Jasper Jule: 1

Jasper Jule: Introduction
​Written in 2,991 SGF 

Many historians go without naming their work.  Choosing instead the quiet and fulfilling silence of a job well done in obscurity.  I however, have worked far too hard and am far to vane for such a life.

I am Jasper Jule, and I have dedicated my life to learning the history of our world, Aleta.  But what use is knowledge, if it is hoarded away and never shared?  It was such ideals that led me to the inescapable conclusion that I must put to paper all which I have learned.  If not new, my writings will at least be an escape from the moldy and monotonous tomes of other less excitable historians.  

Where else is there to begin, then at the beginning.  Our modern formula for recording the date is to measure the years that have passed Since the Great Fire.  Hence SGF.  There are no surviving manuscripts that tell of the events surrounding what was to be known as the Great Fire, but oral tradition states that the stars fell from the sky, and burned all of mankind and civilization to ash.  While we can not say if indeed it was the stars that fell, I have consulted libraries from all corners of the globe, and the Great Fire is recorded in all of them at the same time.  Whatever happened nearly three thousand years ago, happened across the width and breadth of Aleta. 

That being said, this is all the more I will write about the Great Fire.  There is no information or writings on that time, nothing but speculation at least.  I do not pass on fancies or guesses, therefore I shall not touch on such topics.  Which brings me to yet another difference in my writings.  I will not be writing in a linear fashion, in my opinion too much is lost when history is told along a timeline.  Instead I will dedicate each section of my writings toward a separate subject, and explore that subject in its entirety.
