Chapter Eleven "A society's Prophecy Keepers are one of its most important assets. They are the lay historians-the people's historians. Often it is they who hold the real truth of the matter-a "truth" that either gets much distorted in the ballads of the minstrels or buried under centuries of callous fact as it sits in dusty, unread tomes. In past times the Prophecy Keepers have been regarded with suspicion and even outright hostility. In the Dark Years of mankind's Middle History, many Prophecy Keepers were beaten and burned, and even educated historians were sometimes dealt with harshly. No one knows what first ignited the Culling, but it has been said that if the Prophecy Keepers had been men their plight would have been different." -Middle History: Prophecy Keepers; Thomas Thunn Sp
