Cerean The Great - CN

Cerean the Great is a Wedonan mythological hero who discovered the Meritoch land mass and proved mathematically that the world was round.

The Myth of Cerean the Great
The Myth of Cerean the Great states that as a teenager, he learned how to sail with his friends. As he got older, he wondered more and more about what was out further in the sea.

Against the wishes of his friends and mother, he ventured out into sea and got lost. Eventually he found an Island chain that led him to what he concluded was an continent untouched by Humans.

He ventured back to the first Island and sailed back where he came from, and eventually found the northern coast of Wedona, miles from his home. He spread the word about the untouched continent, and none believed that it was a continent, rather if it did exist, it was just a large island.

As he got older he wondered why ships sank into the water as they sailed away, so he traveled to the Shi philosopher Amir Ali. Amir taught him that the world was round, but that only science and math could prove that it was. So for the next ten years Cerean studied math and created algebra, and also proved that the world was round mathematically along with how big he thought the planet was.

Because he proved the world was round, the Shi called the planet Cereland, meaning Land of Cerean, to celebrate his discoveries. Over time it got shortened to Cere. When Sa'ad Ali, son of Amir Ali fought the Battle of Tarsus, they spread the use of the name, leading to the planet officially being called Cere.
