Early Moorland example of a "Chronicle of Instants"
It is perhaps misleading to describe these as 'chronicles'; widespread during the pre-Decline era, these vivid, often amusing texts — combining words, music and theatre — generally described events which occurred simultaneously or perpetually, rather than a linear narrative.
Chronicles recovered from all parts of the planet share a similar tone and visual language, sometimes with entire passages reproduced verbatim in different artefacts. Individual and regional variations notwithstanding, the same kinds of tale recur across the chronicles: moments of improbable and humorously unfortunate happenstance; humiliation of the vain and inconsiderate; ornate, overflowing recollections of complex parallel natural events.
This short folio, discovered in one of the large settlements on the Lye Northern Plain, mostly revolves around standard reciprocal images of nature (rivers in communion with trees, with the wind, with moons... etc). A few sections detail a visit from nomadic performers, descriptions of a jumping festival, and adaptations of jokes and stories from the southern hemisphere.
