The Eternal Thorn
From Atlantic Roleplay Wiki
The Eternal Thorn by Nathan ap Waels
The Zemyazan Doctrine: The Eternal Thorn
There are many causes which the people of Sosaria stand behind. Ideals, love, land...all mortal concerns. All petty. But there is a greater cause. A glorious cause. A cause so epic and inevitable that those who are blessed enough to divine its beauty can not help but rise up to defend it.
-This is the Crusade.-
No, it is not like the lesser quests that those not gifted with its vision fight for. It is not to rid the world of a people, to worship false deities, or to dominate one's well over another's. It is higher. It is unstoppable. It is the glorious reason for existence, and it is above all other fates.
-It is Oblivion.-
The end of all things.
The quest for nothing-
ness. The yearning to
bring about the last city.
-It is for Zemyaza.- The Dark Father of all, creator of the legacy, and the root of our blood.
-The journey of Entropy.-
And we are the blessed multitude of beings that fate has divined to be its servants. We are the truly blessed, for we have not only the honor of viewing the the unrivaled beauty of the blood, but to serve it. A great deal of us were at one time champions of life and Virtue, creatures that have seen the greater Vision. We come from all through out the land, of all races and minds and views, from all corners and ideals of society, all to humble ourselves in servitude to this noble endeavor. We are the Guardians of this Crusade. We are the Guardians of this Legacy, the Guardians of this Blood. The distant watchers. We are those who stand resilient and wait, ever faithful to our code and respectful of our given roles. We are the shadows that wait on the distant hill, garbed in black and astride mounts, ever patient. We are the shades that stand eternal, clerics of this greater reason.
Gehenna is inevitable. We herald Sosaria and beyond towards that divine day that will bring about Gehenna, the end of all existence, and holy silence.
