Purpose
This is the earliest document in the archives to show the transition away from listed direct ancestors and beginning to generalise and shows the etymological evolution of surnames in jotun culture. Whether this right of referencing ancestors by dynasty and an powerful relative was limited to the noble family is uncertain, as Storvakis only sought to protect chronologies of the noble court and great giants of his empire.
This is another document which seems to hint at the patriarchal style of governance of Krowethia. Patriarchy is of course very rare in Prima Terra, with only Rexia being the other theorised patriarchal power in all of prima terran history.
