The legend of Ovlovak Rydon - told by a Fyros merchant
Ovlovak Rydon had been a great traveller in the old lands and during the great kitin swarming, he shepherded thousands of Fyros from the capital city away from danger into the wilderness. On the morning of the seventh day he went to the crest of a dune to find his bearings when a halo of light came from the heavens and a great one spoke to him.
I am Elias, the father of your condition and I will help you in this moment of need. Take your people to the east to the Ridge of Baldos where you will find a rainbow on the plain. Be swift, Ovlovak. On his bended knees, Ovlovak gave his reply: You have my word, Elias, and as long as breath shall fill my lungs it shall ring true.
There was no time to lose, the wind could change direction a any moment and carry the Fyros scent to the kitin armies that were at present traveling south. Ovlovak knew the dunes like the knuckles of his hands and, true to his word, led the multitude wisely to the Ridge of Baldos where there stood the promise of Elias. The rainbow carried them far away to a haven in the Prime Roots on another land, but little did Ovlovak know that there could be no return once they had passed through.
By and by as more homins of every race made it to the Prime Roots with tales of horror and destruction, it became clear to Ovlovak that even the rainbows would soon be destroyed by the kitins. The remaining multitudes of homins stranded in the kitin infested areas would never know the way to the sanctuary. But how could they be brought back? To bring anyone back means finding them first!
Again the answer came from the sky, this time at night. Throughout his life travels, Ovlovak had developed a love for star-gazing and could tell where the clusters would appear according to the season. In this way he concluded that the Prime Root sanctuary must be situated far to the west of the ancient lands even though many though they were to the east, as the rainbows had been located to the east of all the homin territories.
The defiance of his advancing years, Ovlovak set out guided by the stars at night on the greatest trek. Every so often, aided by his apprentices, Deuthus Xaphaan and Kedgy Be'Cauny, he planted signposts that pointed the way back to the newfound lands. After many adventures, twice nearly losing his life and three full years of arduous travel, at last he came to a place he knew. The plains of Coriolis, where Fyros history had so often been made, stood before him scarred and maimed after years of kitin devastation.
He went from desert to forest, forest to lake lands, lake lands to jungle, spreading the word of the route to safe haven. I, with my parents, was among the first to take that route which opened the way for the Exodus. My greatest regret is that Ovlovak Rydon, the savior of so many, never saw the rebirth of our civilisation. But I sometimes fancy he is up there looking down from a cloud with Elias.
