What is Chaos, in the face of the Whirling Force? It bends, perforce, to the Will of Esh-Na-Vhod, the same Will which is instilled within all of creation. It is our choice how we use that Will, so we had best choose wisely. From the perspective of my Will, all else is Chaos. Your will is Chaos, which I will either dominate, or to which I will be forced to submit.
When a Will has dominated another, Law is once again established, for the two Wills have come under alignment, the weaker now serving the greater. All part of the One Will of Esh-Na-Vhod. So, Chaos is nothing but the unassimilated will of lesser beings acting in an unlawful manner, as it has not been brought unto subjugation by its proper master.
Eventually, all things will be brought under the domination of Esh-Na-Vhod, with nothing left unincorporated and the One Will shall be whole. The Work shall be complete. Then, again, the Whirling Force will shatter all of existence, for the One Will must ever seek to dominate. Thus, must it be broken into a near infinite number of pieces. Esh-Na-Vhod will arise from the Chaos and the Whirling Force will begin anew its work of assimilating all of existence into one, with Esh-Na-Vhod, the hidden master, destined to dominate all things.
And one Will shall prove stronger than all others, not to be revealed until the end and the beginning. That Will, may be mine. Or, yours. At the End and the Beginning, shall Esh-Na-Vhod be revealed.
I can see the Twin Temples, built on opposing sides of a chasm, adjoined by a great, wide stone bridge. At the center of the bridge is the Ring of Bones - a perfect circle embedded in the stonework roadway comprised of the Lawgivers bones. Only the faithful can cross this bridge, and even the penitent stride around the Sacred Ring.
ReplyDeleteWe will stand in the circle and read of the Truth until the shadows fade.
There is no Hope without the Will, and there is no Will without the Law.
The Divided God will be whole once more.
A towering display of verbal badassery!
ReplyDeleteCool. Of a more mystical bent than the usual gaming theology.
ReplyDeleteHi guys and thanks for stopping by. I spent a quite a bit of time in my youth, studying a wide range of religious topics. I knew that would come in handy, someday!
ReplyDeleteLove this stuff, James.
ReplyDeleteIs there a compilation in the works?
An 'Alaethian Prayer Book' might be really cool...
