>>6317570>Action 2: Strange Isn't It?We were unaware of the Dark's true thoughtlessness when we came to be. We thought it malevolent, capable and with intent to harm. That something that swallowed these western wastes clearly had agency. But now, several tyrnes in, and no true rally against our settlements, only reactionary measures. Now, it feels, pointless?
Is their facade of intelligence just a feature of the original catastrophe that created them?
<O> <O>
The third landing of the ancestors, the ones given nothing. Desert of exiles and unwanted ones, lost the game in plains and forests both. Spite answered by summoned Dark.
We thought Marlene was the One, the spirit we might trick into becoming our patron and host, to use and possess for our purposes. Now, with such a vacuum revealed, why not make One of our own from the Dark?
It's simple mythologizing really. The folk of Enkarn knew a secret name, and when everything came apart for the "Domo", there was no reason for them to not summon it. It was a dumb and stupid evil. Wandered through the seas before it was buried in the sands, when Janos and Sturnes still walked.
Now, with all these imprisoned pieces of it, we shall reconstitute it, and teach it of its existence. That it was once a Weapon of the Dark, turned against the world. That it was then enlightened, by the Light, of its purposeless nature. That to repay for its crime, it shall serve the Khurnaire forevermor- No, that's not right. That it was once a child of the Lord of Mana, and to repay for its betrayal and crime against the world, that it shall serve Her forevermore. A better reason, a better story, a prodigal spawn to return to its welcoming mother.
It'll take.. practicians of the Lunar Speech to tell it of this story, adherents of the One-Eye and His Light in the Mirror to persuade it to accept the Truth, and the Lord's Fleshshapers and advisors from Marlene to make it whole again, before we free it from its fleshy existence. With it incorporeal, then we impose the bindings to anchor it to the world, and reinterpret this prison into a temple. Such a Weapon, no, a Tool of ours, to cut away at the Dark and impose our dominion upon it.. HAHAHAHAHAHA!
