A Letter to the Clerics:
The Divine One's Design

Beloved brothers and sisters,

I hope this letter finds you well. I have taken to the Observatum, a grand tower built to better observe the heavens. From here, I have spent many nights studying the stars and pondering the nature of our world. Why did the Divine One create Eltheran? What was its purpose? And why was it not created directly by the Divine One? Why use the Archai Eldan'dux? I believe the answer can be found in the divine relationship between the Divine One and the Archai Eldan'dux.

The Divine One, in its infinite wisdom, chose to create Eltheran through the Archai Eldan'dux for several reasons. First, it allowed the Divine One to remain transcendent, beyond the limitations of the material world. By entrusting the creation to the Archai Eldan'dux, the Divine One maintained its position as the ultimate source of all existence, while still being intimately involved in the process.

Second, the use of the Archai Eldan'dux allowed for a more diverse and nuanced creation. Each of the Archai Eldan'dux possessed unique skills and perspectives, contributing their own talents to the formation of Eltheran. This resulted in a world of breathtaking beauty and complexity, a testament to the collaborative power of the divine.

Third, the act of creation served as a way for the Archai Eldan'dux to express their devotion to the Divine One. Through their tireless efforts, they demonstrated their love and commitment, shaping the raw chaos into a masterpiece that reflected the Divine One's glory.

Finally, the creation of Eltheran through the Archai Eldan'dux established a precedent for stewardship and partnership. The Archai Eldan'dux, in their role as creators, became the first caretakers of Eltheran, nurturing and guiding the world they had shaped. This established a model for the relationship between the divine and the mortal, a relationship built on love, respect, and shared responsibility.

In essence, the Divine One's decision to use the Archai Eldan'dux was a stroke of divine genius. It allowed for a transcendent creation, a diverse and nuanced world, an expression of devotion, and a precedent for stewardship.

I hope this letter has shed some light on the Divine One's motives and the profound significance of the Archai Eldan'dux's role in the creation of Eltheran. As we continue our journey of faith, let us remember the collaborative spirit of the divine and strive to be worthy stewards of the magnificent world we have inherited.

With unwavering faith and devotion, I remain,

Your humble servant and brother,

Aethelred, High Priest
