Lady Omei

Addressed to: Everyone


After recent events I feel that I have to speak to all of you about the
Dreamer. When I asked Lua to speak to you about the dreamer she said
that teaching, converting and convincing people is not our way, for the
wish to understand as well us understanding itself has to come from
within each persons soul and we do not force our views on others. Those
who choose ignorance as their way have to be respected for it as well.
While that certainly annoys me, I see the wisdom in it. So I'll try to
refrain using my words to sway you one way or another, and only state
the facts as I know them.

The conflict between the muse and the dreamer is far older and
fundamental then most of you imagine. Lady Omei is not originally the
Goddess of Dreams, but all all passions, hopes, dreams and wishes, of
all the potential of a person that is already inherent in it's own soul
and that can be unlocked by discovering, embracing and understanding
oneself. As such her order is more like a family where each one is on
his own journey but we travel together with her as the monther and
guardian that watches over us. The Muse on the other hand "inspires"
people and teaches them the ways of art, so the impulse of understand
and discory is one coming from the outside and is not something
inherent. For the dreamer that is false, because it tries to cement that
there is only one truth and that is those taught by the Muse, for she
gains power and recognition if people create art in her name.
Personally, while it is alot easier to believe in the teachings of
others, the idea that my truth is inherent in myself gives me strenght
and the will to find it.

Then, a long time ago, the race of the rajamala's was in mortal peril.
In her compassion the dreamer sided with the rajamala warrior deity to
protect them and so broke divine law and got imprisoned for it. I do not
know much about why, how and by whome, but the Muse took the chance to
sway and convert Omei's worshippers to her side and to remove her from
the memory of the public to weaken her so she would not gain the
strenght to escape her prison ever. Cut of from her faithfull and only
able to reach others in dreams, she had to endure that for aeons. And
when severn created his artifice she became truly forgotten.

Recently, Lady Omei found out where the Muse was hiding and took the
chance to get even. That made me happy but also worried for alot of
reasons. One of the them is that people would not be able to see past
the obvious and judge the dreamer without understanding the nature of
this conflict. I'll welcome the chance to talk about my faith, the
recent events and lady omei's history with anyone who likes, but I'll
not do it here for it does not interest everyone (and is very expensive,
too) and neither in tells, for I believe in the beauty of personal
contact.I also recommend that those who wish to embarge on a journey of
self-discovery to contact Lua.

Penned by my hand on the 7th of Khepary, in the year 169 MA.
