UP : Britannia
Many years ago, long before Minoc
was established as a true city, one woman dared to map the
northlands of Britannia.
Brialla of the Seven Tears (one of the
elder monk orders, which would eventually be the cornerstone
of Empath
Abbey) was a woman of undeniable strength of spirit.
Each member of Her order was required to commit to a personal quest for
knowledge.
She chose to map the unknown darklands of northern Britannia.
Without shoes and clad in only the brown robes of her order she
charted, recorded, illustrated, and kept an invaluable journal of her travels.
It was she, in fact, who first discovered the rich mineral deposits in
the mountains by Minoc.
Every year, on this date, we celebrate her journey by donning the robes
of simplest brown, and walking, barefoot to the town of Minoc.
Once there, all followers should celebrate, discuss their memories of
Brialla, and create new stories based upon her legend.
