An unexpected encounter which led to a yet more unexpexted conversation. I have decided not to delete the out of character parts as they lend the story some good humour. One thing remained unclear - the reason for Marthonis's appearance. Did he feel lonely? Did he need an audience?
Two things are clear - his mind is obviously twisted (it's not for nothing that he acquired the nickname and title of Scoundrel) by his greed for knowledge and the dream of becoming some sort of supreme god, and secondly, it was established beyond doubt that he is well capable of lying - one moment he wanted to trap and destroy the supposedly 'offending' druid, the next moment he was assuring us that the death of the druid was not his wish,,,,
And yet, the seed of doubt has now been planted in our minds - at times he seemed to be wanting to get closer to us but again, who can trust the friendship of the Lord of the Undead?
A final OOC note - I did not register the date of this event by the Oberin calendar, but it took place on 22 August 2009. The text log was kindly provided by my Rebel friend Cris.
One day, many moons ago, I met up in Andris with Rebel friends Gragnog and Cris. We soon decided to take Gragnog's lava spider for a walk around Mirith, and ended up in the Rock Maze, where we were confronted by hostile hill giants who took a strong dislike to our Rebel pet. Needless to say, we formed a united front and retaliated.
Whilst engaged in battle, a figure appeared behind us but, busy as we were with our attacker, even the words "Mora Olsa Preldian" failed to register. I just remember we hastily said hello to the newcomer and quickly returned to battle. However, when our foe was destroyed by an unexpected fireball, we had no option but to turn round and pay attention to our visitor - Marthonis had managed to impose his presence on us.
(Marthonis): I have an ethical question.
(Fuoco): the great Marthonis
(Gragnog): yes
(Cris): shoot
(Fuoco): please go ahead
(Marthonis): I was walkin through the realms of Andris.
(Gragnog): yes
(Fuoco): :)
(Marthonis): I found a trail of blood, and followed it.
(Fuoco): hmm
(Cris): oh
(Gragnog): so far
(Gragnog): good
(Marthonis): I found at the end a druid in pursuit of his art.
(Marthonis): Namely having a spider fight a giant.
(Fuoco): not unusual in those lands
(Cris): that sound normal
(Fuoco): pray continue
(Marthonis): The druid hid from me.
(Marthonis): Completely.
(Gragnog): not normal
(Fuoco): strange
(Marthonis): I revealed him several times, then he vanished.
(Gragnog): why?
(Marthonis): I gave him no cause.
(Fuoco): he may have feared for his life
(Gragnog): or vanished?
(Marthonis): He had no cause.
(Cris): well he must have ID you and is scared of you
(Fuoco): would it be possible
(Marthonis): Should he return to the same location he will be trapped.
(Fuoco): to enquire about the name of the druid in question?
(Marthonis): And destroyed.
(Marthonis): But I am not sure this is the correct response.
(Fuoco): did it happen a very short time ago?
(Marthonis): He is quite clearly mentally deficient.
(Fuoco): oh dear
(Fuoco): I am at a loss as to what to say here sir
(Gragnog): may he be a young druid?
(Marthonis): He had tamed a lava spider.
(Gragnog): unused to proper etiquette
(Fuoco): I did spot a new druid earlier
(Fuoco): cannot recollect the name now
(Gragnog): true
(Gragnog): he must know better
(Fuoco): never seen him before near Andris
(Cris): Marthonis what was your intention?
(Marthonis): I have no desire for his death.
(Fuoco): I wonder if he might be the druid
(Fuoco): have you got a message for us?
(Marthonis): Save that he would not respond to communication.
(Fuoco): difficult to establish why
(Gragnog): could he be known as Madolick?
(Marthonis): It would be simpler to take you there.
(Cris): clearly you need something from the Druid
(Fuoco): no it was not Madolic
(Marthonis): * Mora Olsen Preldian *
At that moment, we were whisked away from the Rock Maze and found ourselves back in Andris, on the beach close to the land of the giants. Here we were surrounded by a number of creatures, including the undead, whilst the sea was festered with sea serpents. Marthonis helped us clear the invasion, and for a while nothing but the sounds of battle was to be heard.
(Gragnog): will he appear?
(Cris): he's got a problem
(Marthonis): It is possible.
(Gragnog): do we know his name?
(Marthonis): He did not speak to me.
(Gragnog): is there something we could do for you?
(Marthonis): Not in any real manner.
(Fuoco): well
(Fuoco): the fact that he vanished
(Fuoco): points to some knowledge of your identity
(Marthonis): Very poor knowledge.
(Cris): mmm
(Marthonis): I hardly kill everyone I see.
(Fuoco): what is your idea sir?
(Marthonis): Do you believe I kill on sight?
(Fuoco): I do believe that if you do is with a reason
(Marthonis): Do you believe I have no more ambition in existence than murder?
(Fuoco): I cannot picture you as a random killer
(Marthonis): Of course it is with a reason.
(Marthonis): And that reason is most usually that the person I kill wishes me dead.
(Fuoco): *smiles*
(Marthonis): It is not hard to come by corpses in this world.
(Fuoco): indeed
(Cris): if that is true
(Cris): why do they die?
(Fuoco): We are Rebels sir
(Fuoco): mainly concerned with hunts
(Marthonis): Who?
(Fuoco): just a guild :)
(Gragnog): :)
(Fuoco): we help where needed but are really not involved in politics
(Cris): very friendly indeed
(Cris): will help anyone in need of assistance
(Marthonis): Morality is a complicated issue.
(Fuoco): *feels urge to call one of the ss Priscilla*
(Gragnog): why priscilla?
(Cris): Morality is a personal issue
(Fuoco): well I had a vision
(Fuoco): but never mind
(Gragnog): morality comes from ethics
(Marthonis): I would contend that many seek to extend their own morality over others.
(Fuoco): I believe that flexibility is a must
(Cris): thats true
(Marthonis): Ethics and morality are married.
(Gragnog): i agree
(Fuoco): Do not have much patience generally with those who pontificate
(Gragnog): sir
(Marthonis): Perhaps pontification is a weakness of mine.
(Gragnog): i must plead ignorance
(Gragnog): what is pontification please
(Fuoco): I have not got the pleasure of knowing a lot about you sir
(Fuoco): All I know is that in the past
(Fuoco): at some stage
(Fuoco): there was talk of you wanting to take possession of Marali
(Fuoco): that is the extent of my knowledge I am afraid to say
(Marthonis): Not entirely without cause.
(Gragnog): i am making nourish potion
(Marthonis): Pontification is, essentially lecturing.
(Gragnog): would you like one sir?
(Fuoco): indeed
(Marthonis): With perhaps, an agenda.
(Fuoco): agrees so far
(Marthonis): And insofar as that is true, it is something I have done.
(Cris): Marthonis what is your agenda?
(Fuoco): *bows*
(Gragnog): *bows*
(Marthonis): Knowledge.
(Gragnog): all knowledge?
(Marthonis): In essence, yes.
(Fuoco): or some particular source of knowledge?
(Marthonis): All knowledge.
(Cris): Well thats a good Agenda
(Fuoco): Knowledge is power
(Gragnog): to gain all knowledge could take more than one lifetime
(Fuoco): it's how you use knowledge that matters
(Marthonis): One of the reasons I began where I did.
(Cris): What do you intend to do with the Knowledge?
(Marthonis): To be perfectly honest... I would simply know it.
(Fuoco): *smiles*
(Gragnog): that is interesting
(Gragnog): just to know it
(Fuoco): You have been absent for quite a while
(Gragnog): and not to use it
(Cris): Knowledge is Power
(Marthonis): Absence is merely lack of notice.
(Cris): Why do you need such power
(Fuoco): true
(Gragnog): *nods*
(Fuoco): by that I meant I have heard no talk
(Marthonis): There is little need for me.
(Marthonis): The Void is under observation.
(Fuoco): on your part?
(Marthonis): Its foothold has dwindled.
(Marthonis): It is incongruous.
(Fuoco): The Void
(Fuoco): such a grey vague term
(Marthonis): It is what lies on the far side of the rift.
(Marthonis): The rift that is now silent.
(Fuoco): and yet frightening because of its unfathomable greyness
(Marthonis): I am aware that a powerful gaper still resides here.
(Fuoco): why is there a void?
(Gragnog): I must beg your leave sir
(Fuoco): what is the reason for it?
(Gragnog): i have duties to attend to
(Marthonis): * Mora Olsa Preldian *
(Fuoco): what is the void?
(Marthonis): A very complicated realm.
(Fuoco): has it got a purpose?
(Marthonis): I have not yet fully learnt of its nature.
(Fuoco): ah
(Fuoco): hence your statement about observation
(Marthonis): But in a way, it is the inverse of Creation.
(Marthonis): Whether you believe in God, or Gods, or nothing... there is creation.
(Marthonis): That within which we live.
(Fuoco): is it there to teach us something?
(Marthonis): I do not believe so.
(Fuoco): maybe just to make us feel aware of our fragility
(Marthonis): All I have yet determined is that it is somehow linked to creation.
(Marthonis): And malevolent to it.
(Fuoco): so the evil side of nature
(Fuoco): live nature
(Cris): Marthonis why did you bring us here?
(Marthonis): Or an unintended reflection.
(Marthonis): Do deal with this man.
(Fuoco): the distorted mirror
(Marthonis): The vanisher.
(Marthonis): * bol flas *
(Marthonis): * bol flas *
(Shadran Mathas): * bol flas *
(Shadran Mathas): * flas bur des *
(Marthonis): * shel rel bol *
(Marthonis): * flas bur des *
(Shadran Mathas): Hail
(Fuoco): greetings fellow wizard
(Marthonis): Good morning.
(Cris): Greetings
(Shadran Mathas): *bows to Marthonis*
(Fuoco): well
(Fuoco): you will keep any knwoeldge or rather discovery of the void for yourself I guess
(Fuoco): where do we fit in?
(Fuoco): what is our role?
(Marthonis): That depends entirely on whether it presents a threat to us that I cannot remove alone.
(Fuoco): are you willing to share any knowledge?
(Marthonis): I will be, if necessary.
(Fuoco): *bows*
(Fuoco): and any messages to the vanished druid?
(Marthonis): My purpose is not to be killed by a chaotic entity bent on destruction.
(Marthonis): He should not have run.
(Fuoco): I think that is shared with many ^^
(Cris): he may have reason to run
(Fuoco): unfortunately we cannot account for the actions of one man
(Marthonis): Running provokes chasing in the predatory creatures.
(Marthonis): Humans no less.
(Fuoco): (brb - need to loot fridge)
(Marthonis): He had no reason to run, I had no intention of killing him.
(Fuoco): pray Marthonis
(Fuoco): what were your words to him?
(Cris): He may not know this
(Marthonis): 'I have already won. Therefore you have no need to hide.'
(Fuoco): *bows*
(Shadran Mathas): *Examins the magical field of flame*
(Fuoco): may you see the light
(Cris): Won? What did you win?
(Fuoco): (brb)
(Marthonis): I won be being present.
(Shadran Mathas): *grins*
(Marthonis): I do not need to kill anyone to win.
(Fuoco): Marthonis
(Cris): thats a bit over confident
(Marthonis): If you oppose me here, I have won.
(Fuoco): this is indeed a first strange encounter with you
At this stage, an extremely puzzled Mandek made an appearance - he was the 'offending' druid.
(Mandek): !!
(Fuoco): ah Mandek :)
(Marthonis): There is no point in fighting when the outcome is assured.
(Marthonis): There he is.
(Mandek): uhh
(Marthonis): * Mora Olsa Preldian *
(Mandek): ok...
(Shadran Mathas): Familliar words....
(Mandek): ummm, can I go?
(Fuoco): Mandek what happened?
(Marthonis): I have no desire to see you dead.
(Mandek): i had to log off cuz my dad needed me
(Fuoco): ^^
(Mandek): :)
(Mandek): who made this? (here Mandek points at the fires on the beach)
(Fuoco): Marthonis
(Marthonis): You are a powerful wizard, Fuoco, but the Harvest is long done.
(Fuoco): it seems there was no need to get upset
(Shadran Mathas): Harvest?
(Fuoco): the young druid was called off by duty
(Fuoco): and no disrespect to you
(Marthonis): That makes very little sense.
(Mandek): * ber flas *
(Fuoco): I am not that powerful Marthonis
(Fuoco): I am well aware of my weakness
(Fuoco): My powers are very limited
(Fuoco): and whatever is in my power
(Marthonis): You are both strong.
(Fuoco): I do tend to use for the benefit of others
(Fuoco): wherever possible
(Fuoco): as well as protecting myself of course
(Fuoco): what will you do next?
(Marthonis): The same thing I do every day.
(Fuoco): Cris dear come away from the water's edge
(Fuoco): you make me feel nervous
(Marthonis): Study, learn.
(Shadran Mathas): *remains silent*
(Fuoco): well
(Marthonis): I have no desire to take over the world.
(Fuoco): in all honesty
(Marthonis): Not unless I have to.
(Fuoco): I will have to rummage all these fragments in my mind
(Fuoco): I wish to try and understand
(Shadran Mathas): *cracks a faint smile*
(Fuoco): but have not got much to work on
(Marthonis): Apart from the Timeless I am possibly the most powerful wizard in existence.
(Fuoco): I would not question that
(Shadran Mathas): And by Timeless you mean Seth?
(Marthonis): You have finally learnt?
(Fuoco): *smiles*
(Fuoco): *casts a quick look at her friend*
(Shadran Mathas): *remains impassive*
(Marthonis): I wish to understand.
(Shadran Mathas): What have you learned Fuoco?
(Fuoco): So Seth is the Timeless?
(Marthonis): To understand everything.
(Shadran Mathas): *shrugs*
(Fuoco): I am gathrering fragments Shadran
(Shadran Mathas): It was a guess only.
(Fuoco): My knowledge is scarce I am sorry to say
(Fuoco): I am still trying to fathom the reason for Marthonis' presence
(Shadran Mathas): Hmm.
(Fuoco): I know of course of his power
(Fuoco): I do not know about his motivations
(Fuoco): so I listen
(Marthonis): Mere omniscience.
(Shadran Mathas): To gain knowledge of his craft.
(Fuoco): Marthonis is one of us
(Fuoco): a wixard
(Shadran Mathas): yes I know.
(Fuoco): wizard*
(Katiya): Greetings Marthonis
(Shadran Mathas): Morgoth knew of him...
(Marthonis): Good morning.
(Fuoco): * bol flas *
(Katiya): thanks fuoco
(Marthonis): Fast.
(Shadran Mathas): And that is how I know of him.
(Fuoco): most welcome
(Fuoco): Shadran you are possibly the most knowledgeable of us
(Marthonis): *ahem*
(Shadran Mathas): Nay...
(Fuoco): I shall listen
(Shadran Mathas): HE is.
(Katiya): that would be marthonis Fuoco
(Fuoco): well except for Marthonis of course
(Fuoco): I mean the spectators
(Katiya): eh heh
(Marthonis): Life is not a game.
(Marthonis): There are no spectators.
(Cris): not at all
(Marthonis): Conversely death features some.
(Cris): *agree*
(Cris): \
(Fuoco): there are Marthonis
(Fuoco): there are those who act
(Fuoco): and those who watch
(Marthonis): Observeration changes the thing observed.
(Cris): *watching*
(Katiya): and what is life worth if you dont have fun with it?
(Fuoco): I guess everybody is driven to action at some stage or other
(Marthonis): An ancient rule of magic.
(Shadran Mathas): *writes that rule in a small black book*
(Fuoco): Life is a combination of drama and comedy
(Marthonis): And no one can truly watch without acting in their whole life.
(Marthonis): A single word in the right place could change the course of history.
(Fuoco): and anything in between
(Shadran Mathas): *nods* very true.
(Marthonis): All are players in the cosmic game.
(Marthonis): However far away they place themselves.
(Shadran Mathas): Or pawns....
(Fuoco): by using the word players you admit to a game Marthonis
(Marthonis): The action of a pawn may change the board entirely.
(Katiya): *nods in agreement with Fuoco*
(Marthonis): It is a commonly used metaphor.
(Fuoco): I am sure even a humble pawn can have some consequences
(Fuoco): they say even a hair has its shadow
(Katiya): a beggar can change a wealthy mans life with nothing but a word
(Marthonis): It does.
(Fuoco): Marthonis
(Fuoco): how do you stand
(Fuoco): at this moment in time
(Marthonis): Nothing that exists is without its consequence.
(Fuoco): towards the people of these lands?
(Marthonis): If they do not interfere with me I have no desire to interfere with them.
(Fuoco): how do they concern you?
(Fuoco): well
(Katiya): *ahem*
(Fuoco): you said the word interfere
(Cris): But yet you interfere with them
(Fuoco): tht means you plan some action
(Fuoco): is this to the detriment of the population?
(Marthonis): The population seems self-sustaining.
(Fuoco): history must have taught you
(Cris): you show wisdom and understanding
(Fuoco): that were there is a tyrant there is rebellion
(Cris): that is good
(Marthonis): Humanity appears incredibly resilient.
(Fuoco): they must preserve the species
(Fuoco): they will fight out of necessity
(Katiya): i wonder, and pardon me if this is out of place but, why are you here marthonis?
(Marthonis): At the worst you would assume I wish to create an unstoppable army of the undead.
(Marthonis): Have you ever considered what would happen to the undead if they won?
(Fuoco): well it would be a very grey world indeed
(Marthonis): Self-extinction.
(Fuoco): what intelligence do the undead boast?
(Katiya): *sigh*
(Marthonis): They can be exceptionally intelligent.
(Shadran Mathas): *nods*
(Marthonis): The human brain is fascinating.
(Fuoco): how would they apply their intelligence to a possible victory?
(Marthonis): In what context?
(Fuoco): how would they handle the lands?
(Marthonis): They would fail.
(Fuoco): I fear so
(Marthonis): They have no need for sustenance.
(Fuoco): that would leave a desert
(Marthonis): And no ability to reproduce alone.
(Cris): Im curious about the undead that was here on arival?
(Fuoco): a grey useless army
(Marthonis): Exactly.
(Cris): who put them here?
(Fuoco): wth no real purpose
(Marthonis): I did.
(Marthonis): I was aggravated.
(Cris): ah so you command the undead?
(Marthonis): Yes.
(Cris): intresting
(Fuoco): why the undead Marthonis?
(Marthonis): They are a tool.
(Shadran Mathas): *nods*
(Fuoco): that I can see
(Marthonis): Thay are a means.
(Shadran Mathas): They will not question only act.
(Marthonis): And since many people oppose my philosophies it is a wise precaution to have an army.
(Shadran Mathas): never tire never hunger..
(Cris): I assume you are human in full form
(Marthonis): Correct.
(Fuoco): but would Marthonis be happy to be surrounded by such grey shadows?
(Marthonis): Although I have anticipated the need to change that.
(Marthonis): Of course not.
(Fuoco): an army like that would not alleviate solitude
(Marthonis): Indeed.
(Fuoco): Nobody wants to be emperor of the void
(Daystra): * pur *
(Shadran Mathas): * bol flas *
(Fuoco): greetings Siladain
(Siladain): Greetings Fuoco
(Fuoco): Shadran
(Shadran Mathas): Hmm?
(Fuoco): you are very silent my friend
(Marthonis): If I found the undead stimulating I would have no reason to speak with you.
(Leiland): Meow!
(Fuoco): well I am glad you are aware of that Marthonis
(Marthonis): Some of my creations are capable of thought, understanding, conversation.
(Shadran Mathas): I am silent because I am learning.
(Fuoco): *nods*
(Shadran Mathas): (and because I do not know why Marthonis is here)
(Cris): * clar bur bol *
(Marthonis): But only a true rebirth into death seems to become a real person.
(Daystra): uhm
(Cris): * pur *
(Daystra): * clar bur bol *
(Fuoco): death is a dark experience indeed
(Cris): testing
(Daystra): * clar bur bol *
(Shadran Mathas): In Death lies all strength?
(Marthonis): Much lies in life.
(Fuoco): I do not think so
(Marthonis): Life is simpler.
(Fuoco): I think it is just awareness
(Daystra): hmm...
(Marthonis): The truth of existence lies in death.
(Marthonis): Is there a soul? Is there God?
(Cris): there is
(Shadran Mathas): *grins*
(Fuoco): because you can see the other half, so to speak, of existence?
(Leiland): prove it
(Marthonis): These concepts lie beyond mortality.
(Leiland): ^^
(Cris): your presence
(Leiland): Scientific ^^
(Cris): not all is scientific
(Leiland): You dont wanna have this conversation with me
(Leiland): (Religious RL)
(Mandek): zZz
(Cris): not religious
(Marthonis): Whatever the truth is, it must be determined.
(Shadran Mathas): *nods*
(Cris): its about live and a creation
(Leiland): why?
(Leiland): you cant prove or disprove
(Leiland): so why struggle
(Marthonis): That is entirely what I intend to do.
(Leiland): accept one or the other
(Leiland): whatever makes you happier and go with it
(Mandek): *yawn* ok bye
(Fuoco): bye
(Fuoco): well
(Fuoco): I do believe that life ends with death
(Marthonis): The fundamental understanding of existence is the only goal I can see.
(Marthonis): I am a necromancer.
(Leiland): Ludicrous, Meaning of life is to find a path, religious or not and follow it.
(Marthonis): I am quite aware that it does not.
(Leiland): not to find out what the meaning of life is
(Leiland): cause your looking for an animate object
(Leiland): which is of course preposterous
(Marthonis): I am not looking for an animate object.
(Marthonis): I am looking for the truth.
(Shadran Mathas): Life does not end with Death, Death is just another journey.
(Leiland): yes but to find it in finite space with 100% knowledge of what you behold it has to be animate
(Leiland): otherwise you cant prove or disprove
(Leiland): therefore
(Marthonis): I have no intention of remaining finite.
(Leiland): its impossible to prove either point
(Shadran Mathas): Ahh.
(Shadran Mathas): You wish to be Immortal?
(Marthonis): I am the Lord of the Dead.
(Leiland): *hits Shad* he wishes to be a god
(Shadran Mathas): *grins*
(Leiland): thats what infinaite means
(Leiland): infinite*
(Shadran Mathas): *bows low to Marthonis*
(Marthonis): I chose the field that would give me enough time to learn everything.
(Leiland): Huh?
(Cris): Every thing is energy in one form or the other
(Cris): even life
(Leiland): but being a god...
(Leiland): wheres the fun in that
(Marthonis): I wish to learn.
(Cris): control and power
(Leiland): if you know everything then there is no way to learn
(Marthonis): And there is no need.
(Shadran Mathas): Think on this Marthonis, What will you do when you know all?
(Leiland): and that is what being a god is
(Marthonis): Then I will be complete.
(Leiland): and then what
(Leiland): thats like finding the end of the stars
(Marthonis): I may decide to stay as that, I may decide I no longer need to exist.
(Marthonis): I cannot say yet.
(Shadran Mathas): *nods*
(Leiland): well i think to become a god you become everything
(Leiland): so you wont exist as a god anyways
(Fuoco): god of what?
(Leiland): you will dissapear into the cosmos
(Leiland): becoming everything
(Leiland): same as in death
(Leiland): two different journeys
(Leiland): same outcome
(Fuoco): if you become everything
(Marthonis): It is completion.
(Fuoco): you are either self contained or very lonely
(Marthonis): In any manner.
(Leiland): so your saying you want to die, without dying?
(Fuoco): greetings Gawr
(Gawr): *nods*
(Marthonis): Every being born will die.
(Leiland): *brain has fizzled*
(Cris): Greetings Gawr
(Shadran Mathas): We are dying since the second we are born.
(Marthonis): I wish to complete my existence rather than merely endure it.
(Fuoco): birth and death are very much part of nature as we know it
(Leiland): yes... i believe everything is one and the same
(Leiland): i beleive god is everything, its the mechanics of life
(Fuoco): everything has a beginning and an end, to use a cliche
(Leiland): so in part you are a small fraction of an eternal creation
(Marthonis): I am well on my way to far more than that.
(Leiland): more then everything...
(Shadran Mathas): Hmm...
(Shadran Mathas): Interesting....
(Leiland): there is no more...
(Fuoco): (begs to be excused again for a moment)
(Shadran Mathas): (Leiland you know Marthonis is a q-char correct)
(Leiland): (yes)
(Shadran Mathas): (ok)
(Marthonis): Life is a beginning.
(Marthonis): To become a lich is a continuation.
(Marthonis): I do not look forward to it.
(Leiland): O.O oh dear me
(Marthonis): But that is another step towards what you may call a god.
(Leiland): *listens*
(Marthonis): The fundamental concept is consciousness.
(Fuoco): Marthonis
(Marthonis): Fuoco?
(Fuoco): do you see the void as a mock of creation?
(Fuoco): some sort of distorted mirror?
(Marthonis): From what I have learnt it appears against it.
(Fuoco): so the void has been created to try and destroy life?
(Marthonis): For such a complex concept, entity perhaps, it is a simple explanation.
(Marthonis): But correct, enough.
(Leiland): *puts up hand* so lichs are void of conscience?
(Shadran Mathas): So the void is the essence of anti-creation?
(Marthonis): The Void has clear influence in this world to create its own.
(Marthonis): I could create a lich.
(Fuoco): liches are an abomination
(Marthonis): No more so than any undead.
(Fuoco): their thirst for death is sickening
(Shadran Mathas): Some would call mankind an abomination.....
(Fuoco): I guess you are right Shadran
(Leiland): *hit*
(Marthonis): I think he is.
(Leiland): I am perfect
(Fuoco): there are many points of view
(Shadran Mathas): Do not strike me fool....
(Shadran Mathas): You would die...
(Leiland): *poke*

(Marthonis): A very old dichotomy, and obselete.

(Fiera): how is it obsolete?
(Marthonis): You will learn.

Fascinating read... definitely gives me a new perspective on Marthonis, of whom I've never heard much good. Maybe my mind is too open when something interests me, but I am beginning to hope we so more of Marthonis in the future.
((Also...maybe I'm just crazy but...
(Marthonis): The same thing I do every day.
....
(Marthonis): I have no desire to take over the world.
Half-baked Pinky and the Brain reference, anyone...?))

Ok a few things. I know there are people who do not try to force their morality on others. This is because the wise know that different people have different moralities, and that, if they have survived for many years on it, then they will survive on it for many years more. Secondly, if Marthonis wants to complete his existence, rather than endure it, then he should try to die as quickly as possible, for i imagine one would get quite bored living for eternity for a while, with nothing to learn as you have learnt it all, and nothing to do, as you have done it all. Lastly, i do not believe the world is just black or white, or even grey. I believe the world is made up of colours. Life IS complicated, but only to the extent that you make it to be. If you see the world in colours, yes, you will see life is complicated, but that there are times when it CAN be uncomplicated, and carefree. Thankyou for listening to what i have had to say.
Regards,
Dracilus
