== Text ==<br />
:More editorial than actual historical work, this book by Xakk, published in 1326 [[Mouvelian calendar|A.E.]], deconstructs the nature of the [[Six Human Gods|gods]] worshipped by [[human]]s.<br />
:{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''<br />
::Is it coincidence that they have been gone since the first [[Elder Dragon|dragon]] began to [[Dragonrise|stir]]? I think not. While they may not be gods, they are certainly not fools. The dragons would covet [[magic]] such as theirs.<br />
::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''<br />
:::These beings are benefactors—often reluctant, sometimes misguided, and occasionally vindictive. To say that they created our [[Tyria (world)|world]] is ridiculous.<br />
:::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''<br />
::::Did they bring humans to Tyria? I cannot argue against this. It is an ancient belief that has no proof to support or deny it. Perhaps humans are constructs created from clay and bone.<br />
::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''<br />
:::::Perhaps they were brought here from [[Human homeworld|somewhere else]] in [[the Mists]] or some other realm within the [[Eternal Alchemy]]. I think either of these is plausible, given the power wielded by these beings.<br />
:::::{{dialogue icon|more}} ''Read on.''<br />
::::::But, are they gods? I say no. They are what we would all become if given the amount of magical energy they possess and allowed to live as long as they appear to have.<br />
::::::{{dialogue icon|end}} ''Put it back.''<br />

== Notes ==<br />
* The book was originally credited to [[Gadd's Hologram|Gadd]], but the author was changed to Xakk (with the addition of the date 1326 AE) in a later patch due to a lore discrepancy regarding Gadd knowing about [[Elder Dragon]]s rising when he had died before [[Primordus]], the first Elder Dragon to rise, had begun to stir.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The mention of humans being constructs of clay and bone is a reference to multiple myths that say humans were made of clay by god(s).<br />
