 Posted: Fri Jan 12, 2007 10:29 am Post subject: A Discourse On The Falsity Of Virtue |
 |
For centuries Umbra has ever been the target of disdain from its brother city, Luna. Those to the North and West of us have come to ascribe to us all manner of things evil. This, my brethren, is their mistake. They are, for lack of a better term, unenlightened. History is lost to them.
You see, long before Molly and the Court of Light came to this land, long before the wars were waged on us by the wretched paladins of Luna, all of Malas was peaceful. There were no Virtues in this facet.
At the moment that our moongates were connected to those of Lord British's contemptuous Virtue-sworn, that is the moment Malas lost it's unique identity. It became nothing more than prime real estate and commercialism.
The Virtuous of Trammel brought with them a plague, that these lands still suffer and rot from. Virtue.
Lord British's methods of control are absolute, at best, One can hardly fail to credit his logic. After all, what better way to control the masses, than by causing them to think that what they do is Right, that it is Just.
But, they are hardly right, and seldom, if ever just.
The Virtues are a fraud! A great hoax perpetrated by Lord British for two main reasons.
One, to impose an easily maintained system of right and wrong, to better control the masses. What better way to control someone than to instill feelings of guilt, if they do something considered "Unvirtuous"? The easiest way to maintain control is to instill self-control in your followers. In this, Lord British proves he is a wise, if tyrannical founder.
Two, the theory that when all the people in all the shards are virtuous, the shards shall rejoin, and heal the damaged Gem of Immortality shattered by the Stranger. In the book, "My Book", by acclaimed and recognized author, Sherry the Mouse, the Timelord comes to Lord British. He says to him the following:
| Quote: | "But not to here. When the Gem was shattered, a thousand shards were scattered across the dimensions, and in each shard there is a perfect likeness of this world. And thou dost live upon one such shard, for thou art not of the true world-thou art merely a reflection.
My task is to heal this shattered world, Lord British, and I seek to enlist thee in my cause. Be warned that in this case, healing carries with it a terrible price.
A shard of a universe is a powerful thing, and universe shattered is always in danger from the powers of darkness. Already three shards were turned to evil, and sent to plague the original universe in the form of Shadowlords. Many times have I brought the Stranger back to Britannia, to preserve it from its own folly or from outside dangers. Yet as long as the world remaineth in pieces, it remaineth vulnerable. We must bring the shards into harmony, so that they resonate in such a manner that matches the original universe. Then the two universes shall merge, and be again as one.
Indeed, the reflections shall become one with the orginal. Thou wouldst cease to be as thou art, and become part of the larger you. Thou shalt not die; however, uncounted generations have passed and borne children since that day, and they have no counterparts. They would perish utterly.
Tis for the greater good.
Aid the nobility that resideth in human heart. Protect the Virtues that so recently came to thee in thought late at night. They are the Virtues of life, as your counterpart understands them to be. For when thy populace doth live and breathe these Virtues shall it match the true Britannia, and thy shard shall rejoin with it." |
And thus did the Timelord sway Lord British into further lusts for power, by tempting him with a whole and completed Gem of Immortality. Such greed has never been seen before. Not even Mondain organized such mass death to acquire the Gem.
And so, did these Virtues make their way to our land of Malas. They took residence in Luna, and spread south, to our neighbors in Sanctus. But, they will never reach Umbra. We, alone, seem strong enough to resist the hypocrisy of such a code.
I entreat to you all, take up the anti-virtues, take up chaos, take up anything you can that will oppose the Virtues. For tis only then we can ensure our survival. |
