Archaic Museum verifies authenticity of Kundratijan Gem in Kalistan; launches new portal for the Yeudi Heritage

October 5591

Kaliburg, Kalistan - Earlier this morning, the Office of the Beiteynuese Ambassador to Kalistan in Kaliburg confirmed that the small delegation sent out by the Archaic Museum of Yishelem to an undisclosed location in Eveari, had verified the authenticity of the white Kundratijan Gem that was believed to be in the possession of Kalistan since earlier this year (transferred from Kundrati a few decades ago).

Although Kalistani officials and authorities alike had given the green light for the inspection in April, the extensive security measures put in place required a thorough vetting of the team of the historians who were sent out, which lasted almost the entirety of the summer. The Director of the museum, a liaison from the Agaf and the Beiteynuese Ambassador's Chief of Staff were all part of the vetting process.

The team - and mini-delegation - first met with the Empress in Kaliburg in an informal audience; of the topics discussed were the extensive modern history between Beiteynu and Kundrati (in an attempt to understand the complexities of the events of recent decades), as well as the ancient migrations of the Yeudi People from Beiteynu to North Seleya during the Yeudi Diaspora between the 1200s and 1500s. 

The team also offered some context as to the dispersing of the ancient Benowitz House of the Kadmonim during those centuries, some of which fled to Kundrati, carrying the Kundratijan Gem with them. They also spoke of the Keshef House, the direct descendants of another faction of the Yeudi People (and the Benowitzes) who fled to Valruzia, Keymon and North Seleya.

They shared their long-standing assumptions that 1 of the 8 Gems also passed to Keymon; ultimately to move further north [...].

Already offering a telltale sign that the exquisite white stone was in fact 1 of the 8 Gems of legend, considering that Kalistani experts had already determined its origins not to be of the modern age, the team quickly identified the same traits of craftsmanship that the Birites from Cildania had carried with them during the Qedarite Migrations; the exact same traits as with the 4 of 8 in Wiel and the 2 of 8 in Fort William.

Although text records from 500BCE are obscure and suffering from gaps, it's been verified multiple times that Elior maintained a workshop and was a craftsman in the employ of several elites during the times of Cildanian city states, before of course following Ariel to the West.

A spokesperson from the Agaf in Yishelem complemented the confirmation from Kaliburg with the following statement:

Another piece of the ancestry and heritage of the Yeudi People is found, after thousands and thousands of years. Mere stones, which merely tie us all across time and space; reminding us of our ancient and enduring roots. Their significance in our minds: inexpressible.

On behalf of the Beiteynuese Government and the Yeudi Diaspora from all across the world, we extend our immense gratitude to the Peoples of Kalistan for this unprecedented honour at not only authenticating a piece of our heritage, but also assuaging us that it, and we as a people, will remain safe and prosperous under the vigilant, mature and gravitating watch of Kaliburg and the Anantonese Empire.

A watch, a demeanour and a disposition unlike any other in North Seleya; and one enduring the tests of time like no other.

At this time, it remains unclear whether the Kundratijan Gem will be displayed for the public, remain in private or even be returned to Beiteynu; several officials, including the Director of the Archaic Museum of Yishelem declined to comment.

"The heritage of our people lies wherever our people are", she simply commented.

The new portal is available at 8gems.bei.
