Q: Where did the world come from?
A: Before time began, Kelestia was born in an instant of great cosmic strife and upheaval. The only ones that awoke from amid the nothingness were the First Gods, and they were strong. All were equal in potency, for whosoever was stronger by one measure possessed a weakness by another. Discovering they possessed great ability to create magnificent things, they imagined beings to serve them, and it was so. These Lesser Gods then created a multitude of worlds to strive and dwell amongst. The weaknesses of the First Gods were uncovered and many were obliterated, thus freeing the Lesser Gods from their prior constraints. The Lesser Gods, in turn, created still more things, beasts, mankind and unspeakable demons, all to serve them as they had once served the First Gods. When the remaining First Gods learned of this, they were full of wrath and created New Gods to bring the Lesser Gods and their minions under control.
A: You were created to serve Agrik, and only Agrik, the greatest and most powerful of all the gods. The natural order, that has existed from the very beginning, dictates that the strong shall rule the weak and the weak shall serve the strong. If it had not been for Agrik, the Lessor Gods like Ilvir would never have achieved their current status. As Agrik is the most powerful god, all other beings are rightfully his slaves.
A: You are here solely to serve Agrik! As the natural order decrees that Agrik is the Lord of All, it is our duty to extend his dominion over all within our limited sphere of influence. We shall be judged upon how we have conducted his business. Remember the parable of the Worlds: Agrik gave to three of his V'hir dominion over worlds: 10 to one, 5 to another, and 1 to the last and sent them into a world. Eons later Agrik called them to account, the first returned having doubled the number of worlds that had been brought to the light, and was rewarded. The second also doubled the number of worlds and was also rewarded. The third V'hir had maintained the world given to him, and said to our Lord "I knew you to be a hard but just Lord, and thus I have maintained with zeal the world you gave into my keeping". Agrik threw him out of Balanshang and remade him as a snake, crying "You foul and unfaithful servant. You have wasted what I gave into your trust." Thus, do we abhor snakes to this day.
A: You shall be judged by how well you have increase the order of Agrik which you serve, that is by how strong have been, and how you have worked in his service. You must strive continually to bring all others under the dominion of Agrik. Remember the End Justifies Any Means.
Q: What of the other gods? Tell me the truth about...
A: Halea- The Lady of Bargains is a merchant and Agrik is a Lord. Her dealings are beneath the notice of the Lord of All. She has taken the natural state of the universe and attempts to subvert it with her meaningless strictures and words. Her followers have lost sight of the true meaning of strength, which entitles one to power over others. Money and drugs are only minor tools - what really matters is courage, strength of will and intelligence. Money and drugs only corrupt these - abhor them except as tools to further the dominion of our Lord.
Ilvir- Ilvir is rightly known as the Craven Lord. He has no courage. He and his followers are to be despised for the spineless worms that they are. But, should you require contact with their ilk, beware, for unlike Halea, Ilvir cares not about the words or intent of agreements. Ilvir of all gods will be the next to acknowledge our Lord. Weak he is, and weaker he will be.
Larani- It would be easy to admire the Lady warrior if it were not for her spurning of our Lord and lack of acknowledgement of his overlordship. Instead of allying herself with our Lord and bringing to the universe back to its natural order, she obstructs the order at every turning. This allows the continued existance of such abhorrences as Siem and Naveh. Larani must be taught that she cannot deny the Lordship of Agrik, and the consequences of defying him. It is proper that these lessons be taught to any and all followers of the Bitch of Dolithor. It is not enough that they be killed, they must be taught their folly, and forced to acknowledge our Lord.
Morgath- Unable to face the fact that Agrik is his natural Lord, Morgath sought artificial means to make himself more powerful than he had been made. Thus, he found the Bukri, a power that he was not meant to wield. Instead of making himself more powerful, he has become a minion of the Bukri. The power of the Bukri rightfully belongs to Agrik since only he is mighty enough to control and manipulate it. Followers of Morgath need not be outright opposed, as the power they feed to the Bukri and Morgath, himself, will become Agrik's in due time. However, they must be constrained as is appropriate to their true place as servants of Agrik.
Naveh- Naveh is a thief and assassin and should be treated as such. While his methods are sanctioned if they further the cause of our Lord, Naveh is an abhorrence since he refuses to acknowledge the Lordship of Agrik. His followers should be crushed whenever and wherever they are in opposition to us. Thievery and assassination are the tools of the weak. Since it is the natural right of the strong to take from the weak what they wish, anything his adherents possess are by right yours. Followers of Naveh may be tolerated while they weaken his opponents, but must be taught who their true Lord is if they oppose us. Taught lingeringly and tenderly using all of the 10,000 ways.
Peoni- Although she is the speaker for the weak she is not weak herself. Peoni is to be despised for she has decided to cast aside her natural rank as one of the chief of our Lord's Barons. Great could be her place, but she has spurned the natural order of the universe and strives endlessly in a futile battle against it. Still, where she does no harm, the followers of Peoni are safely ignored in favour of more determined enemies. Indeed, the followers of Peoni can make useful, though dull, servants of their betters. When the day comes that the other gods are forced to acknowledge Agrik's rightful place, then so to will Peoni. Indeed, it must not be forgotten that she healed our Lord when he had been unjustly attacked by the Bitch of Dolithor.
Sarajin- A barbarous god for a horde of barbarians. This upstart styles himself after Agrik, but lacks the drive and dedication to make himself acknowledged under the natural order, instead he prattles on about the Ljarl. Like Larani he is dangerous, but when his teachings and followers are exposed to sophisticated thought, it is apparent how false are his teachings. Battle is not honourable in and of itself, but merely a means of determining the natural order. It is true however that the "great struggle of Sarajin" is coming, and in that struggle he will lose and be forced to acknowledge Agrik.
Save K'nor- Although in general of little use, Save K'nor at least does not oppose our Lord. But neither does he in all his supposed wisdom recognize the natural order of the universe and thus Agrik's right of rulership over it. Save K'nor continually strives to discover some other underlying principle that will negate what has been the rule of the universe from the beginning. And it is suspected that he hides and disguises evidence favourable to Agrik. Where this can be found it must be uncovered and brought to the light, so that the unnatural balance that now exists will be corrected and once more flow as it should.
Siem- A leader of the Lessor Gods, he and his abominations (elves and dwarves) are in their twilight years. Although Siem will not admit in public it is clear that he has no stomach for opposing Agrik's true Lordship. A god of the fleeting moment, although his creations are long-lived they were ill made and have not withstood the test of time. Treat Siem and his offspring as you would an elderly servant - use them where they are useful and put them out of your misery where they are not.
