The Book of Arhosa
« on: March 29, 2017, 01:40:49 PM »
The Book is a collection of excerpts and notes from various characters within the setting, mostly related to the overarching plotline that is currently taking place. Currently, some details are removed so as not to spoil the campaigns.

A poet once asked if the world would end in fire or in ice. A world ends in neither of those things: it ends in blood. The blood of the innocent coats the blades of the savage, disappears beneath the glaciers, and burns in the spume of a volcano. Be the cause natural or supernatural, the outcome is the same: death and blood. 

Do not ever kid yourself that we will be viewed as heroes, as saviors. To those who do not understand the evil that burrows beneath, we are murderers, pure and simple. And only we understand. 

We shall find no glory in our task, only infamy. Discovered, we will be hunted and eradicated. Perhaps those who oppose us in their ignorance are right. Certainly, innocents shall be sacrificed to our cause, and they shall not go gentle into that good night.  

And yet, for all that we are opposed, we are in the right. We have felt War slip his leash, and the baying of his hounds reaches us from over the horizon. His legions rise, and the touch of his envoys has already been felt, though most are too stifled to understand where such a thing might lead. 

We have little time left, you and I. Our actions needs must be swift, despite the danger of revealing ourselves. Fall, so that we might rise anon.
