Uranus was very different to his brother, Mercury. In their teens his brother was the
athletic go-getter- always preparing himself in case the war didn’t end, whereas Saturn
wanted to hear about the First World and discover This World for himself, which he did by
walking out into it and studying the flowers, trees and animals for himself. Sometimes he
was even allowed to assist in the work of the wizards.
When the brothers came of age and the war still raged, Mercury went quickly to the fore
while Uranus remained at home afraid of what awaited him at the front. He knew swords
and shields were not for him, that for him to be in the line would be to give it a weak point.
But he didn’t want to do nothing. Like half the population of the world he wanted the side
that fought against the devil who sought to rule all to stop him from doing so. Following a
talk with an injured soldier and a call from his brother, Uranus knew what to do.
Uranus could see the importance of the war’s outcome and the events within it. And, as
such, Uranus began to chronicle all that occurred while working as his brother’s assistant
(Mercury having become more than a mere foot soldier).
From his vantage point Uranus was able to write first hand accounts of his brother’s
exploits in battle and of the effect of all Mars’s weapons, from the first fireworks to that
final, decisive weapon. Plus he was able to speak to those who had seen the war before
he or his brother were involved and thus work backwards to make his work complete.
After the war ended Saturn devoted his life to building the first of the chronicles covering
The Great Change and the world it created as well as collecting and collating the Tales of
the First World.
