98.1
Thus began a new age, with the birth of these children of stone, when great works began to be born from the diligence of others than Tildo and the ancients, other than Fäliyë or perhaps Lükasëli or Melëra.
98.2
First, the breakthrough time should have occurred in the creation of humans, but because they were put to sleep, the bud of the new times could not develop into the full bloom of the stormy time.
98.3
Turühlan'wanë'wani is the time when the calendar turns over, ending the times of old, called Wemelë'nonta'gasta'mondon, the Mythic Times.
98.4
That's what this book was about. And it would deserve a thousand times more pages, but alas - everything else is vague, recorded in songs or forgotten.
98.5
The time of the higher and lower breeds is coming, the magnificent time of the Naul Feofess, the time called Aygistoë'nonta'gasta'mondon, the Legendary Times.
98.6
Here ends our book of Myths, and in another book continues the discussion of the Legends, of the oldest of the heroes who came from the ranks of men and dwarves, for the former are mythical.

Tildo generation – Vasë and Alnë
Sons and daughters Tildo, Ladies and Lords of Naul; service to them; also the introduction of lesser deities
99.1
Twelve are Tildo, one supreme among them and one accursed who remains now banished.
99.2
In the times after their birth they begot their daughters and sons and gave them large and small parts of their dominions to rule with them. They bear name Vasë, Lords.
99.3
Their strength is comparable, but their mindsets are often different. The councils of Mirondë are in them, as well as the will of Tildo and the immeasurable age of Ivarinden.
99.4
But by no means all of them are as visible as Tildo, some even more, but many of them also less, so the Feofees forget about them, but it's not harmful.
99.5
And they do not die, just like Tildo, even if they live for a thousand of thousands years, but the end of the world will also consume them, as Aldo predicted.
99.6
Such is their burden, that they assist in the government, or rule entirely over their things, which they inherit from their Tildos, who were their parents or only one of them.
99.7
For the Vasë used to be born of only one father or one mother, and sometimes in connection with Lepostiriyon, or mountains, seas and lakes, or others.
99.8
It could also happen that their parent was single and produced his offspring without a suitable mate. Perhaps the will of Mirondë was with them in those moments.
99.9
It applies to all Vasë that they must have one parent who is called truefamed, and the other either does not exist or is called otherfamed. Because a given Vasë is always more connected to an element from one of his parents and then belongs to that truefamed element.
99.10
Because as Tildo came to understand Naul and its corners more deeply, they realized that the world is a great and immense work to manage. They then gladly passed on some estates to their children.
99.11
It was not difficult in those beginnings, for the Vasë were born with the star of prophecy in their hearts and the crown of blessed rule on their foreheads, because they themselves became part of the partial domains of Tildo and took them over with love. And indeed some estates were neglected and full of difficulties, hard to tame.
99.12
Alnë are then those who are considered lower than the gods, but all the more numerous. Lo, they are so numerous that no one knows how many are actually left.
99.13
They are also sons and daughters, but now the descendants of Vasë, and none of them have a father or mother from someone from Tildo. Some of them also had single parents.
99.14
And it is possible to say that they are the grandsons and granddaughters of Tildo, although that designation is not used.
99.15
They too have one truefamed parent and the other, if at all, otherfamed.
99.16
They are also called Spirits of the World.
99.17
Some of these Alnë were given small estates, others earned them by their actions. And it also happened, unlike Vasë, that they fought among themselves for those places on earth, and also bore the burden of suffering and humiliation, which Vasë avoided.
99.18
And one more quality makes the Alnë lesser gods, and that is their mortality - but it concerns rather a smaller number of them, and their death is usually the result of hardship, too powerful enemies and destructive spiritual influences. Most of the Alnë remain immortal.
99.19
Also, as will be narrated later, some of the Alnë took over the great government and phenomena, for which the Vasë, their parents, were no longer sufficient.
99.20
Or they forgot, or they were reluctant, and they lied, fought, humiliated, flattered and gave love, for even these Vasë do not avoid goodness, laziness, carelessness or self-indulgence.
99.21
For all this, it is good to tell about each of Vasë, perhaps just a mention, or perhaps a small story, or a custom that has been carried out in their honor since ancient times.
99.22
And how must one behave and act who wants to attract the attention of the great Lords and enjoy their favor.
99.23
On the other hand, in order to tell at least a hint of the rumor about Alnë of Naul, a new book would be needed, so here we will reveal only the descriptions of Vasë.
99.24
And lo! Each Tildo is famous and illustrious, even powerfully celebrated, but belief in these Tildo is exhausting and impractical.
99.25
May countless temples be dedicated to them and in them their servants humbly study and write down the truths of this world. But they receive little power for this, even though such servants have plenty of fame and admiration.
99.26
Compared to the Vasë or Alnë service, the Tildo service is extensive and all-consuming. And the reward is small. Therefore, since time immemorial, the servants and faithful of a given Tildo have gathered in an association, working together for the glory of their god.
99.27
He who sings about the solitude of Tildo's song, however sane, respectable, or brave, is seldom heard.
99.28
It is different with Vasë or Alnë. These are closer to life on Naul, which has always been the furrow of the field, the wheel of the chariot, and the stroke of the hammer on the anvil, rather than the composition of the destiny of the ages.
99.29
For each of Vasë, it is also necessary to mention with which services and gifts it is possible to please the various Lords, to please their souls, according to their mindset and essence.
99.30
For each Vasë, as well as for Tildo, a symbol is mentioned and shown, holy to their followers, unknown to the uninitiated.
99.31
And each of Vasë created these symbols for himself, because Mirondë's offices are dormant in him as well.
99.32
From those symbols, various Naul Feofees create bone, wood and metal symbols for themselves, often in the form of jewelry, plain and decorative, with which they protect themselves from adversity.
99.33
Such symbols could also be seen on the roofs of temples, above door frames and gates, on shields and in windows, or painted on chests, columns and tabernacles, roughly carved with straight strokes, or beautifully colored with subtle color transitions on a noble background.
99.34
It is difficult for a Feofee to recognize an order in crowd of Vasë and Alnë. At that moment, a priest or a servant of a deity must come to the rescue, who is well acquainted with the requests of the deities, the sacrifices that make them happy and also with the sins that make the deities bitter.
99.35
He then knows how to perform the ritual correctly, to please Vasë or Alnë, to ask for help or a blessing. He also knows which actions to refrain from, so that the uneducated Feofee does not call upon himself the wrath of the deities with his sinful actions.
