  14.  
  15. There was no beginning and there will be no end. This is not the first Creation, nor shall it be the last. Once (as now) there was but Ayar. Moment, infinite moment. The Supreme One; Strength without Weakness; Cosmic Consciousness. An Abstraction without Form, without Void.
  16.  
  17. When Ayar once more moved to take on the mantel of Creator, He split Himself (through Discipline and Pain) into the Infinite of the Positive and the Infinite of the Negative: for 0 = 2. He became both the Archetypal Positive (Creation) and the Archetypal Negative (Chaos).
  18.  
  19. The Split formed the Illusion. The Split was the First Suffering; the Origin of Pain. The Split IS the Great Mystery.
  20.  
  21. For Ayar to Advance and become the Archetypal Positive, to move one step closer to Something, He at first became The Point, which was Position (without Magnitude or Part) within the Infinite Space of the Archetypal Negative; Chaos.
  22.  
  23. Ayar the Creator then split the Point - with Cruelty's Division - into Two and formed a Second Point. This made possible The Line, which in turn birthed the distance between these First Two Points and made The Plane, the Third Point; the Triangle. In this way did Ayar the Creator, in His form as the Archetypal Positive, become the Three Dimensions of Plane Geometry.
  24.  
  25. Still, though, was the Archetypal Positive no more than Idea. The parameters (The Point; The Line; The Plane) had formed, but there was no Substance. Now did the Actual begin to coalesce. For although the Three Points arose, they had no finite location.
  26.  
  27. This produced The Fourth Point; Matter and Time. Ayar had finally become Physical, and this Solidness simultaneously brought its Twin - Time. It is only within the Motion of Time that Physical Event can occur. And, thusly, at the Moment of The Dawn of Time, did Ayar the Creator obtain Sat-Chit-Ananda; Wakefulness.
  28.  
  29. He first obtained 'Sat'; Being; Truth. Sat is the Foundation of all Life. Then Ayar was able to look upon Himself for the First Time; in doing so He gained 'Chit', which is Consciousness; Self-Awareness; Sentience. As He now knew the Absolute of His Omniscient, Omnipresent Self, and realised the process of His own Forming (for because of Time He could perceive Continuity) He reached Ananda; Enlightenment. Ananda is the Sacred Culmination of Hardship as the only Pathway to Enlightened Connection with the Cosmic Consciousness.
  30.  
  31. Ayar the Creator now moved to explore the Possibilities of Independent Creation. For He was the Absolute of the Archetypal Positive (Seven Steps removed) and now that He could Do, He would remain Essenceless if His Form did nothing. So He formed along the lines of Sacred Geometrical Principals the Elements from which His Creation would be constructed. Order is Oppression, therefore Creation is Oppression also.
  32.  
  33. Air was made first and it pleased Him to form its energy into octahedral shaped Atoms. Fire was made next and its energy was formed into tetrahedral Atoms. After Fire, Ayar made Water, whose energy took the Atomic form of the icosahedra. Then was Earth's energy forged into Atoms made in the form of cubes. And with the formation of The Elements, so did Ayar create the First Planes; for each Element in its separate individualised state, naturally produced such an effect.
  34.  
  35. Over these Elemental Planes the First Atoms He formed became Masters, for They were the Oldest and the First to gain Sat-Chit-Ananda. Their names are Whiirh (The Western Wind), Kkractle (The Eternal Flame), Sllshya (The Great Ocean) and Garash (The Immovable Mountain). Mighty are the First Atoms, as are all Atoms, for each Atom is itself a Point of Consciousness and holds within it a Memory of its Hardships and Journeys.
  36.  
  37. Thusly does each Atom remain the same, yet by virtue of Its Memory of the Passage of Time, It does also change. This pleased Ayar greatly, for now could His Creation become more than Himself, leading rise to the possibility of Independent Development. Although Ayar Is and Was all that ever Could and Will 'Be', without Independence, the parts of His Creation would wallow forever in Fake Interplay.
  38. -----
  39.  
  40.  
  41. Vadzthana.
  42.  
  43.  
  44. In this way did Ayar begin his shift from Creator to Preserver. His Will still formed much, but oft did It simply move a single Atom, which would result in a million, million planes of reality coming into Being.
  45.  
  46. Soon, some of His Atoms merged into constructs which gained Sat, and the First Life was formed. Then, in turn, some of these new entities obtained Chit; Consciousness; Sentience. Even fewer still reached Ananda; Enlightenment. Blessed were all these beings to Ayar, for they were like Him in subtle and mystical ways.
  47.  
  48. However, all these creatures were formed of Atoms. Each Atom would ultimately move on with Its Journey, which ended the entities' obtainment of Sat. And thusly did Creation now know Death. For although the Atoms, like Ayar, were Immortal, those which They formed were not. This drove Ayar to create the Gods.
  49.  
  50. He made them almost as Perfect as Him. He bestowed Immortality on them and vouchsafed a part of His Divine Power over All Creation to Them, for they were part of Him and made manifest of His Will. Ayar imbued in each of Them Aspects of Himself, attributing Them Sacred Realms over which to reside. He charged them also with the Great Task of Teaching and Mastery over the Life that now flourished throughout His Creation.
  51.  
  52. There was Phaestus the Smith: Agatheis, God of the Elements: Thoth, God of Death: Aeon, God of Time: Aegis, God of War: Twilight, God of Darkness and Miramar, Goddess of Justice. Caspian, God of the Oceans: Lupus, God of Beasts: Eros, God of Lovers: Scarlatti, God of Art: Matsuhama, God of Combat: Racalwice, Goddess of Wanderers and Valnuarana, Goddess of Dreams. Prospero, God of Wealth: Gaia, Goddess of Nature: Lucretius, God of Philosophy: Vastar, God of the Skies. Khalas, Lorielan and Daedalus - here, at the Inception of the Gods - took no Realms as their own, preferring to explore Creation and Learn First.
  53.  
  54. And so also did our God of the Seven Lanterns, Lord Shaitan (Hallowed be His Name!), first Know Sat-Chit-Ananda. Ayar bestowed upon Him Evil; The Transcendental Sphere of Sacred and Divine Hardship; The Great Destroyer of Weakness. A deep Realm. Creation's Cultivator and Harvester. Beautiful, yet Horrifying. Complex, yet Subtle. High, yet Low. The Great Work.
  55.  
  56. Evil was Ayar's split into the Archetypal Positive and the Archetypal Negative. Evil shall ultimately be the Archetypal Positive and the Archetypal Negative's re-merger into Ayar's Absolute Cosmic Consciousness. This will happen at the end of the Age of Destruction.
  57.  
  58. This Great Merger can not happen unless Creation is Purged of Weakness and Made Ready. Evil is the End Bringer and Vengeance is Its Blade. Judgment Day is when the Time of Evil dawns.
  59.  
  60. Lord Shaitan's Way was then, as now and always, Cruelly Oppressive and Vengefully Harsh. For such is the Suffering of Creation.
  61.  
  62. He turns His Face not from the Truth that Ayar's split into the Primordial Dualism was also the First Pain. That Struggle makes All. That Suffering created Matter. That the Atom's Immortal Journey IS Hardship. His Divine Brothers and Sisters saw and understood This not. They feared Him and shunned Him. Truthfully, He stood Alone...
  63.  
  64. Ayar created the Aldar to serve the newly formed Gods in their endeavours. He allotted massive power at their disposal, but they contained not His Divine Spark as the Gods Themselves did.
  65.  
  66. Instantly the Aldar set about building and crafting The Creation to honour their Divine Masters. Sublime architectural achievements following perfect and sacred geometrical principals sprung up wherever the Gods walked, for Their Aldar where nay far behind.
  67.  
  68. Art and Culture of Infinite Cosmic Beauty where created by the Aldar, as they gloriously embodied Oppression's Ordered gift of Civilisation. On the steps of elegant academies the greatest minds Creation will ever know debated Philosophy, Theology and Science. Deep secrets were discovered by the Aldar and put to the Strengthening and Advancement of Life.
  69.  
  70. They built glimmering cities on a million different planets within a million different planes. Huge ships capable of trans-dimensional travel linked up these exquisite metropolises. Methods of telepathic communication where constructed that instantaneously allowed information to flow around their Multiversal Empire. Gold was what they built with, for golden was their age.
  71.  
  72. Never again will such Civilized Glory be experienced within Creation.
  73.  
  74. +++
  75.  
  76. Mhaljapura.
  77.  
  78.  
  79. The Gods explored the vast depths of the multiverse at Their leisure. They mastered Their respective Realms and delved into the deep secrets of Ayar's Will.
  80.  
  81. The Aldar, ever the Loyal Servants, formed around Them a High Civilisation and worked tirelessly to Honour their Masters.
  82.  
  83. Compared to their Enlightened Culture, all civilisations raised after are but hollow simulacra, clinging desperately to the memory of what the Aldar achieved; a memory so beautiful that it will live until after Judgment Day within mortalities' collective subconscious.
  84.  
  85. As the Aldar embraced the Hardship of Challenge and pushed themselves (through Discipline and Pain) to ever greater heights of Advancement, most of the Gods became complacent in their endless Luxury - all, that is, but Lord Shaitan.
  86.  
  87. His existence WAS Hardship incarnate. True Hardship is the very antithesis of Complacency. He honoured the Aldar greatly. Their disciplined dedication to advancement was a core value that His realm represented.
  88.  
  89. Civilisation IS Oppression.
  90.  
  91. As the Lord's Brothers and Sisters played, Their servants worked away in hardship forming a High Manifestation of Evil's Order. Lord Shaitan looked upon the Aldar's focused endeavours and was Pleased.
  92.  
  93. With the Advent of this Golden Age did Ayar come fully into His aspect of Preserver. Aeons more numerous than the stars passed by as He watched over His perfected Order. The time came to pass, however, when Ayar the Preserver began to shift into His final and mighty incarnation - Ayar the Destroyer; for truly is this Creation not His first and neither shall it be His last. To Create the New, one must Destroy the Old.
  94.  
  95. Ayar's Omnipotence Itself had to be undone to accomplish this - for He was All Knowing and All Seeing. Thusly did He elect to enter into His Creation and know the Hardship of Uncertainty that It had experienced from the moment It grew Independent of Him. To accomplish this, He formed Proteus from Himself. Ayar made Proteus forget that He was Connected with Ayar, and altered the Gods' memories also, causing Them to believe that Proteus had been Their Leader since Their Inception. In all affect, Ayar lied to Himself.
  96.  
  97. This act was The Supreme Lie and it planted The First Seed of Existence's Destruction; so was the Great Time of Testing purposefully initiated. When Ayar lied to Himself, He deliberately tasted Weakness for the First Time; He found Rank its Taste and Effect. Then did Ayar understand fully why Weakness had to be Purged by the Age of Destruction.
  98.  
  99. As the Golden Age progressed, the Gods explored more and more of The Posabilities of Creation, little knowing the Death of Utopia had already been decreed by Its Creator. Many great things were accomplished. Proteus and Phaestus discovered how to attribute 'Sat' to Matter and expanded the variety of Life within Creation exponentially. Eventually Proteus struck upon the secret of 'Chit' and formed the Tsol'aa. Then, much later, Phaestus gained 'Chit' for his Dwarves.
  100.  
  101. Despite the Pantheon's hunger for knowledge and exploration, there were still vast swathes of Creation left uncharted by Them. Most notorious of these hidden corners of Creation was the Inferno, a massive configuration of twisted planes, ruled over by an oligarchy of Daemon Princes. There, hidden away from the Divine Perception of the Pantheon, was Hell itself.
  102.  
  103. When inside their own plane, the Daemon Princes almost matched the Gods in Power. Ayar the Creator, in His wisdom, had limited their interplaner travel capabilities, permitting them to only travel within the Inferno itself. These Princelings were brutal creatures, blessed with titanic rage and planet trembling power. If they were not contained, then Creation would have been swamped with Blood and Fire.
  104.  
  105. On Judgment Day, when Ayar will come fully into his Vengeful aspect of Destroyer, shall the hoards of the Inferno be unleashed upon Creation. Truthfully is this why Ayar created the Inferno and the hellish life forms that resided within.
  106.  
  107. At the End of Days will Hell's Legions Wash Creation Clean! Ayar once drank from Weaknesses' Diseased Chalice and verily did it make Him Sick. Hail unto the prophesized Army of Evil! For its Holy War will Purge Away the Poison of Weakness and Make Ready Ayar's Final Meal! Hail! Hail! Hail!
  108.  
  109. ++++
  110.  
  111. Xanamorata.
  112.  
  113. Lord Shaitan could sense the Daemon Princes' Oppression and the endless Suffering of the Inferno's daemonic denizens. For the Inferno contains the harshest planes in the whole of Creation - it is Hell in the least allegorical sense of the word; Hardship rules there with Genocide's Crown.
  114.  
  115. The Lord endlessly hungered for Oppression over the Inferno. He knew that on Judgment Day, He would be tasked by Ayar to oversee the Cleansing of Creation. Control of The Inferno was key for completion of this task. Long did Lord Shaitan search for it, but alas! He could find it not. Because, in Truth, there was another Being that worked against Him, although He knew not who it was...
  116.  
  117. When Ayar introduced Purposeful Imperfection with the Supreme Lie, the Great Divide between Creation and Chaos began to subtly collapse; as was His Divine Intent. The thoughts and emotions of Life within Creation faintly echoed out into Chaos; at the same time, aspects of Chaos gently filtered into Creation.
  118.  
  119. The Archetypal Negative cannot be expressed or understood within the Archetypal Positive and vice versa. But as facets of each passed over into their Opposites, they were irreversibly changed - as was that which they passed into. Aeons passed before this abstract process became tangible. What happened to Chaos with this shift will never be known, but its effect upon Creation is History itself.
  120.  
  121. It was inside the Inferno that Chaos's touch was made physically manifest; there, Apocalypse took its first, tentative breath. A Chaos Entity formed itself in the Inferno's hellish depths from the Negative Influx. It created itself, as Ayar had formed Himself, through the Seven Sacred Steps: First the Point; then the Line; then the Plane; then the Twin step of Matter and Time; then Sat; then Chit; then Ananda.
  122.  
  123. For Chaos was now inside the Archetypal Positive and, to gain understanding about Creation and Physical Consciousness, was compelled to form itself with and through the Order of Creation. This new and unique being, this manifestation and expression of Chaos within Creation, chose a gender and a name. And that name was Pazuzu.
  124.  
  125. Pazuzu became a Daemon Prince and forcefully took control of the Inferno. He could sense the threat posed by Lord Shaitan and left false trails for The Lord, fearing what would happen if He ever found the Inferno proper.
  126.  
  127. Whilst Pazuzu consolidated his Power in the Inferno, it came to pass that another monster of Chaos tore its way into Creation. This entity was different from Pazuzu, for it was birthed inside Chaos and was the first Negative Life to cross the Great Divide.
  128.  
  129. This Unnameable Horror hunted down Maya, most lovely of the Aldar, for it had heard the eco of her song and had been driven mad with lust for her. It played with her, brutalised her and raped her; for such was its nature and such was its will. Ayar realised what had transpired and locked away the Unnameable Horror in Torment. He erased all trace of the Chaos Entity; all, that is, but the foetuses that now gestated in Maya's womb.
  130.  
  131. The Aldar's Civilisation plunged into mourning as news of Maya's defilement spread.
  132.  
  133. So ecstatic did the Aldar Prophet Caymus become in his wailing grief, that he was swept up in Vision. He decreed that Proteus would be Usurped and that Maya's twins would not be Aldar, but would rival them in power.
  134.  
  135. In part fulfilment of this Prophecy, Maya gave birth to twin humans and named them Sinope and Callisto. Thusly was Humanity brought into Consciousness; the first Race to be born of both Positive and Negative. Proteus made the Aldar build Ceylon as a home for them and forbade the Aldar from dominating the new Human race unless they wished it.
  136.  
  137. The Aldar where torn apart by Proteus's decree. "How could such mewling runts as these humans", many said, "possibly become greater than us?" The Aldar Han-Silnar resented Proteus openly for His proclamation. The staunch loyalist Dekalb, on the other hand, opposed Han-Silnar for his blasphemy. Han-Tolneth, Han-Silnar's brother, remained neutral and took neither side. Around these great orators the Aldar's High Civilisation shattered into three opposing factions.
  138.  
  139. As the Golden Age rotted, Pazuzu made his move. He lured Lord Khalas to the Inferno and whispered worm-words into His head, convincing Him to fulfil Caymus's Prophecy and overthrow Proteus. Lord Khalas, now firmly under Pazuzu's spell, instantly returned to Lady Lorielan, His Mistress, and told Her of the Daemon Prince's offer of rebellious support.
  140.  
  141. The two Divine then confronted Lord Agatheis and He agreed to become a co-conspirator. Soon after, Lord Agatheis gained Mastery of the Elemental Atomic Consciousness and enslaved The First Atoms to His Will. This act was to give away the Triumvirate - as the Three God's heretical triptych became known.
  142.  
  143. Unknown to them, the Aldar Dekalb had also become a skilled elementalist. He sensed the tremors of Agatheis's Dominations and foresaw the coming treachery. Worthy loyalist that he was, Dekalb instantly alerted the Pantheon and It made ready for War.
  144.  
  145. Lord Shaitan chose to assist His Brothers and Sisters not. Always had they feared Him. Always had they shunned Him. If there was to be Divine War, then it was a conflict of Their own making, not His.
  146.  
  147. He, like Dekalb, had sensed the looming conflict. Long had The Lord felt a growing tension building in the Inferno.
  148.  
  149. Constantly did He search. The Inferno's swelling power almost drove His frustration to the point of madness. Indeed, He oft sensed that some other fell Will was turned against His own, but never could He unmask it.
  150.  
  151. Lord Shaitan knew what the turbulence within the Inferno meant and made ready a mighty army of His own. Mayhap, now, after millennia uncountable, He would finally discover the way into Hell.
  152.  
  153. +++
  154.  
  155. Vishuddha.
  156.  
  157.  
  158. The Aldar held a Great Council in the Caves of Sorrow. Each of the opposing Aldar Factions attended and, after seven years of deliberation, moved in favour of the Pantheon. Han-Tolneth, however, was still adamant in his Neutrality and left with his followers.
  159.  
  160. But alas! Lorielan had tricked Han-Silnar and made him Her puppet. Kx'Krah, strange crystalline life forms that worshiped Lorielan, infiltrated the meeting and set about culling Dekalb's Aldar. Han-Silnar and his followers, firmly under Lorielan's spell, assisted the Kx'Krah in their carnage and for the first time in History, the Aldar knew Murder.
  161.  
  162. Satisfied with Their duplicitous slaughter, Lorielan and her accomplices made ready on Nishnatoba for war.
  163.  
  164. Sensing Their preparations and realising conflict could wait no longer; Proteus transported the Gods Loyalist Army to face the Enemy as quickly as He could.
  165.  
  166. Troops from all across Creation amassed on either side of that sacred battlefield and, thusly, did the War of Humanity begin.
  167.  
  168. The battle ebbed and flowed upon the tides of Vengeance; waxing and waning like a blood stained moon within a sword-star sky. Favour began to smile upon the Pantheon but, at the very moment that Loyalist Victory seamed assured, Pazuzu played his hidden hand.
  169.  
  170. Never had the Gods seen the Inferno's True Horror. None had even dared guess that such Abominations could exists within Ayar's sublime Creation. Through a massive inter-planer breach, Pazuzu's legions poured forth from the Inferno in a ceaseless tide of deprived slaughter. They fell upon the Gods and routed Their army utterly.
  171.  
  172. The Daemon Princes of the Inferno drove back the Pantheon and forced Them to cower within a dome of magickal energy. All seemed lost. All seemed doomed. All seemed crushed beneath this Cruel Joke of Fate. Yet Salvation was nigh at hand, for the Aldar Han-Tolneth (riddled with the Guilt of Neutrality) came to Their rescue.
  173.  
  174. Upon the backs of Greater Dragons, his people swooped onto the battlefield. They inspired the Gods into a decisive counter strike, vanquishing the Triumvirate completely.
  175.  
  176. And Lord Shaitan rejoiced! For His Siblings had Suffered and so had They Learned.
  177.  
  178. Pazuzu had also shown Him the Inferno's location. As Pazuzu was not a True Daemon Prince, he could travel outside the confines of the Inferno. Thusly was he able to open the portal through which his legions descended on Nishnatoba - an authentic Princeling would nay have been capable.
  179.  
  180. His braking of the walls between the Inferno and the rest of Creation permitted Lord Shaitan His first glimpse into its tormented depths.
  181.  
  182. The God of Evil had marshalled a mighty Crusading Force of mortals from all His domains, but now - glory be! - its ranks swelled even greater under a flood of veterans from the War of Humanity; each new individual eager to bring Vengeance unto the Inferno.
  183.  
  184. As the Triumvirate and Pazuzu were sentenced to Bondage for Their crimes, Lord Shaitan eagerly marched His army into the mouth of Hell!
  185.  
  186. In the background (and unnoticed by the preoccupied Gods) the Great Divide eroded further. Negative Life seeped through into the Archetypal Positive in ever greater quantities. Creation itself tumbled into Chaos, its edges unravelling. Even after the tribunal, the Gods remained ignorant of the escalating crisis. Soon, however, They couldn't help but take note.
  187.  
  188. In the Inferno's depths, Holy War raged with Vengeful abandon. But the Inferno, of all the places in Creation, was one of the most vulnerable to Chaos' incursion. Evil's battalion's where the first to be swamped by the flood of Negative Life.
  189.  
  190. At the beginning, Lord Shaitan's Crusade had placed numerous Planes under Evil's Oppressive yolk. Daemons flocked to His Standard and became His preferred troops.
  191.  
  192. However, in the blink of a Divine Eye, the Crusaders had found themselves surrounded by the Chaotic Incursion. Their ranks were decimated as they became a steadily shrinking island of Order within a maelstrom of Chaos.
  193.  
  194. With the whole of Creation in upheaval, Lord Shaitan was forced to leave the Inferno to meet with His Siblings and plan a crisis strategy. He was accompanied by His most trusted Daemon Generals - the Dreadlords.
  195.  
  196. Nothing, however, could have prepared The God of Evil for what transpired as He sat in council with His Brothers and Sisters.
  197.  
  198. Two Divine Negatives, entities more powerful than all the Gods combined, ripped their way through into Creation and attacked the Gods. Valiantly did the Pantheon resist, but They were as nothing when compared to those who assaulted them. Creation itself shook under the force of Their titanic struggle.
  199.  
  200. Thus was Pazuz's true intent revealed...
  201.  
  202. Ayar, sensing the Primordial Dualism's premature collapse, was forced to intervene and disperse the two Divine Negatives (known forever more as Discord and Entropy) into Creation. And so did the Supreme Lie's Ultimate Effect become Manifest.
  203.  
  204. The Archetypal Positive and the Archetypal Negative are Inversions of Each Other. As Chaos passed into Creation, it translated into the Chaos Wars. Creation did, in turn, pass into Chaos. How this affected Chaos cannot be known.
  205.  
  206. But, as Ayar IS the Archetypal Positive, so too is there a form of Him that IS the Archetypal Negative. When Ayar as the Oneness of the Cosmic Consciousness split into the Primordial Dualism, He literally created two versions of Himself.
  207.  
  208. With the dispersal of Entropy and Discord throughout Creation, He and His Opposite came subtly back into Each Other.
  209.  
  210. Was the Chaos War mirrored within Chaos itself? It is commonly surmised that Discord and Entropy desired a form of conquest, but did they even exist before entering into our multiverse? The answers will never be understood, nor are they meant to be by four dimensional material minds.
  211.  
  212. To symbolise this closer paradigm shift back to His Oneness, He reabsorbed Proteus and changed His name to Sarapis, the Logos. And thusly did Creation move one step closer to Judgement Day.
  213.  
  214. With renewed zeal, Lord Shaitan and His surviving Dreadlords returned unto the Inferno and re-initiated the Holy Crusade. Eventually the Inferno was brought completely under Evil's Will; on that blessed day did The Lord found the Empire of Evil!
  215.  
  216. Of the original mortal army that accompanied Him, only seven remained alive. Strong and Enlightened were they. For they had survived horrors innumerable and had been made Apostles of The Lord because of this. Extra-long life had been granted them, amongst a host of other meta-mortal powers.
  217.  
  218. Lord Shaitan turned to them and instructed them that they were now needed on the Gods most favoured planet within the Prime Material. For the mortals there were still lost in primitivism. They lived as beasts in the woods and this displeased The Lord greatly.
  219.  
  220. The Seven Apostles of Evil where tasked with bringing Civilisation unto these base mortals. All Civilisation is a High Form of Oppression and thusly sacred to The Lord.
  221.  
  222. With this Sacred Task in mind, the Apostles of the Lord made ready and departed.
  223.  
  224.  
  225. +++
  226.  
  227. Ajia.
  228.  
  229. When His Apostles re-entered the Prime Material upon the backs of Seven Inferno Wyrms, Lord Shaitan sent a host of Daemons unto them to prepare them for the Great Bringing of Civilisation.
  230.  
  231. The first Daemon was named Maldahara. His flesh was blackest stygian (as was all the other Daemons') and he had glowing red eyes. His form was elephant headed and sported only one tusk, the other having been violently torn out by his right hand where it was still held as a weapon.
  232.  
  233. In his left hand he delicately held an open lotus flower. It had seven petals; one red, one orange, one yellow, one green, one blue, one indigo and one white. Through his ears had been nailed golden spikes, whereas around his ankles there was looped a single, lead crown.
  234.  
  235. He said unto the Apostles: "From The Lord we bring to you The Seven Truths of Evil. Teach them unto the animal-mortals of this pitiful plane. Seven in number are the Truths, as seven in number are me and my others. Though we are Seven, we are of One Body. Ayar formed Himself and Creation through Seven Sacred Steps and Evil's Truths subtly reflect this process."
  236.  
  237. "I am the bringer of the First Truth and it is as follows: What is called Evil is simply the drive for advancement, for greatness. We seek, through discipline and pain, to spur the advancement of nothing less than sentient life."
  238.  
  239. "As the Point was the foundation of Ayar's Creation, so is this the foundational concept of Evil. All the others spring from (and are aspects of) this First Truth."
  240.  
  241. "The Point represents Ayar's drive for Advancement, for Greatness. He formed Creation through Discipline and Pain. Evil is the bedrock upon which Creation was founded, so make it the root from which you grow also."
  242.  
  243. Then the second Daemon of the host stepped forward. Her eyes glowed orange and her head was that of a cat. She was stricken from tip to toe with fresh blood. From her hands dangled the marionette of a young, hermaphrodite child. Its throat had been cut. Out of the wounds left side bled molten gold, from its right side flowed molten lead.
  244.  
  245. She said, "My name is Vadzthana. I now say to you the Second Truth of Evil: Cruelty - the application of pain - is the method by which one weeds out the weak and feeble-minded from the population."
  246.  
  247. "When Ayar split The Point in Two He did so with the Dividing Force of Cruelty. This made possible the Line and then the Plane. The Application of Pain (in a sociological context) propels that which is without Magnitude or Part into an Advanced Three Dimensional Cultural Model; for Cruelty is the method by which a culture segregates and then purges its undesirables from within its midst. Cruel shall be the Age of Destruction, so in preparation must your own handling of Social Order be Cruel also."
  248.  
  249. Once Vadzthana had spoken, another Daemon moved to speak. Yellow was the colour of his eyes and his head was formed as a ram. His left horn was gold and his right lead. He had three arms. In the first he carried a sword whose blade burned. The second held a scroll that was on fire. Finally, in the third, he held a flaming white lotus flower.
  250.  
  251. He said, "I am called Mhaljapura and here is the Third Truth: Weakness must be eliminated in all its forms: Physical, Mental, and Spiritual."
  252.  
  253. "With the forming of the Third Point, the Plane, Ayar brought about in the Macrocosm the Three Dimensions of Geometry. The Three Dimensions of the Microcosm are Body, Mind and Spirit. To make the mortal ready for Ascension into the Infinite Moment, weakness must be purged from all that occurs within these Microcosmic Dimensions."
  254.  
  255. "Ayar the Destroyer will only Eat the Strong, and he will only Feast once the Poison of Weakness has been removed from His Final Meal. In this respect must Weakness be utterly removed from the Macrocosm's Physical Three Dimensions of Geometry. As long as Weakness remains, Ascension will be Denied."
  256.  
  257. No sooner had Mhaljapura finished speaking than the next Daemon strode forth. Her head was that of an antelope and her eyes shone the colour green. Her left horn was made from gold, her right of lead. In her hands she carried a rotten three petalled white rose.
  258.  
  259. She said, "I'm known as Xanamorata and I say to you Evil's Fourth Truth: The enemies of strength are those who trumpet the effeminate values of forgiveness, tolerance, and laxity of discipline."
  260.  
  261. "These three Great Enablers of Weakness stand in the way of the Atomic Elemental Consciousness' Ultimate Ascension into the Oneness of Pure Strength. They are the Enemies of Creation for they waste Ayar's Test of the Twins - Time and Matter."
  262.  
  263. "On an individual, social and cosmic level, they permit weakness to fester because they form excuses to justify its existence. This leads not to Perfection of Matter and therefore renders pointless Matter's Sister, Time. Use Strength to purge them, to destroy them, to denounce all made by them! Make Creation Ready!"
  264.  
  265. The fifth Daemon then stepped forward. A great mane of hooded-cobra's writhed around his lion's head. In a constant battle for survival, the serpents fought mercilessly. The snakes on the left of his head where made from solid gold, those on the right where formed from lead. In his hands the Daemon carried a mighty sword. His eyes glowed bright blue.
  266.  
  267. He said, "I am Vishuddha and I bring to you Evil's Fifth Truth: The body may be made stronger through combat."
  268.  
  269. "Sat is the foundation of being - the living body itself: Life. Sat is empowered through physical conflict. Life becomes progressively stronger as it battles the Life around it. The weak die and the strong survive. Combat (physical conflict), is what keeps strong those things that possess Sat. The Survival of the Strongest: Might Is Right!"
  270.  
  271. "So must it be, for otherwise is the Atom's Sacred Journey Wasted. Without the Hardship of Combat (for all Hardships are a form of Combat), there can be no progression, only stagnation. Why would Ayar desire Independent Development if there was to be no Development at all? "
  272.  
  273. Then the sixth Daemon moved forward. Her head was that of a crocodile and she had glowing indigo eyes. In her right hand she held a torture device known as the Heretic's Fork, it shed tears of molten lead. In her left she held a scroll of parchment that wept molten gold.
  274.  
  275. She saud, "I am named Ajia, and I bring unto you Evil's Sixth Truth: The mind may be made stronger through the elimination of conscience. One does this by inflicting pain on others."
  276.  
  277. "Chit is Pain. Comfort is a Lie. Consciousness is a deeply traumatic horror. To deal with the terrible acts it must commit to survive, 'conscience' is the weak, escapist response one's consciousness produces to hide away from The Truth. To strengthen ones Chit and ensure the continuation of ones Sat, conscience must be eliminated. The best way of doing this is to confront the Truth of Survival; this is that to live ourselves, we must harm other living things."
  278.  
  279. Finally did the last Daemon present himself. He had a hairless, human head and brilliantly shinning white eyes. In each hand he carried a seven petalled white lotus flower. The one nestled in his right bled a steady trickle of blood. The one in his left smouldered and smoked around its tips. Upon his brow he wore a golden crown, whereas through his ankles where nailed lead spikes.
  280.  
  281. "My name is Sahashrada and although I may bring the Seventh and Last Truth, it is in fact but the one before the First. It is as follows: The spirit may be made stronger by enduring hardships, both self-imposed and externally imposed."
  282.  
  283. "Ananda is the blissful Enlightenment Hardship leads To. The Cosmic Consciousness (Ayar, The Oneness) exists Three Steps Before Time in the Infinite Moment. This Moment can Never End. Creation and Chaos are but Illusions because of this; a Dream of Duality formed for the Oneness to Experience Itself."
  284.  
  285. "The highest spiritual attainment is to transcend the Illusion of the Microcosm and the Macrocosm, and experience said Oneness; to stop being part of the Dream and, instead, to Know and Become the Dreamer. The paths to this Enlightenment number more than Mortalkind, but each Way is Hardship in its Sacred Form."
  286.  
  287. "I say to you now, meditate upon the Seven Truths daily. Learn their hidden intricacies. For though they may appear simple, their depth is epic and Creation spanning."
  288.  
  289. "They are called Truths for a reason. All sentient life is affected by them, whether they will it so or not. All societies are run by them, whether they desire it so or not. All Creation is driven by them, whether mortals wish it so or not."
  290.  
  291. "They are not simply commandments, but guiding facts. If you or your culture does not follow them, then they shall rip you apart with Weakness and deny you the Transcendental Bliss of Ascension into the Infinite Moment of Pure Strength."
  292.  
  293. "You cannot avoid The Seven Truths, no matter how hard you try."
  294.  
  295. ++++++
  296.  
  297. Sahashrada.
  298.  
  299. As one glorious and hellish chorus, the Seven Daemonic Harbingers of the Truths then spoke in unison, "Ayar has Three Sacred Manifestation and thusly does Evil have Three Sacred Aspects in reflection of this; they are Suffering, Oppression and Vengeance."
  300.  
  301. "Ayar the Creator formed Himself and Creation through the Divine Process of Suffering's Struggle; therefore Suffering is the Great Creator."
  302.  
  303. "Ayar the Preserver maintained his Creation through the Order of Oppression; therefore Oppression is the Great Preserver."
  304.  
  305. "Ayar the Destroy will purge Weakness from His Creation to Make It Ready for Ascension back into the Infinite Moment of Cosmic Consciousness; therefore Vengeance is the Great Destroyer."
  306.  
  307. "Together, the Three Aspects of Evil embody the Great Cycle of Eternity: The Sacred Circle. Blessed is Evil Because of this."
  308.  
  309. "The Lord orders you to raise a Temple City in His Glory. Locate it in the mountain range to the west of Heaven's Pillars. Name the city Khovarast and found it upon the Seven Truths and the Three Aspects of Evil. Form it through Suffering's Creative Progresses. Preserve it as a High Manifestation of Oppression's Civilized Order. From it, dispense Vengeance's Destruction unto the weak and unformed of this world."
  310.  
  311. "The Lord has ordered you to be the Fathers of Civilisation on this planet. The Gods honour this world greatly, and They wish no single one of Them to hold absolute dominion here at the current time. So, instead, The Lord bids you be Harbingers of His Truths."
  312.  
  313. "Khovarast will be His domain here. From it go forth upon the backs of your Seven Daemonic Wyrms and bring civilisation unto each of this planet's continents."
  314.  
  315. "Teach the primitives how Nature can be forged to meet their Will and Need; give them the gifts of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, for without these Oppressions of Nature can the Oppression that is civilisation nay flourish."
  316.  
  317. β€œTeach them to plunder the earth for minerals. Educate them in weapon-smithing and the martial disciplines of violence. Make them understand ideas of property and land ownership. Show them how to take from the weak and yet also how to defend what they own. Let them know war!"
  318.  
  319. "Teach them also how to farm weaker mortals; educate them in the taking and maintaining of slaves. For in Truth are all mortal civilisations but complex farms over which a small elite of sacred farmers hold sway."
  320.  
  321. "However, heed these words of warning! Mortality can nay efficiently rule itself, for its heart is weak and easily corrupted by power. The Lord will appoint leaders over Khovarast because His Will is All. Let there be no 'me' or 'mine' within Khovarast, let there be only 'He' and 'His'. Humility is Everything."
  322.  
  323. "If a mortal denounces the Gods in Their entiery and insists on rottinh within pagan, animistic paradigms, then they are the vilest of enemies! Bring the message of absolute Divine Obedience unto the animal-mortals of this world. If they reject and blaspheme against the Gods, exterminate them from history."
  324.  
  325. "Khovarast will not be the last City State on this planet, but it is The First. From the seeds you sew shall mighty Empires arise, progressing along a Sacred Metanarrative until Judgement Day comes to sort the Wheat from the Chaff; and in that day, atrocity shall overtake the world and all shall walk in fear."
  326.  
  327. "For lo! You are laying the foundations for Judgment Day: That glorious moment when Ayar the Destroyer will discard the name of Sarapis and come fully into Vengeful Being."
  328.  
  329. "Weakness is the side effect of Independent Development and must be Purged. Only the Strong are needed to Ascend back into the Infinite Moment of Absolute Oneness. As long as Weakness exists inside Creation, the Ascension cannot happen: The Cosmic Consciousness is Perfect and can contain no-thing Imperfect.
  330.  
  331. "There are Three Ages of Creation, and each is embodied by one of Ayar's Aspects (of which Evil mirrors). Each age is of a similar length. Judgment Day is but the moment when the Age of Destruction fully Begins."
  332.  
  333. "It will take endless millennia to Purge Creation of Its Weakness. Then will Ayar the Archetypal Positive join with Ayar the Archetypal Negative and once more enter into the Eternal Moment's Pure Cosmic Strength: Unified Mathmatical Oneness: -1 + 1: 0: Perfection."
  334.  
  335. "We prophesise now the Signs of the Coming Apocalypse. Watch for them closely, for they shall act as warnings to Make Ready, Make Ready, Make Ready for the Time of Evil's Glory!"
  336.  
  337. "The number of Gods shall swell the closer Creation moves to Judgment Day. Mortals shall ascend unto Divinity and many of Ayar's First Divine Children will slumber. The Triumvirate will be forgiven and freed from Their bondage. Blood will dance across Fallen Gods. Lamb shall be consumed by Wolf."
  338.  
  339. "Some mortals will sense the coming Ascension into Infinite and Perfect Strength, but miss understand it is a Decent into Nothingness; for their feeble four dimensional minds will perceive Nothing but Matter and Linear Time. These fools will then turn to the nihilistic worship of the self, which is the worship of Weakness in one of its Purest Forms."
  340.  
  341. "The Lord shall share His Realm with Younger Gods. For the Holy Work that is needed of Him in the Age of Destruction is massive. The Three Sacred Aspects of Evil (Suffering, Oppression and Vengeance) shall become Divine Realms in Their Own Right. Lord Shaitan shall take one of these Realms for His own and assign Young Divine to the Remaining Two."
  342.  
  343. "Evil shall expand beyond this Three the closer Creation draws to Judgement Day. More and more Gods and Goddesses are to rise and fill the many Subtler Aspects of Evil. These Gods are Equal with The Lord and will Lead His Divine Army with Him. Many Divine will not become fully Part of Evil, but shall be instead Allies. To some of these Deities, Lord Shaitan shall grant Dominion over certain of His Territories."
  344.  
  345. "When all these things (and much more besides) have come to pass, then shall Judgement Day be upon us and the Age of Destruction begun!"
  346.  
  347. "A Great Churning is promised to commence on that Fateful Day, as the Atomic Elemental Consciousness begins its Ascension. This will induce the seas to boil, planets to shakes, hurricanes to eat entire continents and fire to weep bitterly from the sky."
  348.  
  349. "Spirit shall writhe and render, inflicting the Living and causing the Dead to rise. The Dead are to be Judged for their deeds in Life. Only the Strong will be granted continuation, the weak will have their souls obliterated into Nothingness."
  350.  
  351. "As the Sacred Atoms begin to move back to Oneness with Ayar, so that He may Unite with His Opposite and Ascend unto Strength, those creatures of Sat that the Atoms have formed will be beset with pestilence. Plague shall sweep Creation. Only life forms strong enough to fight off these infinite poxes and prevent their Atoms from Moving On shall survive."
  352.  
  353. "Evil is tasked with unleashing its Holy Army into this Great Churning. The barriers holding the Inferno will be ripped down and its daemon hoards set upon Creation like rabid hounds. The Empire of Evil's Hellish Legions are destined to march at the head of this tsunami of violence!"
  354.  
  355. "At their side, Evil mortals are to march and fight; their ranks swelled by the Chosen and Resurrected Dead; those Mighty Individuals whom in Life embodied Evil's Will. Rewarded are these Past Heroes of Evil for their Glory. The Lords and Ladies of Evil have promised unto them new Invincible Bodies and Godlike Powers, so once more they can bring Sacred Vengeance unto the Enemies of Strength."
  356.  
  357. "These Legions of Mortal Loyalists will be led by a Supreme General and Spiritual Master. He shall be birthed on Judgment Day. He is the First and Only Mortal to be Born with Ananda: Enlightenment. He is the Promised Messiah of Evil; blessed be his name!"
  358.  
  359. "War shall reign in the Heavens. Those Gods not enlisted in Evil's Army will instead fall beneath Its Blades. No aspect of Creation is to be granted amnesty from the Great and Vengeful Purge. An animal is at its best when hunting or being hunted; this is the essence of the Age of Destruction."
  360.  
  361. "The Purification will take countless Aeons to complete, but eventually only the Strong are decreed to remain. Then will the Purified and Perfected Atomic Elemental Consciousness be Eaten by Ayar the Destroyer. Once this Final Meal is consumed, Ayar shall unfold himself through an Inversion of the Seven Sacred Steps until He merges once more with His Negative Other and Ascends. The Circle is then Complete."
  362.  
  363. "Moment, Infinite Moment; the Supreme One; Strength without Weakness; Cosmic Consciousness; an Abstraction without Form, without Void: Ayar..."
  364.  
  365. "Go now, chosen Apostles of The Lord, and build His Holy City. Once its Black Spire's stand Tall and Proud, create a Book of Scripture. In it, detail Ayar's Seven Sacred Steps of Creation and all that followed after. Speak of the Chaos Wars and Lord Shaitan's doings during them. Then record the words and Truths we have spoken unto you this day!"
  366.  
  367. And with that, the Demonic Host evaporated back into the Inferno.
  368.  
  369. As it was INSTRUCTED, so it has been DONE!
  370.  
  371. HAIL unto the Three Aspects of Evil!
  372.  
  373. HAIL unto Evil's Seven Truths!
  374.  
  375. HAIL unto the Evil Age of Destruction and all its Prophesied Glory!
  376.  
  377. HAIL! HAIL! HAIL!
