Once upon a time, before humans existed, there was the Green Age, the time
of One Forest. All colors were green, so the mountaintop was Green White,
and its shoulders Green Yellow, and its skirt green green and green green.
When I was there I could pick up comfort and wrap it around me like a cloak
of soft, warm leaves. Wrapped in that love I was one, one of them who
danced to be alive, near senseless with bliss...
...but only near, and not near enough.
Even buried beneath six carefully layered cloaks of dream, before Her, my
deep and deep self woke, "Britha!" I gasped, and she smiled and all was
well and she said "forest,"
Forest, forest, forest said the dance all around me, delighted indeed to
have a name for us and we were, and the world said back Britha Britha
britha britha
Unheard, unechoed, unknown to me or the cosmos, the invisible consequences
sang also
It's the elves who sing that song now
I made it, before I knew what was or what making was
That's their first story
I imagine the goddess Britha was one of the most Tapped entities in
> Glorantha
that's another story of Brithos elves.
Zzabur high and great one spelled out the Tapping
He wrote it all down, even before his Blue Book
Jarnanargar was the one who manifest it
cruel wise man, like collecting maple syrup into a bucket
his magic sweet to humans
done once
and Zzabur high and great one crushed Jarnanargar
a smear on the ground, where the tapped grove stands, weeping
To tap is to destroy
The Wise Ones do not destroy
Zzabur High and Great did it only one time that's why they where thrown from the world you know: he broke his own rule

The aldryami barely recognize the importance of Talar making the compact
with them
The Brithini know it well, as it is one of the actions that initiated the
new Action
In it, the aldryami agreed to allow the Brithini remain
In short, look at
http://moondesignpublications.com//new/mythmapwestern.html
and see how big the Brithini lands are in their pre-tapping by Zzabur to destroy his nemesis.
