ABOUT THIS BOOK
Description
The Kingdom of Jabal was a magnificent and vast empire, home to thousands of people. The name Jabal originated from the numerous mountains that characterized the region, most of which completely surrounded the entire kingdom. The Kingdom of Jabal was bordered by the Sea of Farjum, a body of water steeped in diverse ancient histories, ranging from terrifying tales to mythical legends. The region was home to a multitude of tribes, with at least over a hundred different languages spoken among them. It was also a land blessed with abundant wealth in agriculture, livestock farming, and commerce.
Mount Jaddum was the most colossal mountain in the Kingdom of Jabal, and it was an extremely terrifying peak where dreadful events were said to occur. According to folklore passed down through generations, it was said that in years past, the mountain was the stronghold of a tribe called the Gussum, though others claimed the tribe's name was Hadira. These shrouded tribes, whose true identity remains a subject of debate, were said to sacrifice every baby girl born on a Thursday, offering her blood to their deity situated on the side of the mountain. When the wife of their leader gave birth to a baby girl on a Thursday, they demanded that the infant be sacrificed. However, the leader adamantly refused to let this happen to his own flesh and blood. Since he surpassed them in wealth and power, they had no choice but to back down. From that day forward, anyone who climbed the mountain would have only their skull seen rolling back down to the ground, while their body would never be seen again.
Others, however, claimed that after the female child was born to the leader on a Thursday, as soon as the news spread, he packed up his family along with the newborn baby and left the town without bidding anyone farewell. From that day on, the people faced a terrible punishment whenever anyone climbed the mountain for worship, as their deity had fallen into a state of furious wrath.
Yet, despite the vast number of religions present within the kingdom, only three major religions held significant influence: Islam, Christianity, and traditional worship.
