The Elven faith is called Etalonism, but Elves never call it that. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info elves believe that what is recorded in their classics is not absurd stories, but the true truth of the world. The early preacher Idliel preached among the elves about divine revelation and ancient allusions, which were compiled into the Code of Etalon, which means word from God.

The doctrine is roughly that the only God created the world, but the "created" were alienated from God. Questioning and rebelling against God's spirit, he chose to come into this world. Most of the terms are created and so the doctrine here can be interpreted as all the life of Midangele. Perhaps it was to unite the elves who had previously had many races, and the book was worded like this.

The spirit of the created gave birth to the Seven Holy Spirits: Justice, Loyalty, Logic, Strength, Love, Fate, and Death, as well as the Seven Demons: Desire, Betrayal, Madness, Slavery, Curse, Chaos, and Destruction.

The genre is mostly a record of Idelier's conversations with others, and the length is divided into the past, the present, and the prophecy. Except for the chapter on the deceased, each paragraph can roughly show the logical relationship of proposition, dialectic, and conclusion. The form of dialogue may be only a form of style, and many scenes may not have existed. But this way of recording is a good reflection of the philosophical concept. Neither the gods nor the heroes of prehistory are the focus.

The Deaths chapter is mostly a monologue of storytelling, which recounts the major events since the creation of the world. One of the largest narratives is an epic war, in which the side called the Lamb fights against a force called the dragon, and in the end the war burns up all the flowers of prehistoric civilization, and even the earth rises the ocean to calm the war and isolates the two sides. The western land is called Midangael, and the eastern part is called Midan Mogul. There are many other anecdotes that have been recorded, and there is no shortage of stories of heroes who disobey the gods and discord, and Idriel does not evaluate them. The elves often do not delve into the rights and wrongs of these deeds, but human theologians think deeply about these stories and want to summarize the secret admonitions between the lines. Many of the stories anthropologists have different interpretations, and the commentaries add up to several times thicker than the original Codex, and the numbers are constantly increasing.

The present chapter is about Idelier and others discussing the state and society. It attacks injustice and immorality, explains what justice is, and the necessity of it. It depicts a state scenario that is decidedly moralized, but the more beautiful it is, the more it feels like a satire. In addition to metaphysical thought, it also explores specific social rules, as well as the connection between institutions and morality, providing basic guidance for the social formation of elves.

The content of the Prophecy begins to be difficult to understand, and Idelier says that life never dies, like a phoenix being reborn from the ashes. Before the body dies, the created person looks through his short life. Later life will sublimate into an elusive spirit body, and the heavy flesh will be abandoned and replaced by a body made of light. But most of the creatures are lost in this new world of awareness, as helpless as a baby has just been born.

Someone asked Idlil: The end of confronting God is death, can God end our lives?

Idliel said: Yes, God can end our lives.

So how many sinners has God put to death so far?

No one has died in the wrath of God so far.

The Code of Etalon established the elves' morals, worldview, and even values. As a result, the elves are thin on worldly desires and turn to the wisdom (g?l) side of exploration. The word G?L in the Elvian language refers to all the knowledge in the world, the key to solving all the problems in the world. Not only philosophy, but also mathematics, magic, and law are also in its domain.

The Code of Etalon was originally written down by an insightful listener and processed into a book by the literary work of others. There are many other documents about Idril that are more detailed, collectively known as Acts. However, there is often a high degree of personal bias, and the records are too one-sided to be included in the Etalon Code.

Although he left behind a valuable legacy, Idliel himself never wrote a single word. During his 200 years of mission, Idelier gave detailed explanations and instructions to the locals, not in strict detail, but not in strict terms of the law, but in practical and concrete help. For example, to cure the stubborn illness of the painful patient, or to help the doubtful philosopher to solve the pain in his heart.

Sometimes there were too many people to ask for help, and Idelier often stayed up all night. When he hears of affliction, he sets out, and when he learns that there is sorrow, he sends comfort. Those who cared about him warned him that there would be nothing in return for doing so, but all he received was a smile from Idlil. The news of his death from exhaustion during the final treatment of a paralyzed patient shook the land of Midangele.

So it is not myths and legends that unite the elves, but the spirit of Idelier.
