| + | Ciochini Cuisi was a young [[Matis]] from a good family. When he didn't have to attend to the lessons given to all young Matis of his age, he liked to stroll through gorgeous [[Yrkanis]], the capital of Matis. And like the others, he dreamed of far-off lands with more passion than he showed in learning his lessons. His dream, however, was not to become an explorer delving through lands empty of homin presence. No, the dream of Ciochini was to become a famous historian like the chronicler [[Erlan]], of whom he had read all writings. The young Matis loved his people, even more then most Matis did. This love for his fellows was extended to the history of the forest people, and he wanted to know every little detail of the days and years that passed. All the way from the first tales of the Matis up to the actual reign of [[King Yrkanis]], through the tragedy of the [[History#2481_:_The_Great_Swarming|Great Swarming]] and the [[History#2481_-_2483_:_The_Kitin_War|Kitin War]]… | ||
| − | To satisfy his thirst for history young Ciochini often visited his grandmother Miarni Cuisi. The elder Matis had experienced the Kitin War as well as the historical crossing of the Prime Roots. Each wrinkle and crevasse in her face told its own story, with each being more fascinating to than the next. With each story Ciochini learned a new facet of the history of his people. Of course his grandmother was not a historian, as she did not know everything, and her tales were often embellished by time. But she mastered some periods of the history with such a perfection that she was a better tutor than many a royal historian. And to add to that that, she never forgot to flavour her stories with some personal comments, totally subjective of course, and sometimes unimportant. Such was to be expected from an old Matis woman with such a resolute character… | + | To satisfy his thirst for history young Ciochini often visited his grandmother Miarni Cuisi.

“Ciochini Cuisi was a young Matis from a good family. When he didn't have to attend to the lessons given to all young Matis of his age, he liked to stroll through gorgeous Yrkanis, the capital of Matis. And like the others, he dreamed of far-off lands with more passion than he showed in learning his lessons. His dream, however, was not to become an explorer delving through lands empty of homin presence. No, the dream of Ciochini was to become a famous historian like the chronicler Erlan, of whom he had read all writings. The young Matis loved his people, even more then most Matis did. This love for his fellows was extended to the history of the forest people, and he wanted to know every little detail of the days and years that passed. All the way from the first tales of the Matis up to the actual reign of King Yrkanis, through the tragedy of the Great Swarming and the Kitin War…
To satisfy his thirst for history young Ciochini often visited his grandmother Miarni Cuisi. The elder Matis had experienced the Kitin War as well as the historical crossing of the Prime Roots. Each wrinkle and crevasse in her face told its own story, with each being more fascinating to than the next. With each story Ciochini learned a new facet of the history of his people. Of course his grandmother was not a historian, as she did not know everything, and her tales were often embellished by time. But she mastered some periods of the history with such a perfection that she was a better tutor than many a royal historian. And to add to that that, she never forgot to flavour her stories with some personal comments, totally subjective of course, and sometimes unimportant. Such was to be expected from an old Matis woman with such a resolute character…
This day, as he had no class with his private tutor, Ciochini walked with a firm stride to the magnificent town-tree that housed the apartment of his grandmother Miarni. The Tryker domestic of Miarni let the grand son in. Ciochini walked as usual to the office of his grandmother and entered without a second thought.
- "Ciochini, my child, I was just wondering when you would come to visit me again."
- “Hello grandmother,” answered the young Matis, “I must admit that I was missing you too… especially your stories.”
His grandmother chuckled. "Fortunately I still have some untold tales that will entice you to return. I fear that you would soon forget about me if I ever ran out. Soon I will have to invent some if I am to continue to enjoy your company.”

The grandchild sat down in the magnificent seat in front of the mother of his father. The Tryker domestic appeared and served them a plant infusion. The old woman took a cup and his grand son did the same.
- "I would like you to tell me about our King Aniro I, grandmother."
The Matis thought for a moment while her grandson concentrated on the content of his cup.
- “I do not have a lot of knowledge about his reign Ciochini,” she said. “But I will do my best.”
- “Aniro I was one of our first Kings. His reign began in 2295, a time of conflict between the homin civilisations, and ended in 2333. Easy to remember that date isn't it?
