# The Chronicles of the First Age
## Overview
The Chronicles are among the oldest surviving historical texts in Ashenveil.
Unfortunately, only scattered fragments remain.
Entire chapters disappeared centuries ago.
Scholars disagree whether the missing pages were destroyed—or deliberately removed.

## Contents
Creation myths.
The earliest kingdoms.
The rise of giants.
The first cities.
Ancient wars.
Unknown civilizations.
---
## Reliability
Modern historians consider the Chronicles a mixture of history, mythology, and political propaganda.
Separating fact from fiction remains difficult.
---
## Missing Volumes
Several books are completely absent.
References within surviving chapters suggest they once described events no longer remembered anywhere else.
---
## Famous Passage
"Civilizations rise.
Civilizations fall.
The earth remembers both."
