			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The Legend of Sai Rayanna</em> is a work in progress and this weblog is here to track that work, give you news and ideas about its progress and invite your comments and questions.</p>
<p>We think it is an important work because it is the first all-feminine Epic to be published in Telluria. The first tale of high adventure and high history to be set among an all-feminine people. It is a new thing in this world &#8211; or rather a thing so old that it seems new.</p>
<p>You have probably already heard <a href="http://www.sairayanna.com/sairayanna.html" target="_self">the beginning of  the work here</a> so you will have an idea of the manner in which an ancient Epic is being cast in the form of a modern novel.</p>
<p>We believe this is the best way of making a story available to the modern mind &#8211; and we believe that stories are important. Despite all the claims of &#8220;scientific rationalism&#8221;, the soul of maid lives by stories.</p>
<p>Girls who are wholly feminine-identified need a Story &#8211; a fundamental Story that defines their identity, their nobility, their self-belief. We believe <em>The Legend of Sai Rayanna</em> is that story.</p>
<p>When C.S Lewis wrote the Narnia stories, he said that he wrote them because he was writing the kind of story he always wished to read as a child, but which did not exist.</p>
<p>I think all of us wished, as young fully-feminine-identified girls, that <em>our</em> story had existed.</p>
<p>We are here to make sure that, for the new generation, it will.</p>
