In planning the irrigating system, Genessana Allis Immo did not include
possible waterways, much less our great system of waterways, but as
the work progressed the necessity for providing further storage for
the annual over-flow became apparent, and it was Genessano Allis
Immo's comprehensive mind that conceived the idea of turning to
advantage that which at first seemed a deplorable requirement. The
idea once conceived, its utility was quickly perceived and with great
determination and vigor the added enterprise was quickly under way.
That it has been and ever will be of incalculable service and profit to
Ento is obvious.
Toward the close of the seventh year (ofen elips[a:][a:]) the
Irrigating and Central Waterways System reached Gandûlana Lois[a:],
thence eastward through the province of Wy[a:]mo and onward the work
has continuously been prosecuted. Ere Genessano Allis Immo passed into
the silence, as the results of his grandly conceived and executed
plans he beheld fertile fields yielding rich abundance and growing
communities of industrious, contented people surrounding themselves
with the luxuries and refinements of prosperous conditions. He lived
to realize that even as a child nestles in the arms of its mother, so
would the thirsty lands of his beloved Ento nestle in the encircling
embrace of the life giving element. He lived to behold the infant
city Camariss[a:] smiling downward upon the sparkling waters of the
Central Waterway, with its many outreaching arms. He lived to see great
vessels traversing the waterway between Camariss[a:] and Gandûlan[a:]
Lois[a:]. He lived to see his adored wife, the Lady Camariss[a:], whose
virtues and beauty were themes for poets, painters and sculptors,
pass into the dread silence, while over her beloved form rained his
and their two sons' woful tears. He yet lived to see the basin of
Indolois[a:] greatly deepened and confined by strong embankments and
stronger walls. He lived until he arranged for the erection of this,
the greatest of Ento's Galarēs[a:]s, then with the quiet resignation
of one who has wisely and lovingly fulfilled the will of Andûman[a:],
he too was no more. Passing into the silence he left his two young
sons to perpetuate his and their mother's name and honors. As Rûh[a:]
(governor) of Ondû, Inidor[a:], the elder son, emulated the virtuous
example of his revered father, and Genessano, the younger son, who
in resemblance and characteristics was very like his father was his
brother's inseparable companion. It is related of them that the life
of one seemed inseparably involved in the existence of the other.
As two vigorous saplings growing side by side, their leafy boughs
so interlaced as to cast but one shadow, so were the lives of the
two youths interblended. The thought of one was the thought of both.
The desire of either one found fullest response in the heart of the
other. It was the will of Andûman[a:] that Inidor[a:] while yet in
early manhood should cease to exist.
