| - The Eyes of Knowledge (Rockallian: An Súillean na nÉolais; Fernolian: An Léigadhin nan Gùideoith; Astrallic: An Euicheann Eoleisagh), also known as Oxin Eolasaga, is the largest, most extensive and most descriptive tale in the Prose Legendarium of Rockallic mythology. The tale describes the life of the god Eagle as he overlooks everything in existence from atop the All-Tree. It is notable for its descriptions of Eagle's overall knowledge, providing the most complete summary of the entirety of Rockallic mythology. This includes descriptions of the worlds, trees, locations, and branches. Of special interest to modern day scholars is that the section concerning the Garden, i.e. the world of humans, has references to locations that could be identified as Africa, China, India, and the Americas. Considering that Rockallic mythology is pre-Christian, it is a valuable insight into the nature of global interactions and knowledge as it existed thousands of years ago.
