The main work, the book "Myths of Naul", mentions many magical places and objects. You can read about some of them below.
To explain: after Ükos's death (he was the author of the book Myths), his disciples searched for more knowledge and facts and wrote them down in other books. That is why the name of the author also appears by individual Wonderfulnes. There is also a reference to a specific paragraph in the book where Ükos mentions the matter.
For a better understanding of the terms and names, I also recommend reading the chapters of the book "Myths of Naul".

... the symbol of craftsmen industriousness is an ant? He gives his tools to ordinary people.
43.29
Her first animal is an iron ant, which is called Mezimütor. He brought with him a magic chisel and magic pliers, and he learned a lot from his Ruler - always eagerly listening to her advice.
43.30
Many of his descendants have also multiplied powerfully throughout Naul - but far from all diligent ant-like creatures are related to Niyenult because they come from the Wingo family.
Sister Loröliya wrote:
Always just a one group of craftsmen can use this sacred trio of tools at a time, and only eleven full moons can keep them with them at work.
Then I saw the construction of the temple, near the town of Dyelayo, in Nünul, how a trio of chosen, consecrated craftsmen quickly laid plank to plank, joist to joist, shingle to shingle, to build the Niyenult wooden tabernacle, with a massive granite hearth and a sturdy chimney.
Three artisans, dressed in red robes, of the same cut, clean shaven, and painted with the holy symbols of fire and craft, held in their hands a hammer, a chisel, and a large straight nail, red in color.
By day they worked hard, many helpers around, and enjoyed good respect as well as good food and drink.
At night, they put their instruments on the altar of the Ruler, where they left them to rest until dawn.
The hammer itself is two-handed, heavy, almost one reach at length. Color orange. Its striking face is made of a red gem, but the nose is sharp, like a small hatchet, and is made of a silver blade.
With a hammer, it is then possible to drive nails with one blow, or to machine beams and cut holes with several blows. The hammer then leaves magical runes behind as a blessing to the new building. It should be noted that the hammer does not like to process the stone when it twists and shakes in the hands.
A chisel, on the other hand, is a good helper when carving in stone, and this carving does not need a mallet, only a patient and precise hand to guide it. Then they cut the stone as if it were lime wood.
Finally, the red nails are used to join both wood and stone, as they can pierce both easily and then twist in such a way as to firmly bind the two bodies together. There is always one nail, but if it passes through the flame of the furnace, a new nail peels off from it. However, only dozen can be at a time until eleven of them are used and hammered.
I have also heard and seen with my own eyes that these tools are used only for the construction of temples. After the period of eleven full moons, the Mezimütor himself takes away the instruments and gives them to others, in another place of Naul, according to his discretion.

Ükos does not explicitly mention this wonder in his Myths of Naul.
Brother Teraweysden wrote:
We don't know where Gundar's helmet is today, perhaps it is worn by one of the wise dragons of today. And he would be careless to reveal her power to the world, except in cases of real need. That is because it is a usefull artifact, albeit with a great limitation.
The helmet only fits on the head of large creatures, on large skulls, such as dragon's, giant's or hulk's. And then, if the wearer of the helm wishes so, it multiplies his strenght. He is then ten times stronger than he would be in his normal life. If he concentrates and casts a short spell, his power can even be thirty times higher than usual for a moment.
The helmet is gray, composed of sheets of coarse iron, with thirteen irregular horns. A large dark blue stone is woven into the forehead of the helmet.
This much I found out when I studied the scrolls stored in library of Kalar. In the image, Gundar the Strong, son of Tetrundawa, is clumsily drawn, carrying the entire mountain in his hands. For it is also possible that when Gundar carried the helmet alone, his power might have been even greater than anyone else would have been allowed in later times.

Gandrolä the Dragonmistress was one of the most loyal followers of Vasë Melantran, the Lord of Dragon Fate, and made many sacrifices to him; likewise to other deities. Perhaps she got her holy wand directly from him, but it's also possible that it's from another Vasë.
It is a powerful relic, similar in appearance to a heavy ruby staff, hot to the touch, so a common man cannot hold it in his hand for long. A fine gray ash falls from the stick when blessed.
Its effect is about ten times more powerful than a good, experienced priest could ordain; not one house, but ten houses, not one field, but ten rows of fields.
However, any blessing is only beneficial to House Melëra, no Beastchanger nor human could benefit from it. Of course, any kind of blessing is still better than leaving a cursed place to its fate.
The whereabouts of Gandrolän's drop is unknown. However, I believe that after all these long years it has ended up with some wise Alnarti'melëra, serving good purposes.

Ükos does not explicitly mention this wonder in his Myths of Naul.
Brother Lupiyos wrote:
It is the most noble building block.
This much I can tell what I have read in the old scrolls and heard from the mouths of the wise. But the bricks of Ivarinden itself, the noble building stone of the primordial deities, the blessing of primeval times, I could not see.
And so much is said that perhaps it is a stone small or large, perhaps a reach in length, perhaps even five reaches, or perhaps only as big as a fist. The size seems to belong to the creature that builds the building.
It acquires many colors, sometimes also stripes and spots. It has no scent, no smell, and is always very heavy for its size.
It is created from an ancient mixture of colors, kneaded by the hands of the Ivarinden themselves, long before the creation of the Tildo, the blessed protectors of ours.
Whoever lays such a brick, the Ivarinden building stone, as the first foundation of a building, will get a building with extraordinary properties. Fire will be careful not to destroy indiscriminately, earthquakes of all kinds will not have so much power to destroy, and the cloak of time will wear less on everything that belongs to the structure.
It is certain that the Ivarinden Brick was inserted as the primordial stone in all the ancient foundations of the great cities of men. It is also certain that many of these strange stones were rightfully carried away by Tildo and used in the construction of the great works in Tildoron.
I also got the impression that there are still a good number of such bricks hidden in Naul - and this gives hope to those builders who desire unusual constructions.

115.33 Wömindan himself lends his power of light to faithful servants, blesses them with weapons, shields and also sacred amulets.
Brother Tassiyo wrote:
These items are common, of course in case that they are still magic items. However, many fighters use them and there is no need to travel to faraway places.
The great and illustrious Wömindan is generous, and may his glory never cease. He often blesses with his rays polished weapons, weapons of old metals, made to fight evil, of whatever metal they may be. Wömindan also blesses weapons that are not made of metal, such as the sharp antlers or bludgeons of forest warriors. He also blesses armor, shields and amulets with light.
However, this does not mean that such a weapon, armor or amulet cannot be destroyed - these items are still as destructible as before. However, broken weapons blessed by Wömindan are not thrown away, but sacrificed to him on an altar.
Such blessed objects are easy to spot because they glow faintly in the dark, far less than a candle, with a warm, orange light.
If they are used in a defensive, fair fight, or during a blessed hunt, they themselves guide the warrior's hand, deflect the enemy's weapons or wish for a lucky chance.

... there are incredibly horrific things left from ancient times, beneath Naul?
59.33 It is said that Balüm remained in the depths, the Great Cauldron, in which Darkness boiled with the blood of all creatures, and the Transmutated climbed out of it.
Sister Igimka wrote:
I myself did not see Balüm, nor was I near it. Certainly great Tayabrona the Unbreakable found him and took the cask of its contents, and perhaps others, perhaps Stelgar, perhaps Dëcen Světakrok.
It is the size of a palace, black in color but with many spots, vibrant red and beige. Those spots always take the form of monsters of the deep or cursed signs.
A narrow, puss-covered staircase, crooked and unsupported by any column, leads to the mouth of the Balüm cauldron.
Balüm puffs out gray smoke, with a blue glow, as its hot, boiling, bubbling contents await offerings.
And these offerings are all sorts of creatures from the surface of Naul, whether animals, colorful birds, humans, Beastchanger or even the Lightside followers.
When the cauldron is saturated, from the union of the Yoltaen, the Darkness, the bodies and souls of the sacrifices, and other deep essences are created the Bumgä'mindari, the Balüm-altered, vile creatures of formless bodies, chaotic forms, various destinies. Some are harmless, just annoying, others full of poison and curse, but many are also deadly, fast and powerful. The worst are those who do not want to fight and kill, but those who secretly devour fields and meadows, trees and stables, taking away the strength of mothers and children.
How lucky that Balüm rests forever so deep - and perhaps is served and worshiped no longer, as it once was.

... the god of birds washes himself in a distant eastern lake?
50.6: After fighting and hunting, Mnëndin rests on Lake Hantantinar in the Eastern Wilderness, in places that are far from all the curious ones. The lake is sometimes red with blood when Mnëndin wets a soiled robe in it to make it shiny again.
Sister Wedëssa'wanüssa wrote:
Also Hantantir, or Hantanirar, the lake is dedicated to Mnëndin, but access to it is by no means prohibited. Due to its inaccessibility and remoteness, however, it is a difficult target for pilgrims and prayer seekers.
However, not at all for all kinds of birds, which are countless around, but above all huge swans, white, golden, and silver. And also brightly colored smaller birds whose names are not even known.
It is certain that near the lake the pilgrim will meet the Bird Guardians, creatures with the head of an eagle, but the body of a man, the left hand being the form of a claw. They have seven flutes on their backs, which can play delicious music, but also hideous sounds that have a repulsive effect.
They are not hostile to those who wish to worship the holy lake, bathe in it, and drink in the name of the Ruler of Air, but they will kill anyone who would partake of meat of Hantantinar birds.
In some places on the shore of the lake, where it is clean and there are no reeds or coastal mud, there are tall masts with red flags flying. These are said to be brought as white robes from individual temples on Naul and then dyed with blood, which Mnëndin washes from time to time in the waters of the lake.
Mnëndin himself then rests rather on the shore of the larger part of the lake, in the east, where the Patlö region ends and the wild rocks of the Accugan mountains begin.

Sister Ayembunda wrote:
In the land of Seasan, in the harbor of Lasïla, stands the noble temple of Ilmunayna. Here, on silver cushions, lie six coins forged by Nalmo himself, and are thus an important decoration of this temple.
There are certainly many of them in other parts of Naul as well, for ten thousand seems too great a number for all to be lost in the depths of seas. However, I only saw these six.
They are not similar in size to human coins, as they are more like plates. Each one has delicately worked figures from the aquatic kingdom, fish big and small, corals, crabs and sea snails, all cast in a metal that is bluish and silver.
There are no known useful or helpful properties, only that the coins want to stay within reach of the sea, within reach of the smell of salty waves and the sound of their surf.
If someone takes the coins further from the sea and deeper into the land, they will catch a fester-illness, ending in a painful death. The coins are a reminder of the great power of Naul deities and are not to be traded by Feofees or to be boasting with them.

It is very simple in appearance, the handle is made of dark wood and the shovel has a plain color of metal, always somewhat rusty. So it looks odd rather than amazing.
The shovel does not allow very fast movements, and the edges are blunt, so it cannot be used as a weapon.
But whoever works with it can transport as much earth, gravel and sand as if twenty strong men were working at the same time, sweating with great effort. With a shovel, it is also possible to lift stones that even fifty men would not be able to lift - and easily carry them or store them in place.

It is a powerful item of Yoltaen herself, combining the elements of fate with the power of the Creators. But its use is limited.
If its bearer is an adult creature, freed from the uncertainty of childhood, the table creates the same inscriptions and texts as found on the Fulon tablet, the tablet of destiny.
For a struggling peasant or a hard-working village craftsman, such a reading of his own future makes no general sense. But in the hands of a powerful ruler, general, or hero, reading your own destiny has a big impact.
However, after the first uses of this tablet, Osqaldin himself became aware of the matter and is said to have cursed the tablet with the powerful curse of the Rulers of Naul. Even Kanrëmo himself was cursed and therefore had no descendants. Alone as an undying bone creature, he still wanders the wastes of Blackland. So even he did not succeed in deceiving fate, although it was succeeded several times afterwards, by others who were able to use the power of Kanrëmo's table.
Whether the object is still cursed, or perhaps Lümindon or Horünen Freethinker has already lifted the curse, is not confirmed. Unfortunately, it is not even known exactly where Kanrëmo's table is located.

For this reason, it is better to burn the dead in the fire, and not to bury them, whether with honors or without them, whether with or without faith in the next life.
If several dead bodies, and it seems that even those of animals, are deposited in such a grave, the power of the rising Darkness may place this strange sign over the grave.
It appears as a black and dark green pennant, fluttering in jerky movements that look unnatural and unrelated to the movement of the wind at all. In addition, the banner has no anchorage in the ground, but its bone base ends above the ground, so the whole floats above the surface.
After seven days, the flag will fall to the ground and a terrible monster, the Abomination, will come out of the grave, which I don't want to describe and thus commit insult to the purity of the language. It is a powerful enemy and as a monster of Darkness has no place on Naul.

Melanthran, Lord of Dragon Fate, bore hard the ignominy of those Melëra who came in later times. They were not born with great power, so Melantran helped many of them.
He collected a number of dragon horns that were left over from the fallen and deceased dragons of the first race, although the number was finite and definitely not very high.
He dyed those horns with selected colors and let them soak in magical essences, deep in the caves under the mountains of the individual continents of Naul.
Whoever he deemed worthy of this gift, Melantran himself placed the horn on the right side of a dragon's head at birth. The dragon blessed in this way had more luck than his clansmen - and he was definitely able to control the spells more masterfully, or not be tired of casting them so much.
Unfortunately, the great Vasë Melantran, son of Osqaldin, does not leave any of his blessed horns lying around on Naul, after the eventual death of that dragon, but takes them back to his treasury.
However, Holkron himself is said to have received seven of these extraordinary horns and thereby gained more power to rule over Naul.
I learned this from the sage Yito'zatomin, who had the chance to study the dragon horn briefly before Melantran took it back.

Every eleven years, the saint Kalämon sheds his luxuriant antlers as he wanders through forests, meadows and thickets. However, he never drops his gift in a place that is not worthy of it. However, its arrival is also often predicted when the Woodguard find the relevant signs.
Then, in a ceremonial manner, the antler is planted in a place also designated by the omens, and the treasures of the forest as well as the treasures of the earth are placed in the pit, especially the string with many emeralds.
A mighty tree, unlike any other, will then grow in that place, and it is said to contain some of the mighty power of the ancient Bäbolon. And you can see it even at first glance, because the tree alternates with needles and more types of leaves than is usual for trees. His name is Wilutïdarn, and he will never die unless he is burned by a mighty fire or perhaps hacked down by an army of slashing axes.
The tree is the protector and helper of the surrounding forest. He does not leave the needy hungry and always gives out delicious fruits, mangoes, coconuts, pears and large plums. If he senses danger and hears the pleas of the surrounding trees, he does not hesitate to use powerful spells, including the fog of madness and the curse of the forest's parasites. In addition, once a year, always on the longest night, he releases a magic staff in his crown, which can then be taken over by a chosen Woodguard member and used as a blessed weapon.

If only a peasant is affected, no major damage will be done. But they don't drink from a cup like that. But if a powerful noble or brooding wizard drinks wine, they can turn into obsessed and unstoppable madmen within months of their lives, brilliantly using their intransigence and willingness to take risks on the way to accomplishing a great goal.

The leaves are of color of shiny, newly forged bronze, while the branches are bright silver and gradually lose their luster as they sink into the native trunk, which is dark and metallic blue, like the mail of beetles of a lush spring.
Each year, this tree produces one more sword, its blade glabrous, leaf-shaped, but razor-sharp. This sword is all brass, but relatively light. It also has fine veining on it, as if it were similar to a tree leaf. Thus it ripens in a single full moon night and falls to the ground, among the stones.
The sword's magical power lies in its effect on the minds of Naul Feofees. If the owner wishes and swings the sword strongly while looking at his opponent even from a distance, the heavens themselves will send down a quick lightning of purple color.
It hits the person and their mind is suddenly covered in darkness, and they slowly sink to the ground, on their feet, which terminates the service. It will then remain in this state until the next morning. However, it seems that as long as one person is still unconscious like this, the sword will not send another lightning bolt.
The tree, its surroundings, and all the fallen swords, and there were many already as the years were coming, are now in the domain of Alnarti'melëra, a sand dragon named Kulondi'torön. All his servants are armed with several such swords, and the dragon himself has a hundred swords for sale, if the applicant is wealthy or worthy to use this sword.

And since I also talked to the priests of this cult, they told me that Alïna herself even cuts her braid and then presents it to the most distinguished temple and her most diligent servants.

Lipan made this blade again by himself, when he used his fist to grind the steel from the Outer World, for several years and then, both with his palm and with his thoughts, he polished the blade.
And since those days, a piece of Lipan's soul has been clinging to the fang. And so it is necessary to befriend this piece of soul first, so that the bearer of the hunting knife can use all its properties.
The fang can then detect and deflect any projectile that would want to harm the owner, even when attacked from behind. So much but one at a certain moment.
It is also useful in close combat, because it searches for a foreign weapon on its own, and therefore it is easy to cover blows from foreign weapons with it, even very quick ones.

Now the little sleeping mountains are laid among fine pebbles, shrouded in damp darkness and overgrown with soft, nurturing moss, said to be the offspring of the famous Ewëni, the Noble Grasshood.
The place itself is said to be well guarded by the Stone Highlands, so that no inappropriate guest violates the sacrament of this tabernacle, but only those who are chosen.

To the touch it is similar to stone, also cold and hard. From such skins they make armor, in which selected warriors dress - and there are not many of them.
If no light falls on such armor, which is common in such depths, the hides of the creatures of Gorindë give this armor magical power. The wearer alone may not sleep for three days without being more tired than after a single day. At the same time, it will become very quiet, although not completely inaudible. The third trait is a powerful strike that can deal arms once between midnights, every day. I saw how a warrior clad in such armor used the power of Gorindë's skin and crushed a stone to pieces with his fist, and the stone was as big as a human barrel of beer.

Did you know that...
... a magical item, for multiplying the delight, is left from ancient times?
Ükos does not explicitly mention this wonder in his Myths of Naul.
To Lamindo the Creator belonged pleasure and happiness, love and prosperity.
As one of the gifts to the world, he therefore chose an object that would increase the enjoyment, happiness and joy of the pleasure that a man and a woman experience with each other, or even others, if it is their good choice.
He wove from his fine hair and fur, pink in color, a large blanket that constantly pulsates with its own life, is supple and warm, very pleasant to the touch, smelling of different scents that transform into others.
The size is variable, but not more than five reaches in each direction.
If lovers lie on this blanket, the blanket will cling to them and envelop them, like a light breeze, no more than a silken blanket. The pleasure of such a connection is multiplied and lasts many times longer than it would normally be on Naul.
Even after the act is over, the joyous stirring of the soul continues for three full moons.
The Blanket of Lamindo the Creator is now probably located somewhere in Tildoron, but it is not uncommon for it to be lent to the heroes and heroines of Naul.
Lümindon herself, with her body, in connection with the blanket, can thus bestow on those who would give importance to it. The ultimate agony of pleasure can then be the best experience in life.

18:36 There was also a trio of Wotörmi, created for the care of the mountains in the seas, namely for the care of the islands. They sail together on the stone ship Foykakima, but no one knows whether there are still three to this day, and Ilmunayna doesn't care.
Sister Sskolma wrote:
It is a simple, though remarkable vessel. I had the honor to visit it and behold.
Roughly half reach walls of the ship are made of one unbroken piece of grey-brown stone, and very roughly hewn. They do not carry any ornaments, nor the effort to create a beautiful work. On the contrary, from the outside, the sides of the ship are covered with thick deposits of small shells and clams, mixed with sand, mud and pebbles, so that they form an unsightly mass, a shipwreck.
However, there is no green vegetation on the ship.
The ship is more than twenty reaches long and about five reaches wide, rather of a gnarly shape. There sits a stone obelisk in the centre, only three reaches high and similar to a pointed pentagonal prism. Again, it has no ornaments.
The ship is empty, except for two massive stone chests, also similar to sarcophagi. However, their contents is a mystery, as is the way the ship moves on the surface. It has no oars, no sails. Not even its sailors, the famous Highlanders, steer the ship. Perhaps the sea currents themselves are controlled by the thought of the leading Highlander and drift the ship in the distance.
In exchange for inspecting the ship, I only had to promise the Highlanders that my message would be peaceful and that I would not reveal where I met the vessel and its crew. Fortunately, the Stone Ship still persists and its Highlanders protect the sleeping mountains or islands, as is their task.

Ükos does not explicitly mention this wonder in his Myths of Naul.
Brother Yarodont wrote:
It's like a real candle, but much bigger. About five reaches high, not more than half a reach wide. The color is red.
One of the famous Melëra, Gihin the Firemaker, created it from the essence of the heavens, and fused with otherworldl fire. The candle itself is located in clouds, probably in the realm of Tör'uzahondimani, the Realm of Delusion. There it rests until it is called upon, which Gihin always did when there was a great battle or godless destruction coming up.
Then the candle descended, or rather fell, with a thud to the ground and sank into the soil. The flame on its wick was fierce, hot and dazzling, blue in color.
As far as the light of the flame reaches, which can be up to hundreds of reaches, if the candle is on a flat plain, all fire spells, or fiery spells in their nature, are more powerful. The magical power of Yoltaen itself is willing to help the candle and therefore also the one who summoned the candle.
The candle cannot be extinguished, but a powerful counterspell could return it to the realms, to its resting place.
If any wizard has mastered dragon magic spells, he is probably able to summon Gihin's candle even today.
I, Yarodont, have never seen Gihin's candle with my own eyes.

75.33 Where the Kolmosör is now, and whether anyone is still holding him in battle is unknown.
Brother Yarodont wrote:
Nor have I been able to find any clues leading to this strange weapon made by Ghon the Bellvoice, son of Rufnir, son of Wulkana. However, the images are available and so is the description.
It is supposed to be a rather short sword with a very massive blade, richly decorated, with so many decorative elements that it seems almost unusable in battle.
And sure enough, it wasn't used in combat, as its strength lay in killing at long distances. It's not called the "Spirit Sword" for nothing.
If there is a victim to die within ten miles, the wielder of the sword can make a simple statue, such as clay, or an artfully crafted straw effigy will suffice. At midnight, when the moon is not shining and its power is very small, the insidious warrior can engage in battle with this figure.
He falls into a trance, where in his dream he actually fights against the soul of the Feofee he had chosen as his enemy. But thanks to Ghon's sword, he has a significant advantage, so he wins easily. If the wielder of the sword were to be defeated anyway, nothing would happen to him but a few days of total exhaustion.
However, if it succeeds, the target of the attack dies and its soul is damned so that it is no longer possible for it to return to the world of the living.

Thorn of Likintiyannon

Sister Wolomïpeka wrote:
The only place in the hot Southlands stands out, namely the tip of Tuwendi Noganolin, the peninsula and the cape at the same time, the southernmost place of all the continents of Naul.
From the immense depths of the earth, a powerful promontory pierces there, or perhaps a thorn or a sprout of Likintiyannon itself. This strange float-unfloat, on which the whole world rests, is extremely and supernaturally cold, freezing.
The wizards and sages agree that it was here, that Likintiyannon set out through the powerful strata of Naul itself and created a unique mountain, more than two pastures high.
It is not possible to approach the mountain itself, it is so terribly cold. However, with the help of good equipment and also with the support of spells, it is possible to see it.
It is not easy to get close to it at all - the temperature drops to a distance of a hundred pastures around it, and the closer the pilgrim gets, the brighter is the wind, the brisker steeds of wind are. The amount of snow and ice that the pilgrim must approach across the mountain is also increasing.
And at first glance, it's a beautiful mountain, if you can call it that at all - very narrow and pointed at the top, so it really looks like an ice thorn. It's pretty tilted, so it looks like it's going to break and fall.
It is said that some creatures can easily approach it and possibly bring the essence of chilliness that will serve the alembicist in their craft.
Because of this wonder, the entire southern region of Onombuga is colder than the rest of the otherwise hot climate.

If the region is in need or desires a good advice, or perhaps divination is needed to protect the common people, or the kindness and the humility, it is possible to write a question or a request for advice in a certain matter right on the scroll.
Then Tanëta's messengers will fly for the scroll and take it directly to Tildoron, where Vasë themselves, or perhaps even Tildo, will deal with it. The birds then deliver the written answer back to the inquirer.

... a vastly strong outburst of green water from depths of the world can be found in south lands?
Ükos does not explicitly mention this wonder in his Myths of Naulu.
Brother Mohangë wrote:
It is not difficult to find this remarkable and wild spring, because the black people of Hilulu, who live around the Oqandi River, in western Southland, know well the way to it.
If the pilgrim goes upstream of the Ufufu River, through all the traps and lush vegetation, he will soon notice that the muddy water of the powerful current is greenish. As the road climbs into the Al’Külam Mountains, this color intensifies pasture after pasture until the river, now smaller, is full of green water that cannot be seen anywhere else on Naul.
The river rises from rocks, hundreds of reaches high, thickly covered with moss and large ferns bearing colorful berries.
There is the Green Geyser, called Kitlomnu Uhga by the Hilulu people. It is powerful and stormy and unlike any other spring. Several times a day the earth shakes and rumbles from within. But the real crash comes moments later, a noise so terrible it fills the soul with fear.
A mighty stream of green water pours out of a crack in the rock, as if some underground tube were directed diagonally outward, at a quarterish angle. The water is of an emerald color, translucent, and a very beautiful sight to behold, although the sounds are menacing and the whole theater is majestic and fear-inspiring.
The waters of the geyser then flood and splash the surrounding area before flowing down to form the Ufufu River.
The people of Hilulu believe in the sacred power of that water and drink it regularly, which is said to give them longevity. Hard to confirm, though, because it seemed to me that people were no different than others who didn't drink water.
However, there is one more interesting thing that is worth mentioning - in the landscape around the spring there are strange animals that cannot be found anywhere else. The people of Hilulu call them Pukpuku and they look like three-legged deer, which grow fine and branched antlers not only on the head, but also instead of the tail.
Pukpuku are all green, only their antlers, teeth and eyes are white. Their meat is also green in color. It is delicious and valued - after it is harvested, it is sold to other countries around. But the Hilulu people always return the antlers of Pukpuku to the source and tie them with the upper branches of local trees. It is said to be a sacrifice to the local Alnë.

The shadow of Utilöna the toad can appear at any time and to anyone, but it doesn't happen that often. But the good news is that even a peasant or a poor man is not an inferior Feofee in eyes of Utilöna and is worth paying attention to.
If someone decides, mostly unwittingly, to reshape their destiny and reshape their Fulon table, it is of course possible that they will choose an even worse path, even downright disastrous, for themselves and their loved ones.
Then a dark, saturated shadow may fall upon him, cast by no thing or being visible to the eye.

I saw the heart of Gudämor the Statue with my own eyes, and there was not one, but a dozen. They were piled up in a pile like a grim omen, black smoke flowing freely from them and creeping above the ground before soon disappearing without a trace. However, I didn't dare to touch, let alone hold, a single one of those accursed things.
The heart itself is black in color, without reflections, shaped like four interconnected underground tubers of herbs. It is smaller than three fists in size. Black smoke constantly pours from it, descending to the ground. However, this smoke does not last long and disappears within moments.
The moment the mighty Gudämor falls, and it always does, it disintegrates into coarse ash and gravel, but it also leaves behind a heart that was originally perhaps located in the middle of the body, i.e. a little lower than it is in humans.
The heart itself does not have much power or utility for summoners of dark forces, but it is possible to connect them together, that is, to pile them on top of each other, in a regular mound; and the more, the more powerful the spell becomes.
A cruel and godless warlock could then create an invincible dark cloud with a spell that would obey him, and that could injure and kill with its black blasts.
If at least three dozen hearts of fallen statues are piled up like this, the warlock can summon a far more powerful dark statue than the one from which the heart comes. Whether a larger number of hearts is able to strengthen the spell more, and what should eventually happen, is unknown to me.
Fortunately, the hearts I saw ended up differently, and gods bless it, as they blazed in a bright flash of white light.

This is probably what the arrival of the terrible Whirlpool the Devourer, called in Domödi Utugnam’rüfo, looks like.
Does it come of its own free will or the will of the Rulers? I couldn't figure that out. However, Huna from the Praelementars, Angla'winti Lös Nesmírmodrá, remembers the Devourer from ancient times, when it used to be even bigger, like a mighty mountain of a swirling sea. Maybe it's a separate creature from the beginning of time, maybe an old Archelementar, obsessed with destruction.
In a book, I found a reference to the destroyed port, which may have originally belonged to Fäliyë, in the days of their glory. It was swallowed up by the whirlwind of Utugnam’rüfo, and he gnawed away a large piece of land, so that even those who fled the port were swallowed up by the water and drawn into the depths by furious currents. The book only mentions that the black and gray streams of water weaved over the mainland like monster snakes, as if they could crawl on the ground themselves, and so the vortex eventually looked like a thousand-armed octopus, reaching perhaps dozens of pastures with its limbs.
No one has seen a vortex for some time, which means nothing at all. Perhaps he was gaining strength to strike somewhere again, perhaps the great Hidrandë sent him to sleep forever. Let us pray to our good Rulers that such destruction will spare us!

The only such tear I saw in the royal collection of magical wonders in the palace of king of Zoltar.
It looks like a golden stone, but translucent, similar to amber, but rather with a metallic luster. It's a little bigger than a man's fist.
If its owner does not desire power and wealth, he will keep a tear. It then serves as a far-famed symbol - and with its rarity it attracts the attention of deities. It would also be a royal gift.
However, it is also possible to crush it into powder and use it as an ingredient in some precious potions and spells, as Taliyo mentioned above.
Such a powder from tear of Fö gives the spells strange abilities, as it inspires Yoltaen itself. It is also true that if one uses a potion or spell mixed with tears of Fö only modestly and not too often, the spell will never disappear, because the power of Slöynan will always complement him.

Fresh, lush, light green grass grows across the width of the valley, certainly more than ten patures wide and certainly at least fifty pastures long, in the shape of an elongated pear.
In the middle, then, at the deepest point, certainly two miles below the former surface, there is a dark fissure, barely a hundred reaches wide, but stretching like a scar four miles away.
The pit is very deep and it is not possible to see the bottom. It is said that it does not end in the caverns of this world and does not end in the halls of the Ruler of Stone, but perhaps only in the cursed halls of the ancient Fïrdi, may the good powers protect us from that name. In my opinion, however, this does not seem likely, because if this were an unfortunate flue from the lowest halls, the rest of the Önani'wani valley would be affected by malice, corruption and abominable creatures.
However, it is also said that Alnë of this former lake, which had healing powers and bore a kind of "aquatic sweet fruit," swore to his death that he would avenge a careless god, or perhaps a deity, or a force that let the lake flow into the depths.

As one looked down on the surface of a well on earth, one could look at a well of color, only inverted, as if it originated in the Outer World. Many colors flicker in it, which are often not be ever seen on earth, on the surface of Naul.
This place is called the Cup of Colors, also Äponi’ilin. It is ancient, older than Ivarinden, and Tildo tell stories that Aldo and Ulu drank from that cup and rejoiced in the pleasures they had experienced.
However, Hidrandë forbade drinking from Äponi’ilin, because abusing ancient, unpredictable essences is very unwise. Only Osqaldin could reveal the fate of those who drink, but Hidrandë do not waste the depths and importance of the Lord of Fate's predictions, unless it is crucial.
If Fö flies closest to Äponi’ilin, thus once a day, a single drop of the essence, the matter or color, from which something was created in the world, drips from the cup. The drop can be enclosed in a bottle composed of pieces of quartz, where it remains for a while or for a long time. The liquid itself then disappears from the bottle, as it would have done if the Lepostiriyon of Tildoron had not caught it. It is not known where exactly it disappears and where it travels on mysterious paths, but it is believed that it will then connect with important and destiny-given persons, objects, trees, stones, etc., which are of the same essences of creation.
It is also said that Sïrdi himself drank from this well several times, and from that connection came seven unknown magic spells and seven strange, cursed creatures.

... the Swilan's legendary sword was not created as a weapon, but as a cereal ear?
66.21 It didn't take long for the hero Swilan with his sword Amu'tran to follow in his trail. Their competition was legendary.
Brother Muhameb wrote:
There are more stories told about Swilan's sword than just the one written in the legend of Swilan himself. From what I've heard and read, I could come to this conclusion.
The foundation, and soul of the sword, dates back to the days of the young world, already during Yastawäyintë, when Ivarinden were young and eager. It is said to have grown as a unique golden ear in the middle of the plains of the Yednozem, after which one of the Ivarinden tore it off, but was unable to turn it into anything else. However, he predestined him not for peace, but for fighting.
For a time this golden ear hung as an object of honor in the Palace of Ivarinden, and then was dedicated to Swilan.
He should also have reminded him of his mortality and the combination of actions with far-reaching consequences.
However, as we know from the legendary song, with each match and fight, the ear became more and more like a sword, until during the duel with the multiheaded dragon Korakera, the sword reached such sharpness in blade that it was able to cut two heads with one blow. At that time, Swilan already called it Amu'tran.
After Swilan's death in a battle with Golak the Olddragon, the sword was lost for a long time - but we know that it was drawn again by Manatär in the great battle of the turn of the ages, when the power of Sïrdi disappeared.
Hämar then exhibited Amu'tran in the halls of Tildoron, but at Osqaldin's request, the sword returned to the ground, where it was used by great warriors. The kings of Nünul were proud of him until he was stolen, probably one of the adventurer's company.
According to vague hints, he is now in Yinozem, perhaps in the hands of a great hero, perhaps hidden in some forgotten treasure, or perhaps decorating a temple as a powerful gift to the deities.
And surely Amu’tran was also a powerful magical weapon. He is said to have been able to cut over another weapon made of steel, and even more, at once, as its shadow fused with the same power as the blade itself. The light of Amu'tran made it possible to see in the dark, and the glow of that light was blessed — and it burned evil monsters in the eyes.
As Fö flew over Naul, it was possible to emit a powerful flash from the tip of the sword, as if the sun itself had shot out with its power and hit the enemy a hundred paces with this "lightning". He then fell as if cut, knocked down by the power of the blessed light.
I only got know that much about Amu'tran, Swilan's legacy.

The Cage for Lepostiriyon at first appears as a clay ball, the size of a human head, with many magical symbols, deeply engraved. The biggest rune then belongs to Uwa himself, the creator of the artifact. The ball is also very heavy, but one is said to be able to carry it on one's back.
Anyone who knows Uwa's name and expresses a wish to expose the jail turns the ball into a solid cage composed of thin strips of strange metal, more like pearl shells. It is as big as a village cottage. The cage can only be closed and opened at the command of the person who cast the spell.
Although the cage is shiny and conspicuous, any of the genus Lepostiriyon cannot notice it, such is its strength. And that is why a single Lepostiriyon may find himself, often by deceit, in the midst of those bars from which he cannot escape - for this is the second powerful feature of the mother-of-pearl wall, namely rigidity and resistance to all the art of magic and powers of the Praelementars.
However, it is not known where the artifact is now located, and whether it is still in the Oddland or perhaps guarded as a treasure by one of the kings of men or rulers of Turüh. The last trace of the search ends here, under the Gomossga mountains.

However, its power is known. The scrolls describe what the spear looks like and what kind of spells it rules.
It is three steps long, with a fine point at one end and a wide, leafy point at the other. But the spear itself is similar to a live fire, rather a ray or a golden flame, as shown in some paintings.
It returns itself to the owner's hand if it is thrown. His blow is deadly and the enemy is saved only by a masterful dodge, but the armor is of little value to him. However, the texts mention the possibility of using spider silk, which is said to protect against impact.
During a storm, it is possible to let the spear be saturated with the blows of the divine whip, known as lightning. Then it shines stronger and in combat gives its owner speed and agility.

53.23: A terrible was the black worm with a mighty red crown on its head, and its power was astounding. His weakness was the light of Slöynan, and so soon after, he crept into the large underground spaces of Naul. His name is Agrütor.
Brother Wiyul wrote:
I could only study paintings, scenes from battles, or descriptions of the powerful qualities that the crown carries. It seems that there are not many crowns, but certainly not a great rarity, as it might seem. According to the number of records, there will probably be more than a dozen - not to mention the ones that are still carried by the cursed worms on their heads.
However, the crown can be carried by someone else if his soul is disgusting enough and longing for evil.
Strange "rays of darkness" then spread from the crown, absorbing any light that does not come from Slöynan - and even such light is then weakened. However, the wearer of the crown sees in such darkness as well as if there were no darkness.
At the same time, the crown releases dark red and purple vapors, clinging to the ground, which act as a strong poison and even stick to the poor ones chosen by the crown bearer.
It is also described how Sïrdi's Agrütor caused lightning, or perhaps a magic spear, pointing from the crown to several sides, and the lightning was purple. Who was hit, his eyes went blind.
The crowns are known as Roportëya’olmiri.

36.9: And at the head of the Ruler shines a large stone set in a fine truesilver crown. The stone is called Kowaldon, the color blue, and it contains great power over the world of rocks.
Sister Ayembunda wrote:
It is hard for anyone to expect enough luck to hold a treasure like Kowaldon, the rule-crown of Alwamayna Nimfëliyë. However, they were such ones.
One of the books of the dwarves of the Middle Mountains mentions the sacred service of Alwamayn's butler, who, as the only one, privileged, could take care of Alwamayn's dress, her shoes, gloves, various small ornaments or the crown of Kowaldon.
At first such a butler was only one of the ancient Lepostiriyon, but after the creation of Turüh, Alwamayna fell in love with the new breed and handed over the service of a butler to one of the dwarves.
But what is the great power over the world of rocks that Ükos mentions? It is known that Alwamayna, thanks to Kowaldon, can have a Feofee petrified if she wants and will do so at a glance.
Furthermore, deep sapphires are known, which were born as Alwamayna's eyes. And indeed, few deep and mountain beings have voluntarily replaced their eyes with such a blessed sapphires, so that Alwamayna, through Kowaldon, can see what the creature sees.
Another known power of Kowaldon is to seal the gate or door with its imprint so that no spell can enter the guarded place, let alone any Feofee, including various forces and even Powers.
Certainly, Kowaldon must hide the myriad of small and powerful spells that Alwamayna can use without having to exhaust her power to talk to Yoltaen.

Brother Hekaku wrote:
Few records have been found of these ships, and no one knows how many there were. The following is mentioned in the Oyöli books:
… the (Arkasüli's) ship was green, in all shades, similar to a wicker basket but elongated in shape. The twigs and trunks between them were obviously alive, sprouting buds and lush leaves. Although the hull was similar to a wicker basket in terms of the holes between the branches, the water did not flow in.
The vessel certainly had more than twenty reaches in length, and seven in width. I did not see oars, sails or servants. The ship was certainly propelled by the power of spells.
Arkasüli himself was sitting on an elevated spot, on a pedestal that looked like a stump from the forest, but more ornate.
No one was allowed on the ship. But inside were a number of chests, perhaps thirty, black and bright white.
As Arkasüli sailed away, the ship set off very quickly until the water around it splashed. She almost flew, like a seagull flying in a calm flight.”
And in another book there is this mention:
"… And he could travel great distances with them, sail without wind, without oars, with friends, even alone, with an abundance of food and drink. Five species were seen, made of brown wood, then iron, completely rusted, also black, as if made of silk, another as if made of wicker, and the last was made up of brightly colored bird feathers. The last mentioned did not touch the water at all. But we are sure that all those Arkasüli's ships must have been very magical and rare."

15.26 Falälos, the Golden Spearmen, in nine lines deep, threatened with their spears and protected themselves with broad shields, stout men without faces, but overgrown with golden beards. They had shining armor, and it burned the dark in their eyes. Behold, there were eighteen thousand of them, and blessed with the power of justice; they burned with righteousness.
Sister Falöto wrote:
The color is golden, but rather yellow, with many white stripes and ornaments in which I did not recognize any writing, but I can not be sure. The tip of the spear is also gold, with ornaments, but it is not a flat point, with a blade on two sides, but the blades are four, longitudinally with a point.
The spear seems very heavy, when held in hands, and I can't imagine that a simple soldier could hold it effectively, but in the hands of a real hero it can be different.
The spear is very long, about five reaches. I think it's somehow awkward for normal fighting, but used in a lot of men makes sense.
It excels in the fight against the monsters of Darkness, of course, but I did not learn of other interesting things that would make him suitable for other uses. However, we must not forget that it is also an important symbol for those who keep it - it is a gift from the Light Party that would not allow the unworthy to own this spear.
After each battle of the Powers, as many remaining spears appear as did the divisions of the Golden Spearmen of Falälos.

57.26: And whoever takes even one piece from the sacred flock, the Meadow Shepherds, Hafäwolniyen, catch up and tear the thieves into thousands of droplets that sprinkle the leaves of herbs on the plains.
The hero Dëcen, who does not belong to the Ükosmen, wrote:
Here I saw an endless meadow that filled my eyes and my head spun before I finally stood firm and sure. Only the divinely beautiful green color in a thousand shades flowed gently and slowly, and all the leaves of the grass were spotless and beating with life. And among them were the immense numbers of brightly colored flowers of so many colors that even the jewels of all the chests of the Alwamayna empire could not shimmer more in the light of Slöynan. The light but very invigorating scent filled me with an adorable feeling of happiness.
I saw no end anywhere, unless I turned back to where I had come from - and there began the vast divine orchards beneath Mount Helmanlügon.
I also saw in the distance a glittering herd of the legendary divine cattle of the great Horunen. But as soon as I took a step towards them, a small elf, also resembling a crystal man, adorned with jewels, immediately emerged from a clump of grass. I realized that the herd must not be disturbed, and I held back my steps. However, nothing prevented me from enjoying the view of the magnificent meadow for many moments.

It is a strange tool at first glance, unsuitable for combat. The club is heavy, the handle is made of twisted knot. The head of the instrument has three intertwined parts, a bone center, a short blade made of glass stone and a massive haft made of green wood.
It requires great strength from the wearer, so it is not suitable for non-muscular craftsmen, but again gives them a great advantage.
It is used for stone processing. If the stick holder has a clear idea in his mind of what the stone block should look like after being cut off, it is possible to cut the rock with one blow so that the resulting stone block is ready to be stored and does not have to be further processed.
With a few strokes, the owner of the club is able to create a finished, small and large, masterfully modified block of stone, ready for transport and storage, for some important construction.
As far as is known, Rafmansar's maul is still in the hands of Turüh, perhaps somewhere in the depths of Naul. *

The holy dolphin Lotämon himself creates these emeralds from his tears, always as a gift for someone who will perform a useful and sacrificial service for the world of the seas and their inhabitants.
The gemstone owner can then apply for protection of the seas, if necessary.
If it is a creature breathing fresh air, even in the deepest darkness of the ocean, it gets the air around its head so that it can breathe.
Furthermore, the emerald will not allow its wearer to drown even after a long time at sea, but if this time is too long, the wearer will turn into a fish, in the form of which it will remain for the rest of its life if it is not liberated.

I saw one of these by the noble master of Horünen's teachings, in the steppes of Tuylayfan. Whoever wears it, above all, enjoys great respect among his friends, for to carry the divine gift signifies certain, unquestionable values of soul and mind.
But not only that. The wearer of the twine is endowed with good health - diseases fear him and the wearer avoid it. It also allows its owner to run fast, as if a brisk wind was blowing in the back and hovering the runner.

By offspring is meant the great family of magical statues, which Lord Temindar first kneads and sculpts, then gives them breath and mind, and the task to spread his glory.
Menstrüni is the name of their house.
The statues themselves must first carve the first chamber in clay or stone, pleasing their master, and their efforts are slow because time is not important.
I myself visited the caves of Abülaha and Zlatromi, in the Central Mountains and also the Kokrostron in Asasirkh, where no heroism or great sacrifices were needed. Temindar is merciful and I sacrificed for him to let me in and let me look at toil of his charges. He likes gems and stained glass, as gifts, which he then uses as ornaments for his offspring.
The largest of these is the Zlatromi, and is full of wide pillars, with countless stairs and ledges where it is possible to walk. But Abülaha is the most beautiful, although smaller in size, but shining with many golden and white torches and candles.
Sculptures of various sizes and also of various shapes, made of strange materials, work there tirelessly, at a slow and careful pace. Here they adorn the wall decorations, here they pile square bricks into walls of various shapes, while others take the rubble out.
Nor can I mention here the diversity of all the creatures I have met there, from only half-reach statues to monsters ten reaches high, their step shakes the ground.

Stones and boulders of rivers and rocks, trunks and stumps of living and fallen trees, as well as springs, wells, caves or mounds, could hide souls still unborn, souls resting, or perhaps strange spirits, which should not be disturbed.
However, the craftsman's hands needs these raw materials to create great works - that is why Lükasëli asked the deities for advice.
Niyenult herself then created seven magical candles and distributed them to the great masters of those crafts. The candle looks ordinary, gray in color, but it is not possible to light it. If a Feofee places her next to a body where he wants to know if he will disturb forces unknown to him, the candle will be lit with a small flame.
It is not proof that perhaps the soul is hidden in a nearby body, but the will of the deities advises not to start work and try another body. *

The blue burner is a magical object, by no means rare, although now it adorns only those places worthy of the sacredness of such a thing. It appears blue burners to be growing on the walls of deep caves since Alwamayna and the other Tildos came to Naul. The torch is formed as a sharp point, similar to a triangular nail, before about a year later the head enlarges to the shape of about five inches of large stone, of ordinary appearance, with edges. It is all interlaced with blue veins. The stone then begins to glow, with a light blue afterglow, no stronger than a simple candle. It is easy to see within two reaches of him. The blue torch will never stop shining unless it is exposed to sunlight. It is possible to break it off the rock and take it somewhere else, and it is best to do so at night. Turüh assume that these are their own gifts from the Ruler of the Mountains, which rightfully belong to them. But it happens that they also give them to someone else.

It looks like a real straw hat, conical, with a truncated tip. The color is creamy. The brown tape, light as a breeze, wraps around it and it is possible to secure the hat with it under one's chin.
If the hat is lost or stolen, it will return to its last owner on gusts of wind. It must be given as a present in order to serve well.
At any time it is possible to change the hat to a small shelter, from which it is relatively easy to see outside, through sparsely knitted straw walls, but no one can look inside. What's more, the shelter looks indistinguishable from the bushes - and it's always the kind of bushes that could be found in the area. So those who do not have a certain suspicion will have a hard time finding someone in such a bush.

It is obvious that Täyirndë herself often puts down her crown with a veil. It is not known whether he leaves it nearby, carries it with her or hides the crown, and it is not even up to us to find out. Certainly, however, one would suffer the terrible punishment who would only touch the magical Flümnad, without the permission of the Ruler of the Forests.
The crown is silver and green in color, very fine, embroiled with silvery cobwebs and the finest shoots of fresh colors. It wraps one's whole head.
The entire hair of the goddess is then decorated with a fine veil, a veil reaching to the ground. The veil is made up of thousands of intertwining small chains, or tiny braids, that seem alive and their movement never stops.
Many times it was observed, and later written, how the Ruler with her crown cleaned up and covered the tracks even after a great campaign, if it had been beyond the power of her followers.
Thus, traces of the march of thousands of trees were swept away, which then easily surrounded the orc's fortress.
Also, some travellers, under the protection of the forest, were lost without a trace in the deep forests, deliberately so that powerful enemies could not track them down.
As well the fact is, it was cleaned up after the crossing of the Nodrog army, ravaging the northern regions.
It has also been recorded several times that Täyirndë lent Flümnad to a creature that needed to fly but could never fly, mainly because it was too heavy. The example of the flying mountain Huromtusïr is a good proof of the power of the veil crown worn by Täyirndë.*

In the times of Yastawäyintë, as is well known, many of Lepostiriyon were created, often as powerful as Ivarinden themselves. Twelve elements of Naul have since been followed and belonged to them.
However, they did not rise from nothing. Some of the Archelementars arose from mountains, caves, deep-sea pits, flying celestial stones, or even from the seed of Tildoron, back then still undeveloped.
In those places, in cradles of birth, wonderful minerals were created, endowed with power, feature, magic, or just a special effect that seems more like a merry ornament.

Öron's belt
68.12 Öron was the only dragon who was more powerful than Holkron, and he would easily defeat his father by force, yet he never looked his father in eyes without respect.
Where Öron's belt actually lies, and whether it has sunk into the endless mire of the oceans, is unknown. However, there is a short description in the Oyöli documents, which can be viewed in the Kaldak Library.
It is a wide band, certainly more than ten reaches wide, made, according to the appearance, of sheets of bronze, joined by iron rings. It would certainly have to be more than three hundred fathoms long, and perhaps more, to be able to embrace the great dragon body of mighty Öron.
The sheer weight of this girdle must be immense and is proof that Öron himself was extremely strong.
The description of the abilities of this girdle is not entirely clear, but Öron, son of Holkron, is said to have been able to use the girdle's magic and his own unnatural strength to uproot an entire mountain from the rocks, lift it over his shoulders and hurl it dozens of pastures away. The scroll also mentions that in the same way Öron was able to pierce the body of the mountain with one mighty blow and with that blow crush the heart of the mountain, thus killing it.

After sleepless weeks under the surface of the still sea, accompanied by a retinue of brave adventurers, and led by fish people, we found Dankol'kasïr. I can't describe in detail everything that happened before or after, because the narrative itself would be a huge chapter in the book.
However, the magnificence of Dankol'kasir was not visible until after his emergence, when a brown stone body, densely covered with sea plants, rested on the seventh, unbelievable limbs, so that it looked as if it were hairy. It towered more than the pasture, at least that's how my party and I estimated. The mountain walked slowly, every step took a long while, but the sinking of the foot into the ground always rumbled violently.
The feeling of our smallness and immense trifles compared to the monstrous size of Dankol'kasïr has never left me since time immemorial.
Dankol'kasïr's voice was deep, uncomfortable, reminiscent of boulders rolling down a hillside and the jets of powerful geysers. Lucky that Olofïr of Operan, a wizard who could talk to the mountains, was with us.
And I heard various rumors. Lamentations over the old days, full of tears and memories of the glory and colors of the world, clean air and beautiful, noble, very calm music of waves and caves.
In an interview conducted by a patient wizard for several days, Dankol'kasïr explained that at the time of the powerful sleep of the mountains, it was just below sea level, where he was looking for treasures hidden in bottomless pits. Perhaps that is why the magic of sleeping did not fall on him at all.
He walked for many years under the Hala'ssmörg and Wanta'ssmörg mountains and called his friends, but they were asleep or dead. He then sank into the ocean for ages, cooling and soothing him, and only once every few years did he emerge to walk across the mainland.
But now he feels tired, weak and, above all, full of hopelessness. He despises all deities and wishes for the end of the world.
After seven days, Dankol'kasïr plunged back into the ocean and we never saw him again.
Oh, what an adventure it was to see the last living mountain and talk to her! My life is blessed. *

Myths of Naul - Chapter 31 - Hidrandë Wingäriyë, messengers and his government
31.22 With Hidrandë came to Naul The Five Animal Scribes, called Telenko'elëni.
31.23 They enjoy the protection of Hidrandë, and once every seven years they always moved to another temple of the great Ruler to spread glory, where they begin writing another book on wisdom.
31.24 It is the Golden Snake Sokölmë, the Diamond Mouse Lantilinka, the Silver Tiger Güron, the Blue Crane Panüssa and the White Cow Umlaka.
Ükos does not explicitly mention this wonder in his Myths of Naul.
Brother Elzoyam wrote:
Güron, the sacred Silver Tiger of Hidrandë, learned a lot of wisdom in the youth of his life, and yes, he did so with crafts, art, and the art of warfare, although he never took part in real war. After a thousand years, he had only just begun to circumnavigate the world, and according to his nature and color, he passed on his blessings to those who deserved it or needed it.
I saw with my own eyes a silver, faintly glowing font, engraved on the rock by Güron himself. The letters are sweeping strokes and about the height of an adult man's arm. About fifty of those sentences, or perhaps prayers, were carved on the ocher wall of the mountain - and the view was delicious to the eye.
My guide, Master Undi'ssargiyass, assured me that he himself had seen at least a dozen more of them on his travels. This would mean that many prayers and blessed spells are still in hiding and are ready for the recipient by the great scribe Güron.
It is sufficient for some to just decipher the words and keep them in mind, others deserve more. He who is spiritually prepared for Güron's gift puts his hand on the inscription and it passes to his body. It then appears on various parts of the body as a silver font, written in smaller letters.
The reward is an understanding of the incomprehensible answer, and for the bearer of Güron's signs it is an indomitable will, which at the same time strengthens the body so that it does not bother the soul with its afflictions. *

Sister Indila wrote:
From the description, it is clear that the gate is called Kumtak's, but in fact it should be called Imoro'äwi Rey's, because it was she who built it, or perhaps excavated or opened it.
Since I've never even heard of anyone approaching this bridge or gate, let alone seeing and describing it, we have to be careful in our estimates. Such a mystical place can indeed take the form of a gate, a hole in a dark space, or perhaps a strange bridge - but it can also be a bridge or a gate that is somewhat spiritual, indescribable in terms visible.
Perhaps Imoro'äwi Swishmeasure could tell more, but this Huna was not seen for centuries. It would require a powerful wizard or powerful worshiper to track her down and learn more from her. *

Sister Nitulïya wrote:
Everything is known about Entomalin's acorns - but only for followers of his art. At the beginning of his reign, he donated magical acorns, carefully chosen from the land of Tildoron, three of them to each deep forest.
They are three times as big as an common oak acorn, the color is dark green, with silver veining.
Their power is great, but the symbolism is even greater. Whoever carries the acorn with him, the magic of the forest stands by him and it is easier for him to concentrate on them, as I at least heard and saw with my own eyes. Even simple, tiny forest spells are as easy as snapping your thumbs, thanks to these magical objects.
However, the owner of Entomalin's acorn is always the respected leader of all members of the Tree Guards of the forest. Only three of them are always the highest tree-sages, chiefs or advisers to the trees.
If one of them falls or leaves the connection with the forest forever, he hands over his Entomalin's acorn to another who is worthy of it. That is why this rank badge is visibly worn - and a good Tree Guard does not hide it.
Woe to the thieve who would dare to steal it - he will hardly know more suffering than being consumed alive by parasites sent to him by the forest for the abominable act. *

Sëliwalna, the Lady of the Forest Beast, the careful protector of all forest animals, produced and placed these salty stones, the licks of Sëliwalnina, in a sacred place.
I also saw them in these three forests and had the opportunity to explore them, in places inaccessible to humans.
It is hidden among the rocks, in a humid, cool place where moss and ferns grow. No flowers, no medicinal or other useful herbs grow here.
Liz himself is a gray stone, with strong, silver veining, about the size of a horse's head. It is set at the height of a person's waist, on a root-like pedestal, with evergreen leaves.
I also tasted the lick myself. It is salty, bitter, but refreshing. It is not only food to strengthen the body of animals, but also a healing stone, as I learned from the forest rangers. If the animal is in need and cannot come to the lick on its own, the Feofee is also allowed to remove a piece from the lick and bring it to the animal.
There is only one in each of the forests, always after the protection of Sëliwalna itself. The stone never dwindles, but it is said that it is possible to destroy it - which would certainly invoke the wrath of the goddess. *

Brother Ciril of Zoltar wrote:
Behold, at the end of the journey, I finally found the mound I longed to see, to touch with my hands, and to understand its message.
The Blue Justice companions helped me find the place, and they deserve my infinite gratitude.
On the high hill of the region, between the mighty Hetulga, Atö and the lofty Angar mountains, above the Miriyan'diyan river, is a small, ancient grove. Its trees are twisted, wonderfully shaped and seemed to be burdened with great burdens, although the region is kind and fertile. But those who approach those trees whisper kind words to him.
In the middle is a small pyramid, stepped, and I counted seven steps in its form. No more than fifteen reaches. It is overgrown with gray lichen, but not everywhere - many places are wonderfully legible and are decorated with countless runes. These were carved by the great Hidrandë himself - and great power is with them, which can be felt at a glance.
I am not a wizard, only a humble sage, but even so I have felt great power in performing all spells - such is the power of Dontül'salmë. And also my inner wish came true, although I cannot cast spells; that is, to stay in complete concentration without sleep for seven days and seven nights, so that I can properly examine and describe everything.
According to the story, the very presence of Dontül'salmë fills wizards with great power. When they touch the magic inscriptions and study them, their power continues to grow to great deeds.
The place is also guarded - a varied mixture of various elemental creatures, sprites and spirits, also the Beasts and Sëli are there, even a few Hulnoy live here. They thus form a tribe, or order, promised to protect that holy place. They are not hostile, but they are always ready to strike hard against anyone who would desecrate a place, or perhaps use the knowledge of the mound for impure purposes.
The Blue Justice party helped me persuade them to allow me to explore the place, and thank you for that. *

Brother Uyuykay wrote:
I was afraid to look at the benevolent region, because I was warned not to do so. However, dormant in me is the same weakness and curiosity given to other people as well, and finally, as the fresh wind carried away the mists and smoke, I looked down from the hill to that place. Purple and black-red vapours roll over the moldy mud, and the stumps of strangeness, which I couldn't even call the trees, move slowly. I also saw shadows, perhaps ghosts, perhaps lost souls. Although the view itself is not as terrifying as I would expect, it still returns to me, fortunately only sometimes, in the form of dreams that will not give me a good night's sleep.
But the cursed witches, evil sprites, and other monsters in the surrounding regions use this Gagmö to find magical herbs, various mucus, coatings, and essences from which potions and drenches can be made. But they certainly do so under the protection of evil forces, because I have not heard that there would be honorable creatures in the swamp.
Gagmö itself is shrouded in dark, gray steam most of the time and forms an oval in the landscape, about three pastures in diameter. *

Their tip is as sharp as a needle and strangely easy to pierce even metal, although at first glance the spears are only made of dark brown wood, shiny and slightly longitudinally ribbed.
Also, one of the captains of the guard told me that the wound inflicted by this weapon in the first moments hurt so badly that it paralyze the affected area for a while - and that moment is too long in combat for the opponent to be able to defend himself with his art.
The frightening reputation of these weapons precedes their owners - as was the case with the legend of Bïlan himself. *

Every day, the famous Umlaka makes one milk drink, refreshing in taste, but similar in appearance to plain milk. However, their blessed teats can only be touched by Yakolmän, the son of Yakalnünë, the daughter of Klompinë, the Lady of the Meadows. And this Alnë then collects Umlaka's milk in clean bamboo tubes, where it lasts for many months, but not forever.
Umlaka itself does not care who drinks the milk, because that is Yakolmän's mission. He decides who is worthy or who has sacrificed enough.
If he allows one to drink this fluid, the Feofees' soul is intoxicated and calms his predation and recklessness, if it was such before. He will now act with forethought and calmness - but never very quickly again.
It is possible that Yakolmän will also give his consent to the second drink. Then the natural life of the Feofee is extended by ten years. However, the recipient himself must judge whether this time will benefit from surrender to wisdom, teaching, and austerities.
However, sometimes it happens that Alnë also agrees to a third drink. I myself have been so gifted, and I consider it a great honor and a holy blessing from Tildo themselves.
At that time, my life was extended by a full thirty years, my soul gladly accepted the urge to hide from the ordinary life of a Feofee, and I dedicated my work to studying books and creating them. Such an urge will then possess anyone who drinks the milk of the Umlaka for the third time. However, one will create a great work, and I also already know that the books I write will be a good work, just as the teachings of my students will be activity pleasant to gods. *

121.54 His tabernacles are more like black smithies, only the atmosphere in them is saturated with malice and poison. An ordinary blacksmith could not live and work in them, but only a black priest.
121.55 The sacrifice to Taro'tär is only the blood shed with the weapon created in his name.
Brother Kokozatak wrote:
I have seen five such blades, blackened, somehow rusty, but with a gleaming blade, smelly and disgusting, but terrifying. Indeed, aware of the consequences, I held them in my hand, although I then asked for Awantolannë's blessing to forgive my curiosity, in the name of wisdom, and then Awalmanë, for the healing of the wounds left on my skin.
And I believed that the weapons were forged from plain steel, but in Taro'tär's smithies, it is unknown where. Then they arise as simple weapons, even if well-crafted.
They will not gain their magical power until after the seventh kill. The seven poor beings with them must be deprived of life, and the hot blood must be drunk by the blades. Only then does their steel blade soak in the insidious poison, which returns for three full moons and only a power of forest can remove it.
If the twenty-first poor wretch is killed by a this weapon, only then is it blessed directly by the arm and the sign of Taro'tär. He who believes in good strength will feel wobbly and his faith is shaken for a short but important moment. A strike with such a weapon is accurate and certain; the blade itself is razor sharp and unfortunately, it easily cuts fighters of the Good.
I wish Lümindon herself turned those weapons to dust, but we can't bother her with such services. It is now our job to break them down and lay on Welïson's altar! *

By the Black Warriors, in the northern part of the Utilirön mountains, I saw and was able to try the gift of the Light Side, one of the few that Naul Feofees can use. For the forces of the Powers are largely confined in their own disputes.
On a long, fresh green string entwined with herbal fibers hang five fine tufts, but as big as two adult man's fists. They are bright white and resemble children's toys.
And such they could indeed be, but if a good being enjoys them, with a relentless desire to overcome the forces of Darkness, the tufts will become deadly. They are hairy creations of the hare Pümi, a holy being from Alwalon.
The warriors put this bullet into the slingshots and then throw it at the bodies of the monsters of Darkness. And with great effect, because the white bunch is like a powerful stone from a throwing machine, which pierces the armor as if it were only a glass goblet. Such missiles are very difficult to dodge and cause severe injuries when hit.
The affected area begins to glow white and blinds the monsters around. Eventually, when the Monster of Darkness falls, which is very common, its soaking remains quickly seep into the ground within half an hour, and its grave loses its disgusting taste of the curse of Darkness.
However, the white gift is destroyed by this and regrettably disappear without a trace. *

One hundred reaches of diameter, the structure, as if rooted in a rocky outcrop, is half pasture above the stormy sea. And even today, its foundations are up to thirty reaches high.
The stone throne certainly has a very special power that can be felt as soon as we enter it. Slightly delightful feeling spreads through the body. I sat in that place for many days and saw my scars and wrinkles from my travels and wandering smooth out as if they had never been. So I think the legend of the healing power of this building is true.

For thirty-three towers, gracefully winding around each other, towered to the height of another, half pasture above the cliff itself, and each of the towers was accessible by its own white staircase. At the top of each tower, and also all the way to the top, thirty-three ornate chairs were always prepared - and each carried a gemstone as an ornament.
Many Beasters of those times sat in these chairs and rested, healed their wounds, or offered silent prayers, whether under the rays of Slöynan or sprinkled with damp rain, but were never whipped by rain or strong winds.

As big as a rowboat for fifty men, uniform in color but disgusting to the eye, it radiated cold and heat around it, for it was magical.
It was probably Toroli, who wanted to drag him to the southern countries by dragging, frozen in ice. But disgust at the sight and the terrible, unearthly smell of the melting outcast forced Toroli to leave the matter to the waves.
However, Oboht's disgorging did not drown and ended up on the Walüntor coast after a long time, from where it disappeared.
It is not known who or by which route he was transported, but many of the alembicists of later times used the essence of Oboht's disgorging in Inwar, Tü'triglau, Anduyk, Hoygun, Operano, Cape Tuwendi Kitfë, Haslikor, and finally Kibuh. On the map, this path forms a strange oval.
A small amount of disgorging is enough for the potion produced to gain unexpected strength. *
