Text

“

The Essence of Existence, Volume One There are some that seek pain, believing that only in suffering can we come close to the Gods. The elves wallow in the deepest of wounds, reliving the pain of wars long past in the belief that they can avoid wrongdoings yet to come. Yet history proves that we are destined to repeat the same errors. What good is a lesson learned if we choose to ignore it? True meaning is not found in pain. Instead, the Gods demand we end life's tumult in the pursuit of pleasure - pleasure of the mind, the body, and the soul.
