His dilemma, however, stems from the fact that a written work may not properly represent a Tonawawta village that adheres to an oral tradition. Recalling the power of illustration, Pameka proposes the next book be one that incorporates different media to fully tell the tale within. With Zemoweni's materials from Xak Tural in hand, you set out to craft a binding worthy of his people's stories.

85,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_224","Of course. That was my intention from the very start. I feel more confident than ever in my letters, so I plan to read aloud from this gorgeous tome, as opposed to reciting a memorization."

97,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_307","A thousand thousand dawns ago, in the eastern reaches of Xak Tural, our ancestors lived upon a bountiful land. The soil was rich, and the wind carried with it seeds that flourished into healthy crops."
98,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_308","But one summer, a great serpent of cloud coiled above our lands. Beneath its swollen body fell the rain, so endless that it drowned our crops and threatened to starve our people."
99,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_309","“We must call for the sun!” someone cried. So our people lifted their prayers to the sky, that they might summon the mighty light. But the serpent heard their voices with anger, lashing out with its tail and driving an ever greater deluge down upon them."
100,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_310","With their fields turned to rivers, our people departed in search of the sun. Day after day they walked and walked, bearing their hunger and thirst until they could no longer... It was then they came upon a solitary cactus."
101,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_311","“Chasers of the sun, take me with you─I too seek brighter lands. For your hunger and thirst, I offer my fruit. In return, sow my seeds upon your path and partake of what they yield.”"
102,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_312","Our people sowed the seeds, and from them grew more and more cacti, each bearing fruit that gifted them strength."
103,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_313","For a thousand thousand nights, they pressed onward, westward. Planting the cacti and partaking of their fruit."
104,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_314","Finally, they reached a wide, wide land of sunlight. The cacti grew strong and plentiful beneath the golden rays and spoke to our people once more."

106,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_316","So it was that the cacti spoke the tongue of man no more. Yet our people would continue to care for them and honor them as irreplaceable companions."
107,"TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_317","It was there, alongside the bright sun and thriving cacti, that our people founded a village and lived in peace and comfort for a thousand thousand tomorrows to come..."

53 49 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_100_001 He hasn't said a word about his next commission, and I fear he may have given up on our bookmaking endeavor.
54 50 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_002 At first he seemed so excited about sharing the stories he heard at Xbalyav Ty'e. I wonder how his recitations there differ from our transcription sessions...
55 51 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_003 Care to take a walk with me, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>? I think I should like to see Zemoweni's performance for myself.
56 52 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_004 Very good. To Xbalyav Ty'e with us!
57 53 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_005 <sigh> I'd be halfway to Xbalyav Ty'e by now if I didn't need to close the stall... You go on ahead and see what Zemoweni's up to. I'll meet you there shortly.
58 54 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_100 Pameka, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>! Here for a drink, perhaps?
59 55 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_101 While that <Emphasis>does</Emphasis> sound splendid, we were actually hoping to hear one of your famous recitations.
60 56 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_102 Ah, then I'm afraid your timing is rather unfortunate... We usually wait until our seats have filled before having a tale, so not for some time yet.
61 57 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_103 Oh? That's a shame...
62 58 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_104 Then, what about your next commission? As soon as we know what sort of tales you plan to tell, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> can begin to assemble the necessary materials for your new tome's binding.
63 59 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_105 About that...
64 60 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_106 I-If you have no further tales you wish to share, far be it from me to insist!
65 61 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_107 Don't worry, I still have plenty to tell. The thing is...when I learned of your discoveries, I decided I wanted our next story to be something from my home.
66 62 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_108 Our tales are completely unknown to outsiders. Should our oral tradition ever reach its end, our hopes and history would vanish with it. Which is why I would preserve what I can with the written record.
67 63 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_109 That sounds like a wonderful idea. And yet you still seem conflicted...
68 64 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_110 My people neither read nor write. Would creating a <Emphasis>written</Emphasis> book of their stories truly be understanding and honoring their legacy?
69 65 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_111 When you put it that way... How might we properly convey the stories of a people unassociated with the written word?
70 66 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_Q1_000_000 What will you say?
71 67 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_A1_000_001 Let's make a book that can be read without words.
72 68 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_A1_000_002 Take a page from your great-grandfather's book, Pameka!
73 69 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_113 Of course! Written words are only one way to tell a story, after all. Illustrations can be just as effective.
74 70 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_114 And take a page we shall! I only just finished illustrating a book about the Yok Huy. You don't need to know our written alphabet to read a story from illustrations.
75 71 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_115 But we needn't stop there: what if we incorporated other materials into the book as well? Bird feathers and flowers...things that hearken to the setting and appeal to all the senses!
76 72 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_116 We'd need to devise a way to preserve the materials we choose─but once we do, our readers will be able to immerse themselves in the story without a reliance on the written word.
77 73 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_117 A book that appeals to all the senses... I think that might work!
78 74 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_118 I happen to have a few things you can use for the cover... And I can fetch more, if you'll give me a moment.
79 75 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_119 Then let us all reconvene back at my stall. Once you have components for our cover, deliver them to me, and we'll hear Zemoweni's tale!
80 76 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_120 Our next book will be about my people, so I'd like the cover to incorporate materials from my homeland. If you run out, I have plenty extra!
81 77 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_125 You've readied the components? Then let's speak to Pameka, and I'll begin my tale.
82 78 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_220 This time we need binding for a tome that will awe its readers' senses. Do you have something ready?
83 79 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_100_220 I... I'm speechless, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. These will make our finest cover yet, of that I have no doubt. Now, let us hear Zemoweni's story.
84 80 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_221 What an amazing tome you've made. Careful script and illustration...pieces of the natural world as they feature in my story... Reading this will be an unforgettable experience for anyone.
85 81 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_222 I can't wait to take this home and show my family. I'm sure they'll be proud to see our stories reflected in such art.
86 82 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_Q2_000_000 What will you say?
87 83 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_A2_000_001 You should perform it for all to enjoy.
88 84 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_A2_000_002 Can I come and hear you read it at Xbalyav Ty'e?
89 85 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_224 Of course. That was my intention from the very start. I feel more confident than ever in my letters, so I plan to read aloud from this gorgeous tome, as opposed to reciting a memorization.
90 86 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_225 In fact, I'd say our <If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),12))><If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),4))>evening<Else/>morning</If><Else/><If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),17))>afternoon<Else/>evening</If></If> regulars will be flooding into Xbalyav Ty'e soon enough.

91 87 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_226 That would be splendid, Zemoweni. We'll be right behind you!
92 88 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_230 I can't wait to see what Xbalyav Ty'e's customers think of Zemoweni's story! Go on ahead; I'll catch up shortly.
93 89 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_235 You're just in time! I've saved some room for you and Pameka over there. Relax and enjoy the show!
94 90 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_300 Can you hear that? People are telling all sorts of tales around us. A haven for storytellers indeed!
95 91 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_301 Many here are regulars, but everyone is welcoming of fresh faces. Just so long as you're hungry for new stories!
96 92 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PELUPELU04981_000_302 Hey, lad! Tell us a story, would you? A new one, if you've got it!
97 93 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_303 Right away! I've got just the thing for you─and I think you'll all enjoy it.
98 94 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_304 Ahem! <If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),12))><If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),4))>Tonight<Else/>Today</If><Else/><If(LessThan(PlayerParameter(11),17))>Today<Else/>Tonight</If></If>, I would like to share something personal with you all. Some of you may know that I come from a tradition of oral storytelling, and my people rely not upon the written word.
99 95 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_305 However, should our voices no longer echo in future generations, I fear our very history runs the risk of extinction. Thus did I commission the scrivener Pameka and traveling artisan <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/> with the creation of a book.
100 96 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_306 This is the story of my people. May it warm your heart like the sun upon the plains.
101 97 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_307 A thousand thousand dawns ago, in the eastern reaches of Xak Tural, our ancestors lived upon a bountiful land. The soil was rich, and the wind carried with it seeds that flourished into healthy crops.
102 98 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_308 But one summer, a great serpent of cloud coiled above our lands. Beneath its swollen body fell the rain, so endless that it drowned our crops and threatened to starve our people.
103 99 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_309 “We must call for the sun!” someone cried. So our people lifted their prayers to the sky, that they might summon the mighty light. But the serpent heard their voices with anger, lashing out with its tail and driving an ever greater deluge down upon them.
104 100 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_310 With their fields turned to rivers, our people departed in search of the sun. Day after day they walked and walked, bearing their hunger and thirst until they could no longer... It was then they came upon a solitary cactus.
105 101 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_311 “Chasers of the sun, take me with you─I too seek brighter lands. For your hunger and thirst, I offer my fruit. In return, sow my seeds upon your path and partake of what they yield.”
106 102 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_312 Our people sowed the seeds, and from them grew more and more cacti, each bearing fruit that gifted them strength.
107 103 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_313 For a thousand thousand nights, they pressed onward, westward. Planting the cacti and partaking of their fruit.
108 104 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_314 Finally, they reached a wide, wide land of sunlight. The cacti grew strong and plentiful beneath the golden rays and spoke to our people once more.
109 105 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_315 “You have our gratitude, children of man. This is the land we long dreamed of. Today, we revel in this radiant paradise. Tomorrow, we shall give up our voices, and live to nourish your progeny forevermore.”
110 106 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_316 So it was that the cacti spoke the tongue of man no more. Yet our people would continue to care for them and honor them as irreplaceable companions.
111 107 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_317 It was there, alongside the bright sun and thriving cacti, that our people founded a village and lived in peace and comfort for a thousand thousand tomorrows to come...
112 108 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_318 In our native tongue, “Tonawawta” means “sunchaser,” but there is no one reason as to why our people are so named.
113 109 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_319 The story you just heard is but one explanation─a tale passed down through generations in my village. But ask another Tonawawta, and you will hear another story.
114 110 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_320 I am not here to insist that ours is the definitive tale, but rather to say that in a small corner of this vast continent, there exists a people who believe it to be true.
115 111 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_321 It is my hope that our stories are remembered by many, and our words carried forward into the future.
116 112 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_322 ...Thank you.
117 113 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_323 Zemoweni's performance was a great success! The audience seemed to love every moment of it─as did I, of course!
118 114 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_325 What did you think? That's how we usually do our recitations─whoever has a story to tell stands up there and regales the room.
119 115 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_330 I caught Pameka on her way out. Seems she can't leave her stall unattended for long. But I assume she's waiting for you there.
120 116 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_ZEMOWENI_000_340 Thank you for everything, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>. I'm sure Pameka's waiting for you back at her stall.
121 117 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_400 Zemoweni's storytelling prowess is awe-inspiring, isn't it? He set the scene without flaw... I truly felt as though I was journeying along with those cacti!
122 118 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_401 Words are so peculiar, aren't they? When spoken from the soul, they can convey meaning that extends far beyond their written worth.
123 119 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_402 My experiences with you and Zemoweni have opened my eyes to the true duty of a scrivener. Going forward, I hope to capture what I hear with more sensitivity and deeper understanding.
124 120 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_403 It's not a matter of simply writing down words─it's about preserving the spirit with which they are spoken. Just like we did with our books.
125 121 TEXT_KINGLA207_04981_PAMEKA_000_404 My abilities have their limits, however. So for the tales I cannot bind alone...I hope I can count on you, <Split(<Highlight>ObjectParameter(1)</Highlight>, ,1)/>.
