Oasis exists. I know it does, though I myself have never seen it. But anyone who pays heed to tales of immortals in caves of light is a fool.

Lore of the Storytellers

There’s a series, called the Longlight Legacy. It’s a trilogy, about a boy named Roan in a post-apocolyptic world, after his society, his whole family, is killed by unknowns. Soon after, he gets found, and the rest of the book is him discovering all these other societies, the dangers they all bring, and how he fits into it.

At the beginning of each chapter, there’s a quote from one of four different books, the Lore of the Storytellers, Orin’s History of the Friend, the War Chronicles, and the History of Longlight. And these each intrigued me, but the Lore of the Storytellers intrigued me the most. The Storytellers are people who go around to each of the different communities and tell stories, stories that plant seeds into the people, getting them to question the lies of the City, get them asking why, and that really interested me.

So, I’ve decided to do an analysis series on this blog to delveinto their lore, piece together their beliefs, as this book as some belief orientations, and find how this translates to us. As far as I’ve read, these are just bits to get you ready for the chapter, but they seem to tell a larger story (they are, after all, part of a seperate “book”), and I think it would be fun to discover what that is!
