Freedom

Written by: Vastar, the Skylord

Addressed to: Everyone


I have learned much, from both My travels, and the events of the Worldreaver.

Still, I hesitated to act on these lessons. Perhaps Sapience would learn from the terror of Bal'met, of seeing a city sunken and obliterated. Perhaps mortals would learn of their folly as the Pantheon shrunk, one by one, as Divine were slain.

I waited, patiently, for evidence that such events would come to pass. And yet, the lessons of the Worldreaver sunk as quickly as Shallam, buried beneath waves of stupidity.

Sapience has truly proven that the mistakes of the past shall continue to be repeated, an endless cycle of abuse and ignorance.

And so I withdraw your privilege of soaring in the boundless Sky amongst Mine. I withdraw your right to Freedom.

I withdraw that which I am known for. For too long has mortal ignorance stained My realm. For too long have I watched mortal hubris wield Freedom as a shield, as an excuse to cover for their lunacy. Too long have I watched Freedom be twisted, broken, stepped on by heels unworthy of claiming the cause.

And so I remove that hollow excuse from your undeserving lips, never to be used again.

The right to Freedom is one of utopia, of a world unstained by the tread of the ignorant. Freedom is now the goal on the horizon, rather than the excuse to fall back on. Freedom, from this day forth, shall be earned, not given.

My Farethi shall be the heralds to show the way, to educate the interested in having a place to belong in this utopia. The Bastion is the only city approaching this ideal. Through them, I will deliver the truest form of Freedom to the unwashed masses, to ensure they do not desecrate My vision.

Let Chaos reign.
