Tale of the Circles

Created by Martin Ludwell, edited by Smidgen

It was the Primal that formed first, the Chaos of the Universe, and from It came order, Light was born, then knowledge, Life and Nature came next, from them came Tempest and War, and finally Trickery. This is as it was and all may know it.

Tale of the Circles

Addendum Imperius The Empire believes in The Nine Gods, and follows their edicts. The Empire believes that it is the proper place for all beings. The Empire believes that Truth comes from the Gods and is thus immutable. The Empire believes in its’ citizens. All Citizens are equal, that is the way the Gods have created them, and the Empire supports this. Every Citizen has the power within themself to improve this world. The Gods Placed the firewood there, but each citizen must gather and light it themself. A citizen should be prepared Physically, Mentally, and Morally to fight for the Empire as needed. A citizen must make the best of what equipment they have. The Empire was created to protect the citizens, and it shall stand forever as a wall between the Citizens and their Adversaries. The Empire exists by the rule of doing what is best for the greatest number, and a citizen can, in honor, only reflect this ideal. What a citizen takes from the Gods and Goddesses there will come a reckoning. A citizen must be ready to pay when the Gods call due. Non-citizens must be shown the benefits of being citizens, and encouraged to civilize and become part of the Empire. Those who do not follow the laws of the gods, or Empire, shall not be citizens of the empire until they again follow those laws. Only in service can the soul be cured.
