Dearest Aetolians,

I have never before penned words on this board. I have never had
anything to say that matched the enormity of the words I now write.

I have received a vision inspired by Light. My vision was of the future.
A new age has begun, the Age of Enlightenment. It is within this age
that the people who stand with me, bathed in Light, shall turned back
the all-consuming wave of darkness. Hear my words and think about all
that is contained therein.

No more shall darkness and deception ravage my people, sapping their
strength, hope, and faith. We stand together, drawing from a common pool
of power, against these affronts. The sect of people known as the
Illuminati are the chosen people of light and I am light's messenger.

My previous fold was gifted with dreams of great import before the
dissolution of the Guild. I, myself, was privy to more than half a dozen
dreams. The images of one such dream strike me as the perfect ending to
the announcement of my affirmed faith. Here is my recounting of the
dream...

In the sky, a pillar of bright light is seen. For miles around, it
lights up the sky and turns night to day. You sense the light is growing
too bright for your mortal eyes to not be damaged by, yet you can not
tear your eyes away. As the too-bright light blinds you, you see a girl
in the center of a flame. With piercing eyes she looks at you and
commands, 'See!'

For the Light,
Sahmie Rhashye
