The withered tome is restored to its former glory. The cover is made of what appears to be salamander skin wrapped around a hard surface to protect the inner contents. It is red in color and emblazoned across the front is a Golden Sun Disc. The title reads in Dethek runes. The pages within are vellum made from calf skin, perhaps minotaur is brought to mind as they have much scarring. The restored version having had to be stitched and infilled in several places.

Within the pages, is a full description of the church, its practices, and a list of high ranking clergy. Listed also are the holidays observed by the devout followers in this faith. There are detailed descriptions of holy vestments and rituals to be performed at dawn. There is also a short timeline that tells of the coming of the Untheric Pantheon to Toril and its subsequent end. The most prominent pages, covered in flakes of gold, rest in the center of the tome. They display impassioned works dedicated to the God, through praise, lament, ambivalence, anger & despair.



'My Dreams Are the Sun'

See that golden hue
Burning in the west
My dreams are with that color
My dreams are the sun
The sun always sets
But never seems to rise
That sun carries my dreams
Slowly out of my reach
I watch it slide away
Leaving me behind
The color disappears
My dreams are with that sun
Whenever the sun sets
It rises in another place
A place blessed by that light
My dreams are hidden in that light
At my window seat
I watch the sun take it all away
My dreams are with the sun
My dreams are the sun
~Dawn Michelle (http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-dreams-are-the-sun/)



'Sun that never sets'

i see a sun that never sets,
that enlighten inner quest,
by transcending hearts gate
to overcome lives fade

i see a sun that never sets,
burns stoically for the rest
to help achieve forbidden glory
of those lives gloomy

i see a sun that never sets,
for millions pride sake
breaking law of nature
like a rebel dares death

i see a sun that never sets
and he is a man on mission
with sublime noble reason
to fight human discrimination

i see a man surmount a sun
brilliant high in the sky
nevertheless refusing to lie
unlike a sun that sets everyday

truly Ambedkar, a dalit icon
is the only sun, dalits reckon
and world shall not witness
any other sun that never sets
~Rahul Gade (http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dr-ambed ... ever-sets/)



'Axis'

Through the conduits of blood
my body in your body
spring of night
my tongue of sun in your forest
your body a kneading trough
I red wheat
Through conduits of bone
I night I water
I forest that moves forward
I tongue
I body
I sun-bone
Through the conduits of night
spring of bodies
You night of wheat
you forest in the sun
you waiting water
you kneading trough of bones
Through the conduits of sun
my night in your night
my sun in your sun
my wheat in your kneading trough
your forest in my tongue
Through the conduits of the body
water in the night
your body in my body
Spring of bones
Spring of suns
~Octavio Paz (http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/axis-3/)



'Nature's Hymn to the Deity'
All nature owns with one accord
The great and universal Lord:
The sun proclaims him through the day,
The moon when daylight drops away,
The very darkness smiles to wear
The stars that show us God is there,
On moonlight seas soft gleams the sky
And "God is with us" waves reply.

Winds breathe from God's abode "we come,"
Storms louder own God is their home,
And thunder yet with louder call,
Sounds "God is mightiest over all";
Till earth right loath the proof to miss
Echoes triumphantly "He is,"
And air and ocean makes reply,
God reigns on earth, in air and sky.

All nature owns with one accord
The great and universal Lord:
Insect and bird and tree and flower--
The witnesses of every hour--
Are pregnant with his prophesy
And "God is with us" all reply.
The first link in the mighty plan
Is still--and all upbraideth man.
~John Clare (http://allpoetry.com/poem/8465375-Natur ... John_Clare)



'Our A'isha'
The heat of day devours
with fire-bolts of thirst.
While palmed oasis waters
of virgin desert daughters
are bowing to the powers
of light that was coerced.
The heat of day devours
with fire-bolts of thirst.

A demon whispered puzzles
of golden leafy verse,
in five decrees so pearly
that gripped his will so surely,
their rutty iron muzzles
expand the human curse.
A demon whispered puzzles
of golden leafy verse.

Eleven wives he married,
he took one nine years old.
The prophet being holy
submitted, oh so lowly
as revelations varied,
to flesh he bought and sold.
Eleven wives he married,
he took one nine years old.

A’isha cries forever
through timeless bloody beds
about her mutilation,
her gruesome copulation,
that rips and tears to sever
flesh hearts from sheepish heads.
A’isha cries forever
through timeless bloody beds.

Our spirits heed Her calling.
We rally to Her side.
The prophet’s near undoing,
A’isha's bitter wooing,
amidst the hoards now falling
declare Our Lady's pride.
Our spirits heed Her calling.
We rally to Her side.

The heat of day devours
with fire-bolts of thirst.
While palmed oasis waters
of virgin desert daughters
are bowing to the powers
of light that was coerced.
The heat of day devours
with fire-bolts of thirst.
~Sultan (http://allpoetry.com/poem/3583722-Our_Aisha-by-sultan)

A short excerpt is attached at the end of the tome; a recent addition by the translator/restorer.

'Utu: The Unbalanced God of Sun, dwelled with the Untheric Pantheon in Zigguraxus. Arriving in the cosmos of Toril upon the Galley of the Gods, Utu became the morninglord for Mulan people; former slaves of the Imaskaran nobles. His avatar was that of a human male, bathed in golden light. This light died out during the Orcgate Wars when Utu was slain by an orcish deity, along with several others of the Untheric Pantheon. This happened in -1071DR (Dale Reckoning): The Age of Humanity / 1033MC (Mulhorand Calendar). His body was laid to rest in a God-tomb in Unther. Zigguraxus vanished from Toril's cosmology in 1358DR / 3426MC, after the Untheric Pantheon was dissolved with the deaths of Gilgeam and Ramman.'
