Dec. 1869
Once a long time ago, the Andersweltlers relationship among ourselves was much the same as the relationship we hold with the humans to date. We were at war with ourselves, the winged Anders, feline Anders, and generals constantly vying with one another for supremacy. Each nation believed they were the superlative race. In simpler times, believing in our own authority was harmless, as the races were cleanly divided into the Trinations: Shreid was a tribal nation, Alarain resembled the human's Norse culture with regional elected governors who reported to an elected leader, and Plaphyclen was ruled by a dual-monarchy.  Shried was home to the feline Andersweltlers, Alarain to the winged Andersweltlers, and Plaphyclen was where the general Andersweltlers lived, even though they were divided into the North and South governing factions. 

The simpler times quickly succumbed to shadows, after one unfortunate misunderstanding. It didn’t take much to bring us down. Our vanity gave rise to the cause of our own demise. I'm writing this now because my life is coming to an end, and I fear after me, there will be none left who remember the truth of our origins.  Perhaps one day, these pages will fall into the hands of our decedents, and bring about a time of true understanding, acceptance and equality.  I only wish this world was ready for that day to become reality.  That is all I have for now.  I will write more tomorrow.  There is so much to tell that it cannot be done in one night.
