If weakness is recognized, changed, and used as a strength, it is no longer a weakness, and as such, has been eliminated, hasn't it?

Damn I'm good.

As my quasi-mentor Raajin has pointed out to me and others before, we mortals aren't really all that different, trying to raise essentially the same things in different ways. In a way it's to bad we'll never get along, because all of our patron Gods hate each other.

Xianty pointed out something very good- never has a warrior ascended. Always it has been the speakers, because here even if you kill their body, their voice lives on. Quite a convincing statement, but there is one thing wrong with the argument.

The peacefull ones may have ascended, but what goes on in the Garden? More politics. Servelan and Elentari may have rarely fought hand to hand, but they sparred with their words constantly. That isn't really peace

Once again I say, peace is beyond the reach of the mortals of sapience. Our patron gods hate each other, and have trapped mortal kind into a vicious cycle from which there can be no escape- we fight for them, with swords, spells, minions of our own, etc., we kill, we die, we are regenerated to fight again. All so that one God can after a thousand years be a little bit ahead of another in essence, and then a third party will seize the chance to enter the realm and profit from it in the same way.

The battle will never end. Peace is beyond us. You followers of Oneiros are allowed to believe whatever you wish as far as I am concerned, but I think you are fooling yourselves standing in your temple in Shastaan while people kill the villagers outside your walls.

Kill the villagers, and offer them to Sartan. I realize what I have to say may not be popular, but then the truth tends to hurt, as we will always be happier telling ourselves that things are the way we want them to be.
