Overview

Some time ago, Alric Unwin presented a collection of documents he called 'The Anacan Letters'. The letters were written in an ancient script with some similarities to the modern day language used throughout the Far East. A translated copy of these letters was provided by Alric to the Church of Sartan and the original documents stored in a Cathayan temple. Alric labeled the concepts presented as 'Sartanism.'

These letters, supposedly contained a history of Sartan that date to a time before the Ibladesh teachings made their way to the Far East. The creation date of this historical document was questionable as there were few other historical documents dating so far back. It was proposed that Sartanism existed in the Far East long before the coming of the Ibladesh. It was suggested that the Ibladesh priests encountered Far East Sartanism and incorporated parts of this native faith into their teaching when establishing the Church of Sartan in the Far East as a way of quickly converting new followers.

While some copies of translations sent out by Alric to the Church of Sartan as a whole may still exist, the original documents disappeared from the Cathayan temple that housed them shortly before Alric left the Church of Sartan.
