- Legion Manifesto Part 1: Purpose.
- Now that we have your attention, the time has come for enlightenment!
Allow me to begin by declaring that words written here are not intended for those who would ask what it is our purpose is, as though they would have such purpose themselves. Yes, indeed, the same mortals who would imply through peasant teeth that they fight for honor (which in itself is as hollow and vague a construct as any to base their fickle lives on), as it is they who wander aimlessly in the void which they occupy gladly. For how can one begin to provide such an answer to questions and satisfy such a person when, truth be told, they could not answer such basic questions themselves? lest providing a preposterous one, of course.
Nay, the futility of the common destiny of Illarion is obvious to any who would pay attention to it. The Gods in their wake bestowed the gems of power upon the mortals and, as history would proudly repeat itself, did leave such responsibility and power in the hands of charlatans who would deny the will of the gods and instead succumb the lands of Illarion to ruin, greed and intellectual poverty. Whilst I do not claim to be an individual who drifts far from such concepts I speak instead as an enlightened messenger of the gods. For it is not ruin by physical destruction that any pious mortal should be concerned about, but the one that grows like the tumor and poisons the minds of our very world.
These are the days in which greed, selfish nature, prideful morale and lackluster mortal instinct have overshadowed basic intuition. Too often the pompous mortals of these lands believe themselves to be able to solve even the most devastating of disasters with wood, stone and steel alone. The Gods recognizing this in their wisdom and glorious nature doth seek to bring a means to an end. I write of course of the end times. Yet, even in the face of such truth, there are those of you who would still linger like the horde of ignorant savages, flailing blindly down pathways set forth unto you that face either a brick wall of stagnation or a dark hole devoid of meaning, which lead thee to such outcomes in the first instance and to the age which we live. An age where mortals have come to believe they can pick and choose which gods they shall worship, as though it were choice!
Don Valerio Guilianni, Rosaline Edwards and Elvaine Morgan. A fine example of those who believe themselves to have 'patron gods'. The three demagogue's who do hold the reigns of your destiny. But why is this so? Through the politics of power and their meat shield devout. These three individuals may offer a comfortable prisons but all should be aware that is all which they be. The knowledge that comes with such enlightenment doth make them seem much less wondrous, though, does it not? Pulling back at the initial question of purpose does provide no answers for these particular mortals. They have already won their power and audience, so why should they provide you with any? Your taxation money doth supply thee with gems, but one would be wise to consider the true cost of your slavery.
So, for those still wondering what it is that our purpose be? Consider that we are legion. We are many. And we are coming!
