Some Corrections, Again

To Elyon, and Elyon alone this time,

A few corrections for you, sans your own writing to pad my post size. First, claiming that Imyrr's defection from the Cult is 'recent' is a very, very generous use of the word, considering that he left around 550 AF.

Second, I won't bother trying to educate you on Ashtan's government. What I will do, however, is extend yet another reminder to you about what precisely Nihilism is since you refuse to approach me directly about it.

We are not ushers for the End. There is no point in trying to rush the inevitable, just as one cannot toil to make the sun rise any faster than the movement of space allows. We do not know when it will be, and so naturally we throw care to the wind, because nothing matters when the End is nigh, right?

Except that's not quite true. You see, when nothing matters, everything matters. Every choice you make ripples through the finite sea of Time before dispersing against the wall of Oblivion waiting just beyond the breathless Outer Cold. So why not seek Ascension? Why not assert your Dominion over Creation and treat with the Chaos Lords of old? What's the worst that can happen when the End will always be there as the great equaliser? Just something for you to consider, hopefully in the privacy of your own mind this time.

And I'm changing the locks. Twice.

In service,
Eoka Nithilar-Tarxun, Priestess of Ruin

Penned by my hand on the 22nd of Daedalan, in the year 916 AF.
