Sol’s Gifts

As Sol watched the people he felt sorry for them. They wandered the land cold and hungry - and they died so quickly … Sol was in a good mood that day, he had decided that the people were his children, and when he saw them suffering, it saddened him.

He decided that he should help – but how? As he watched he saw that there were a few people who were more devout than the others - they lead the prayers to the gods and prayed even more often themselves. That was good in Sol’s eyes …

He saw that that the families each had a leader, the one who made the decisions for the whole family, and he decided that was good too …

So he thought, and he decided on a plan …

To those who led the prayers (priest/druids) he gave the secret of fire, when they called upon him in the right way, he would give them some of the flame from his body (Fire spells) and he also taught them how to make flames by rubbing sticks together in the right way. BUT - he made a deal with them - the knowledge wasn’t given without a price…

First was a compact for all the people - the fire had to be treated as special - after all it was a part of Sol - the fire wasn’t to be used to hurt Gaya (ie can’t be used to burn trees down etc) and it had to be respected -

Second was a compact for the priests – they had to support the leader, become his guide, his reminder of the gods will - after all the leaders were so busy making sure their family kept alive, sometimes they forgot. It was the priests job to make sure they didn’t forget for too long …
