Journal of Friar Belfstian

Friar Belfstian's journal documenting his adventures in Hangra.

Purpose

Friar Belfstian, a minister from the Ealdenstead of Hangra, kept a journal to document his adventures and his growing relationship with The Shining Lord. He also deeply expounded upon the scriptures, providing insight into what each meant to him. He additionally used this journal as a ministering tool and a testimony to all, referencing it from time to time when teaching, and sharing excerpts upon scrolls to the village people.

Document Structure

References

The Testament of The Shining Lord is constantly referenced, and scriptures within are explored and expounded upon. Friar Belfstian made known his personal views of God's word and what it meant to him. There are also many references to Anathema's Casket which has since developed into its own legend.

Publication Status

This diary was a private log for Friar Belfstian (though he often allowed others to read from it, referenced it during some sermons, and shared excerpts upon scrolls) until his death of natural causes. Upon that, as he had prearranged, his journal would be made public to all as a testimony of his life and the evident power of The Shining Lord. This book was then copied down by the members of the Ealdenstead of Hangra and distributed freely, for Friar Belfstian desired not to charge any money for it.
