The Jezharidhe Epic is an original sci-fi/fantasy that's been stored in my head for quite some time. Here you may read some random notes.

In the beginning there was Chaos, an ever-changing expansion of probability, of creation and destruction. If Life existed in the infinite turbulence of Chaos, it could ever be but a flicker before it collapsed upon itself, for life could not exist without the structure of Order to uphold it. This inevitable collapse came to be called Entropy.

But within the realm of boundless possibility, Order did emerge from Chaos and Life was given breath in the form of the Celestial One, a being in which all Life could conceive. The complexities of the Celestial One were such that each facet of its myriad radiant dimensions constituted a whole entity in itself. This multitude was the Celestial Host. Strengthened by its power of Many in One, the Celestial One defeated Entropy, and filled the coalescing Void with an unwavering Light.

However, Individuality gave rise to Difference between the members of the Host, and Contradiction came into being. The crystalline structure of Order cracked, and the Celestial Host became divided against itself. The Host was torn asunder as the strongest of each Half and their regiments waged war for supremacy. The Celestial contenders were divided among the Divine and the Diabolical. The radiant, life-giving Light was the only remaining glory of Celestial perfection.

Aeons after the battle concluded with the defeat of the Diabolical forces, its repercussions were still felt. The leader of the Divine Host had sealed his fallen enemies within the Darkness. He had chosen the planet Thires as the boundary between the realms of Light and Darkness. The Light was the planet's Day, and Darkness was Night. Equally did the Divine share this world with the Diabolical.

The Divine Lord used the life-giving Light to make Thires an abundant planet. Lush, fruit-bearing trees, streams full of fish, and every sort of creature flowed forth from a central Garden known as Elchidaen. To tend the garden, the Divine One also created lesser beings, each complimentary to the other, named Adhaim and Ririsu.

However, the flaw that diverged the Celestial Host yet found its reflection within the Lord's creation as well. After bearing generations of Adhaim's children Ririsu grew weary of her dull husband, and of being a slave in the garden. She sought the freedom to come and go as the Divine ones did. She sought the power to wield magic as a tool. She wanted to see her children enjoy the same privileges as her masters. Eventually she hid her children, the Dedaig, from the sight of the Lord and fled to Satan's side in the realm of shadows to become the mother of demons. Many Dedaig escaped from Elchidaen, following the flow of life throughout Thires while others remained, secretly pursuing the forbidden teachings of Divine magic. The Dedaig became the keepers of great knowledge, and held the keys to the worlds of light and shadow, slipping unnoticed along pathways forgotten by those who would lock them out.

Adhaim became despondent at the loss of his mate, so the Lord created a new one for him, this time taking her from Adhaim's rib, so that she would be more docile. And so was born Efhe. She would become the mother of the Human race. As a test of the new couple's loyalty to him, the Lord set a tree in the garden, and forbade them to eat of its fruit. This request was simple enough, for Elchidaen already possessed sufficient bounty to nourish them and their children throughout eternity. Over time, however, the temptation to use this in order to play a petty and malicious trick on his rival became too much for the Diabolical Lord to resist. As naïve as she was, Efhe was easily manipulated into disobeying her Lord's command. The fruit, as it turned out, was as palatable as any other in the garden, and she in her turn persuaded her husband to join her. The Divine Lord was deeply aggrieved when he discovered what had happened, and so sealed away the garden in the realm of light, leaving his creations and their offspring behind to live on that which had stretched its roots into the soil beyond Elchidaen.

Though the cold air outside the garden obliged them to seek raiment, and cultivating the soil was at first a struggle, life was good for the human beings. But as centuries passed on, deprived of the divine essence that eternally renewed life in the garden, their bodies did harden and wither as age took its toll. Eventually Adhaim and his wife returned to the dust from which they came. Thus came about human history.

Sequence of events:
Birth of Eadh Girou

Imperial prince abdicates to Girou

Girou begins his ten-year reign, during which he systematically locates and eliminates corrupt government officials, leading eventually to his Jezaridhe "brother" Locios at the center of a conspiracy to overthrow the Empire.

Girou vanishes after after a duel with Locios.

Locios is executed after refusing to disclose the location of Girou during interrogation.

Locios is reborn to a family of Dedaig residents on Utsul.

Girou is discovered in the labyrinthine tunnels below Locios' estate encased in a tank of suspension amber, a resin which hardens to a crystalline consistency, preserving the life form therein in a state of suspended animation. A number of issues, including software incompatibilities, as well as misuse of the controversial suspension method, had led authorities to outlaw the amber tank. All known models were seized and disassembled, this being the only apparent exception. When the tank was set up in Locios' previous lifetime, he used an access code that was heretofore unretrievable.

Galadriel's story: Galadriel is born from a violent conception FATHER: Jaell MOTHER:? the DARK CHEMIST takes her in as wet-nurse for CHEMIST'S WIFE When the CHEMIST'S CHILD is weaned, MOTHER takes G. to live at the MONASTARY, and returns to her duties as a priestess/nun besides himself and MOTHER, only the ABBOTT knows the identity of Galadriel's father it is the church's policy that parents remain anonymous As Galadriel studies to become a priest/monk he befriends a young PRIESTESS/NUN

He eventually hears of the birth of his twin half-brothers to Empress Ieucasthe: Vikash the Dark, & Malaclypse the fair Like Galadriel, the blue-eyed Malaclypse grew to possess Jaell's gallic graces with blonde hair and handsome features While Vikash strikingly resembled Ieucasthe

Eight years later, an imperial decree is passed that all must witness the execution of the Empress on grounds of Adultery. The emperor pointed to Vikash's black hair and high cheekbones as evidence that the boy was not his son. Vikash was sentenced to die with his mother Galadriel looked on with concern from the throng Prince Malaclypse stood resolutely beside his brother Vikash who was white-faced with shock as Ieucasthe was thrown to the Shadow Beasts Galadriel could almost see the little boy's mind snap as his mother was torn to pieces And as Galadriel watched, Jaell granted his wife a twisted mercy "Taking" her soul, guiding the luminous essence to float before Vikash's nose before dispersing it Unable to bear any more, Galadriel turned away

Galadriel graduates from his studies to serve the church and teach at the MONASTARY One day, on an infrequent trip to the IMPERIAL CITY to purchase supplies, Galadriel in the company of a FRIEND was run down by a pale youth dressed in the livery of a knight's valet running through the streets as though being chased "And why is a little one like you in such a great hurry?" he asked Picking up the boy and dusting him off, Galadriel found himself face-to-face with Vikash The adolescent Vikash did not speak, but gazed steadily at Galadriel with an undiscernable expression As if he was waiting for Galadriel to say something but what it was he could not guess.
