In-Universe Date: Year -36 (before the Gift)
Summary: Priestesses from the future arrive with the Grammar of a new language, disrupting Yesora's religious practice and way of life.
Notes: Not the document on Github, this is a side-story about Yesora's Grammar, and the changes it made to religious practice, why the priesthood is all female, and where a number of the conventions that are present in Setsiana's day came from (as well as the origin of the word that's being translated as "priestess"). I wanted to wait to post this until after introducing the Egalitarian heresy, for I hope obvious reasons.
