor allowed her to put her foot out-of-doors she hurried up to Green Gables, bursting with curiosity to see Matthew and Marilla s orphan, concerning whom all sorts of stories and suppositions had gone abroad in Avonlea. Anne had made good use of every waking moment of that fortnight. Already she was acquainted with every tree and shrub about the place. She had discovered that a lane opened out below the apple orchard and ran up through a belt of woodland; and she had explored it to its furthest end in all its delicious vagaries of brook and bridge, fir coppice and wild cherry arch, corners thick with fern, and branching byways of maple and mountain ash. She had made friends with the spring down in the hollow-- that wonderful deep, clear icy-cold spring; it was set about with smooth red sandstones and rimmed in by great palm-like clumps of water fern; and beyond it was a log bridge over the brook. That bridge led Anne s dancing feet up over a wooded hill beyond, where perpetual twilight reigned under the straight, thick-growing firs and spruces; the only flowers there were myriads of delicate "June bells," those shyest and sweetest of woodland blooms, and a few pale, aerial starflowers, like the spirits of last year s blossoms. Gossamers glimmered like threads of silver among the trees and the fir boughs and tassels seemed to utter friendly speech. All these raptured voyages of exploration were made in the odd half hours which she was allowed for play, and Anne talked Matthew and Marilla half-deaf over her discoveries. Not that Matthew complained, to be sure; he listened to it all with a wordless smile of enjoyment on his face; Marilla permitted the "chatter" until she found herself becoming too interested in it, whereupon she always promptly quenched Anne by a curt command to hold her tongue. Anne was out in the orchard when Mrs. Rachel came, wandering at her own sweet will through the lush, tremu- lous grasses splashed with ruddy evening sunshine; so that good lady had an excellent chance to talk her illness fully over, describing every ache and pulse beat with such evident enjoyment that Marilla thought even grippe must bring its compensations. When details were exhausted Mrs. Rachel introduced the real reason of her call. "I ve been hearing some surprising things about you and Matthew." "I don t suppose you are any more surprised than I am myself," said Marilla. "I m getting over my surprise now." "It was too bad there was such a mistake," said Mrs. Rachel sympathetically. "Couldn t you have sent her back?" "I suppose we could, but we decided not to. Matthew took a fancy to her. And I must say I like her myself-- although I admit she has her faults. The house seems a different place already. She s a real bright little thing." Marilla said more than she had intended to say when she began, for she read disapproval in Mrs. Rachel s expression. "It s a great responsibility you ve taken on yourself," said that lady gloomily, "especially when you ve never had any experience with children. You don t know much about her or her real disposition, I suppose, and there s no guessing how a child like that will turn out. But I don t want to discourage you I m sure, Marilla." "I m not feeling discouraged," was Marilla s dry response. "when I make up my mind to do a thing it stays made up. I suppose you d like to see Anne. I ll call her in." Anne came running in presently, her face sparkling with the delight of her orchard rovings; but, abashed at finding the delight herself in the unexpected presence of a stranger, she halted confusedly inside the door. She certainly was an odd-looking little creature in the short tight wincey dress she had worn from the asylum, below which her thin legs seemed ungracefully long. Her freckles were more numerous and obtrusive than ever; the wind had ruffled her hatless hair into over-brilliant disorder; it had never looked redder than at that moment. "Well, they didn t pick you for your looks, that s sure and certain," was Mrs. Rachel Lynde s emphatic comment. Mrs. Rachel was one of those delightful and popular people who pride themselves on speaking their mind without fear or favor. "She s terrible skinny and homely, Marilla. Come here, child, and let me have a look at you. Lawful heart, did any one ever see such freckles? And hair as red as carrots! Come here, child, I say." Anne "came there," but not exactly as Mrs. Rachel expected. With one bound she crossed the kitchen floor and stood before Mrs. Rachel, her face scarlet with anger, her lips quivering, and her whole slender form trembling from head to foot. "I hate you," she cried in a choked voice, stamping her foot on the floor. "I hate you--I hate you--I hate you--" a louder stamp with each assertion of hatred. "How dare you call me skinny and ugly? How dare you say I m freckled and redheaded? You are a rude, impolite, unfeeling woman!" "Anne!" exclaimed Marilla in consternation. But Anne continued to face Mrs. Rachel undauntedly, head up, eyes blazing, hands clenched, passionate indignation exhaling from her like an atmosphere. "How dare you say such things about me?" she repeated vehemently. "How would you like to have such things said about you? How would you like to be told that you are fat and clumsy and probably hadn t a spark of imagination in you? I don t care if I do hurt your feelings by saying so! I hope I hurt them. You have hurt mine worse than they were ever hurt before even by Mrs. Thomas intoxicated husband. And I ll NEVER forgive you for it, never, never!" Stamp! Stamp! "Did anybody ever see such a temper!" exclaimed the horrified Mrs. Rachel. "Anne go to your room and stay there until I come up," said Marilla, recovering her powers of speech with difficulty. Anne, bursting into tears, rushed to the hall door, slammed it until the tins on the porch wall outside rattled in sympathy, and fled through the hall and up the stairs like a whirlwind. A subdued slam above told that the door of the east gable had been shut with equal vehemence. "Well, I don t envy you your job bringing THAT up, Marilla," said Mrs. Rachel with unspeakable solemnity. Marilla opened her lips to say she knew not what of apology or deprecation. What she did say was a surprise to herself then and ever afterwards. "You shouldn t have twitted her about her looks, Rachel." "Marilla Cuthbert, you don t mean to say that you are upholding her in such a terrible display of temper as we ve just seen?" demanded Mrs. Rachel indignantly. "No," said Marilla slowly, "I m not trying to excuse her. She s been very naughty and I ll have to give her a talking to about it. But we must make allowances for her. She s never been taught what is right. And you WERE too hard on her, Rachel." Marilla could not help tacking on that last sentence, although she was again surprised at herself for doing it. Mrs. Rachel got up with an air of offended dignity. "Well, I see that I ll have to be very careful what I say after this, Marilla, since the fine feelings of orphans, brought from goodness knows where, have to be considered before anything else. Oh, no, I m not vexed--don t worry yourself. I m too sorry for you to leave any room for anger in my mind. You ll have your own troubles with that child. But if you ll take my advice--which I suppose you won t do, although I ve brought up ten children and buried two--you ll do that `talking to you mention with a fair- sized birch switch. I should think THAT would be the most effective language for that kind of a child. Her temper matches her hair I guess. Well, good evening, Marilla. I hope you ll come down to see me often as usual. But you can t expect me to visit here again in a hurry, if I m liable to be flown at and insulted in such a fashion. It s something new in MY experience." Whereat Mrs. Rachel swept out and away--if a fat woman who always waddled COULD be said to sweep away--and Marilla with a very solemn face betook herself to the east gable. On the way upstairs she pondered uneasily as to what she ought to do. She felt no little dismay over the scene that had just been enacted. How unfortunate that Anne should have displayed such temper before Mrs. Rachel Lynde, of all people! Then Marilla suddenly became aware of an uncomfortable and rebuking consciousness that she felt more humiliation over this than sorrow over the discovery of such a serious defect in Anne s disposition. And how was she to punish her? The amiable suggestion of the birch switch--to the efficiency of which all of Mrs. Rachel s own children could have borne smarting testimony-- did not appeal to Marilla. She did not believe she could whip a child. No, some other method of punishment must be found to bring Anne to a proper realization of the enormity of her offense. Marilla found Anne face downward on her bed, crying bitterly, quite oblivious of muddy boots on a clean counterpane. "Anne," she said not ungently. No answer. "Anne," with greater severity, "get off that bed this minute and listen to what I have to say to you." Anne squirmed off the bed and sat rigidly on a chair beside it, her face swollen and tear-stained and her eyes fixed stubbornly on the floor. "This is a nice way for you to behave. Anne! Aren t you ashamed of yourself?" "She hadn t any right to call me ugly and redheaded," retorted Anne, evasive and defiant. "You hadn t any right to fly into such a fury and talk the way you did to her, Anne. I was ashamed of you-- thoroughly ashamed of you. I wanted you to behave nicely to Mrs. Lynde, and instead of that you have disgraced me. I m sure I don t know why you should lose your temper like that just because Mrs. Lynde said you were red-haired and homely. You say it yourself often enough." "Oh, but there s such a difference between saying a thing yourself and hearing other people say it," wailed Anne. "You may know a thing is so, but you can t help hoping other people don t quite think it is. I suppose you think I have an awful temper, but I couldn t help it. When she said those things something just rose right up in me and choked me. I HAD to fly out at her." "Well, you made a fine exhibition of yourself I must say. Mrs. Lynde will have a nice story to tell about you everywhere--and she ll tell it, too. It was a dreadful thing for you to lose your temper like that, Anne." "Just imagine how you would feel if somebody told you to your face that you were skinny and ugly," pleaded Anne tearfully. An old remembrance suddenly rose up before Marilla. She had been a very small child when she had heard one aunt say of her to another, "What a pity she is such a dark, homely little thing." Marilla was every day of fifty before the sting had gone out of that memory. "I don t say that I think Mrs. Lynde was exactly right in saying what she did to you, Anne," she admitted in a softer tone. "Rachel is too outspoken. But that is no excuse for such behavior on your part. She was a stranger and an elderly person and my visitor--all three very good reasons why you should have been respectful to her. You were rude and saucy and"--Marilla had a saving inspiration of punishment--"you must go to her and tell her you are very sorry for your bad temper and ask her to forgive you." "I can never do that," said Anne determinedly and darkly. "You can punish me in any way you like, Marilla. You can shut me up in a dark, damp dungeon inhabited by snakes and toads and feed me only on bread and water and I shall not complain. But I cannot ask Mrs. Lynde to forgive me." "We re not in the habit of shutting people up in dark damp dungeons," said Marilla drily, "especially as they re rather scarce in Avonlea. But apologize to Mrs. Lynde you must and shall and you ll stay here in your room until you can tell me you re willing to do it." "I shall have to stay here forever then," said Anne mournfully, "because I can t tell Mrs. Lynde I m sorry I said those things to her. How can I? I m NOT sorry. I m sorry I ve vexed you; but I m GLAD I told her just what I did. It was a great satisfaction. I can t say I m sorry when I m not, can I? I can t even IMAGINE I m sorry." "Perhaps your imagination will be in better working order by the morning," said Marilla, rising to depart. "You ll have the night to think over your conduct in and come to a better frame of mind. You said you would try to be a very good girl if we kept you at Green Gables, but I must say it hasn t seemed very much like it this evening." Leaving this Parthian shaft to rankle in Anne s stormy bosom, Marilla descended to the kitchen, grievously troubled in mind and vexed in soul. She was as angry with herself as with Anne, because, whenever she recalled Mrs. Rachel s dumbfounded countenance her lips twitched with amusement and she felt a most reprehensible desire to laugh.

An attempt to piece together the history of Wraeclast from clues from NPC dialog, item flavour text, and other canonical sources in Path of Exile. Where possible, information is presented from an in-universe point of view, at the time the game begins. Note Because information from sources like Insider Newsletters is very likely to change before it makes it into the game, while in-game lore is relatively fixed (or at least, changes can be fairly easily tracked), only in-game lore has been consulted. If you have interesting lore from other places, though, stick it on the Discussion page! VaalTears of Maji Atziri and Doryani The End of Vaal Civilization (c. 400 BIC) The AzmeriEncountering the Vaal (c. 900-400 BIC) Imperialus Conceptus (1 IC) Light of Phrecia Maligaro The Peak The Purity Rebellion (1333 - 1st Sacrato of Phreci 1334) The Ezomytes (3rd Fiero of Dirivi 1333)The KaruiDefeat of Marcus Lioneye Shavronne and Brutus Prisoner's Gate Corruption of the Karui The Maraketh (3rd Galvano of Vitali 1333 IC) The Siege of Sarn (last day of Divini 1334 IC - 1st Sacrato of Phreci) The Reign of Voll (2nd Sacrato of Phreci 1334 - c. 1339)The Rapture Device (1336 IC) The Cataclysm (c. 1339) Oriath Modern Times (c. 1600 IC) Vaal The Vaal are the oldest known race in Wraeclast, almost completely forgotten in modern times. They built the Vaal Ruins that entombed a weird darkness, they built the Ancient Pyramid, and presumably they also built the Vaal Oversoul, or at least its mechanical frame. A number of the monsters in the Vaal-created areas are called "constructs" (Ancient Construct, Vaal Construct, Serpentine Construct) so presumably they had some biological or thaumaturgical technology. Although the Vaal civilisation was peaceful, they practiced human sacrifice. Tears of Maji The Vaal were also the first to use virtue gems, known to them as "Tears of Maji". Icius Perandus claims that "The Vaal were even more steeped in gem culture than our Emperor and his Gemlings . It s an obsession as old as civilization itself." in one of the Golden Pages. Siosa s translation of the first Golden Page also mentions that the Vaal gathered their virtue gems at "Doryani s Cradle" to ensure the Vaal civilization s future. The nature and purpose of this cradle is uncertain. Given the fact that Eramir claims it was the Vaal that began the use of virtue gems and the fact that Siosa claims that "gem culture" is as old "as civilization itself", one may assume that the Vaal were the very first civilization. Atziri and Doryani The last queen of the Vaal was named Atziri, who owned fabulous treasure. She allegedly sacrificed all those who opposed her, as Siosa s translation of the second Golden Page mentions that she "drenches her altars with the blood of those deranged enough to question her vision". She appears to have been the patron of Doryani - a thaumaturgist - similar to Chitus s patronage of Malachai. It is said that she "wished to see her likeness reflected in the still waters of history." indicating a vain personality. Siosa mentions that Doryani was a man of "divine talent and demented ambition", comparing him to Malachai. He presumably was a Vaal thaumaturgist of sorts, given the comparison to Malachai. Atziri sought immortality and eternal youth, inspired by the Vaalish noble and serial killer Zerphi. Zerphi lived for 168 years, yet "it is claimed that Zerphi did not possess the body of a 168-year old, rather that, his corpse had the physiognomy of a man twenty years, no more." It is implied that Zerphi had some method of stealing the youth of his victims. Towards reproducing this feat, Atziri sent young men and women to be "processed" by Doryani, in numbers so large that their names filled "page upon page". It is likely this quest was related to the end of the Vaal civilization. The End of Vaal Civilization (c. 400 BIC) The Vaal civilisation seems to have ended as the result of some internal event rather than external conquest. This event may be the mysterious "communion" the Vaal were seeking before their demise according to Icius Perandus as is written in one of the Golden Pages "A communion... but with what? By all accounts, it wasn t God that the Vaal were trying to reach.". Said communion took place during the harvest moon, and Doryani was at the heart of this event. Both Atziri and Doryani died in the cataclysm, as did many others. Some people also "changed" (possibly a reference to the Vaal Fallen found in the Pyramid?). On the Golden Page (Siosa s translation, not the flavour text) that mentions this, the words "sleep", "nightmare" and "the Beast" are also mentioned, and that the Vaal have "failed" themselves. This may be a reference to the Vaal Oversoul, which is also called "nightmare" in game by some of the classes. Siosa believes the end of Vaal civilization must have been very similar to the fall of Sarn. Patching this information together, it may be that the Vaal were expecting to save their civilization at a so-called "communion", which was possibly related to Doryani s "cradle" of virtue gems, and that this communion caused the cataclysm (waking the Oversoul which is defeated at the end of Act 2, and turning many Vaal people into the Vaal Fallen which are also found in the Ancient Pyramid in Act 2). The Azmeri Encountering the Vaal (c. 900-400 BIC) The Azmeri people hail from the Azmerian Mountains. They first encountered the Vaal about 500 years before the Vaal fell, or about 900 BIC. The Vaal helped the fledgling Azmeri civilization advance, but guarded their knowledge of Virtue Gems. After the Vaal fell, 3,126 Vaal refugees assimilated into the Azmeri civilization. Imperialus Conceptus (1 IC) Tarcus Veruso descended from the mountains with his eighty thousand tribesmen and women through the doomlands to Azala Vaal. There he planted his banner upon Atziri s grave and with these words founded our great and eternal empire. "The Vaal closed their eyes to flesh and stone, to blood and bronze. We are not Vaal. We are Azmeri. For now and forever, our eyes are open." Veruso build his capital upon the bones of Azala Vaal and baptized it Sarn. From there, Veruso formed the first Legions and proceeded to conquer the lands beneath the Mantle, clearing it of the mindless constructs and fierce abominations left in the wake of The Fall. True to his word, Veruso ensured that his people lived "with eyes open". The ancient Vaalish centres of learning and power were sealed and quarantined. Thaumaturgy was outlawed and those who stained themselves with Vaalish folly were burned for their sin. The Tears of the Maji, too dangerous to be destroyed, were gathered up, taken to Highgate, and buried within the bowels of the mountains. The caverns there were sealed and forgotten. A supreme effort to erase the past. A primitive reaction born of primitive times, in the opinion of this humble historian. The Ancients, Book 6 Book 6 Imperialus Conceptus Imperialus Conceptus, the founding of the Eternal Empire, occurred 400 years after the fall of the Vaal. Light of Phrecia Five years after his father s death, Emperor Caspiro, too, was dead. Although accounts of the exact details differ, one clear fact is agreed upon. Caspiro was dismembered by something referred to simply as a dark being. It was General Alano Phrecia who avenged the Emepror s death and who triumphed in driving away the pervasive darkness enveloping what would become the imperial heartlands. Though it seems fanciful to contemplate a portion of our Empire cast into perpetual night, Azmerian writers of the time are unified in their depiction. Perhaps it was caused by peculiar weather patterns or some thaumaturgical residue of The Fall. On this matter, this humble historian is left in the uncomfortable state of pure conjecture. On the first Sacrato of Lurici, 35 I.C., Alano himself wrote that "our legions drove the dark being deep into the recesses of its lair and sealed it away for eternity". Having returned the gaze of Solaris to those lands stretching from the foot of the Mantle to the Axiom Ranges, Alano Phrecia returned to Sarn. In the absence of a clear Veruso succession, Alano was crowned emperor and the Imperial heartlands were named in his honour. With the former realm of the Vaal thus tamed and settled by our Azmerian ancestors, the Eternal Empire saw a long period of peace and prosperity under an unbroken line of Phrecia emperors. "To care for this Empire with eyes open." - A traditional vow made by the High Templar upon the coronation of an Eternal Emperor. The Ancients, Book 7 Light of Phrecia Maligaro At some point in the Empire s history, there was a thaumaturgist named Maligaro (his equipment and laboratory is found in the Chamber of Sins, whose architecture resembles Lunaris Temple in Sarn). Maligaro s research centred on virtue gems and how their qualities might be transferred to humans. His main technique was to inject the "essence" of a gem via a device called Maligaro s Spike although it never seemed to work terribly well. Apart from the Spike, Maligaro created elementals and a mysterious darkness that covered the land At the end of his life he created the Baleful Gem—either a synthetic virtue gem, or a corrupted one—for an unknown purpose. The Peak We don t know how much land the Empire covered before its sudden demise, but we do know it was divided at least into the Outer Empire (the southern coast from The Prisoner s Gate down past Lioneye s Watch) and the Inner Empire (everything north and inland of Prisoner s Gate). The Empire s capital at that time was Sarn, and despite the centuries of neglect, the remaining architecture suggests the Empire was fairly prosperous. The emperor at the time was Chitus, although we don t know much about him beyond his ignorance of the forces that would destroy him. While the Empire s citizens were Azmeri, the slaves were of other races, including Ezomytes, Maraketh and Karui. It seems these other races were not native to Wraeclast, or at least not the part of Wraeclast covered by the Empire, but were separate contemporary civilisations. At the time, the leading thaumaturgist was Malachai. Like Maligaro he experimented with virtue gems, but unlike Maligaro he just surgically implanted them into his test subjects, and his efforts met with far more success than Maligaro s. Malachai had slaves mining virtue gems and Thaumetic Sulphite and a supply of test subjects from the emperor. The results of this surgical process were known as Gemlings. Emperor Chitus said "These glorious gems have brought us within spitting distance of godhood", and the Empire s defences included at least one Gemling legion. Malachai s most famous creation, however, was known as the Gemling Queen. She was originally a "favourite" of Emperor Chitus named Dialla, but annoyed him and was given to Malachai to experiment on. She fell in love with him and he reshaped her into a most impressive Gemling. The Purity Rebellion (1333 - 1st Sacrato of Phreci 1334) Righteous and devoted to both faith and country, High Templar Voll struck little hardship in gathering others to his godly cause; Sarn s own Lord Mayor Ondar and Victario, the People s Poet; Archbishop Geofri of Phrecia; Governor Kastov of Stridevolf; and Commander Adus of Highgate. Together, these Warriors of Purity forged an uprising against the Gemling thaumatocracy that Voll hoped would "Snatch this empire from the claws of devilry and return it to humanity." The Purity Chronicles, Book 1 Embers of Insurrection Meanwhile, outside the Imperial Court and thaumaturgists laboratories, discontent grew. A movement named the Purity Rebellion sought to overthrow Emperor Chitus and destroy the thaumaturgists and their Gemlings. The Purity Rebellion was led by High Templar Voll, the overall leader. Victario, the People s Poet. Lord Mayor Ondar of Sarn. Archbishop Geofri of Phrecia. Governor Kastov of Stridevolf. Commander Adus of Highgate. The Purity Rebellion sought help in many places Victario raised support among the common citizens of the Empire Victario sought help from Thane Rigwald of Ezomyr, perhaps a vassal nation. Voll sought help from King Kaom of the Karui Voll also sought help from Sekhema Deshret of the Maraketh. The Ezomytes (3rd Fiero of Dirivi 1333) High Templar Voll had Victario entreat Thane Rigwald of Ezomyr, knowing that a poet would fare far better than any politician at rousing the romantic Ezomytes to rebellion. Stirred by Victario s impassioned words, Rigwald mustered his blood-bound clans, and on the 3rd Fiero of Dirivi 1333 IC, took to the fields of Glarryn in open rebellion against Governor Gaius Sentari. Such was the colourful splendour of a thousand tartans and banners that the Ezomyte uprising became known as "The Bloody Flowers Rebellion". Though Sentari s Gemling legionnaires skew three Ezomytes for every one of their own fallen, the Bloody Flowers won the day through sheer fury-driven courage. Governor Sentari fled to Sarn, only to return in Astrali with reinforcements drawn from the capital, Vastiri, and southern garrisons. Little did Sentari know that, by so weakening those forces, he was playing right in to Voll s hands. The Purity Chronicles, Book 2 Bloody Flowers It is possible that the Battle of the Bridge was part of this campaign. The Karui Defeat of Marcus Lioneye Meanwhile, in the Outer Empire, King Kaom and a Karui war host landed on the The Coast. They attacked and defeated Marcus Lioneye s Eternal Legion, stationed at Lioneye s Watch. In a man-to-man fight on open ground, a Gemling Legion would have slaughtered Kaom s Karui warriors like so many pigs in a pen. But Kaom had no intention of engaging Lioneye in a fair fight. By absorbing some heavy losses and feigning a chaotic retreat, Kaom drew Marceus into ordering his Gemlings to abandon their tower shields so that they might pursue and rout the fleeing Karui. It was not out of recklessness that Lioneye plucked such a decision, but from the experience-born confidence that the Karui did not have archers. Traditionally, Karui warriors are forbidden from using projectile weapons of any kind. What Lioneye understandably overlooked was that this tavukai (sacred prohibition) did not extend to women. At her uncle s behest, Hyrri had traveled to Thebrus and studied archery with Voll s finest military tutors. When the legionnaires shed protection in favor of mobility, Hyrri and her bow-women broke cover and rained death upon the Gemlings from the cliffs above. A valiant Marceus Lioneye gathered his surviving legionnaires for a final stand within the walls of Lioneye s Watch. Kaom honored his bravery by wearing Marceus bejeweled head upon his belt from that day on. Having secured a safe harbour for landing reinforcements, Kaom continued his conquest of the coast, slaughtering the Eternal citizens and clearing the way for the first ever settlement of Karui on the Wraeclastian mainland. The Purity Rebellion, Book 3 Fall of a Jade Axe Shavronne and Brutus The Empire s second line of defence was a thaumaturgist named Shavronne, from a group of people or a location known as Umbra. When she realised Lioneye would fall to Kaom, Shavronne raced to the next defensible structure up the coast, Axiom Prison. She tricked or convinced the warden, Brutus, into allowing her to make him into a super-human monster capable of defeating the Karui. Brutus was never defeated by the Karui, although we don t know if they ever bothered attacking Axiom Prison. Although Karui carvings are found beyond Axiom Prison in the Coves, they might not have travelled there via Axiom; since the Karui possessed canoe technology they may have just travelled by sea up the coast. Prisoner s Gate Shavronne erected a thaumaturgical barrier as a third line of defence against the Karui, in the pass between Prisoner s Gate and the Western Forest. Whether they tried to break through it and failed, or whether they never bothered trying, the Karui ceased their advance when they reached Siren s Song Cove. Corruption of the Karui After their victory, the Karui settled on the coast. However, their good fortune was be short-lived, as they were corrupted by the Cataclysm, resulting in social unrest, raising of undead, and twisting of the wildlife. Kaom himself was eventually corrupted, likely meeting his end in Merveil s Lair. His niece Hyrri led the remaining five hundred Karui families back to the Karui homeland of Ngamakanui. The Maraketh (3rd Galvano of Vitali 1333 IC) In return for her military support in the rebellion, Voll promised Sekhema Deshret the return of the Maraketh grazing lands stolen during the imperial conquest of the Vastiri Plains. The Red Sekhema agreed on one condition, that she might have Hector Titucius skin with which to fashion a Rhoa saddle. To this end, Voll and Deshret engineered a trap for General Titucius and his Vastiri Legion. The Maraketh had long been able to predict the comings and goings of the vast and vicious dust storms that constantly plague the plains. Deshret located one such fledgling maelstrom within a day s march of Titucius camp. For his part, Voll identified a number of imperial spies amongst the Maraketh and fed them false information regarding a potential tribal uprising. Taking the bait, Titucius and his Gemling legion surround the supplied location, thus placing himself squarely in the path of Deshret s dust storm. On the third Galvano of Vitali 1333 IC, the tempest descended upon Titucius legion with blinding, deafening ferocity. Deshret s akhara, born and raised in dust and wind, swept through the legion, harvesting it like a field of ripe corn. Once storm and Maraketh fury had abated, the Vastiri Legion existed only as a multitude of dust-cloaked mounds. The Red Sekhema claimed her prize and it is said that there is no more comfortable saddle in all of Vastiri than Deshret s. The Purity Chronicles, Book 4 The Red Sekhema s Saddle The Siege of Sarn (last day of Divini 1334 IC - 1st Sacrato of Phreci) On the last day of Divini 1334 IC, High Templar Voll laid siege to Sarn. Commander Adus of Highgate soon joined him, bringing his legion and a horde of miners to bolster the Army of Purity s ranks. Thus surounded, Emperor Chitus rallied his Gemlings for a desperate defence of the capital. His efforts were cut short by Lord Mayor Ondar who, on the 2nd Kaso of Derivi, stabbed Chitus to death on the steps of the Scepter of God. With Victario s help, Ondar was able to flee through the sewers and escape to Voll s encampment. But Ondar s term as the Hero of Purity was a short one. Two weeks later he was found by Victario s men in the Sarn sewers, seated and cross-legged, with his severed head in his lap. It was later discovered that the Perandus family had hired Coralito of the Silent Brotherhood to pluck Ondar from Voll s camp and deliver their vengeance for Chitus murder. Yet despite their desperate efforts, Chitus mourners were unable to save their city. Faced with Victario s uprisings in the Slums, Docks, and Warehouse districts, and constant attacks from without, Lord Cadiro Perandus met with Voll on the 1st Sacrato of Phreci and offered Sarn s unconditional surrender. Voll and his Army of Purity marched through the gates of the capital and less than a week later Voll of Thebrus was crowned Emperor. The Purity Chronicles, Book 4 The Emperor is Dead. Long Live the Emperor. The Reign of Voll (2nd Sacrato of Phreci 1334 - c. 1339) "He soared to power on the smoke of burning witches". So the surviving Gemlings whispered of Voll of Thebrus, as he donned the Imperial crown on the 2nd Sacrato of Phreci, 1334 IC. But in truth, he was never the sort of man to set a girl alight for merely reading a palm or remedying a bout of the clap. The Purity Chronicles, Book 1 Embers of Insurrection We don t know whether the Rebellion itself fatally wounded the Empire or just injured it, but under Voll s leadership it declined rapidly. The Rapture Device (1336 IC) Voll condemned Malachai to burn before the doors of his Solaris, but it seems that Malachai s promises have saved him from the pyre. "An end to thaumaturgy," he claims. A fancy that our Emperor is willing to humor. For weeks now, Malachai has been consigned to the Solaris, forging a mechanism that will purge Wraeclast of its otherworldly vices. Today, the first Fiero of Eterni 1336 IC, Malachai and his Gemling Queen gripped each a corner of a silken mantle and unveiled his Rapture Device. Like a pit of copper snakes it writhes before the eyes. Whether it is a miracle or a monstrosity, none but Malachai can say. Yet tomorrow Voll shall lead the Highgate Legion home, conveying Malachai, Lady Dialla, and this bewildering apparatus north. North, from whence the first Gems came. From whence the nightmare of Chitus thaumatocracy was born. It is in Highgate that our Emperor Voll will finish what he started. He will burn Chitus empire from history and raise up a fresh and pure theocracy from the ashes of arrogance and corruption. God be with you, Voll of Thebrus, and with us all. The Purity Chronicles, Book 6 The Rapture Device The Cataclysm (c. 1339) Voll s reign lasted about five years. Despite the decline of the Empire after the Rebellion, it was finally killed by a separate event called the "cataclysm". This cataclysm could not have been the Rebellion, for several reasons Eramir says the Azmeri s "history" and "identity" was destroyed by the cataclysm, but the Empire was still standing (shaky and infirm but standing, Emperor and all) after the Rebellion, and it seems unlikely the Azmeri could have forgotten their identity while the Empire was still nominally alive. The Karui participated in the Rebellion, and after they took control of the southern coast, they settled there it quite happily. It wasn t until later that the Karui recorded "Black storms descend on us from the north" (that is, from the Inner Empire and Sarn) and later still "The earth of Wraeclast rejects the dead." The Karui settlement must have occurred between the Rebellion and the event that cursed Wraeclast. Very little is known about exactly what happened; as Clarissa points out, no news of the Empire reached Oriath until after the cataclysm was over and its effects drove the Karui out of Wraeclast. So what was this cataclysm that finally put an end to the Empire, and presumably cursed the Gemlings and raised the dead? Hargan says "Voll s was the shortest reign of any Eternal Emperor, about five years. The Twist saw to that." The only other mention of the Twist is when Lady Dialla says "The cockroaches will come again. They want the Twist." Apparently, the Twist is a device or artifact, and it exists (or the Ebony Legion believe it exists) somewhere in Solaris Temple under the protection of Lady Dialla, or perhaps even on her person. It s possible that Lady Dialla picked the Twist out of the wreckage of Sarn years after the cataclysm occurred, and moved it to her sanctuary in Solaris Temple for safe-keeping, but there are reasons to suspect she was directly involved in the cataclysm itself The Gemling Queen is the only Gemling known to have escaped becoming Undying. At one point, Grigor says "Then they ll have the Gemling Queen, a living embodiment of the cataclysm." Lady Dialla herself implies that at one point she had to choose between the Empire s survival and her own "Malachai begged for him, for the Empire. I chose me... selfish me. The Empire died, and I live. I live, and live, and live, and live." This raises further questions Lady Dialla says of Malachai "He gave me gems, divine jewels for his Gemling Queen." and describes her spine as a "Pretty spine, bejeweled and bountiful." Since this is Malachai we re talking about, these are presumably Virtue Gems rather than mere jewellery. Most Gemlings seem to have received only a single Gem, and yet from context Lady Dialla received many, so Malachai must have intended her for some purpose greater than the average Gemling. If this did indeed occur after the Purity Rebellion with the Empire in disarray, perhaps he intended to use her to restore the Empire much as Shavronne intended Brutus to defend it. Oriath Oriath is a small island off the south-east coast of Wraeclast. We don t know when Oriath was first colonised, but it seems to have been well-established and prosperous at the time of the Empire s fall so it must have been at least settled and under construction during the Empire s peak. In the Phrecian Forest in the Inner Empire is the Fellshrine, the ruins of an old Templar cathedral, so the Templars have a long-standing link to Wraeclast, and obviously High Templar Voll had an interest in the Empire. Presumably people from the Empire colonised Oriath and brought their religion along, and were stranded when the Empire crumbled. The capital of Oriath is Theopolis, and contains at least historical archives, duelling arenas, and the headquarters of the Ebony Legion. It also contains the Court of Divine Temperance, presided over by "the High Templar"(currently Dominus), and many of the crimes that Court prosecutes are things like "Theosophical Pride", "Public Heresy" and "resisting Templar authority", so it seems fairly likely that Oriath is some kind of theocracy run by the Templars. Even the name "Theopolis" suggests religious devotion Modern Times (c. 1600 IC) In the modern age, Wraeclast bears no civilisation, just a few disorganised descendants of the Empire and undead. It also bears a number of people from Oriath. Some were shipwrecked, but many were exiled for crimes minor or major. The current High Templar is a man named Dominus, who controls the Ebony Legion as well as the Templars. He recently acquired an interest in the history of the Empire. Dominus works in a laboratory at the top of the tower known as the Sceptre of God, but his assistants General Gravicius and Piety gather information and resources. Gravicius set up a temporary barracks in Sarn, near Lunaris Temple, and seems to be responsible for seeking out the artifact known as the Twist and perhaps the Ribbon Spool. Piety was originally named Vinia, and worked as a thaumaturgist and prostitute in Theopolis. Currently she is more of an archaeologist, roaming Wraeclast investigating the works and techinques of the Empire s most famous thaumaturgists including Shavronne and Maligaro, as well as trying to reproduce their experimental results for herself. Like Malachai, she implants Virtue Gems surgically, although judging by the detritus in the lowest floor of Lunaris Temple, she has not yet reached Malachai s level of skill.
