Lore:Thousand-Strong of Sedor

Sedor circa 2E 582

"He entered the Gate at ... to win back the hands of the Thousand-Strong of Sedor (a tribe now unknown but famous in those days), which the Ayleids had stolen in the night, two thousand hands that he brought back in a wagon made of demon-bone, whose wheels trailed the sound of women when ill at heart..." —The Song of Pelinal

The Thousand-Strong of Sedor were an ancient tribe of Nedic people. They lived in Cyrod during the early First Era. According to The Song of Pelinal, their name has been lost to history, but they were famous during the days of the Alessian Slave Rebellion. They were enslaved and taken captive by the Ayleids who inhabited Sedor. During the Slave Rebellion, they were liberated by Pelinal Whitestrake and were "brought back in a wagon made of demon-bone, whose wheels trailed the sound of women when ill at heart". A text dedicated to the role of Shezarr in the survival of the spirit of the Ayleids' Nedic slaves speaks of a stone tablet found in the ruins of Sedor. This tablet depicts a bearded figure referred to as "the Shezzarine, Shor-Who-Lives, Teacher of Men".
