Algoron,
Two years ago from today I took my quill and urged an insurgence to find me.
I recalled the tale of the man who found me and gave me life.
I wrote of Shay Kayen and the philosophy he and Malcom the Prophet
augured through sheer profundity of thought, through the constant
questioning of things as they exist today. I am not interested in
professing invalidated "truths" that claim enlightenment, not without hard
sources invoked from the experience of living and thus knowing.
I wrote two years ago that peace can be found at the end of bloody roads.
Ours was a revolution, not only of the fiery steel of military warfare but
of faith and experimentation. We asked 'why? ' of every question. Why
must Kwainin's balance exist if it will result in war neverending - of an
unconquered bloodshed persisting in a status quo that will never yield peace
nor order?
Why do the beggars still shamble in the golden streets of Althainia if
Austinian represents "Virtue" and "Goodness" and other philosophical
concepts bereft of actual weight?
They call us evil. Evil is by common definition wrongdoing. Because we
desire order, because we desire an organized Unitarian society which will
pool a likeminded community toward a common end, we are called evil.
You may or may not hear rebuttals. You may hear from Malachive's traitorous
brotherhood who trusts the Godson who betrayed his own father, or you may
hear from the men who insist there are no beggars in Althainia. I will say
it again.
More than anything, I ask that you look at the world with objective eyes.
When you're finished, find me. Any able-bodied man who seeks real change
through methodical principles will find their way to Storm Keep paid in
full. I will arm you, and I will fill the vacuum which has plagued you and
displace the faiths which have antagonized you:
I will save you.
