＜STORY＞
In the early days of man's existence
There were three evil brother deities.

The eldest brother, Death, the younger brother, Salween, and the youngest sister, Sherach.

They led a band of fearsome monsters
They led their fearsome monsters against Errol, King of the Gods, and against the mortals.

It was a fierce battle!

Death and Shelach succumbed to the power of Erol and the gods and finally surrendered.

But Salween would not stop fighting.

Errol created ten gems of power to contain Salween.
Errol created 10 gems of power and gave them to a hero of the mortals' choosing.
That warrior, Mirza, did his job and sealed Salween away.
He too lost his life, but his name and the story of the gems remain legendary.
