History
The first elocutionist to travel and speak was ___ who studied the nature of a variety of creatures. They met ____ who was passionate about ____ and they banded together to share their knowledge. As they traveled further more experts joined them. Over the next few years they discovered that the public attention span was short and only one lecture could be given at one sitting. This caused the group to split up and travel in different directions with plans to reunite on a given date. When they reunited they set up the Námsbraut Institution, which was then known as the Elocutionist Society. Over time they began having more organised maps, planning ahead and deliberately recruiting members to fill knowledge gaps.
Scribes began attending lectures and writing down the knowledge and they found they had need of somewhere to house their numerous texts. They built a place where knowledge could be nurtured, shared and kept safe and it became one of the earliest places of learning. Traveling elocutionists still went out and shared knowledge throughout the land but students also came to the Institution to learn. Any passersby were welcomed, offered accommodation and food in exchange for knowledge. It's believed that students are encouraged to copy the texts and that due to fear of losing their gathered knowledge, an underground library is being duplicated and amassed to protect it all.
