[!] A deluge of papers was propelled, as if by some arcanic means, throughout nearly every populated center upon Almaris, all bearing a similar message in bold lettering.

 

 

 

 

AT THE VERY MOMENT OF SYNTHESIS OF WHAT IS KNOWN, WE WERE ENDOWED WITH THE TRUTHS OF A THRICE-COMPOUNDED GOD.

 

AND IT WAS FIRST DECLARED TO US THAT THIS GOD WAS UNALIENABLE AND OMNIPOTENT, THOUGH THIS DID NOT ENDOW US SURPRISE, FOR SUCH AN IMPOSSIBILITY MESHES EASILY WITH THE INCESSANT SIMPLIFICATIONS OF THE MORTAL MIND.

 

BUT IN OUR GREED TO COMPREHEND OUR GOD WE WERE PUNISHED; FURTHER IMPOSSIBILITIES WERE COMPOUNDED UPON ITS EXISTENCE:

 

 

ONCE-COMPOUNDED   OUR GOD TOLD US WE COULD SHARE IN ITS POWER; BUT NO EXCESS WAS TRULY GIVEN, FOR OUR GOD TOOK AS MUCH AS IT GAVE, LEAVING US WITHERED AND MADDENED IN THE WAKE OF NEWFOUND MIGHT.	TWICE-COMPOUNDED   OUR GOD ASSURED US WE WERE ITS SPAWN, AND THAT FROM ITS GRACE WE CAME INTO BEING. IT TAUNTED US WITH THIS FACT, OFTEN RECLAIMING THE PARTS OF US THAT IT COULD TOUCH.	THRICE-COMPOUNDED   OUR GOD PROMISED US IT WOULD DESTROY THAT WHICH IT CREATED, THAT WITH US IT WOULD ONCE MORE BE ONE, AND THAT WE WOULD BE THE INSTRUMENTS OF OUR OWN UNDOING.

 

 

 

AND THEREAFTER THE MIND OF THE DESCENDANT SHATTERED TO VARIOUS WEAKNESSES; FACED WITH THE INCOMPREHENSIBLE, THE RATIONAL MIND MUST SOMEHOW SAVE ITSELF:

 

MANY CHOSE TO RUN; TO DISTANCE THEMSELVES FROM THEIR GOD. BUT THEY STILL HELD ITS GIFTS WITHIN THEM, AND THEIR PRECIOUS WORLD WITHERED THROUGHOUT THEIR HYPOCRISY.

 

SOME CHOSE TO REJECT THEIR GOD; TO SPURN AND EXPUNGE ITS INFLUENCE FROM THEIR WORLD. BUT ALAS, THEY WERE OF THIS GOD, AND THE PIECES OF THIS GOD WERE A PART OF THEIR NATURE, AND NO MATTER THE EFFECTS OF THEIR CRUSADE, IT WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN WITHIN THEM.

 

A FEW, LOST TO INSANITY, EMBRACED THEIR GOD, BECKONING ITS INFLUENCE TO RECLAIM THEIR WORLD…

 

BUT THE MOST GUILEFUL OF THE WEAK GROVELED BEFORE THEIR GOD, AND SOUGHT TO DECEIVE IT; TO USE ITS PRIDEFULLY-GIVEN GIFTS TO FREE THEMSELVES FROM ITS TYRANNY.

 

DESCENDANT-KIND: CHOOSE WISELY WHICH BRAND OF WEAKNESS MARKS YOU, FOR IT WILL DETERMINE THE FATE OF THE WORLD.
