The Canonical Works

   Posted by: MASTER SCRIBE    in Articles

Over hundreds of years, The Scroll, Inc. has gathered an enormous library of Scrollidian literature which it has made available to the general populous. Classifying these wonderful works of literary art into three categories, we have: The Scroll, The Scroll Chronicles, and The Tales from The Scroll. While The Scroll and The Scroll Chronicles are fully accepted as history, there has always been much debate over which of The Scroll Tales should be considered to be factual or to be a works of fiction.

The Council of Nice-ta-see-ya was held in 2006 AD I and AD II by the head council of The Scroll, Inc. to make a decision about which of The Scroll Tales should be included in (what has been entitled) The Canonical Works. All Scrollidian Works to be included in The Canon had to meet a few requirements. First, each work had to have been directly about one of the Three Heroes. Secondly, it had to be proven that each work was penned by an official member of The SCRIBES Guild or any of its ancient equivalents (The Three Heroes are all considered to be honorary members of The SCRIBES Guild).  Lastly, each work’s veracity was scrutinized in intense detail to ensure its historical accuracy.

Those Tales that were excluded from The Canonical Works are known as either The Non-canonical Works, or, as many say, The Apocryphal Works. These texts are considered supplemental to The Canon and crucial to better comprehension. While they are not completely historically accurate, they do contain high quantities of factual content that is entangled in an inescapable web of embellishment and mythology. However, to esteem these works as inferior would be as foolish as deciding to wean yourself off of oxygen by going an entire day only breathing water. The Scroll Tales belonging to The Canonical Works are the following:

  1. The Bane of Brian
  2. ‘e li’l ol’ manuscript
  3. Democracy to Destruction
  4. The Birth of Mayonnaise

   Posted by: MASTER SCRIBE    in News, Press Releases

The Scroll is now available in its fulness here on The SCRIBES Guild website.  Just go to the table of contents page to start reading.  I mean, go there now! Do not finish reading this post.  Just stop.  There isn’t anything else here to read anyway.  All I am going to do is continue to command you to read The Scroll and make threats that I cannot fulfill from long distances.  I mean it, really.  There is no point in continuing to read this.  Please stop… do you even realize what you are doing?  You fool! I command you to begin reading The Scroll.  Don’t make me curse you or anything… Don’t make me do it… are you stopping?  Huh?  Fine, you leave me with no choice… I Curse You!  There.  I did it.  Are you happy?  Fine, I’ll stop writing first, then you stop reading, OK?  On the count of 3: 1… 2… 3…

You’re still here… aren’t you?  Fine, then I’m just ending this post.

The Scroll Returns One Piece At A Time

   Posted by: MASTER SCRIBE    in News

Because of the amount of work it takes our scribes to transcribe new copies of The Scroll, and because most of our scribes have been sacked, we will only be able to release The Scroll, scroll by scroll.  The good news is, Scroll I is available!  Read it and remember!

What happened to The Scroll, Inc.?

   Posted by: MASTER SCRIBE    in News, Press Releases

Many corrupt companies have long sought out to destroy The Scroll, Inc. and silence their open solicitation of The Scroll.  With the world always at its throat, The Scroll, Inc. has faced many challenges that would have seemed insurmountable by most of the corporate populations.    

However, a recent discovery within their corporate structure leaked to the public, and shareholders began selling stock like Hannah Montana merchandise.  It turns out that the president of The Scroll, Inc. was a 1500-year-old patch of sentient seaweed from the northern Atlantic Ocean that had uprooted itself and come upon land with dreams of achieving Enlightenment.  Instead, it found a cruel world filled with crushed dreams and harsh realizations.  So, instead of seeking Enlightenment, it decided to save the world by promoting various tyrannies and monarchies that it felt were beneficial to the people. After hearing so much of The Great Ones, it decided to fully support them as world leaders.  After joining The Scroll Coalition, it took a part time job pushing papers in one of The Scroll, Inc. foreign offices.  After only a few years, it rose to become President of the Board of Directors of the entire corporation. Under its intuitive and unprecedented leadership, The Scroll, Inc. became one of the greatest world powers.  The world, however, after learning the identity of great seaweedian president, betrayed its once beloved company.

After the downfall of The Scroll, Inc., the world’s economy began to fail.  Real estate dropped, gas prices skyrocketed, and hearts sank into despair.  Many computer and Internet related businesses, however, continued to thrive, so The SCRIBES Guild acquired all of The Scroll, Inc.’s assets and created this website utilizing some of the great utilities of the Web 2.0 phenomenon.

Because of the shortage of scribes, and because The Scroll must be transcribed by hand (using secret, ancient techniques) each time, it may be some time before all sections of The Scroll are available on our website.  Please subscribe to our RSS feed to be notified when there are updates.
