Regeltavok Oorpah
Regeltavok Oorpah (regeltavok Urpa, regeltahvokh Oorpah, lit. "The Writing of Oorpah")[note 1] was a book of prophecies written by the Ronay prophet Oorpah. It is an ancient text, written before the D'ni settled on Earth over 9,600 years ago. Much of it deals with the foretelling of a Great King who will be sent by Yahvo to guide his people. Ri'neref, leader of the Ronay sect that would become the D'ni, strongly believed in this book.
