| It Begins with the Great Truth |
| |
| |
| ...and that truth began with a lie spread by a weak and corrupt- |
| ible author named Tolkien. The True History of this Middle Earth |
| I will tell to you, and it is much different from the lies you |
| have come to fantasize. |
| |
| In the beginning, there was Darkness, and it was good to Melkor. |
| The Darkness of Void was holy and precious. Into that void he |
| opened the world and spread himself as its wellspring. In so |
| sharing, he gave of himself to the next lives to follow and share |
| in the beauty and holiness of the Dark, and he did name them Valar |
| and elevated them to his own status as equals. |
| In his mercy, he kept from them the parts of Being difficult to |
| fathom and painful to behold. He kept them as his burden. Fear was |
| unknown to his Valar. But they did not understand his patronage |
| and their curiosity was too much, "Show us what more you have been |
| given that denies us your equal," they demanded. |
| "No, my Valar. Keep your eyes closed to the world of painful |
| knowing, and keep your hearts open to the darkness. |
| But they could not bear it and encircling him joined their |
| voices and cried, "Reveal or we may never know peace!" And they |
| would not give him peace. Melkor's heart pained. He acquiesced. |
| Revealing to them Fear, they were cowed by its mind shattering |
| strength and debilitating reverberations. "Know," he said. And |
| they did know and fled into the furthest corners of creation and |
| sky. |
| |
| The Darkness was marred. Melkor began what you know today as the |
| Song of Creation, but song it was not. Song is a lie. Melkor |
| weaved his being back into the world to heal the rifts torn by |
| fear and jealousy, but the jealousy of the Valar was already too |
| great. They battled Melkor. As he brought on soothing Darkness, |
| they created Light, blinding, searing, piercing through and |
| segregating his creation, destroying his essence rising anew into |
| the next forms that were to follow. "No, my Valar," he reasoned, |
| "You do not fathom the lengths of this destruction." |
| "We are not yours," they reasoned back, "We are a part of a |
| greater whole than you. We are of the Iluvatar, the whole that was |
| before and spread its essence unto us, and therefore so are you, a |
| mere remnant as us, and it is He we will obey and not you. And he |
| is undone. He is dead. We are him now, and we will not cease." |
| Poor was their understanding. Melkor's mistake was teaching them |
| too little of Being. The echoes of their discord rang on and ring |
| madly still into this age. |
| |
| There is much more history to undo that you have come to know as |
| true. What followed is recorded in the Great Library of Minas |
| Morgul open freely to all with hearts open to the Darkness. It is |
| the True History of our Middle Earth, and you can reclaim it from |
| the liar scribe Tolkien. Perhaps he was not the scoundrel he |
| appears. Perhaps there is some shred of truth to his tales in |
| other worlds, but sadly this is not the case for our world. Here, |
| the elven servants of the Valar live on carrying out the misdeeds |
| of their original sins, spreading light, destroying darkness, and |
| enslaving the minds of the sacred men of Melkor with their lies |
| and misdirection. |
| |
| The Society of Morgul Mages stands in their way. Beneath the |
| visage of Melkor's truest servant, the Society fights for your |
| Liberation, for Revelation of Truth, and to undo the foul betrayal |
| of the Valar and restore Darkness and peace to the world. We have |
| sacrificed all, even our mortal lives to see this through. You may |
| aid us. You may aid the Creator. You may live beyond eternity to |
| see the wrongs of this world righted. There is no greater cause, |
| no greater Truth. |
| |
| Hail Melkor! |
