== 1553 Version ==
Once there was a man who lived in the forest and hunted to find meat to eat and skins to wear. This man had been made a refugee when the war had broken out against the Thanorians. He had only managed to escape with his bow and a small quiver of arrows. He now lived in a cave in the forest and hunted just enough to stay alive. This man realised that for him to kill too many animals for his own means he would be as guilty as those who had caused his plight. So he only killed as many animals as was necessary for his survival.
He often wondered if he should take revenge upon those who had killed his children, wife, parents, sisters and brothers. This man however knew that he could not take on an entire people by himself and so contented himself to looking after the forest from those who would harm it. The man gained quite a reputation as having great skill with the bow and also acute animal kinsmanship. All the people close to the forest would say that "if you went to the forest to do harm to it then the messenger of Novum would smite you down and curse your family. For they are people who are the bringers of doom to the world".
