He who whiles away at his forge will create many an item, through
perseverance something great might come from the hammer. But make no
mistake these are tools, and like everything they will decay. The tailor
with needles, thead and loom, she may work to craft something, but these
are items for use, and will eventually crumble to dust. Make no mistake,
these are day to day proof of the fate of existance upon a small scale.
Take pride in your works this day crafters, for eventually we shall all
be nothing.

Those who follow the Lord Smith believe that creation will live on so
long as ingenuity, passion and the desire to create in His name is kept
strong, they are working in an illusion. The Mythos itself speaks of the
Chaos outside of Creation, it is the stuff Lord Ayar came from. And as
is the fate of existence, all will return to this, all life, all
creation, all lessons, even the Divine.

So craft as you may, write and teach but open your eyes to the knowledge
of the inevitability and live freer for it. Immortality through your
work is impossible as we shall eventually be one within the pure
potential of Primal Chaos when the Void consumes all.

Regards, Sapience.
