The Lore of Annihilation

Don't you hate when you start out to prove someone wrong and you find out they are probably right? I hate that, it almost makes me wish I'd never set out to prove anyone wrong, but then again I wouldn't then prove them wrong and get that smug sense of satisfaction right? Or wrong, I'm lost lets start over. 

Ok so after my meeting with Trix I decided to find out some lore on this weapon of the Fire Mother and see what if anything it could be used for to stop us all from being killed to death. Turns out ancient religions that became the basis for a current banned religion, not so popular in the country that banned them (I know it surpised me too). The best I could come up with out of a couple days of searching (don't worry I told the guard not to execute Trix until I could determine she was lying, see I'm a giver) was a dusty book written in what looked like urine on pages made of leaves (and it cost a lot of money to just buy it, surpringly urine written leaf books are in huge demand or something).

The writing was the same language as the ruin, though it was more modernized (as in there were words from our current dialect in it) which spoke of using the gift from the Fire Mother to slay the "Beast".  Well it eventually did, most of it was boring mumbo jumbo about their god and her love and blah blah blah.  Honestly this is one of the few cultures who seemed to like the Fire God instead of just curing her name for the constant conflict.  Even the Followers don't worship her as a just deity, they worship her as a neccessary one.  Maybe in her youth she was a nicer god? I have no idea.

Anyway to the actual beast writing.  Seems that the Fire Mother "birthed" an Abomination at some point.  Now I don't know if that means created, or literraly gave birth to it, but the creature was destructive (indeed it apparently killed most of her worshippers which lead to them later on being wiped out by the people who now currently inhabit Ronerawth). The mother unwilling to put down her child locked it away and apparently informed the remaining people of the group should it get loose again the gift could kill the creature.

I was really confused by this tale, not only was the Fire God nice, but she had a child and refused to just murder it? I almost started to doubt that the current Fire God was the original (something I confirmed with Val years later, yeah same chick).  Unfortunately though it did support Trix's assertion destruction was coming, and so with a heavy heart I had to trek back to the castle and stop her from being executed, get the relic out of the vault, and then kill a god's own abomination.  You know something really easy...
