There is a touch of patheticness in your fascination with me. Is your own faith so weak that you must protect all of Eleusis from the strength that comes from my devotion?

Through Hardship is His Will endured.

Through Strength is His Will expanded.

So many have asked me how I can be a Druid in Mhaldor, and my answer comes easily. All your speakers of late have claimed that it is only a matter of time before 'we are all returned to Gaia's embrace' as death is supposedly nature's only end.

I, for one, do not wish to lie down and wait for winter to take me. Lord Sartan offers a far better choice in his demand for the relentless evolution and resilience of all sentient life. His First Truth is that we seek, through discipline and pain, to spur the advancement of nothing less than sentient life.

You ask me how I can stand to exist as something so contrary to your view of nature. I ask how you can lie to yourselves that your view of nature is at all accurate.

Lord Sartan asks His followers to embody the values of strength, evolution, adaptation, and continued survival. The survival of any and all that are strong enough to endure. 'Nature' exists only because it has continued to adapt, evolve, endure and survive century after century.

Devotion to the continuance of evolution and strength of all sentient life, regardless of the hardships that must be endured, seems a far more fitting faith for a Druid than the lies and fairytales you tell yourselves.

I bow before no Wildwood "Queen"

Through my acts, let it be seen

That His Dominion shall encompass all things.
