Earth-Sod-Blen There have been three civilizations here on earth. Presently, our society is at the end of the third civilization. What we all now call earth was once Earth-Sod-Blen. The name Earth-Sod-Blen is derived from three aspects of our planet. The first aspect is, of course, the earth, or our planet. The second is Sod, which is the ground that is floating on the water. The third is Blen. Blen is the most important of the three and is the harmonious blending of all the many beings of our planet living together in peace and harmony with all. This tale takes place at the end of the dark ages of the civilization, at a time before the continents separated and when the highest number of different symbiont beings walked the sod of the earth. There were a multitude of different cultures and races: elves, dwarfs, centaurs, hu-man, fairies, Aqua-Airians, tribal trolls, clan trolls, and the last remaining dragon. The Chronicles foretold of a great hero who would help rebuild the trust between all beings and bring peace to all. Perhaps the telling of this tale will help to bring peace to our world today.
