/// This is interesting. Not only did Joy exist (of course, because Joy is God),
but there was a Path to it before Time.
Hrestol was absolutely 100% the first to experience Joy in the particularly
fulsome manner described in the sources ; this does not mean that Joy could
not be experienced before Hrestol.
/// Of course, and One who did experience it was Old Malkion himself...
And, within recorded history and heroquesting--that is, since the Dawn, he
is the first to access it and bring back the methods to others. The fact that
this happened after the Dawn is proof it is not an original creation of his, but
has some other spiritual origin.
/// This I don't understand. How does "the fact it happened after the Dawn"
proves that it is a Higher Power and not "a clever spell wrought by a clever but
deluded man" ?
