Gloirin,

Congratulations on your recent enlightenment. I thought it near
impossible for you Nihilist folks, but you've certainly surprised me.
You see, many years ago I served as an Archon of Ashtan. During this
time, I promoted the severing of ties between Ashtan and Mhaldor quite
loudly. Ashtan stands for Freedom (or atleast what they believe to be
Freedom) whilst Mhaldor stands for Oppression. I recall pointing this
out on Ashtan's city channel, to which Gloirin and his Nihilist buddies
replied, "Boo! That's only an ideological difference!". Indeed, Gloirin.

Now, you have managed to open your eyes. Perhaps it was the realization
that Darknight pulled the rug from right underneath your Order, and you
need a change in strategy to reclaim power? Perhaps you have decided to
fight for the Freedom's of Ashtan, as to martyr yourself in her eyes? No
matter the relevance of your motives, I am both captivated and amused by
these sudden declarations. Gloirin, you shall one day realize that what
you view to be "Freedom" has only been a shackle unto yourself, and you
have damned yourself into a continuous cycle of karmic punishments. You
will fall to your knees and sob uncontrollably, for your "individual
freedoms" are merely synonymous with selfishness and contempt for your
fellow mankind. Perhaps someday you shall know the Freedom of a hard
days work, the inner-peace you are granted when you have performed a
duty that gives back to your community.

I shall leave you with this thought
The phrase "Life is meaningless" is a subjective term. You must discover
your purpose, and only then shall your life have meaning.

Sincerely,
Aktillum

Penned by my hand on the 16th of Phaestian, in the year 545 AF.
