An Ending

Sapience,

When I was young, the Dark Lord took me in. In the Darkwalkers I found a family that I could never have hoped for when I left Loom Island.

True, I have been citizened to almost every city, and I have belonged to many guilds and houses. I've even had periods where I left my beloved serpenthood.

But in all that time, it was Darkness that remained constant. Even after I left the Order, after Lord Twilight had returned to the En Sof for so long... the Great Work continued on.

This world, this plane; it was created out of Darkness. Darkness itself - once pervading all - contracted itself to make room for something else, and out of this sprang Ayar, the Creator.

The Darkness that was removed was placed into numerous clay vessels, but these vessles couldn't contain the glory of Darkness, and they shattered.

The pieces fell into Creation as motes of sacred darkfire. And thus was the Great Work begun. It is our job to seek out these motes of darkfire, to return them to the En Sof. To make complete again what was splintered for our sakes.

The path of this Great Work is laid out in the sefirotic Tree of Life. Seek out the Darklings, the Darkwalkers, whatever may be left of them, and take up this work.

I am leaving this world now. My time in it has come to an end. I have returned more darkfire to the En Sof than I could have hoped for, but there is still much to do.

From Darkness was I born, and into Darkness I now go. The Great Work continues on.
