Greetings to you all.

I would like to begin by telling all of you that it was I who broke
ranks in the Order of Mystery and exposed the plans of Golgotha and his
allies to the Luminaries. Before you go into a death frenzy, please take
the time to read all of my post. First, I tell you this because for one
thing, I can't stand to see poor Anashia hunted as if she were the only
conspirator. She did her part. I did mine. However, I would have done
this regardless. I left the Luminaries long ago because I saw the same
apathy and indifference that had caused the Priests' demise. When the
two Angels werespirited away to theChaos Planes, no one did anything
until theTriad appeared and demanded action. Then it was praying and
holy moly time. I found it a disgusting act of hypocrisy, so I left.
When I heard of these plans to force an Angel into service, I had to act
again. In my mind, to do nothing was no better than to help hold her
down. It was not for the sake of the Luminaries, the Triad, or anything
like that. I did whatI did for the Angel.
Since I will undoubtedly be killed several times for this transgression,
I might as well voice my opinion on some topics. First off, I am an old
guy. Some are older, but I have certainly seen my share of action in
these lands. And I can assuredly tell you that this Light/Dark thing has
been going on since I was born and will surely continue long after my
eventual death. It is your role, whether you serve Darkness or Light to
pursue and solicit for your particular cause. As it is mine to preserve
the Balance between the two. So many things could be solved so easily if
only many of you could put your egos aside and just listen to your inner
voices. Don't follow the crowd like some sort of bleating herd animal.
Rather, seek your own paths in life. Act because YOU wish to, not
because someone told you to. I feel that much of what I say will go
right over many of your heads, butI pray it might find an ear or two.
Also, many of you are probably unaware that this Age we reside in, the
Midnight Age, is just an Age. And all Ages eventually pass and evolve
into something else. I seek to bring theAge of Enlightenment to the
realms. This Age can only help us all. Just because it contains the word
Light does not mean that it stands as an age of Imperial Fascism, rather
it will serve as a time for all of us to transcend ourselves and see
more oftheworld for what it is. As theOrder ofMystery continues to
educate the populace and the learning center in Spinesreach nears
completion, these are times for us to put our weapons aside and pick up
the quill and the scroll. Declare your intent with a post or a treatise
rather than with your domineering might. The Age of Midnight, though it
revels in Darkness, also revels in ignorance and apathy. And I am
certain that all races and professions suffer equally from these
problems. Why not join together to see an end to this madness? Open your
own mind and help others to open theirs. Surely, nothing but good can
comefrom this. Oh, and I mean good for everyone, not the entity of
"Good".
Well, time to take my deaths like a man. Anyway, I hope you may have
gleaned at least an ounce of inspiration or enlightenment from this
post. IF you quit reading after my first statement, then I bid you good
day.

Sincerely,
Garador Demira
