The Chromaticon

Overview

The Chromaticon is the holy book of the Faith of Scael. The original was said to be written by Scael, the first High Cleric. Inside the hallowed tome was personal sayings, sage advice, warnings, parables, and most importantly, a single spell: Era of the Gods. While copies were made, many were destroyed during the reign of the Solar Empire from 6000 BA to 5000 BA. In 5755 BA, the original Chromaticon was destroyed along with the last High Cleric during a battle with a wicked dragon, Asdaelger the Ancient, and with it, the spell mentioned above. Now, very few copies reamain, hoarded by sages and erudites. but there are whispers, rumours, even a snippet of a captured conversation, all saying one thing: The Chromaticon survived the battle with Asdaelger, and it lies somewhere within the Shardstone Forest.  

Look

The Chromaticon is said to have been bound in leather from the Gods own herds, with Adamant binding and the cover embossed in gold, with the personal crest of Scael, which has been lost to us. The pages were said to be made of the finest vellum, with the ink of a Kraken inscribed on the pages. Supposedly, it glowed with a soft, white-golden light that soothed those who were suffering.  

The High Cleric

The High Cleric was the person responsible for the wellfare of the Faith of Scael. Once you became the High Cleric, you held the office for life. The High Cleric's duties included going around and healing the sick, teaching and spreading the faith, offering counsel to world leaders, and diffusing tensions between warring nations. Unfortunatly, the last High Cleric was slain in the battle with Asdaelger, thus leading to teh Chromaticon supposedly being destroyed.
