I am drean. I am she, Shast. This was an early experiment. Could I create a hand of sand, instead of a shell of solid rock? How could such a hand serve any use? Runes? Yes. That was my answer. I stood just outside the perimeter of the town where the sandsea began. I needed that edge to stand on solid eas and yet still have access to plenty of impressionable Mina in the form of sand.
I had no reason to make a hand of sand except out of curiosity. I could request the sand to go around my palm and fingers. It was totally amiable and did as I wished. I am pleased that most drean have a Mina affinity. Then irritation grew as the sand always sifted down between my fingers and over the sides of my hand. Slower than gravity would call the grains, but still falling. As in not staying on my hand like a glove.
I began with runes made of Flora and light. Bright green gjioscript flowed poetically around my digits and palm. Within, the sand sifted and churned but did not spill. Instead, it flowed like a true river-current of sand. More a sea than the sandsea istelf.
I was proud of myself. I have recorded my studies in another parchment roll. I can't imagine this will ever be useful, but maybe a future me will think of something.
[Note of Jighto, Archivist]
~This is the only record we have of anyone ever writing runes in midair. This drean very well is a geniuse of her time. Shame she never manifested a destiny to realize such genius.~
Herein find the Articles of the Denizens of Flor'eliant, or "The Articles" for short. These are first-person accounts of sentient beings that live on the planet of Flor'eliant. Most notable are the records of Drean, Human, Elven, and Gyri - however there are others you may find your curiosity bound to; the Salvyn, and a being with a name that starts with the elven prefix ea-. The rest I cannot translate. These journals and snippets are an incomplete relation of the experiences rich in different cultures, challenges, loves, and so forth that have happened across time on our beautiful planet. To those alien beings that may happen upon "The Articles", the denizens of this planet welcome you.
