Helias Helecarn

The Helias Helecarn is the greatest work of the 8th century historian and folklorist Mingas.

Its twelve volumes are a retelling of history and myth from the most ancient times of the mythic Godmen, combined with the later philosophy of Miyarris. Mingas used his knowledge of ancient languages to study a wide variety of material and historic texts, particularly the classic Helevosien. How much is directly from source material and how much his own invention is much debated by modern scholars.

Mingas intended the work both as an “instructive history”, but readers often emphasised the mystical nature of some of its writing, and the various prophecies of the Godmenplugin-autotooltip__small plugin-autotooltip_bigGodmen

The Godmen were the mythical inhabitants of a landmass contiguous with the modern Natorn Archipelago, said to be the ancestors of all the Thalsic peoples of the northern Civilised World. In the Emerald Epoch they created the first great civilisation, referred to as the Realm of the Godmen. The Godmen are said to be mytho-historic, memories of an ancestor race shrouded by millennia of HartheraAnrelAnrelherherAnrelAnrel. The prophecies in particular regularly occupy the attentions of cults and those of a more fevered imagination.
