Mission, Vision, and Values
The Cendomvita Mandate
These Collected Archives are born of an ongoing traversal through the historical records of Cendomvita and the Great Archives of Maadigan’s Royal University. My mandate as a scholar is to translate manuscripts from across our borders, reaching into the intricate and often perilous world of Thalevir. These translations offer a rare window into the Thalevirian people. Within these records, one finds the full spectrum of the human condition, from the depraved to the sublime, a mirror to both my world and yours. As a historian, I forgo editorializing. My goal is to present the truest representation of these histories possible within the bounds of my language and craft.
My Mission: Bridging the Chasm between Worlds
I serve as a bridge between the sprawling histories of Thalevir and the world beyond. In Cendomvita, our history was a living, breathing thing, often tucked away in the shadows of the Great Archives. My goal is to bring those narratives into the light for a new audience. In addition to these ancient manuscripts, I seek out and edit neglected works from your world and others. By doing so, I ensure the wisdom of the “beyond” remains anchored in time.
The Vision: A Universal Library
I envision a future where the literature of Thalevir serves as a beacon for empathy across all borders. My vision is to build a universal library where the “Great Archives” are accessible to everyone. In doing so, we find the common threads that bind all sentient beings together. Whether I am translating an epic from Thalevir or editing a forgotten manuscript from Earth, I maintain a singular goal: to elevate the written word as the ultimate vessel for truth.
Core Values of the Scholar
As a scholar and author, I operate under a strict code of ethics derived from the Cendomvita tradition:
Unwavering Integrity: For instance, I perform every translation with a commitment to the original author’s intent, ensuring that no nuance of Thalevirian culture is lost.
Cultural Preservation: I believe that stories are the heartbeat of a civilization; therefore, I treat preserving them as a sacred duty.
Intellectual Discovery: Finally, I maintain a relentless passion for history by constantly seeking out hidden manuscripts that challenge our perception of reality.
