Success and failure, trials and tribulations are inevitable encounters
that we will all meet on our journey through life.

But, it is the choices that we make, that will ultimately define us!

So, choose to see each day as a gift and not as an undeniable right, one
that is so often so easily taken for granted.

It is this paradigm shift that will start you on the first steps of an
amazing experience - an experience of life!

If you aim to cherish each day - everyday - then slowly, but surely, the
things that really matter will gently make their way through the noise
and the chaos and the frenetic pace of life.

You will start seeing that every challenge is an opportunity for growth
and that there really are things worth striving for ... things worth
fighting for, despite setbacks and failure.

You'll choose to nurture companionable friendships, you'll choose to
forgive transgressions and you'll choose to be more tolerant and
accepting.

For it is when you strive to accept, that on most days, most people are
doing the best they can - then it opens up the possibility to fall in
love, to believe and to have faith in a being greater than yourself and
to persevere in reaching for those dreams that may have seemed
impossible.

Time marches on ... steadfast, determined and regardless - accept it -
and then ... live each day like it were your last.

Embrace the success, persevere through the failures and strive for a
life less ordinary - fight for it and insist upon it always.

These are the things that like minded individuals seek to preserve. We
fight to keep the wicked hands of those of Evil and Chaos from
disturbing. Should we falter we fail...but alas we stand United and on
top. No longer with the cold breath on our neck like times passed.

You call us the Qashar... I laugh.

The Qashar -was- a name of an Organization never given a chance to show
what we truly represented. Never a chance to come to our greatest
fruition. Instead, I heard a few times..."Detriment", "Wound on
Society", and even "Plague". Some even went as far to call us
"Terrorists".

Alas...that had ended. We headed our seperate ways.

Some ended up Educators, some students, others became devout to Nature,
while the drive to fight for Creation remained lingering within some.
Together we left behind the past...looking towards new horizons.

I learned there was an impact...for the drive our small Organization
made encouraged strength in Unity of those seeking to help one another
for a "Good", I use the term "Good" loosely as it seems people like to
generalize it. Good is that which seeks to end Oppression,
Extermination, Slavery, Chaos, and detriment to the very world we
cohabitate. From the Forests to the Villages, City-States to
Islands...we all share this land.

When the power shifted those who were once our strongest enemies were
merely a husk of their former selves. Their leadership battered and the
conflict had changed amongst themselves. Ashtan overthrowing its most
loyal Overseer to the very hands of Darkness causing uproar and Civil
conflict amongst themselves. Mhaldors Tyrannus hiding in his chambers
from conflict using his Lords shrines as weapons as opposed to the
former who initiated conflict with an army by her side.

Your Icons lay in Ruin, your Shrines to your Lords and Ladies defeated,
and your cities scarred with defeat...Yet you still call us the Qashar.

We are not the Qashar...we are another word. ENEMIES!

Our numbers grow...young and old united. We need not recruit for you
made our ranks with your years of torment. I suppose I should thank you
for bringing us the will to defeat you.

You're in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of a crowd
seeking the surrender of your destructive ways.

It is a fight between those who will tell you what you cannot do, and
that part of you that knows, and has always known that we are more than
our environment.

That our dream, backed by an unrelenting will to attain it, is truly a
reality with an imminent arrival.

The thunder heard on the horizon will be our boots marching to your
gates. I suggest preparing.

Sincerely,
Fauscht Tav'Elaon
