Ben's First Age Story

Great Al Manākha, Proclaimer of Truths, Dispeller of Illusions, Enlightened One under the Sun, Master of the Chimera, Provider of Abundance ... etc

Noted for travelling across creation, noting the extent of the Wyld, the great census of dreams, worker of wonders and expediter of efficiencies.

It was nearing the height of the powers of the Solar Exalted that during Al's travels that he came across a great secret valley. It was a peaceful valley with several communities living harmoniously together. Any disputes were resolved by the great mountain spirit. But Al Manākha surveyed the land and saw that ithildin was available to be mined. When Al went about arranging this to happen, the great mountain spirit objected.

Al Manākha would not be defied and sent the great mountain spirit into a deep sleep of dormancy, filling the mountain with tormenting dreams never to defy the Exalted ever again.

Having dealt with the objections, Al Manākha appointed the village he was closed to to be in charge and left then to mine the resources.

From that day forth the different communities could find no peace together and war across the land over the resources continued ever more. This disharmony and chastising made Sol cry.
