<p>What is the difference between elcari and murtani? I gather they are
enemies, but where does that enmity come from? Are the blasted ktuvoks
behind this, too? :)


<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>We have only legends of this time.  The Count of Years speaks of
the Fall of the Elcari-- that is, their descent into sin.  The sin
was idolatry: a leader, Kharagh, convinced the elcari to make and worship
a statue of their god, Khemthu-N&ocirc;r.  The statue turned out to
have the features of Kharagh himself, and he is said to have descended
into madness, first declaring that Khemthu-N&ocirc;r did not exist
(and demanding to be worshipped in his place), and then that none but
he existed-- the elcari and the rest of the world were only creations of
his imagination.  

<p>(This story reflects, at the least, the Cuzeians' estimation of the 
besetting sin of the elcari-- self-absorption.  Cooped up in their 
mountain kingdoms, they often act as if the rest of Almea doesn't exist.)

<p>I&aacute;inos scattered the elcari across the world for this sin.  
But some of them had grown accustomed to fashioning idols, and instead
of worshipping Kharagh adored totems of malignant power.  These became
the murtani.  The Count of Years does not blame this on the ktuvoki,
but on Amn&auml;i, the Opponent of I&aacute;inos.
