2 For much of the
information on the history of Edil-Amarandh I am indebted to
Jacqueline Allison's wideranging study The Annaren
Scripts: History Rewritten (Cambridge: Cambridge
University Press, 1998)
3 Other major sources are
the History of Edil-Amarandh and its
Peoples, by Lanorgil of Pellinor (N307) and
The
Riddle of the Treesong, Maerad of Pellinor and
Cadvan of Lirigon, Library of Busk (N1012)
4 Lays of the Elidhu by the
Bard Jikarren, Afinil (A237)
5 History of Edil-Amarandh
and its Peoples, by Lanorgil of Pellinor (N307)
6 A fascinating and
authoritative study of Bardic scripts can be found in
Die
Urschrift von Annaren by Anschelm Juster
(Weinheim: Deutscher Studienverlag 1999)

Nothing by the Bard Nindar, Library of Busk

known of Bardic ideas of the afterlife, see chapters IV-VI
of Knowing the Light: Comparative Studies in
Annaren Spiritual Practice ed. Charles A. James

Dén Raven, see A Chronicle of the Black

complex societies of Edil-Amarandh can be found in

Saliman of Turbansk's poem cycle The Circle of
Living (N915)
12 The
Balance by Lilidh of Turbansk (N419) was considered
the most comprehensive articulation of this idea.
13 See Jérôme
Casson's pioneering study of the Speech, La Parole de
Edil-Amarandh (Paris: Union de Générale de
l'Edition, 1996)
14 Arguments raged between
Bards on the origin and power of the Speech for centuries:
however, the principal disagreements were best summarised by
Hulmir of Norloch (N367) in The Light of
Words, and A Discourse on Sacred
Names, and in a series of dialogues called
The
Skins of Speech by Salmira of Jerr-Niken (N456), reportedly
destroyed in the sack of Jerr-Niken. Subsequent commentaries
and partial copies which survived indicate she was the first
to authoritatively theorise the syntactical nature of the
Speech.

25 Paur
Libridha by Manianaë, King of Annar (N23) was
the most authoritative and influential text on the

that of the Magna Carta.
