THE NATURAL EVOLUTION (TNE)

Created: 2003-02-25 09:58:34
Game: unity
Faith: Angelique

Charter

Their faith had let them down, as had the forgotten desire of balancing the wants of their god with the needs of Nature. The greed in the World had been shown for the empty and repugnant moral that it was. Their desire for a well-defined and reborn vision of life in harmony with Nature had caused their faith to warp and wane.

Their desires and visions of life has changed to one of balance and restoration; war has become a tool to acquire more wealth by the powerful only. The menace that grips the realm is one of complete destruction and eventual oblivion. Slowly and Silently the disgruntled warriors have come face to face with a new identity and a new desire to break the chains of destruction and corruption that have devastated the lands...

The Natural Evolution began ages ago, slowly, in a world remembered only in Bard’s songs and scholar's tomes. The slow forming cycle has come about with an unstoppable energy that has consumed, twisted and reformed the warriors bound by it's grip. Unhappy with their brethren's lack of faith they splintered from the others, secretly growing in numbers.... til they felt they were strong enough to make their presence known.

Clouds scuttled across the night sky, first covering, then revealing the new Moon. Gathered in the darkened forest the disgruntled stood quietly talking amongst themselves beneath the outstretched limbs of the ancient trees, their dark green leaves unmoving in the quiet night air. Two hardened and battle scarred figures stepped forward together, the taller of the two raising his hands for silence. Together as one voice the two intoned a ritual of thanks to Nature to begin the meeting.

"Forgive us for the distress we have caused. Your presence is beyond divine and we are blessed by it. Thanks be given, for without Nature we are nothing."

The prayer was brief but conveyed what each of them felt. Sartorious and Virch stood before the group and looked upon each of them in turn. All met their gazes firmly and evenly. Finally one of them spoke. Later some would say that it was Virch's voice that was heard first. Others, would swear that Sartorious was the one. Who spoke first was irrelevant. What mattered were the quiet words that carried through the night air.

"Brethren, time of remembrance has come. Long have we forgotten our roots and strayed from the path of balance. We have all walked away from the righteous and natural path; trod willingly towards our own destruction in a quest for material gain. All for the sake of doing the deeds our god bade us, while ignoring The Call of Nature. No longer! No longer shall we stray and live without balance. Whilst the decrees of god's must be heeded, Nature has no more forgiveness. Balance between the two must be met. There is no other way..." "All must live in harmony between god and Nature. If balance is not conceded willingly it must be taken by force. Nature's inexorable designs shall work alongside Angelique's unrelenting will. All must conform to this standard." "Angelique's call has been heard and will be answered. His despair shall be balanced by Nature's joy. His destruction shall be balanced by Nature's growth. His cleverness shall be balanced by Nature's resoluteness. Just as Wisdom must balance Stupidity, Humor unto Solemnity and Virtue and Righteousness will keep Evil in check. All will be met with balance and delivered unto Angelique and Nature as is fit."

"Just as dawn gives unto day, I, Sartorious pledge to bring the strength of Light and Righteousness to The Natural Evolution. Just as dusk gives unto night, I, Virch, pledge to bring the strength of Evil, Darkness and Despair to The Natural Evolution." "Together we shall form the vanguard of The Natural Evolution. We shall march forth and bring balance unto the world. May Angelique have mercy upon the heathen's souls for surely The Natural Evolution shall have no mercy upon their bodies. From this battle there is No Retreat...

"LET IT BEGIN!!"
