My two bits on the Age of Midnight

Greetings.

Though it is rare indeed that I offer a public opinion, I have seen the
ebb and flow of these terms of "good" and " evil" mingled with those of
"light" and " darkness". Not just recently either. In fact, it seems it
has been a rather debated issue for several decades, if not forever. The
Age of Midnight exists due to the Grand Artifice put down by Lord Severn
at the end of the Second Age. Indeed, that Age ended due to the people
of the time merely forgetting it. So now we lie in Midnight. The
darkness of this Midnight is indeed a dark and treacherous one, but not
due to any particular cause or agenda of any particular group. It is so
dangerous because it represents both the apathy and the ignorance it
breeds that permeates almost everything in our world. The next Age to
come, the Age of Enlightenment, will not exist due to one "side' being
the victor. It will arrive once the minds of the people awaken to the
past, the present, and the future.

Blessed be that first Dawn, when the petty squabblings of Mortals is put
aside for the glory of all who exist. To lay down the sword in order to
pick up a quill...Pardon me, I digress into my own fantasies.
Regardless, it is vital to all those who would see the Age of Midnight
end to open their eyes and their hearts to possibility. Look beyond your
own feet or the sneer of your enemy to the horizon that beckons beyond.
I appreciate my time and those who may heed my message.

Penned by my hand on the 4th of Ios, in the year 133 MA.
