Silverreach Elders

The Silverreach Elders were a group of leaders and scholars in the first century who recorded contemporary accounts of First Era history in The Silverreach Recollections. They likely worked at some form of academic institution in Silverreach, though no establishment is ever named.

Named Silverreach Elders
Some of the Elders made notes in the pages of the preserved copies, and those who did so frequently would often leave a signature, some a full name, some just a letter. Other unnamed individuals have been discovered through handwriting analysis.

First-Generation Elders
These are the Elders who began the project, and they are the most well known and revered.

Sorus - The most prolific Elder, and the most revered to this day, especially in Gahlal. He made over 400 notes in the various copies, and likely recorded a large number of the earliest accounts.

Osha - Another especially prolific Elder, Osha is notable for her insistence on the Ra'khemian Splintering being caused by local spirits or gods, who had commanded their followers to turn against each other.

Rammeh - Though he was the only other First-Generation Elder to sign a name, Rammeh's influence on the Recollections was clearly much less than either Sorus' or Osha's

J - Notable for their attention to those who regarded the Ra'khemian civilization to be nothing more than a myth.

W - A notoriously biased Elder, W was intent on blaming as much of the evil of the last millennia on a locally revered mountain god who he believed was deeply evil.

Later Generation Elders
These elders mostly added to notes by first generation elders and rarely recorded original notes, though they added prolifically to the content of the collections.

Aram - Notable for his strong opposition to Osha's position on the Splintering. He believed that the Splintering was not the doing of many local spirits, but of a single Divine Will which was punishing the Ra'khem for violating an agreement he made with them at the Proclamation. Aram did not know what the contents of the Proclamation at this point, but the oral traditions of some monotheistic areas at the time held that the Proclamation represented some form of covenant with the Divine Will.
