Fragments XI-XII

When the Iskuzai arrived in the island of Syrmeos, the Etoi had already been driven out of the mainland or enslaved.Most of the Iskuzai kings were fierce, but they lacked sound judgment and wisdom. Auleo was different: he was more cunning than the red-maned fox, and more skilled than the swift crow; his companions called him ‘Owl-Eyes’ because he could see in the darkness of the future. Auleo persuaded the Iskuzai to spare the life of the Syrmeos Etoi settlers and offered to the latter a way to escape the indignity of slavery. Those settlers were skilled seafarers, never tired of traveling the insidious waves. They also knew the tides and the nature of the winds, and many other secrets of use for those challenging the Sea were open to them. Auleo asked them to share this precious knowledge, and so they did, and they taught him so well that in time Auleo was called the Cartographer. Thus, the greatest of the Iskuzai Lords learned the Etoi language, and his compassionate nature and noble deeds made him so admired that the island of Syremeos, the Golden Island, was renamed Aulea in his honor.

Auleo was anointed as the first King of the Peaceful Island. He built a sacred library to preserve all the knowledge that he and the Etoi scholars had gathered along the years. He called this library the Geographical Temple, and it was erected in the center of Aulea. There he created the most complete and perfect map of the Known World that has ever been devised by human ingenuity. Since it was a sacred knowledge, he painted it on the wall of the Main Room to make it lasting and impossible to steal. On the left side of the main room, he put a bronze statue representing the Divine Mother of the Iskuzai, the War Knowledge. On the right, he put a bronze statue representing the Divine Lover of the Iskuzai, the Peace Knowledge, in the form of the fair-cheeked Autone, one of the noble Etoi matriarchs whom Auleo took as a wife."The Geographical Temple" from Historia Iskuzoin, II by Melanippos
