'''Title: Goddess of Nujel'm '''

'''Author: Aurum Oakmoor '''

There once was a
peasant girl who lived
on the outskirts of
Nujel'm. Her father
was the only family
she had, and he was
what some thought of
as a mage or seer of
strange visions. Many
feared him, and for
this they feared too
his small daughter.
Yet, for many years
they found happiness
together as a loving
family.

A strange plague had
broken out across
Nujel'm, which, at
the time, was a far
darker place than the
Nujel'm of today.
This plague was
killing the livestock
on the isle. Many
citizens thought this
to be the work of
demons or evil spirits,
or possible magic.
Many thought the
strange magician and
his daughter were to
blame.
A group of locals
banded together and
stormed the small
villa where the old
mage and his daughter
lived. The mage
urged for his
daughter to flee,
asking the spirit of
the ancient Living
Goddess to protect her.
The child fled,
unharmed, into the unforgiving desert
night. In the distance
she heard her father
as he was slain by
the mob.

The young girl had
never travelled far
from her small home,
especially the expanse
of the desert.
Hours became days,
and the wind, sand
and heat tore into her
flesh. She became
weak, clinging onto
life. Her time was
near, this she was
certain of.
This was not to be,
however, as she
caught sight of
something... a silver
oasis in this distance.
Somehow she managed
to find the last
reserve of strength to
the oasis. Once there
she greedily drank
from the cool water. She then saw the
most amazing sight...
a beautiful, dark
skinned and silvery
haired woman emerge
from the oasis itself.

<blockquote>
"Who.. who ARE
you?" the child asked.
</blockquote><blockquote>
"I am the Living
Goddess, the Lady of
the Oasis," she replied,
her voice hypnotic and
sweet. "Your father's
last request was for
my hand to guide you,
and that I have."
The girl had heard of
the Living Goddess.
Ages ago she was,
according to legend,
the protector and very
essence of the magic
of Nujel'm. During
her rule, Nujel'm
itself had prospered
into a beacon of
brilliance on Sosaria.
</blockquote><blockquote>
"I have granted your
father's boon, and
saved your life. Yet,
Nujel'm and Sosaria
have grown dark in
my absence.." she said,
silvery tears welling
in her eyes. "I would
wish to give you one
final gift. The gift
of the Living
Goddess."
</blockquote>

The child mutely
nodded in agreement.
With that, the
woman merely kissed
the child on the
forehead. Magics
shook the foundation
of Nujel'm, and when
all was settled, no
sign of the oasis
existed. The child
found herself alone,
but with all the
memories and powers
of enchantment that
the Living Goddess
had.

Thus was born the
new Living Goddess,
ruler of Nujel'm. She
took the mantle of
'Silverbrook' in
homage to the very
oasis that saved her
life. Silverbrook took
up residence in the
Visiting House (as it
has come to be known)
and the Palace of
Nujel'm.

''This story is merely legend and hearsay, yet interesting and very possibly true (as much as a tale passed through generations can be). Since the Living Goddess' return, however, Nujel'm has once more become a shining example of hope, strength, and unity within the lands of Sosaria....''
