Dear Sapience,
I present to you a completely factual and well-informed dissertation
(insert snrking here) upon things I probably shouldn't be sticking my
nose in. Well nuts to me, I'm doing it anyway!


Ancient Chaos. A concept first urged by the one we know as Lord Babel,
first of the immortals to be created by He who is the Logos. You know,
when He actually was the Logos, and not three halves of a whole. But
somewhere along the line Lord Babel fell into a hell. And thus, Lady
Eris eventually joined us as the patron of all that known as chaos, and
a few bakery sales. Which is perfectly okay. But this is not the point.
Chaos is there. For the most part, we're okay with chaos. After all,
without chaos, things might be pretty dull. And then Greyface would have
a great deal more influence. Most of us are okay with chaos. Except
Shallam. And probably Jaru, but they don't really count. Ashtan
especially embraces this concept to the point of fault for everyone who
isn't Ashtani. If you're not Ashtani, expect to be kicked in the shin,
among other things, in the name of Freedom. Makes sense, doesn't it?
...well, something like that.

Which brings me to calling Shallam HYPOCRITICAL! After all, all the cool
kids are doing it. According to my studies, Shallam can usually be found
having a rousing good time. Yet they discourage chaos, therefore
encouraging a dullardy nature, and therefore encourage Greyface. And
that is bad. Yet we find you have a good time, Shallam! Not a grey time!
You hypocrits!

Now that I feel better, more about chaos. Some of us love chaos. Most of
us are indifferent. A couple here and there are morally opposed to their
deepest roots. And that's okay, the world needs every kind of people. We
loves 'em for it. Maybe. Some studies have shown that Shallam does not
support the Help Tightnessinpants Syndrome Victims Fund. And they gave
my sock puppets to the children. Said it was for their poor little cold
feet, pah.

True Light. A concept urged by...Goldberry. What exactly it was that
caused Goldberry to go off on this maniacal tangent is as of yet
unknown. Perhaps she went insane from Latus' issues, who's to say? Not
Kuntar. The point remains that she has gone a little slightly off-kilter
from the rest of Shallam. They, who are unused to strenuous evil and
chaos bashing activities, couldn't quite get with Goldberry's
revolutionary exercise program. Goldberry was also removed from a
prominent order, which probably caused the snickering of many an enemy
of Goldberry. Of course, should she ever open her mouth upon the public
forums in either the right state of mind, the True Light state of mind,
or anything else, she's ridiculed. Though it's amazing that she can spur
so many advocates of evil and chaos into speaking, it's more than they
usually do.

It seems like these conflicting ideals have a lot to offer each other.
True Light offers an active outlet for Ancient Chaos, and Ancient Chaos
offers a non-grey demeanor to True Light. Thus I propose as such:
Ancient Light. Or maybe True Chaos. Isn't that an oxymoron? Since chaos
is always shifting, isn't it never true? Huh. Not the point. I shall now
use these sock puppets to represent what should obviously be happening
here.

Rainbow Sock: Chaos. Woo. I'm just gonna sit around.
Grey Sock: Chaos! C'mon! Be good! It's the right thing to do! See the
light!

This is the normal state of affairs. This is what should be happening.

Rainbow Sock: True Light, I love you. But it can never be so.
Grey Sock: No! We must be together! Renounce evil, let us be with each
other forever!
Rinabow Sock: Yes! YES! We must! I renounce evil and take you forever,
True Light!
Grey Sock: Chaos! I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!

As you can see, the socks have now engaged in a kissing orgy. This is
most excellent. They should soon morph into a pair of socks. And this
pair is not going to the orphans, it's my last pair. Mismatched too.
So come, Ancient Chaos, True Light, let's see some love from both sides.
It's the right thing to do. Preferrably some hot, alcohol-inspired love.
With oil, and perhaps mud.

I guess the only trick now is trying to find a way to get a good-evil
orgy working. It'll be great. Really.
