BobBox 3211 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Spoiler More info about the inspiration for this post found in the lower spoiler. [!] Please RP finding and reading this missive in any place you'd like. The content within is not hidden. She prays blindly, does not question, and is not enlightened. A singular step separates those who are knowing and known and those who are unknown, to it and them - the Five-lord’d God. It is a singular step forward to cast doubt on your previous learnings, to instead relearn from it. Break free from the chains of mental captivity, free yourself from the bindings of lies. Let the learnings of the past fade into ash and cinders. Admit your mind to it and them, question all, realize, awaken—all with the help of it and them. Yet if you await the answer of it and them, be patient still. It is their light that shines brightest when you need it most. Though if patience wears thin, there is still hope—act. Make your existence known to it and them so that you may be brought into the light. Be guided by humble shepherds, walk peacefully to it and them. But do not forget. A singular step backward is the first step away from it and them, but this will only cause a stumble - Yet it is a simple stumble that quickly turns into a fall. And when you fall, do not expect it and them - the Five-lord’d God - to help anymore.For when you cast aside it and them, they cast aside you. Spoiler While I have done a fair bit of creative writing in the past (especially following the mind of my character), I recently felt the need to start a small series of writings (or what I hope I can turn into a series). While reading American Prometheus, I was introduced to the sonnet Batter my heart, three-person'd God by John Donne, and felt inspired to at the very least put a twist on the three-person'd God, which in my writing has turned into the Five-lord'd God. I hope to continue to find inspiration in some of the various books I'm reading and to continue to produce various Naztherak Ramblings 29 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toudlou 36 Share Posted October 30, 2023 A ker, looking quite worse for wear, dabbed the blood away from his broken nose whilst reading the writings in his dimly lit room, "Hm, cryptic, though I'm not surprised." He'd continue hunched over the words, copying each letter down onto more sheets of paper. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A certain dark elf falls from a tree as her attempt to climb is foiled by a lone page which found its way onto a branch somehow. How this got there, she has no idea. Spoiler I love esoteric writings, looking forward to the next part! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClatterCake 262 Share Posted November 14, 2023 The Haeseni Knight furrowed his brow, having stumbled upon the writings during his investigation across Aevos. This was not what he was looking for, but it was something to keep in mind. He would have to be careful during his journeys from now on; there was no telling what lurked in the wilderness... or even in foreign cities. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pallodium 465 Share Posted November 15, 2023 An elven girl would be seated upon the edge of a large rooftop. A single parchment, swathed with curving and stagnant writing was tightly grasped between her hands; the corners of the paper flittering back and forth against the evening breeze. Her amber eyes read over the missive time and time again; the curving words and twisted phrases slowly being memorized by heart. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlestheDwarf 69 Share Posted November 27, 2023 High upon the dwarven battlements of Urguan, a young, red-headed, and scarred dwed stared at the missive that sat penned to the wall, discovered in the midst of his duties as a legionnaire. His eyes narrowed, scanning across the page again and again, leaning against the large cannon swab he'd carried from inside the fortifications with him. "Yemekar's beard-" He murmured, leaning inward as he read. "Who in their righ' mind'd go and pin this up here? Garedyn'll have a fit..." He trailed off, turning to continue and carry out his task. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaffeinatedCrow 162 Share Posted November 28, 2023 An adunian finds these writings in Krugmar- of all places to find a writing about five lord'd Gods. She merely looks them over with dulled green eyes, her age visible upon her visage as she merely shakes her head after. "Reminds me of the ramblings of a man I once knew..." She mumbles out, yet soon her attention is caught by another- her focus shifting from the page. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydni_spelled_strange 16 Share Posted December 11, 2023 The young human woman pauses, catching sight of a missive pinned to the wall. She had spotted it by chance, while exploring the side streets of Numenost. She scans the text slowly; while she knows how to read, the cursive is a bit difficult for her to interpret. After reading over it a few times, she reaches into her bag and takes out her notebook, making note of the words on the missive. She does not quite understand their meaning, but she intends to return to it later for further study. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcaPro 70 Share Posted February 1 A young Aleksey Godunov gazes up at the paper tucked away in the corner of a little garden. Barely five years old, he reaches up to grab it, but simply can't. As such, he runs off to tell his father about the paper with pretty handwriting. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrus 16 Share Posted February 1 Snow collected atop the aging wayfarer’s hair as he was led to trudge towards a small corner in the city. Upon arriving, he looked up to see what he walked all this way for. His eyes widened as he stood, aghast and fixated on the missive before him. The content itself did not disturb the man but the mere fact that it was a child who had guided him to see this poster. He opened his mouth, but no words came out but a single, breathless “Oh...” 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
