Suffering Sermon
From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki
Title: Suffering Sermon
Author: Transcription
Without suffering, humanity would never know. They would never know loss.
They would never know pain.
They would never know fear.
Without suffereing they would never know yearning... the yearning to know... to exist.
Suffer is to live and to die.
It is to exist and not to exist.
It is the path that leads us irrevocably towards Oblivion.
They suffer to keep from it.
We suffer to hasten it. We, the faithful, embrace the suffereing.
Suffering is not simply pain. It is not simply torment.
It is loss and the strength gained from it. Some of us were human, alive at one time. We suffered that... and our own existance.
Losing pieces and frayed strands of humanity.... to gain the strength of the dead.
Suffereing... it is one of the three precepts that we exist for.
We revolve around.
Suffereing, Obeyance, Hate.
We offer
We suffer
We give onto the nothing
And ask for nothing... but learn ourselves better for it.
Zata laventanlath yozag zata skre' rachta
The Order has been how it has been for many ages.
The Necromancers of the Ebon Skull are no more.
Our time has passed. A new era. An era of faith, of truth.
An era of Obeyance, Suffering, and Hate.
Those who surround me shall become the warders of the flock, the keepers of the faith.
Solanaceae will become Xirsa'endai, and one of my seers so that we may watch for the signs of the end times, and go forth.
Although she is off, hunting clues for me of lost ancients... Anak'sanamuun will herald the return of the Handmaidens of Lilyth, as one of the Val'kyr. There are others, who shall be drawn... by duty or by faith.
Together we will become the Kalja'jukal xa Magarun
The Ten Thousand Eyes of the Abyss.
There will be many changed, o faithful of Oblivion.
These are the end times. Embrace it, and suffer it well.
