As Penned by Mandolin Blackwood
Priestess of Tatriel, at the temple of Seiin'ra

There have been many studies as to what exactly occurred between the members of the First Race over one thousand one hundred years ago and as there is no conclusive evidence thus far, there are bits and pieces that I have managed to gather from the little shreds of history I have harvested.

What initially drove me to this investigation of our history is the fact that in ancient scriptures, the Jinn seemed to be a wondrous race of pleasures, who indulged in life and drank from it like fine wine in every opportunity. Today's histories teach them as being devilish creatures that cultivated the moralistic decay of society and it's many ladders, but my studies have shown me to follow a path different from popular belief.

The first place I traversed to was in the depths of the Valley of Fire, where I happened upon the ruins after months of search... the ruins of the great Jinn city. The Tzu'tzu at first seemed to turn me away and not want me to come near the sacred ground but after showing them my prayer necklace baring the symbol of Tatriel, the mother of the Jinn, they allowed me passage.

Walking within the ruins I managed to find some interesting discoveries... pieces of a society that definitely argued the idea of them being morally corrupt and actually being peaceful beings. In the entirety of the ruins... I found not one weapon that was Jinn made. I was familiar with the the markings and smithing of the Harpies, and every spear, sword, arrow... was definitely forged in the northern Realm, which the winged first race hails from.
