SC2020 - Trizur

Trizur was the founder of the Pathfinders, a lore focused division of the Way of the Ancients who see the ancient structures as build by an ancient civilization of vast intelligence and seek to unlock that long lost technology. Many of the new wonders of the Bright Side has their roots in the technology discovered by the Pathfinders. Trizur grew up with highly religious parents, Nalia and Brutak, both devout followers of the Way of the Ancients. They had a hard time satisfying their curious son, as true Wayfarers they took the words of the Guides without question. However, their young son had nothing but questions? His inquiring mind could not be sated with because it is so. Nalia and Brutak adored their only son as if he was a third sun – and his smile would brighten up their faces to match. Thus, they tried their best to answer his questions and hesitatingly started asking the Guides various theological questions. The Guide, Malinkar, grew suspicious of this change to their faith. Both the phrasing and the context of the questions seemed far beyond the scope of anything he had heard from the simple farmers ever before. Malinkar went for an unannounced visit to Nalia and Brutak, who lived in on a small homestead not to far from the village of Krustak. Here he found the only 5 year old Trizur, who not only knew all the legends of the Ancients as he had memories each and everyone of his parents tales, but he seemed to know stuff beyond that, knowledge about ancient legends that his parents did not have. Malinkar initially thought that this knowledge was stories made up by the boy himself. However, they all seemed familiar and in tone with his knowledge of the Way, some even spot on. While Malinkar was still unsure as to the truth of the boys knowledge he did recognize the boy’s great potential and asked if he could stay with the family for some time in order to evaluate what purpose the Ancinets had in mind for Trizur. Malinkar stayed with the small family for a year, during which he grew very font of Trizur. By the time Malinkar left Trizur had learned the entire scripture by heart. He left with the promise that he would return for Trizur when he was old enough to be initiated. Malinkar returned four years after he had initially arrived. It was exactly a year after Malinkar had first arrived that a breakthrough happened. Malinkar decided to see if Trizur still knew the scripture and asked him to recite one of his favorite passages. Trizur recited each word to perfection when suddenly he stopped with the words: “But Malinkar, that is wrong!” Malinkar quickly ensured Trizur, that his recital had been spot on to which Trizur replied: “I know, my recital is correct, but the text is wrong!” Malinkar tried to explain that the text is the text and the text is not wrong, they key is in the interpretation, but Trizur insisted. The Trizur got up and to Malinkar by the hand and let him out to a big pile of boulders close to the house. Trizur climbed atop them and through a small passage, Malinkar, having a slim figure barely managed to follow. Hidden under the boulders was a passage to an underground complex could be found. Here fluorescent carvings lid up the inside of a tubular system. An underground structure of the Ancients unlike anything Malinkar had ever seen. Trizur guided him to a spot and showed him some alien symbols. “See here we can tell that the scripture as you have taught me does not match the writing of the Ancients.” Malinkar was astonished, even more miraculous than this new waste ancient underground network, was the fact that the boy seemed more adapt in reading the language than any of the Ways scholars. Trizur had never learned to read or write, instead he had taken the stories and legends he had heard and found them in the runes within the tunnels.
