Archeological Explanation of Dara Happa
Of course, some of proofs in Mundane World is most reliable source even for
speculation of most skeptic learners of Malkioni taking aside of other
subsidiary proofs such as writing of Plentonius and others. Plentonius
mentioned in GROY about the existence of Five Statues, Gods' Wall and
Yuthuppan Copper Ledger (Ivory p.2, I think some of these proofs also were
destroyed in the Timeline after Plentonius.). But we could not choose "right"
from "wrong"
(or Dara Happan from Darjiini) without Objectivity. And the Urbanized Scale
of their "Divine City" Era greatly depended on their subsidiary writings and
concept of their Magical Perception.
For example, Green (Jade) Wall of Alkoth was maybe for itself actual
necklace or finger-ring of Shargash, but if it was true, such how did such
Giants live with human as Giants in Genert Garden of Praxian Mythology?
(maybe they needed big house around the houses of mortals) or they had
elasticity (like Monkey King?) for city living? I cannot say such debate is
meaningful for understanding the allegory, culture, and magical substance of
Mythology.
So I started from Jenarong Era, I know Many Proofs which prove Great
Cataclysm
devastated many major or minor civilzations after first Dusk, we can prove
the Flood and Kuzkurtum Era with materials, but I think such workings are
not meaningful for analyzing more than Dara Happan secondary writings which
have formed their cultures with "Tradition".
Yuthuppa: Anachronistic Sages of Histrical Researches, they have been the
weakest of Tripolis for the matter of force, and outer destroyers erased
many historical monumants which is not needed for their rule, but Yuthuppans
have called themselves they are "Soul" of Dara Happa, as Raibanth is "Heart"
of Dara Happa. Even in Lunar Era, they take pride for Duke Yanafal and
Buseri Ontor participated the Seven Mothers.
And they ignored Physical Proofs for their Inheritance because important
things revealed themselves before Light of Empyrean. And they think they
always can regain Truth from Highest Tower (Of course, it was destroyed by
Sheng, but you can always see it in the mirage...) while Meditation of
Dayzatar. But some of Buserium Sages always required for many proofs for
confirming their Idea of Divine Truth aside from constant Truth of Star
Lore, and tried to regain the Knowledge of Divine Age at least. Their
Greatest Temple of Buserian is the cause of such actions.
Historians of Yuthubars found their object to research the southwest of
modern Hill of Herustana across the River Oslira. (Raibanthi always laughed
at their concept about Divine City which was written by the famous cultural
thinker and architect Iphigios? Raibanthi thought that he wrote only
Allegory for explanation of Ideal City Culture and Buildings. But they are
at least harmless. Another Anachronists are far more dangerous than them,
because they believe all Goodness of Dara Happa only survived in Noble
Blood, and have made notorious experiments more than Ten Tests.
Raibanth: Raibanthi have always been Realists who control both detachedness
of Yuthuppa and Brutality of Alkoth in the Imperial Age of Dara Happa, even
in Lunar Age, such tradition still survives in the luxury of other Silver
Shadow Cities of upstart Glamour and Demonic Good Shore. Traditionalists
still believe Senatus and Ten Tasts always should belong to Five-Based
Ziggurat of Yelmgatha, but realists know their Power exist in the subtlety
and Tradition of Imperial Bureaucrats, and they could easily defeat even
Carmanian Strong Warriors in that sense because they know many technics and
conspiracy beyond their comprehension of Short Local Histories.
So, Pragmatists don't greatly concern or worry about their Historical
Monuments because they can always gather Information from their knowledge of
Blood and Magic (if they can veto the objections of Buserium), and TakenEgi
knows this fact and freely reconstruct the form of their Cities after
enthronment, Destructions of Sheng and Reconstructions of West Reach
Architects much changed the scenery of this City of Murharzarm greatly to
Pelandan, but some of Fundamental System and Form.
In the City Legend of Murharzarm, he induced Netendos in his city for the
proof he could tolerate Novelty under his Justice, but that act made the
first "Center" of this City under the River Oslira, and made a "Inner Ring"
(which only involves Northeast Shore of Oslira, Confluence of modern Joat
and Oslir) and "Outer Ring" (which involves all of Area the confluence,
which involves modern city Amoli. Some of Skeptics don't believe primitive
Dara Happans could remain enough population which administrate such great
areas, and that is political propaganda of Khordavu Era who reconstructed
the Anaxialian Ziggurat and the Unity of tripolis.
Development of East Coast mainly after the Nysalorian Era, and collapse of
Erzanestyu Dynasty greatly came from the disintegration of City Civilization
which induces Civil War and Outer Invaders (Similar to collapse of Roman
Republic? See Isaac Asimov: the Strikeback of Galaxy Empire). And many
outsiders abandoned Old City of "West Coast". And mainly used Eastside "New
City" for their rituals. Emperor Yelmgatha fixed the Ancient Ziggurat of Old
City for the Symbol of returning to Tradition, but Jannisor Rebellion and
Sheng's Attack (Enthronement as Jenarongian Emperor?) devastated this Area
again.
Alkoth: Historically Alkoth have never fallen before Outer Enemies (at
least Refoundation of Worship of Shargash: see Fortunate Succession,
Kargzant vs Shargash), so it seems this city keeps largest legacy of
archeological monuments, but their indifference to Recordkeeping (See
Enclosure 2: Writings of Harald Smith) Worship to Warlike Deity (Shiva? War
is in a sense an aspect of Politic...Gloranthan Pragmatism and Magical
Potential itself disturb each other. See "We hate Darjiini Usurpers"
Section.) They knew there is no new thing under the Yelm, even Rule of
Kuzkurtum or Glory of Nysalor.
Their concept of Time is Constant Flow and Ebb of River Oslira, and Cycle
of Vehement Shargash. And Red Path Berserkers and Buseri traditionally
dislike eachother. City Overseer make a compromise which is not good for
preserving Historical Monuments because even Buseri check priority the
matter of Administration of City. Many Scholars believe they can excavate
Old Urban Life under the Soil of many Enclousures, but clearly they don't
have power to do such blasphemy.
(Generally Speaking, Dara Happans are never Archeologist in the any sense
of Modern RW 21 Century Science, and they can freely change their History
and Buildings with their Magical Heroquest though such act is not good for
tradition because that is straying from Routine Rituals.)
