Description
The Seven Theses are the writings of the so-called society-gods: primarily Deanala, Fae'len, Aelis and Thear. The first book begins with a guide from Deanala on how to establish societies and live fairly, organizing their hierarchies in an acceptable and unoppressive way. It is followed by a book by Thear, who lays down the foundation of law and justice as functions of these societies, parts of which are then refuted by Aelis in the following book, as she argues for liberty. Aelis passively mentions Yerev, but the god of anarchy is then left out, and the fourth thesis follows from Deanala, who strikes a more cordially and compromising interpretation of the previous two books, while alluding to her own first. The fifth book is then authored by Jeth, who speaks of the importance of maintaining a balance with nature for society's survival. It leads into a sixth book, a dialogue between Aelis and Thear about how Jeth's words best fit into their ideal societies, and finishes on a seventh, by Fae'len, who exalts minorities and rejects the chaos of Aelis and the law of Thear as trivialities only relevant in truly equal societies. The theses end on Fae'len's words, with no response uttered by the other gods. Minor treatises exist, allegedly also holy, which serve as commentaries and dialogues on the seventh thesis, but none are considered sacred or important enough to be considered an eighth.
