     + + Here I stand. I, Kitriana, Voice of the       + +
     + + Shadow Union. With pride and dignity, as I    + +
     + + lend my hand to Common words for uncommon     + +
     + + thoughts.                                     + +
     + +                                               + +
     + + You, dear Reader, stand in the place I did.   + +
     + + Perhaps in the very place my boots rested     + +
     + + as I penned this note. Mayhaps you will catch + +
     + + a psychic breath of my intensity. Perhaps you + +
     + + are the One for whom I seek. The One whose    + +
     + + deeper self calls to me, provokes me to stand + +
     + + here, in this sun drenched land, beckoning me + +
     + + to pen these words.                           + +
     + +                                               + +
     + + You are out there. Somewhere. I sense you.    + +
     + + I know not your age, your size, your          + + 
     + + colouring. I know nothing of your life, save  + + 
     + + something is missing. You have tried to lead  + +  
     + + a life of grace and purity, all the while     + + 
     + + surrounded by the flotsam and swill of the    + + 
     + + Surface. You feel the call of something       + +  
     + + within, a call that speaks to you of the      + + 
     + + mysteries of the Depths.                      + +
     + +                                               + +
     + + You long for meaning in your life. You long   + + 
     + + for a life in which service and freedom       + + 
     + + co-exist. And thrive. You wish to see the     + + 
     + + face of your Gods. To know that you please    + + 
     + + them with your service.                       + +
     + +                                               + +
     + + Though I do not know your face, I feel        + + 
     + + a kinship for you. A longing for oneness      + + 
     + + that defies common words. I know the ease     + + 
     + + with which a knife comes to your hand,        + + 
     + + and I know that you sometimes contemplate     + +
     + + the elegant simplicity of this utilitarian    + + 
     + + weapon. I know your distaste for the artifical+ + 
     + + morality of those about you, and the societal + + 
     + + constructs that elevate the few at the        + +
     + + expense of the many.                          + +  
     + +                                               + +
     + + You seek me. Perhaps you do not know it.      + + 
     + + I am here to remind you if you do not         + + 
     + + remember. I await you in the Utterdark.       + + 
     + + I await you in the shadows of the Union       + + 
     + + guild hall, that bastion of beauty and        + + 
     + + contemplation deep in the bowels of Sybarus.  + + 
     + + We all wait, we Warriors of the Shadow Union. + + 
     + + We wait with the patience of those born       + +
     + + to tirelessly seek unity. We serve and we     + +                  
     + + await those who will serve beside us and know + +
     + + the joy of our existence.                     + +
     + +                                               + +
     + +                                               + +
     + +  We await you...                              + +
     + +                                               + +
     + +         Seek me.                              + +
     + +                                               + +
     + +     Seek Us.                                  + + 
     + +                                               + +
     + +      The time has come for you to become One. + +
