the walls. The Canon outlines the worship of Menoth
as well as the basic laws of human society. Though
historians consider Icthier a web of mysteries, they
agree humanity began settling the surrounding area
in great numbers around 6,500 BR. Oddly enough,
this also coincides with the first human records of the
worship of Menoth and the rise of the priest referred
to as Cinot.
Legends state Cinot could turn ash into grain and
salt into nectar. His faith in Menoth was undoubtedly
powerful, yet his greatest gift seems to have originated
from the implementation of agriculture and law. He
taught not just simple farming either, for signs of
irrigation ditches and complex aqueducts are as old
as Icthier’s settlement. Cinot was a true marvel of
the time. He was an engineer, scholar, philosopher,
and healer who exalted humanity from a shuffling
collection of warring tribes into a grand civilization.
The Temple Wall of Cinot still stands in the High
Temple of the Canon in Ancient Icthier, supposedly
available for privileged Menites who wish to study
writings personally translated by Cinot.
During this time, Menite priests formed a distinct
hierarchy. Sage-priests taught the populace, dispensed
wisdom, and tended the sick, elderly, and dying.
Warrior-priests defended the people from the dangers
of predatory barbarian tribes to whom historians refer
as the Ur-Molgur. Warrior-priests also enforced the law
and hunted down beasts and creatures that stalked
the lands of Icthier’s settlements. This division of duty
shaped the distinction of orders that continue today,
especially in the Protectorate of Menoth.
Ancient Icthier served as the cradle of human
civilization, yet around 5,500 BR a warrior-priest
known as Belcor and a sage-priest named Geth led
the Exodus northward. The lands around Icthier had
become too populated, so over the next 700 years the
Exodus led Menites to settle all lands from Icthier to
the low-lying valleys where the Black River empties
into the Gulf of Cygnar.

Throughout the rise of human civilization,
