A few days after the First Shepherd gets settled in Kyric, he reads over the other copies of the Libre Statera. Being the last of the Shepherds, Rodin is the only person left alive who is able to read their written code. He reads aloud his entries as well as the entries left behind out loud. Those present are Apostle Savok, King Laylan, Father Odwin, Father Voss, and Father Travo.   (Note: The exact translations are disputed among the different religious groups of Reus, The ones listed below are believed by the Order of Balance and the Keepers of Reus to be the most accurate of all.)   From the first entry in the First Shepherd Rodin's Libre Statera: "There are those who will never hear of me or my actions, yet they will be able to become attuned to the elements that make up everything and even manipulate them. Nature encourages balance, and those who control the elements risk to upset that balance. But they can also help keep it."   From the second entry in the First Shepherd Rodin's Libre Statera: "This is the cost of agression, these people had expanded too quickly, prospered too fast, and as a result had rendered the land around them useless. Balance is key in all aspects of life, and to challenge that will only end in suffering and loss."   From the Fourth Shepherd Luthver's Libre Statera: "Mourn the loss of the dead, remember them, but do not worry of their fate or your's. All life is drawn from the Wheel of Fate, recollected, and respun from it. The Wheel of Fate must turn, all are redeemed in the cleansing momentum of birth, death, and rebirth. This is the Engine of Life, the purifying rhythm of the universe, to which all souls are irresistibly drawn."   From the Fifth Shepherd Algris' Libre Statera: "Remember that order and stability are important. Man is embracing my word and gifts and will prosper, should the other beings of the world worship me as you do, they too would prosper."   From the Sixth Shepherd Welroc's Libre Statera: "I am the creator and the keeper of balance, others have come before you claiming to have heard from a divine force, ignore these falsehoods, embrace these lost, inform them of my existence and my actions."   From the Seventh Shepherd Brendev's Libre Statera: "These people had seen the errors of their way over time. Even if they were unaware of my existence, my teachings have resonated with them. Dedicate yourself to your family, your neighbors, and your enemies. Embrace them all and keep them close. Balance is kept through unity, and prosperity through order."   Keepers valued this information greatly and pondered over the words from Reus for quite sometime.   Many were curious where the Third Shepherd was, as well as his Liber Statera.
