This message is addressed to all of Sapience, in order to clarify the
recent events and hopefully prevent further rumours from developing.

The Lady Demeter is dying. Her sickness is linked to the illness of the
spirit of the Darkenwood. In order to save the Goddess, Nature essence
must be combined with Dark essence, for Urania is a child of Darkness
and Nature both.

The city of Cyrene has refused to co-operate with the escavation
procedure, and is in effect preventing the concerned parties from
retrieving the amulet. Their viewpoint is quite valid. They wish to
prevent their city from being destroyed, and their inhabitants from
being harmed.

Cyrene is a beautiful city, in which many of us will never walk again.
We have had to resort to violence, because time is running dearly short.
Cyrene has made their choice. We must make ours. And as much as I myself
love the lovely city, the child of my Father - Urania- is far more dear,
and in any event the life of a Goddess supercedes that of any mortal
being or street.

Thus, we are forced to attack. We do not fear death. We have, through
much study, been able to develop some knowledge of Qlippah. Normally I
would not address this mystery to the general public, but there have
been some rather speculative rumours. The word 'qlippah' means shell,
and that is precisely what it is. It is an empty husk which contains a
certain idea. A vessel, of sorts, that holds spheres or concepts within
it. The qlippah are neither good nor evil : in the plane of their
existence, such concepts do not exist. They are the materialization of
an unformed thought.

Further information on Dark theology as well as the nature of the
Qlippah can be found by reviewing the public library, available in the
Obelisk of Darkness as well as the Darkenwood. I do not recommend the
darkenwood at the moment, though, for danger of being slain by an undead
bunny.

I further need to state that the undead are a great nuisance to the Dark
Order, and are not controlled by Lord Twilight. It is in fact another
force that is holding the upper hand. We have every reason to believe
this force is the long-trapped Prince Slith.

It has of course been theorized that the actions of some of Cyrene's
more active citizens have been caused by the subtle interference of the
Undead Prince. It is ironic indeed when the city of neutral good finds
itself siding with a dark evil, while the forces of darkness of all
things come out to do battle. But in truth, we all act in what we
perceive as our self interests. I will let you decide which is the truer
one. The life of a Goddess or of a single creature.

For those of you who say,"Find another way!" It cannot be done. If
Demeter dies, Her blood will be on your hands.

For those of you who say "How can we trust anything a Darkie says!",
your stereotypes control you more than the most skilled manipulator ever
could. Judge by what you see, not what you think you know.

These are grave times, and I fear worse is ahead. Do not take this
lightly, and when choosing loyalties, do not do so frivolously.

Daughter of Twilight,
Silverstorm Trismegistus
