Sarapis

Perhaps this is a waste of 1000 gold, but I must ask. Since the
Apostates are proclaiming that strength is #1 and that they seek to be
the strongest and worship the strong while denouncing the weak and so
forth, then why are they wasting their time with a god who is not the
strongest? It would seem to me that if you want to be on the side of
strength then you should be offering your prayers to and giving sermons
about the Logos. To say that one must be all about strength and then not
sing the praises of the Logos, mightiest of all known beings, is like
advocating pacifism above all else in life and turning a blind eye to
Oneiros. It gives the impression of being rather pointless and ignorant.

I suppose the muddled minds of those like Droch would think that the
"weak mortals" in Sarapis' order ought to quit and worship Sartan. There
would be a good example of the credibility of these new zealots who, by
their own admission, are incapable of thinking for themselves. (Yes,
strength apparently is letting someone else do the thinking for you. I
guess there is a special exception made for strength of will and
strength of mind.)

I shall close with an ancient tsol'aan proverb: "It the wise man who
stays his mouth and gives the impression of stupidity rather than to
open it and remove all doubt."


-Dr. Saruman.

Penned by my hand on the 15th of Chronos, in the year 318 AF.
