Dawn of the New Year: 1550
Somewhere, deep in the forests of the Spartycan coast, an old dilapidated cabin stood atop a small hill, covered by tree canopy. The song of birds masked the activities within, as any from the nearby village might tell you, this cabin housed an elven lad about sixty years of age. Young for his species, but regardless he bore a scraggly grey beard and gave off the energy of a hermit. Within the cabin, the man furiously banged on a typewriter, stacking pages he deemed appropriate and discarding those with any clear errors. It had to be perfect, as, after all, this would be the manifesto of the unknown criminal who had mailed cursed packages with the intent of causing grievous bodily harm to several people he suspected of being ickolic-doppleganger-alien-whispering hybrids. In the following he details his elaborate ideology. As of yet though, he hadn’t actually gotten down any of his important points.
“Hmmm, how should I start this? Ah!”
Andyrecas:
Democratic Mago-Technological Society, and its Future.
1: The advent of democratic government in the west and its consequences have been a disaster for the human races. It has certainly granted us a say in politics for those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized a once harmonious society, given way to mob rule, and offer even more power to shadowy groups of elites who control the media organizations throughout the western world, and uncontrolled immigration now threatens our once sacred way of life so that our leaders can continue to damage the natural world through expansion.
2: In its current state, democratic society may survive, or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY be capable of fending off an invasion by the alien sirens that the government denies the existence of, and our culture MAY in time reassert itself over the inane multicultural gibberish being pushed by the shapeshifting elite, but only after passing through a long and painful process of internal strife and turmoil sure to reduce much of the population to a subhuman cattle-race in the care of the shapeshifters.
3: The more of our world is brought into the fold of this false-notion of “enlightenment” that is being pushed, the more painful it will be on the whole when this system inevitably fails, or worse, should it not fail at all, it may give way to the annexation of our world by alien forces.
Arceus:
4: Evidence of the fact that this system is corrupt will be presented throughout this essay, where we will point out its societal issues such as historical revisionism, an example of which being an unwillingness to account for the spearian temples built across the world, indicating that advanced, global civilization is nothing new, and that it has risen and fallen before, along with tampering in traditional faiths such as the continued addition of new demigods to the arcean and tiamatic faiths. Accompanying this will be descriptions of physical threats created by this system, such as those that magical advancement, democracy, the alien forces that influence our minds and our dreams, and technology pose to the natural world and its people. At no point do we offer commentary on reform of this system, as we believe doing so to be impossible.
5: Therefore, we advocate revolution against the first democratic nation before these ideas can spread across the world, rendering us all vulnerable to alien brainwashing. This does not necessitate violence, but something must be done to ensure that this so-called enlightenment is contained.
Baldur:
The Dangers of Modern Complacency
6: In its current state, our democratic society is incapable of standing against growing threats outside of its borders that are becoming increasingly dynamic, the greatest example of which being the oft-ignored Underdark. Following the somewhat obscure event during the mid-1520s in which a comet-like object streaked across the sky, inducing strange variations in wildlife such as the emergence of the ‘pokerus’ virus and bizarre fused creatures aptly-called ‘fusion-beasts’ by the establishment before their extermination, it is believed that in some remote part of the east, by myself as well as many other concerned activists, that rodents have evolved into humanoid shape, developed sentience and migrated underground, where they have formed connections with the deep-dwelling vril empire, the catfolk, and possibly even the daemon-worshipping Aboleths. This newfound unity of the depths brings untold dangers to the decadent western cultures, as these uncucked societies will surely seek to expand.
7: This may not necessarily be a military threat. The ratfolk are said to spread their culture into those nations they ally with, eroding their traditions with ‘exotic cuisine’ and other multicultural nonsense, and so it is entirely within the realm of possibility that our ‘democracy’ may willingly allow these aliens within our borders, wherein they will surely interbreed and violate the purity of culture and species, further weakening our collective strength for much greater threats to take hold, internal or external.
8: Inseparable from this is the modern phenomena of UFOs. One might scoff at such an assertion but no sane professor, even in the corrupt democratic hellholes that are modern universities can deny the existence of such with a straight face, though they may be told to. Within the last thirty years, since the fall of the aforementioned comet, sightings of beings thusfar to be referred to as “Sirens”, alongside their sky-navigating vessels, have increased tenfold, along with allegations of an aggressive and radioactive ‘bigfoot’ stalking the western landmass. These beings are known to hold nothing but hostile intent as the research of profound UFOlogist Sir Doulton of Exodia has proven, and with all this in mind I am certain that, short of a total collapse of our complacent, elemental-dependent and possibly even collaborationalist society, we will not be able to build up a defense against these outsiders to our world.
Diddly:
The Psychology of Republicanism
9: It is no secrets that our governments have, for centuries, been a disorganized, chaotic mess, yet today this is far more noticeable than any time before in history, and one symptom of this is the international movement we refer to as republicanism. Adherents to this ideology hope to quash remaining monarchies and emulate the first example of republicanism in practice, and what they see as a ‘model state’, the so-called united states of the eastern plains, an ineffectual remnant that founded the initial practice of “constitutional government”, supposedly serving as an inspiration for nations all across the western world to abandon authoritarianism and seek a fair and just system. Preposterous.
10: Worse yet, such ideologies are actively endorsed by extra-ocaerillian forces, as can be easily surmised by the stone monoliths present throughout the eastern plains, clearly of sirenic design. Their appearance coincided with the mist-storm that neutralized most remaining acid pools and their presence has drawn otherwise enlightened primitivists to found villages in worship of these outside abominations, and as is widely known the diabolical blood-rituals of this cult will spread west, as their so-called ‘Aetherium’ stones that, contrary to their narrative of mining this miracle mineral is known to originate from mass-bloodletting ceremonies, the anemia of the populace is a clear indicator of this. Infant sacrifice is also widely suspected, but unproven.
Helsa:
Infiltration of the Mind
11: Worse yet, even our inner thoughts are not safe from the constant barrage of propoganda our dreams in particular, countless of those of the psionic persuasion, which thanks to the filth they pour into our water and air now constitutes a fifth of greater humanity (The totality of demihuman races including their common ancestor), report visitation by heroes of the past, idealized and warped beyond their known history, and many of whom are of the opposite sex than historically known. This psychic interference is likely generated through top secret psychotronic weapons produced by the M&D cartel and being used to promote further “Progressive” revisionism, such as the dubious transvestitism of Silva of Titania and portrayal of the jade imperial line as one of disguised queens. Some wizards in institutions claimed to have summoned and bound the spirits of these figures to their service via the dreamlands! Preposterous, not so preposterous as the depressed dregs of society whose medications have not stopped them from reaching out and reporting psychic experiences in the throne of heroes itself, but preposterous nonetheless.
Ickol:
Additional Dangers of Historical Revisionism and False Flag Operations
12: The defilement of history is evident all around us, case and point, our great nation of Spartycus, a state that, contrary to what we are told, did not wage a glorious conquest across the west in the name of god and with the aid of his anointed. In fact, short of a few decades ago, Spartycas did not even exist. Our nation, for all its patriotism, as proven by the testimony of the Court Mages cited in the bibliography, was only founded after a secretive unification agreement signed by remaining western powers after the war. Spartycas was the end result, and an elaborate false history was crafted, with the aid of alien technology used to fashion the so-called ‘demigods’ amidst its ranks..
13: “War veterans” are paid actors, battles were reeinacted in the midst of cities, condemned criminals were covertly moved into cities before the ‘conquest’ to be executed as ‘casualties of war’. This is indisputable fact, unless one believes that every court mage in the west is owned, which I personally suspect is a false-flag assertion.
Inqui:
14: On the topic of false flag operations, the most significant of such has been not in the west, but in the eastern hemisphere of our world, as one will remember the meticulously staged assassination of General Chiyo by an international vigilante movement known in their own circles as the Anti Heroes, having close ties with other remaining anti-establishment communities. Having been framed for this act the total eradication of their movement was thereby justified.
Modern Technology, Magic, and the Destruction of the Natural World:
15: The continental fervor for rebuilding the corrupt infrastructure of the previous systems has been a tragic mistake of western man, specifically in the field of Magic, but technology as well. In the case of the former, the construction of international educational institutes in the west in the blind pursuit of magical power has led to the maddening and death of countless students whose gullible parents sent them off without thought after they demonstrate even the slightest talent in manipulating the winds.
16: Of course, driven by pure secularism, they don’t particularly care. A few rural communities devoured by Daemons is of no consequence in the face of ‘Progress’. Even in fields of less destructive magic, such as biomancy and Chakral manipulation, they develop increasingly suspect methods that no nation which honored the harmony of magic, such as the Biome, would ever tolerate in ages past.
17: With the central institutionalization of magic in place in the west, we now fear our future may resemble the current state of the defiled ancestors of the elves. Cenobites, a docile populace enslaved by their own vices and ruled by an addiction to physical pleasure at the expense of morality, ruled by an even more immoral elite, gratifying themselves through truly despicable means, and worshipping the eldritch gods of the cosmos while their citizens worship their own loins.
Ocaeril:
18: Technology is not as guilty as magic, as evident by the fact that magic has allowed for senseless destruction on a much larger scale, such as the awakening which blew several fresh holes in the firmament, but regardless it remains a portion of our society’s death knell, each advancement serving to restrict our innate nature. For example, rebuilt cities now revolve around the system of roads, the car now a mandatory possession for any living in what were once a pedestrian utopia.
19: Power grids are being built once more, their reach expanded by imported kohonan technology and even the once anti-technology druids of the jungle call for further industrialization of our land! The development of modern irrigation has led to the destruction of countless acres of the rainforest to accommodate more farmland, which produces a surplus of food. Who doesn’t love more food? Ask the people of the Spartycan capital! The most densely populated city in the west now having a mass-exodus of its condensed population out of the cities and to the country.
20: Why? An explosion in the world’s population caused by such a surplus of food, urge to replace the male population lost in wars, and modern medicine ensuring most children survive into adulthood. This increasing population has led to the exodus from cities into the country, which will in turn lead to more cities being built, which will lead to more people being born, which will lead us to create more farmland by cutting down more of the rainforest, which will in turn lead to even more people being born due to another surplus!
21: Some erroneously call this an age of prosperity, and while quality of life may have objectively improved for some (Much as it did for the Cenobites at their dawn), the failure of most states to heed the ideals of those who first provided these technologies, that of the preservation of nature, as corrupted as it may have become in kohonan, Biomic and druidic cultures will inevitably lead to mass extinction of wildlife, the loss of our humanity, and the death of our natural world.
Oen:
The Siren Strategem
22: This is, of course, all part of a greater plot by aliens. Note, when we refer to aliens, we are not referring to beings from other worlds. Any looking to the sky may note the writhing, betentacled abomination with a billion eyes that looms above the spheres and drives any whom’st beholds it to madness, save for myself, the author, of course. When referring to aliens, we refer to the popular conception of beings from other worlds, the tall, feminine creatures described as being like tattoo’d elves with inhuman eyes and who on average demonstrate capabilities outside the realm of possibility for a psyker of greater humanity. These beings, known popularly as Sirens, (not to be confused with the savage, all-female merfolk tribe known to attack members of other races for the purpose of mating and consumption in any given order, despite physical and biological similarities between the two) are believed by the writers of this work not to originate from outer space, which despite the beliefs of popular transmundanism, does not exist.
23: Some might additionally assert that Sirens originate from another plane, however to refute this we refer to the Order of the Watch, a group of void-desert dwellers and rural folk made up in large part by the Scorpi Tribe, whose monoliths that they fervently protect will, should one without ill intent purchase themselves an audience, quite forcibly inform the viewer of the impenetrable nature of our plane by others. To substantiate this one need only look in the total disappearance of Fae from our world, and the long-term fluctuation of the magical realm effected by the rise of those monoliths, consistent failure of modern mediums and necromancers despite centuries of no trouble to contact the dead, and other such interference in planar maneuverings.
24: More evidence can be found in dreams. Past generations bore no hardship recalling their experiences in the land of nod, yet today lest one right down their activities they will struggle to remember by noon. Certainly the barriers between our world and that of dreams, and indeed all other worlds, have hardened in the past century, and based on the monolith, by an act of the gods, who most certainly exist, mind you, but note that Sirens are more common on our world than ever before, and so I point to the Islands of Mundia and Acore, two small islands in the south central sea known for their bizarre natives and rock formations. The demihumans native to the island of acore were researched extensively by kohonan specialists, noting their custom of tatooing themselves from head-to-toe, pointing of their own teeth via stones, outright hostility toward male offspring and using biomancy to induce hermaphroditism in their population. The art of this culture depicts flying saucers and bizarre, furry humanoids, making influence by a more advanced culture clear.
25: More pressing is the whirlpool on Mundia, into which the alcorians present sacrifices in the form of jewels and fruit. This whirlpool has never been explored due to the hazardous terrain of mundia requiring an expensive mountain climbing expedition, however we suspect it to be not a whirlpool at all, but a gateway into the inner world of Ocaeril, an “Under-Underdark”, if you will, wherein the Sirens reside, and possibly other beings, such as the furred humanoids, and the insectoids sighted after the incident in Camelot, wherein six abductees were burned to death in alleyways by unknown assailants.
Original:
26: Regarding Camelot, further evidence of their involvement in this conspiracy can be ascertained by looking at its supposedly immortal leader, but while the public may know this being as a demilich of some sort, we have become aware, through our sources (cited below) in the Biome we came to be aware of a synthetic duplicate of the aforementioned dictator, and although the existence of this clone is only suspected evidence would suggest that the “Immortal Queen of Camelot” is simply a dynasty of identical beings, possibly siren duplicates. Indeed, they have been here for a long time.
Shapeshifting and Genetic Alteration
27: Regarding identical beings, the possibility is in no way remote. In the now-liberated state of Larion, Changelings, albeit few in number since a number of carefully covered-up purges, walk openly on the streets, each capable of shifting form at will. Evidence of these beings having been artificially engineered in the past is plentiful, as is that in leaked spartycan documents that suggest above them exists a class of true shapeshifters, varying in description from faceless men to skeletal grey-skinned amphibians of a sort, who created and rule over changelings. ‘Dopplegangers’, as they are known in folklore, have never been proven to exist empirically, however anecdotal evidence is rampant, and the Biome’s acquisition of cytoplasts offering minor shapeshifting abilities following the annexation of larion. Not a mere coincidence, we believe.
28: The previous paragraph served to illustrate that with modern magic and technology, the total alteration of one’s appearance or the fashioning of one person to resemble another is in no way beyond possibility, and we suspect it to be being conducted routinely by the elites. Imagine, any world leader acting against the goals of some shadowy organization might be abducted and covertly replaced, and the public would never be the wiser. Regardless of whether or not this is true, it is an undeniable fact that it is at least possible, and why would that be? The answer is simple. Western Modernity. Thus, to ensure such an elite cabal cannot exist, whether or not this Syndicate of shapeshifters already does (which we do not doubt in the slightest) our technology and magical knowledge must be forsaken for the benefit and continued survival of greater humanity.
Tiamat:
The Corruption of Traditional Faith
29: With modern society defiling so many aspects of mankind’s nature (And that of its evolutionary cousins), it stands to reason that our traditional religions would be bent over and violated in the name of ‘progress’ as well. Religions that venerate nature especially seem to be a target of this, fertility cults and the children of the sea being an obvious case, with historical revisionism coming into play once more as church leaders worldwide alter their ancient lore to account for the addition of several new gods to their pantheon in contradiction of the origin story of their goddess, while simultaneously partaking in the corrupt “Progress” of westernism by transforming something as innocent as music (albeit with subliminal messaging technology it is far from innocent today) into yet another system of magic which draws upon deadly forces.
30: With control of the weather in the hands of once-naturalistic peoples the rape of nature may continue unabated. With any farmer now able to call down rain at will with aid of a few folk priests a few scholars, even those of the modern society fear a possible runaway greenhouse effect due to excess moisture! But the cattle-populace doesn’t heed their words, ‘pretty music go brrrr’ they say. Leading the charge of these new developments are the Triton of all peoples, again a once noble race now enraptured in western progression following the apparent permanent destruction of the demon “Cygon” whose continued attacks on their society kept it stagnant for the last centuries, though according to transmundanist schools of thought they have not truly killed it, simply sealed it away under some large structure to bury their problem for a century or two. We will all see.
The Writhing Cosmos Master:
Possible Consequences of the Abuse of Magical Forces:
31: The aftermath of the second Awakening was a lesson to all inhabitants of the world, one that, for whatever reason, they have been almost totally unwilling to learn from. Knowledge of its causes are dubious, however we believe it to be uncontrolled magical experimentation and widespread abuse of warp energies that led to the almost total collapse of the barriers between our world and the other side, and subsequent awakening of much of the world’s population, who at that time around forty percent of which possessed some form of extrasensory ability, to the ability to reach into the warp and directly extract power, many of such individuals died out relatively quickly during a brief epidemic of daemonic possession, circa 1518.
32: Not to say all psychic members of the population were granted this ability, it is by the grace of the gods that only a small number were, but those that remain today with these abilities, and those born with them, now exist purely as tools of the system, taken at birth to serve in the respective magical and military institutions of their nation, or as glorified radios allowing instant communication. It is only in the Eastern Plains and the Biome are they granted a measure of freedom, in the former case largely due to legal maneuverings and only granted nominal freedom, being monitored heavily. And in the biome, they are simply altered to suppress these abilities.
33: The status of people with these powers in the East is lesser known, though presumably they are subject to equally rigorous regulation or simply killed out of hand, but what is known is even in the remotest regions of nekomatus, more and more have been born with command over magic than in any other period in history within the last decades, a symptom of the awakening no doubt.
34: Other results of this awakening can be observed by anyone with eyes, the arrival of the monoliths mentioned in paragraph 20, possibly an act of the gods to curb the awakening, and rampaging daemons who, for a brief time between the two events, were no longer impeded by their propensity to fade into nothingness within minutes of arrival into our plane. Anyone unfortunate enough to be near a dungeon from which rampaging monsters emerged can attest to the awakening’s fallout as well, although so few survived such encounters.
Xorju:
Conclusion
35: The total destruction of our society and our humanity (or an equivalent concept for your species) is, as stated throughout this essay, inevitable until we abandon magic, technology and democratic institutions determined to model our world after the governmental structure of New Sodom, the last cenobite city not yet to have been burned out of the jungles. Evidence of this abounds and we are clearly in the latter days of this process, as shown by the literal disappearance of rural villages and their people across the west and east, likely by a process of siren technology, but clearly for the end of suppressing voices of resistance, and simultaneously acquiring test-subjects to transfigure into what many believe to be human-alien hybrids, the so-called ‘endermen’. Certainly possible, although these beings lack any resemblance to sirens, but regardless of that fact it was the sudden depopulation of one such town that led the auther of this essay to mail a series of improvised explosive devices and cursed artifacts to high-ranking politiciansm and it will be the publication of this manifesto upon the front page of the Spartycan Tribune that will compel these bombings to cease.
Epilogue:
The half-elf activist placed the final page of his work upon a stack of papers beside him, satisfied with his work. He took out an alligator clip and bound the manifesto, before setting out to the post office in a nearby village. He deposited the manifesto, addressed to the Spartycan tribune, and some weeks later his demands would be met, with this mother’s testimony upon reading the manifesto having led to his arrest. Alas, his mother’s loyalty to her son was outweighed by the disgust that accompanied the realization that he was a Geocentrist. Regardless, the manifesto was widely read, and soon came into the hands of a boy living halfway across the world, in Titania, the so-called “Western Kingdom of the East” for its out-of-place cultural influences and architecture, but regardless, it had come to him years after its authorship via a trading vessel among a stack of unrelated newspapers, and in reading it, he found some bizarre correlations.
“Hey mom?”
His mother, looked up from her book, “Yes?”
“Could we be part-alien?”
“Are you reading that incoherent nonsense the westerners put out?”
“Well, yes, but I’m serious.”
“No child, it’s bad enough all the attention you get for being the descendent of Braelor himself, and the long line of heroic deeds our family has, and the fact that not one of our name has been unable to operate a vertical maneuvering rig without crashing into a wall-
“It was one time!”
“Was certainly embarrassing to our lineage, But aliens? Come on.”
“I’m serious mom, how else do you explain this?”
He raised his finger, from which green blood dripped due to a papercut he sustained while reading the manifesto, and burned a hole in the carpet.
“Well now look what you’ve done. Do you have any idea how much that is going to cost to replace the carpet?”
“Are you kidding me!?”
Meanwhile
(This but with twenty thrones and mac tonight instead of elf lady)
Meanwhile, the gods were once again returned to their thrones, albeit with the notable absence of Ickol and Original, and the presence of a new god atop the throne of the Abomination. The others would recognize this as Dementia, the ancient god of Chaos, and he would find himself in a greatly changed hall, with digital displays on one side and a man with a moon for a head providing ambient music. That moon man read from the above manifesto, and had provided a copy for each of the gods on their thrones. Why? well none could be sure, that creature was always a strange one, but regardless, a feast of bland substances of dubious composition awaited them once more, as did the globe depicting a simultaneously chaotic and prospering world below. Dementia recalled this place, having seen it thousands of years in the past, and he recognized the other gods, who would in turn recognize him. What he would do next, however? Well, he was never the most predictable.
