Zenda (concept)
The Zenda is the sacred body of knowledge encompassing the revelations of The Prophet, recorded and preserved by Amsari scholars. It contains the foretellings of future events, including the Battle of the Broken Chain, and the Dead Moon, serving as a guide to understanding Zaoran's will.
Though the Prophet's teachings were delivered as a continuous narrative throughout their lifetime, the Zenda is traditionally divided into two distinct books: the aforementioned Prophecy and the Sazān-e Mahndāzi. This division, while practical, is ultimately arbitrary, as passages have shifted between the two over centuries of scholarly interpretation.
