Tabula Litera

The Tabula Litera is a collection of Duskfarian Myths considered to detail the creation of the universe and the relationship between mortals and the divine. The Tabula Litera was transcribed from the Tblisi Tablets, a series of several ancient stone tablets etched with hieroglyphic stories.

Organization
The Tablu Litera is divided into three sections known as Canons:

The Creation
A series of stories that explain the creation of the universe as well as the birth of Gods

The Divine
A collection of myths that detail the development of the deities regarding their powers and personalities.

The Mortals
A record of direct interactions between mortals and Gods as well as stories meant to teach morality.

Authorship and Development
The original transcription of the Tabula Litera was written by a group of unnamed priests from the Order of Litera within the city of Tblisin. After the city fell to ruin in the Batlle of Tblisin, the Order moved the copy to an unmarked cave within the hills of Duskfar to be held in safety until peace was restored. After several decades, the Order moved the Tabula Litera to the growing city of King’s Bay where it was held in what would become the School of Imastut.

The scribes of the institution copied the original transcript into common, dwarfish, elvish and even a simplified version for the less educated. The modern version of the Tabula Litera was written by the resident theologian Anthio Guiterro.

Interpretation
Much of the religion’s followers consider the words of the Tabula Litera to be literal and for its instructions to be followed exactly.

However, there remains a school of thought that suggests that the Canons are nothing more than lessons taught through story-telling and that mortals cannot understand the Gods as described in the Tabula Litera. These individuals are often considered heretical and remain few and far between within Duskfar.
