In the mountains of Dharma, in the high country of Yatinghadatta, in Vind‘yu, God, Son of Jehovih, chose the family of Capilya for gathering together the scattered Faithists, and establishing them in safety and prosperity.

Six generations previous to the time of Capilya, God came down from his holy hill in heaven to visit the land of Shem, now called Vind‘yu.

And God called aloud over all that land, but no man could hear his voice.

Then God called his angels, saying: Come here. Behold, here is a great country, with millions of people, but they cannot hear the voice of God.

God commanded the angels to go down among mortals, and to dwell with them for six generations.

To the angels God said: By inspiration and otherwise, lead man and woman together as husband and wife, to the profit of the voice of God. Raise me up a man who can hear me, for I will deliver the Father‘s chosen.

The angels of God, half a million of them, then came down to the earth. The angel, Hirattax, was commander over them. He divided his angel hosts into groups, and allotted them certain places in the land of Vind‘yu, where they were to dwell and to labor.

In those days the Faithists were known by the names Vede, Par‘si‘e, Hiyah, and Syiattahoma, beside various other names of less note.
