<li>Mages want it because it makes magic stronger - making them capable of doing things they've never been able to do before.</li>

<li>Shar is the “Nightbringer” - one of the beliefs they spread when recruiting is that one must first go through the night (i.e. a time of hardship - a time where a lot of hard and difficult choices must be made for greater purpose - and to create greater prosperity in a new age. An age which they will control, and make sure remains right.) before one reaches the dawn (i.e. before they can bring about their new better reality)</li>

<p><strong>Excerpt from one of their gospels: (I-BL037)</strong></p>
|
||||
<p><i>"Know that your troubles and misfortunes are not simply by chance. Know that your unjust reality is not simply caused by those who have forced it upon you. Yes, they are corrupt - but they are but a product of a far greater crime thrust upon us all. We live in a false age - one unjustly forced upon us by the very deities we all now worship. They have given us a false age. An age where our true potential, where our just rewards - where what we all justly deserved - have been stolen from us. We live in an world where everything we were meant to have - where everything we were meant to become - where everything we were meant to achieve - were stolen from us before we even take our first breath in it.</i></p>
|
||||
<p><i>Empty your heart of falsehoods. Give up on following your hopes, and the promises they give you of success. Quench the light - for it is a falsity. It is a lie. It is in the darkness of night that you'll see the truth. Let the darkest night descend upon our world, so that we may guide it onto a new dawn - to an age that is true. One where the world is as it was supposed to be.</i></p>
|
||||
<p><i>Let secrecy be your shield. It is in the night we must act. It is in the shadows we'll work to bring about our dawn. Many will work against us - for they are blinded by the false and the corrupt. Fear not what must be done. Much will be asked of you. For as the darkest of night comes before the dawn, so too must we traverse Night's darkest paths to reach our dawn. Fear not the darkness. Fear not the night - for Night is our mistress. Let Night's song guide you. Walk Night's path faithfully, and you'll be guided onto our new dawn. Know that whatever terrible deeds that may be asked of you will be worth it. Know that whatever doubts you'll have will be quenched by the first rays of our dawn. We will reach our dawn - a start of a new age. An age that is right. An age where the world is as it was supposed to be. A age where all that was kept from us - all that was stolen from us - will once again belong to us. To all of us.</i></p>
|
||||
<p><i>As sure as night will fall, so will Night's will be done."</i></p>
|
||||
<p>Meanings to different people:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Cabal leader / cleric : Make about an age where people get to the afterlife<ul>
|
||||
<li>Pretty good selling point to get members also: Everyone are damned to an eternity as wandering tortured ghosts - as the way to the afterlife is closed. In the new age, this way will be open again. So you can either serve the Cabal, in order to get an afterlife. Or you can not, and risk damning your soul to an eternity of meaningless, torturous wandering as a ghost trapped between the material plane and the afterlife.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
</li>
|
||||
<li>Mages: Make about an age where magic is more prevalent, letting them accomplish that which they cannot do currently.</li>
|
||||
<li>Kaszin etc: Make about an age where they are given what they believe they justly deserve - for Kaszin this means an age in which he is justly given a more prevalent position in the Wayfarer's Union.</li>

<p> </p>
|
||||
<p>are asked of you in the night will all be worth it at the first rays from our new dawn.</p>
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<p>Empty your heart of falsehood. </p>
|
||||
<p>Give up on following your hope or promises given of success. </p>
|
||||
<p>Quench the light - for it is a falsity. We will create our own dawn, one that is not based on false hope or promises, but one that is true.</p>
|
||||
<p>As sure as night will fall, so will night's will be done. The dark/night is a time to act</p>
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<p> </p>
|
||||
<p>Let secrecy be your shield. We will work in the shadows to bring the world onto a new dawn. Many will work against us, for they serve the false and the corrupt. Much will be asked of you, for just as the darkest night comes before dawn, so to must we walk through the darkest night to reach our new dawn. Fear not the night, for night is our mistress. Let her song guide you, as you walk the path she lays out for you faithfully. Know that whatever terrible deeds are asked of you as you traverse the night will all be worth it to reach our new dawn - to reach a new age for our world, an age which is right. An age that is how the world was intended to be.</p>
