How to remember things, how to pass on knowledge from one generation to the next ? How to leave instructions that only a chosen few will understand ? How to tell a secret, the biggest secret ever, to a future so far distant that the number of years becomes meaningless ?
Some cultures use books, written on paper, but they only lasts a few thousand years at best. Paper is eaten by mould and worms, it yellows with age. Even language alters so much, that future generations lack the skill to read the books. The problem is quite daunting, once you realise it is a problem.
Below the Temple of the Flame, deep below Mendera City, the holy city. There is a library of sorts, forbidden knowledge etched onto sheets of incorruptible metal. Forbidden because it comes from multiverses long gone, from worlds that no one remembers. Even immortals die when the entire multiverse end, only the eternals survive…. And anyone lucky enough to reside on Mendera or the 1st rift.
Even so, the metal books of Mendera are only ever read by a select few. Forbidden knowledge, by its very nature, can only ever be available to a chosen few. Mostly the knowledge held in the secret library, just gathers dust, rarely if ever looked at. Not the place to entrust with a secret so huge that………..
One of the metal tablets on Mendera talks of the Wastes of Eternity, terrible places outside of the multiverse. Areas of chaos where even Gods have been known to boil away into oblivion. Impossible of course, but a secret uttered there might, just might be heard by the distant future……..
