Five years since we lost the light of the Ray of Matar, and what a waste for years have they been! We are still in the same war of attrition, we are still slowly losing it, there is no new Ray, and there is no real justice. The same frauds sit in the same ‘tribal council’ and the same people are still shackled in Darkness.
What do you care about nations and governments, you are a capsuleer, asked the (once) famous @GoGo_Yubari in another thread. And oh my, is that a question I’ve been asking myself these past few years.
My nation is gone. My oath is broken. I am legally a ghost to my clan. My Chief is but a shadow cast by the Ray.
My alliance is a shadow of its former self. The rivals of my alliance are shadows of their former selves. Even the enemies of my alliance are nothing but that.
Why am I still here?
Because blood and spirit. I am what I am. Love dies, allies betray, but kin remains. I’ve done my bit of rage and grief and revenge. Time to let go and move on or build anew.
There are many gods in this universe And the Amarrian God is the most powerful of them all But strength does not equal wisdom And might does not make right
I fully and completely renounce the evil God I will not obey His commands I will not follow His followers I will not fear His punishment
I am Rhiannon I am Sebiestor I stand here today, surrounded by my kin Our blood is one, and my spirit is free
(Renouncement as spoken in Rhiannon; apologies for the crude translation. I especially struggle with the last line. I chose the variation for Mid-year renewal of kinship alliances because it fits here but the words for blood/kin and soul/spirit/clan do not exactly translate.)
There are two kind of people in this world; those who try to rebuilt the past into the present, and those who try to built the future into the present
I will be honest and say that it would be interesting to hear what you are planning to move into but I understand if you wouldn’t anyway. I just wish it will be constructive for New Eden and your soul in the end.
The mere fact your alliance stands once more only shows it has a shadow to cast. Your alliances rivals stagger, you stand steadfast. The shadow your alliance casts has definately acted as a something to show others after it they too should step out from it and project a shadow to spur on our future warriors themselves. I hope its time is not up but it has far from done nothing for our people.
Imported as in ‘from outside the Pator system’. I have a friend who travels around the Wildlands and who has a source for some amazing hand-rolled cigars.
It is interesting to read this, while remembering that not too many years ago, you shook your head at what you considered my folly, when I refused to align with any clan, to make Sebiestor tribe business my business above all else. And I say that not to gloat, but rather as a reflection on how things change over time.
The way I see it, you have now grown out of the need for a cause to be your identity. Instead, you can now set some goals you want to achieve, one of which I’d suggest to be the rebuilding of your own self, divested of who you painted yourself to be to fit the cause of your clan and tribe.
