The Book of Emergence tells the story of Saint Duisienbourgh, a spiritual figure who created the universe and watched over its development. He breathed life into the first creatures on Earth and guided humanity in the principles of the Way of Duisien. The people of the Mississippi Delta flourished under his teachings, building a great civilization that spread across the continent. However, Saint Duisienbourgh foresaw a time of darkness and chaos when the teachings of the Way of Duisien would be lost. He prepared for that day by instructing his followers to record his teachings in the Holy Nostisomnius. Even after he departed the mortal realm, his legacy lived on, serving as a guiding light for all who sought to live a just and fulfilling life.
The Book of Principles is a collection of nine stories that illustrate important principles for living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Each story is unique, but they all share a common theme of the importance of character, virtue, and values in shaping one's life.
The stories cover a wide range of topics, including the importance of hard work, honesty, humility, forgiveness, and the pursuit of knowledge. They also emphasize the role of adversity and challenges in shaping one's character and the importance of learning from mistakes.
Overall, the Book of Principles encourages readers to reflect on their own values and character and to strive to live a life guided by principles that promote personal growth, happiness, and the greater good.

The Book of Prophecies Foretold in the Holy Nostisomnius lists prophecies spoken by St. Duisienbourgh before his passing, including the emergence of a great leader who would bring about a new era of light and prosperity, the warning to beware of false prophets, and the perseverance of the followers of Duisien through times of crisis. For many years, the teachings of St. Duisienbourgh were forgotten, until the followers of Duisien awoke to a strange and wondrous sight in 2002, which they interpreted as a sign that the prophecy was about to be fulfilled. Finally, after years of waiting, the Kabaar emerged, a humble man chosen by the divine to lead the followers of Duisien to a new era of prosperity and enlightenment. The people of Northudankton lived by the teachings of St. Duisienbourgh and prospered greatly, but were attacked by the current followers of the old Nimmish people. They were aided by a nearby micronation, Illuminatia, and together they built strong and prosperous communities based on the principles of the Way of Duisien.
