The Qupi Chapters

In honour of the saviour of Jan

Our lord Gerumequpi the Wise

Seven hundred years ago a dark age fell upon our country of Agrijan – the homeland of all Janic people.

What was once described as a heaven on earth by our ancient kings was now under attack by the wretched Flosians who sought to destroy our proud culture.

The Flosians were cruel and did not honour our native religion.

They burned our temples and erected orthodox churches in the place of our gods.

The Janic people no longer had faith in the gods – they had forsaken us in our efforts against the Flosians.

In the heat of the battle, it seemed as though all was lost for the Janic tribes, though one man, Gerumequpi the wise assembled a small army and charged against the Flosians.

Under the command of Gerumequpi, the Janic army held off the Flosians for two weeks.

Blood was shed, lives were lost, screams and cries of agonising pain could be heard from all corners of the battlefield.

Day and night, our Janic tribes fought mercilessly to hold off the Flosians.

When it became clear that he could no longer sustain the holy battle, Gerumequpi proclaimed that all Janic tribes were to migrate west, away from the Flosians to settle new lands.

Determined to allow the spirit of Jan to live on, Gerumequpi and his brave apostles fought on for two weeks, enduring pain, hardship and struggle.

After the Janic tribes had begun to migrate, Gerumequpi knew he had completed his role. Gerumequpi sacrificed his life for the survival of the Janic nations.

After the death of Gerumequpi on the 21st day of the month of the sun (21st October), the Janic people realised that he was a prophet of the gods – sent to spare us from Flosian tyranny.

For as long as the Janic tribes exist, Gerumequpi will be worshipped and honoured for his noble sacrifice.

Prayer to Gerumequpi the Wise:

Lord and Saviour of Jan, Gerumequpi the Wise

Bestow upon me the power to sustain the life of the Janic people

Bestow upon me the power to call upon the might of the Gods

Grant me your strength and wisdom on the battlefield

Grant me your golden sword of wisdom and prosperity

Hail to you, Gerumequpi the wise, saviour of Jan.
