Now that my time in Mhaldor has drawn to a close, I may look back upon
my years in service to the Twin Lords and consider what that experience
has taught me. If anything can be salvaged from my tenure in the West,
it is that there is only one truth to be gleaned from the Seven espoused
therein--that Evil is a misguided path.

The core ideals of Evil focus upon the gradual progression of sentience,
professing that through enduring Suffering and afflicting Oppression,
you can become strong in body and mind. The Mhaldorians strive for this
ideal state of being that they believe is achieved only through these
tenets. This gradual strength, however, is a delusion. The strong take
what they want now, because they are capable of doing so. There is no
great future for which to prepare. This moment is all that matters.

The average servant of Evil has no way to attain the strength that they
aspire to develop, let alone a method by which they might cultivate that
strength throughout Sapience. The mere act of serving beneath the yoke
of slavery leaves one weaker than any free man. I tell you this: those
who live in the present, whose concerns are here and now, are already
stronger than the asses who pull the cart to carry the agenda of the
Twin Lords.

You may follow the carrot, or you may eat it. The choice is yours.
