**Era of Ganßecé** is a literary fragment written Aldric Éadhin Asagrim, detailing the history of the Ganßecé and their arrival to Rathnir. The first section of the piece is written in a mixture of verse and prose, coherently outlining the origin of the Ganßecé from the perspective of a member of the race.

The second book represents a fragment. It mostly consists of short-form notes and cryptic allusions to largely undocumented events, entities and locations. The text describes itself as a draft of continuation which the author apparently did not finish prior to the emergence of the document.

# Era of Ganßecé

Book One.

Era of Ganßecé.

A land of innovation, beauty, prosperity.

A civilization of ingenuity, creativity, elegance.

A religion of diligence, might, control.

This book tells about the people of Ganßecé, their doings in the world of old, and the remains of their once shining presence. This book tells about the rise as the fall, the hope as the despair, the bright as the dark.

How we originated has been a question posed to the greatest scholars of all our times, and that question never has been fully answered. However, many of us had found our presence in our world explained by the Great Ansede, and since it has become common knowledge that hardly ever was questioned again.

We found ourselves in a world bar of intelligence, though rich of life. Our early ancestors spent their days as nomads, living their lives as provided by the kettle they were holding and the food they could scavenge. However, as time passed, more and more decided to settle, and the field of agriculture was developed. From that, quickly arose several settlements all over the land of our kind.

The following was a time of great technological and social achievements, and yet an age holding proof of many challenges - existential and natural as well as cultural.

Of course, competition between settlements arose the moment word spread, the moment communication became viable, linking settlements. In this book, the development specifically of both Gro-Ansicun and Aridam is shed light upon.

Gro-Ansicun - or simply Ansicun, eo tempore. The proud capital of our lands, lead by the Consilium Ansicum. Elegant buildings and towers standing tall into the sky, a city dominated by the majestic Cathedral Of Ansicia, the pinnacle of our architectural and logistical capabilities, telling the story of great cooperation in its walls. Nothing after it ever rose to a level akin of this magnificent building.

Book Two.

Time of Misery.

We had faced many challenges within our land, as well as within our community of Ansicun, but none had left us as devastated as the events following the reign Ehldeha's over Aridam.

draft of continuation:

some huge event leading to eradication of nearly all life -> Ehldeha = some antagonist

(Great Ansede is granting the species their life, but the event makes him lose a lot of his power)

one survivor -> Great Ansede only able to maintain one life, though this life is eternal (author)

(hint to this possibly being forked out into many much less complex beings (modern geese) -> fear of author)

-> some reason for a timegap, survivor finding shelter on Cymru, decides to try to conserve the knowledge that is left of the now (nearly) wiped out civilization of Ganßecé, building a church and city (Ansicun)

possibly stories building up on miracles etc happening to the followers of the religion later on

ruins underwater -> sediments burrowing the cities of old over the course of millenias/millions of years
