Acolyte

by Daravon Ragnar
As one progresses in the faith, there is an expectation of a deeper understanding of Sgrios; yet, while this can be dictated within a closed system, it is unfair to expect those who do not worship here to share our views. Daravon's piece, though it contains a myriad of speculation and antiquated information, is a wonderful glimpse into the layman's understanding of our faith. Being able to anticipate these fears makes it easier for the acolyte connect with those outside our shrine.
The Tuatha de Danaan, The Aosda and The Mag Mell
by Peppin Arinad
As a follower of Sgrios, you will likely face times in which you find your faith equated with evil, hatred and murder - but those who know history will see that Danaan's arrival in Temuair brought about Aoens of suffering; destruction from which we are living in the aftermath. Most don't have the courage to speak of how the Tuatha instigated the downfall of humanity, but Peppin comes close as she details their involvement in the drowning of Hy-Brasyl.

Unreliable Works
by Dryst Ravenshroud
A brief look at a number of amusing theories about Sgrios' appearance in our realm put forth by one of the most prolific historians of the early Aisling age - Dryst Ravenshroud. While the account of Sgrios once being a mortal man are laughable at best, the theories put forward in this work are ones we commonly hear, and this is likely the source of a lot of confusion among the Aislings of today.
