A Match of Two Half’s

Perial was the original pure soul, the one shining light that deserved saving and from her belief in such things she ultimately saved the whole world from the darkness of demons, God said that all the rest of the villagers, indeed the entire world, were wicked and that they deserved each other and all that they got… pain and punishment. But they were also forgiven and so they survived to witness the new dawn of the new moonrise on the new land and became the four corners future inhabitants, and Perial the Good must have done so as well. Perhaps she could have followed him and journeyed to Atur? but no, he left her behind to walk his path alone.

After the events in Atur, Perial the Good was renowned and famous in the world long enough for the new priests her son  created to indoctrinate her name into their holy books at the very least. But was the mother of God also declared as head of the new church? …No! That sounds very wrong, ‘A Pontifex Always Ranks Under a Queen!’ after all, and it was Selitos One -Eye and his church amyr who were turning that particular wheel. But Lady Perial still remains the single most important and significant person in modern history, blessed by god and, more significantly, the one person in the whole world that wasn’t struck by down by iron or had her original longname changed into something new that it was not before. Everyone else in the world suffered that fate, everyone except her, which would make her a bit different from all the others who were saved, a bit special. In reality, this also makes her the matriarch of the oldest bloodline in creation, one last surviving name from of the time and blood of the Ergen empire. A name that was above reproach, never banished, forgotten, ‘cut away’ or remotely challenged in her position of ‘mother of the race that died’…perhaps. Older than the King of Modeg. Older than the king of Vint. Older than Heldred of the nomad Cealdim… Older than Tehlu! The most important woman in the FOur Corners. The only one whose heart was pure enough to matter to Aleph. Her blood bought the son that saved the world and brought the flood, the blood of kings is nothing compared to that of her line. Lady Perial was one the the original inhabitant’s of the most important village in history, the place where fresh hope began once more. All of man and demon kind began following their new choice of path from right outside her front door.

This is where Aleph drew a line in the dirt of the road and all the paths in the new world began from her front doorstep which names her village as the most important and the earliest place in modern history, aka Tinuë. Ancient Tinue was itself once part of the Lackless estates, which puts Perial’s bloodline in some very old company indeed. Of course as far as records can tell, the oldest Family name was then spelt Loeclos (not Loëclos!) and their line was based around the mysteries found on their own doorstep. Their family door we have established as being at one end of the Old Stone Road, found on the oldest parts of their ancestral land, And it doesn’t take a lot of thinking to suggest that both of these doors are in all actuality, one and the same thing.

The Mother of the purest Ergen bloodline in the four corners began her tale in the corner of the world that would became known as Tinuë, the first place to be cleansed of demons a beacon of hope for all of mankind, a place the start afresh, a place where the waystones directed everyone else to gather safely whilst the Wrath of God walked the land and did his ironwork upon the demons. Perial was the founding member of the first house dynasty in the new age of the Four Corners of Civilization, of which much is remembered but even more is forgotten, most of it deliberately, but founding a dynasty would require her to have a husband, and I bet you a jot that her married name was to become the FirstLady Perial Loeclos of Tinusa, aka Lady Lackless of the ‘Seven things has Lady Lackless’ song.

According to that bundle of tangles, Lady Lackless did indeed a husband, in fact that song tells us more about him than it does her! But who could possibly match up to being a worthy king to the Queen of the Free World?

The Only person who could come close to matching Perial in the saving the world stakes would be the One who offered a beacon of hope in the first place by remembering the Lethani and saving the seventh city from the actions of Lanre and his followers. Only through their actions was total global catastrophe averted and this one last beacon of hope gave Perial a place to stand as she bargained with God to give the world a second chance.

Seven cities and one city makes Eight and 7/8ths of the land has fallen to darkness and despair. This last remaining 1/8 would be the lands controlled by the revered Lord of the last remaining city of Ergen who alone out of all the city lords defied and denied Lanre his total victory. Between them both they would constitute the accumulation of all that was good in the land and therefore the most logical of choices for hailing to be as king and queen. A union to unite the land under the protection of the Last Lord of Eregen and the First Lady of Temerant.

9 ~ A Match of Two Half’s

Perial was the original pure soul, the one shining light that deserved saving and through her goodness she convinced God to save the whole world from the darkness of demons. God said that all the rest of the villagers, indeed the entire world, were wicked and that they deserved each other and all that they got… pain and punishment. But they were also forgiven and so they survived to witness the new dawn of the new moonrise on the new land and became the four corners future inhabitants, and Perial the Good must have done so as well. She might have followed him and journeyed to Atur? but no, he left her house to walk his path alone.

After the events of Tehlu Day, Perial the Good was renowned and famous in the world long enough for the new priests that her son created to indoctrinate her name into their holy books at the very least. But was the mother of God also declared as head of the new church? …No! They did not, but they were still subordinate to her ‘A Pontifex Always Ranks Under a Queen!’ after all, and she was to all intents and purposes regarded as the Queen of the world. Lady Perial still remains the single most important person in modern history, touched by god and, more significantly, the only person in the whole world that wasn’t struck by down by his iron hammer or had her original longname renamed into something new. Hers is now the eldest name in the world. Everyone in the world went under Tehlu's trial by iron, everyone except her, which would make Perial quite a bit different from all the others who were saved, they were all Iron to her gold.

Silver grey

I'm going to have to dip a toe into Ergen now to try and explain a point. 

Tehlu saying that everyone in the world was wicked is quite the generalisation. If we make a comparison with what we know of the previous important date of Lanre day and use the qualification that wickedness is extant in all those citizens who forgot the lethani on Lanre Day and thus doomed the Empire of Ergen then wickedness can be awarded a value. It must then be argued that only 7/8 of the world were actually guilty of wickedness. In a fair trial the remaining 1/8 who remembered the lethani should be found to be not quite as guilty as the rest of the world and might then be pardoned or at worst given a reduced sentence and accorded a different status. It has always baffled me about why some who felt Tehlu's hammer were 'spoken to a bit longer' and these people would be a useful number to fill this 1/8 anomaly I think so I'm going with that. 

And A silver coin splits into 8 bits

Instead of the gold status of Perial or the iron status of the forgiven, those 1/8 who remembered the lethani really ought to be given the silver status, and if we are still talking about eye colour, then silver eyes would translate into grey eyes and were awarded to the denizens of the city that remembered the correct path the first time around.

That's not a bad analogy to imagine things even if it is wrong.

So the Adem silver might consider themselves above the barbarian iron but both would rank beneath perials gold

The Only person who could come close to matching Perial in the saving the world stakes would be the Lord of the city of the city who offered a beacon of hope in the first place by remembering the Lethani and saving the seventh city from the actions of Lanre and his followers. Only through his actions was total global catastrophe averted and this one last beacon of hope gave Perial a place to stand as she bargained with God to give the world a second chance.

Seven cities and one city makes Eight and 7/8ths of the land has fallen to darkness and despair. This last remaining 1/8 would be the lands controlled by the revered Lord of the last remaining city of Ergen who alone out of all the city lords defied and denied Lanre his total victory.

a bit special. In reality, this also makes her the matriarch of the oldest bloodline in creation, one last surviving name from of the time and blood of the Ergen empire. A name that was above reproach, never banished by iron, forgotten by history or even remotely challenged in her claim to first house in the 4Corners…well perhaps she was. In truth though her house is Older than the King of Modeg. Older than the king of Vint. Older than Heldred of the nomad Cealdim… Older than Tehlu! The most important woman in the world The only one whose heart was pure enough to matter to Aleph. Her bloodline ran the son that saved the world and brought the flood, the blood of kings is nothing compared to that of Saint Perial who was one the the matriarch of the most important house in history, the place where fresh hope began once more when everyone began following their new choice of path that started from right outside her front door.

That is where Tehlu drew a line in the dirt of the road which in reality must have been a simile for the creation of the Old Stone Road. How, idk, but that's the answer we are clearly shown. and all the paths in his new world began from here. The free city of Tinue is not too far from their door and so it follows that Tehlu was a Tinusan. in thiswhich puts Perial’s bloodline in some very old company indeed. Of course as far as records can tell, the oldest Family name was then spelt Loeclos (not Loëclos!) and their line was based around the mysteries found on their own doorstep. Their family door we have established as being at one end of the Old Stone Road, found on the oldest parts of their ancestral land, And it doesn’t take a lot of thinking to suggest that both of these doors are in all actuality, one and the same thing.

According to that bundle of tangles, Lady Lackless did indeed a husband, in fact that song tells us more about him than it does her! But who could possibly match up to being a worthy king to the Queen of the Free World?

He probably also gets his bright red hair from the male side suggesting this first Lord Lockless was also was also a red head which if you put everything together pretty much wraps up the case for Perial's one time husband to have been called Illian, first Lord of the the Edema Ruh.

Immaculate conception 

Lady Perial has a bit of a reputation for having lots of men. Fain says so. 

 [Go to later piece?]In Trapis story it is mentioned that Perial's neighbours 

"Were afraid that she might have lain down with a demon, and that her child was a demon's child. Such things were not unheard of in those dark times."

This would mean that there were officially half demons walking the land, ones with a physical link to it giving it a hybrid with the stronger demonic half seeking control over it's weaker mortal half.

Of the seven who refused to cross, all were eventually struck down but #4 gets markedly different treatment from the other 6.

"Tehlu grabbed the demon and broke it in his hands, cursing it's name and sending it back to the outer darkness that is the home of it's kind.

I transle this as meaning that he broke it in Half! he separated the bad demon half from the innocent human half just like he was breaking a bad penny.

So what happened to human #4 after that?

His inner demon was ripped out and anyone who were carrying a demon child when Tehlu offered them his path would have a demon growing inside them when he struck 

"Many of the men and women had demons hiding inside them that fled 

 inside you, not babies fault. Not wicked. Tehlu spoke to them a bit longer than the rest. Silver eyes a

re demon eyes?

Illian was Lord of Myr t, Felurian's twin brother. She remembered, he got posses

sed and forgot, but was freed by Tehlu, only half bad. Only half good.
