Also important is the Quartos Toranis. This book is the oldest known of Toran's history, and it was started not by a [[paladin]] or [[cleric]] but by a wife. Lislette Amshon listened to her husband's stories about Toran and the men and women that followed him. She was moved to embroider some of them into a soft book. The high priest at the time heard of this after the book was almost twenty pages, and he called her to continue. For several hundred years, the book had been added to in this fashion. It was in the possession of Learning and Lore for some time when it vanished in 1206. Many efforts to find it ended in failure, and it was not until Loran Kor saw the mark of his god on him that he says he felt pushed to find it. He worked closely with Learning and Lore, and in a short year had managed to trace the steps of the book back to, of all things, a buried rabbit's burrow in [[Dalos Lake]]. The theory is that one of the persons working on the book left it near an open window, and an [[animal]] nipped it for use in a nest. Fortunately, the book has enchantments woven on every page to prevent decay, and very little was lost. Learning and Lore has taken on the task of filling in the missing centuries and the book is once again a work in progress. | Also important is the Quartos Toranis.

Cleansing of the Toranites<br /> | |||
In days long gone, there was once a time when the clergy of Toran seemed to become more careless and did no longer rout [[evil]] where they did find it. Toran saw this and wept. How could his followers no longer care, how could they have become so lazy that they no longer wanted to go from their cloisters to bring justice to the lands? Saddened as he was, Toran assumed the form of an old man and began to walk the lands. He first went to [[Katherian]] where he saw the corruption grow, and he saw his own followers pass through and even partake as if it were nothing out of the ordinary. Toran went up to them and asked them why they would let a thief run if he put a coin in their hands and they laughed as they showed him their heavy purses. What did it matter they said. Why should they stop him, could the mighty Toran himself not do it, they just wanted to relax and have a good time. | In days long gone, there was once a time when the clergy of Toran seemed to become more careless and did no longer rout [[evil]] where they did find it.
