Last Elegy: A Recount of Gods' End

Written after Gods' End, Last Elegy was an attempt at preserving the events that led up to and occurred during the near apocalypse for future generations. In a foreword, the author states:   

"I do not know what will happen from here on, and no one else does either, now. The Weave is fragile, and the future blurry in absence of the Dreamer and Weaver. Our gods are gone, leaving us and those deities that may still be up there to pick up the pieces of the Five's shattered domains.    I do not care if this is reviled, if I must pass this recount on alone. Those who come after us must know what led up to this, what happens if the gods disappear again with no one to ascend to their places. I cannot know everything, and it is not in my nature to put away emotion to write only cold, hard facts, but I will do my utmost to make this as accurate as possible. I only hope that this will be of some use- though I pray only for historical reference and nothing else."

End of the Divine Era

A more fact-based, formal account of the Exodus and Gods' End. The author references it several times, giving more context and insight to the drier text's recounting while also verifying Last Elegy's legitimacy.   

Book of Creation

The myths and history noted in these inter-connected documents are brought up several times as the author discusses the gods and their influence on the world. Though these texts are half legend, half history, the Book of Creation was the oldest and most referenced collection of texts in the Divine Era.   

The Weave of the World 

Heavily referenced to give more explanation as to why the Weaver's disappearance was the last straw that cumulated in Gods' End. Though some information in the text has since been disproven or clarified, it was, at the time, the foremost information source for how and why magic functioned the way it did.

Though physical and digital copies of the text are available to the general public, the possible original book is kept in a secure location by the author's descendants. As the author went by a pseudonym, no one is sure where it is or who has access to it, just that it exists and is in the care of said descendants.

Written 76 years after Gods' End, the text sparked an uptick in historical preservation as the remaining populace attempted to record and preserve what history and culture they could from the Divine Era.

There was some controversy over the publishing of Last Elegy, as many of those left found it aggravated the wounds left by the events. However, the majority of the public took its existence with somber acceptance, not wanting the future generations to forget the hell they went though if oral tradition failed.

Last Elegy marked an increase in the world's concern with preservation, and even in the current time that impact is clearly seen. Despite some of the world's current problems, the general public shames and laments any lost knowledge or culture, pushing efforts for protection of both the world and history.    Laws leftover from the Restoration Era concerning the punishing of destruction of historical and cultural texts, conservation and cultural sites, and other similar things are still enforced when needed. This was especially important in the prevention of excessive destruction of nature during industrial boom of the Technology Era, and helped with efforts to restore any areas negatively affected by those that attempted to bypass those laws.    However, it also sparked an uptick in necromancy as some woke the dead to gain more knowledge of things lost during the near end.
