In the main temple of Silanarë in Arqnasquirg, the scholar Ukunhururarklo was investigating the ancient records from the precursor temple to Angle Sou (the ancient Death God), the ruins of which the modern temple to Silanarë was built on. He was looking for records and artifacts from that temple to use for a short monograph on religion in the pre-Splinter age.
He came across a section in the deep subbasements of the temple that had been partially caved in during the heinous attack on SilanarĂ«’s temple by the evil insect god, just shortly after the temple was consecrated with Squirg, He discovered some buried steps and set about excavating to determine where these steps would lead.
After much effort, including help from hordes of acolytes, a passage was uncovered and cleared. The passage lead to a stone door that had been magically sealed, but the magic had failed at the splintering of the universe. The only remnant was a small wax seal with the name of the last high priest of Angle Sou as the last lock on the door.
Ukunhururarklo carefully removed the seal and had the acolytes move the stone door. Inside he saw many wonderful things, old Death God paraphernalia, scrolls containing prayers and lists of members and priests, along with notations on their generosity to the temple. These were the things he was searching for and would assist him in his monograph.
And there was one other thing he noticed in the small storeroom. There was a chest, about the size of a quarter cask of Squirg, with a curious seal on it. The writing was very ancient Yanin, but he could discern a name: “Kulakoonstru”.
His heart raced. He had, of course, heard of the great Kulakoonstru, but not a great many specific details were known about this Yanin. He gently opened the chest and saw several things. One was a figurine of a Yanin, undoubtedly Kulakoonstru, another was a fragile cylinder seal that he inspected and then carefully wrapped in silk. The last item he found was a great many scrolls, wrapped in cloth that was deteriorating. It was an epic poem. The scrolls themselves were written in an ancient tongue and in various states of decay, but he could recognize “Kulakoonstru” in many lines and in the title of the work.
This was the life story of the great Yanin Kulakoonstru! It was the discovery of the century!
