Part One - Infans
Long before Romans made this land their Province, its forests, lakes, plains, and
mountains were home to men who fashioned tools of stone and ate roots, wild seeds, and
small creatures of the bogs. The early folk feared the spirits bound in brooding rock,
lurking in shadows of great oaks, leaping in hares, bears, great stags, and wild bulls.
Somewhere in the vast sweep of years they began to generalize their awe, and to
understand the underlying unities among stones, bears, stags, and summer thunder. They
called such universal spirits gods. Ma meant "breast," and also "Goddess." "Man" meant
the folk of Ma. In such ancient syllables lie the beginnings of wisdom, the capacity for
awe and worship, the great reality sensed only dimly, never proven, that we call Faith.
This is a tale of a daughter of the land, a child of Ma.
Otho, Bishop of Nemausus
