The People

There is Gaea, Mother, the entity of creation and the creator of everything that is perceived. Gaea is she.

There are five elements: Earth, Water, Wind, Fire and Storm. They were all created by Mother, and they gave substance to the essence of Mother. Four were the original elements; Storm was the creation of the power of Water, Wind and Fire together. Thus, Earth and Water are held in surrounded by the conglomerations of Wind, Fire and Storm, making the physical entity of Gaea, where all living things live. All made by the power of creation of Mother.

Five elements, five people. The Gaeans are the people of Earth; the waterpeople are the people of Water; the winged people are the people of the Wind; the fairies and the fire kings are the people of Fire and the mysterious Domeinar are the ones of the Storm.

Gaeans have a strong relationship with the waterpeople and the winged people. Most waterpeople live in the canals of Traékuam, the city in the delta. Their main city is underwater near the ports of the three cities. They survived the coming of the dragons and the suffocation of the mist. The waterpeople have shining skins and the ability to breathe the water. Their women are beautiful and seductive, and they are renowned for being very skilled singers. The watermen have for a long time aided Gaean sailors in their trips, and they have shared the lore of shipbuilding and the secrets of the seas with them.

The winged people live in the Northern Mountains at the three main spring sources of the Father River. Their two most important cities: Libel Zundel and Libel Eldun, boast with the magnificence of the stonecraft and the skills of metal. Tall and slender, their body is covered with a soft feather-like hair. Their eyes are never the same colour, and they have no blacks or whites. Unknown for many years, they were discovered by the Gaeans prior to the Reign of Terror and began a successful trading relationship for the mineral resources the winged people are able to extract from the mountains.

The fairies are a mystery as well as the Domeinar. Very few people have seen fairies. They hide well from other people's gaze, though it is told they shine with the light of fire and that they are extremely beautiful. The proud Domeinar have come and gone, and have helped Gaeans in battle. Their power and their strength to control the light and the water and the thunder by sacrificing their lives provides one of the most powerful weapons.

Five people from five elements. Three people sharing the kingdom. These are the stories of the people of Earth, the Gaeans.

The City

Prosperous city of Gaea in the valley. The home of the Starwatcher. The city on the ragged hill, south of the Battle Fields. Hidden behind the long watergreen grass, the towers of the palace soar into the sky with the thousand colours of their marble. The highest tower is the Observatory in the Keeper's wing.

Gaea, city of merchants. Gaea, ancient and noble. The height of its power lasted for 2501 years, a golden prosperous age of economic power and thriving political relations with the principality of the Delta. Gaea, the city state. Gaea was ruled by the seven merchant princes from the seven noble families of merchants. They lived in the Palace, majestic, rich; it comprised most of the hill. Some parts of the walls of the city are remnants of the walls of the ancient Palace. The new Palace, the one of the kingdom, the one with its thousand coloured marble, is just a simple imitation of the old one.

Gaea, the capital of the kingdom. Once recovered, its new foundation began a new prosperous era. The city built its wall all around its ragged hill. The new Palace was built on parts of the old foundations of the previous one. Seven towers stand high: three observatories, four watchtowers. The gardens were enlarged; the gates were magnified. The King and the Queen live there with their children in the Thinker's wing. The Starwatcher, the Great Warrior and their children occupy the Keeper's wing. The Great Wiser also lived there for a few years, as well as the Storm Maker.

Gaea, the inner city surrounded by the wall. Its narrow streets lead to nowhere, to dead ends and fountains and gardens. Stairs and walls, windows and doors. The city bustles with activity at the market in front of the gates of the Palace, at the schools, at the craftrooms. The House of Stories, where the Storyteller and the Great Wiser live with their children, holds the most important books and manuscripts, all the Gaean lore. The printing workshops, ten in total, lie close by. The House of Stories, with its grey stone and its carved wooden seats and tables. The biggest house in the inner city after the Palace.

Gaea, the outer city. Three roads lead into Gaea: the road from the east comes from the Delta and the city of Traékuam; the road from the south comes from the small port of the city by the Father River; the road from the west comes from the border of the kingdom at the turn of the Father River. The city outgrew its limits and prospered. People built their houses outside the walls. They traced them with big gardens that bordered the sinuous streets that led to the three main roads. The inner city is a labyrinth of stone and houses; the outer city is a conglomerate of winding paths and and gardens.

Gaea, the city that controls the valley. Its powerful rule under the merchant princes still holds strong despite the years of terror. It is the rich new city with a tradition of prosperity. This is the city of the Starwatcher.

The Starwatcher

I quote myself:

This was the task of the Starwatcher: to open the windows of the observatories, to sit all night to see and listen to the constant rhythm of the sky, to write down every note and every location, to be the keeper of the secrets of the universe - 'The Wandering Star'

Eleni mroech Linmkova, the most beautiful woman that has ever existed on this land. Tall, proud, wise. She is the Starwatcher, a Wiser, the greatest Keeper. She survived wars; she survived men and their stubborness. She is absolutely stunning.

And there she sits in the highest tower, her observatory, and watches the stars. Because the stars sing, and tell her of what has been. Thus she understands the present and she can tell of the future. Eleni Starwatcher, a healer. She knows the condition and qualities of the elements, of nature. She keeps the lore of Mother, the tradition of treating illnesses.

Eleni Linmkova is the most respected woman in the kingdom. She is determined; people love her and fear her. She has a stern look; piercing grey eyes. All women look up to her and all men adore her. She has been hallowed by the stars, and she controls the burning of the stardust.

Eleni mroech Linmkova, daughter of Galieni. She was born in the year 2498 of the most prosperous time of the city-state of Gaea. She was a direct descendant from two of the royal merchant families. She endured the Reign of Terror that devastated her home. She knew her man and bore him two daughters. By the age of 20, she was a respected master healer and a devoted mother. She was the only woman to love twice. She took her other man and bore him a son. And the stars hallowed her womb and she bore her last son at the age of 44.

There is no more astonishing person as she is. She sits and lets her dark blue robes scatter across the floor. She takes the quill and writes of the humming of the stars, of the secrets and the stories they reveal. The Starwatcher will never stop doing her task. Only if the stars falter and sing no more.

Eleni = so far no names have a meaning; they are just sounds that please the parents when they name their children
mroech = master, a person who has learned and mastered a skill to work and take a job
kovanpishta = watchtower, observatory
pishta = tower
Sei = moon
Lei = sun
ban = sky
Gaea = Mother, the entity of creation, the creator of all that is perceived

The land and the watcher

This is thought and creation of the land of Gaea, of the Starwatcher and what she sees in the singing of the stars.

Here will be the details of every person and of every life and of what they say and what they might have said.

And just like the Starwatcher, we will know of past and of present and of future.

This is second to have first. The blog has begun.

Starwatcher = linmkova

linm = star
kova = watcher
koévr = to see, to watch, to observe

First, no, not first

I will comment later on.

Still have to find out if this is a good idea.
