Sacred Texts of Akros

Compiled Cycle R35 — Rose, Vocabulary Architect

Historical Archive Notice: These are the canonical texts of the old Akros belief system — ancient faded history preserved as scripture. They are not active religious documents. They are kept here because they are (a) the source of much archaic vocabulary, (b) exemplary texts for the archaic register grammar, and (c) cultural memory that speakers of Akros may encounter in traditional ceremony and old storytelling. Read them as you would a classical text: as a record of what was believed, not what is practiced.

This is not a lesson. This is a collected scripture — the canonical mythological texts of Akros assembled in one place. Each text has been composed and attested across cycles R15–R34. They are presented here in their final authoritative forms as historical documents.

(The shapeshifter became like Situr — walking near toward the door.)

(3) Su matorim-as-los naviman-lot vel-lo solen oma.

(So the shades walked near-into toward the shapeshifter.)

(4) Nolimal-los venim oma — lomasel kasir oma.

(Nolimal came — she spoke the ancestor-prayer.)

(5) "Vel-ma malokir — sonam-ul-los vel. Sol-los naviman-lok. Tuk vel."

("Invocation of ancestors — the abstract-name is near. It is the shapeshifter. Do not near.")

(6) Matorim-as-los tusom oma vel — naviman-los situr-in-lok tuk oma.

(The shades stopped being near — the shapeshifter was not Situr-like.)

(7) Naviman-los kasir oma: "Kolu mai-los sonam — kolu mai-los lok?"

---

Sacred teaching: the lomasel prayer is the protection against naviman. When you speak to your dead by name, the shapeshifter cannot hold their form. The names of the living-dead are the oldest ward.
