| − | And so began the greatest scholarly conflict in recent memory. This single sentence, poorly spelled, but mercifully free of green-grocer's apostrophe's, sparked debate among everyone from the most respected [[Hive-Lord]] to the simplest nincompoops when it was first decoded. And with this sentence, the '''Djiknaz Creation Manuscripts''' have risen from an obscure account of [[Creator|creation legends]] to the very epicenter of a scholarly ghyllquake. To date, more than 38 articles have been published in [[Quester and Phorrus]] concerning the manuscripts.

| − | The documents themselves were written by an unknown (and rather guilt-stricken, judging from the amount of material on the [[Looliers]]) [[Exingian]] scribe in approximately -320[[EC]]. The manuscript is comprised of about thirty pages of handwritten parchment, including two title pages and one page entirely written over with a phrase that translates to "Hello, world." Since the scholars of the [[Bureau of Forgotten Knowledge]] have proven that each instance of this phrase was written with a different quill, many currently believe that this page was just used for testing nibs.

Thereupon, he turned the papers over to the0 regular pool of scholars and thought nothing of it until the [[Folktown Records]] published the headline "Djiknax Creation Hides Your Destruction: Teh huor of dooom is upon us all!" and Rancticirchiretic nearly choked on his breakfast. It turned out that a couple of interns from [[Bute University]] had decided to try [[Ibann Malmiz|Ser Malmiz's]] [[Clamorxian Decoding Method]] on the manuscript as a lark, and had discovered the fateful sentence that was to mark scholarly history.
