The rich have much to give to the world, and Sybil Mallatus, of the city of Empahna in central Pahnia, is a very rich woman. Having inherited her mothers' vast fortune, generated through the family silk trading business, she had proceeded to sell off or give away every part of it that was not part o...

So, here we are. What great works lie ahead of us, I wonder? Oh, what gifts we shall bring! The people must be joyous to receive us.

We are all a blessing unto them, each of us ourselves a gift to this world. It is only right that it should be so.

Blessed are those who take part in the giving and receiving of gifts.

In waking, the dream sticks in your thoughts, like a splinter under the skin that you cannot stop picking at. At work, you go through the motions. Your manager notices you staring into space. You do not notice him. At home, your partner says that you seem distant. The dream seems like such a small t...

You stand upon the edge of a great forest. Branches bend and snap in the wind, your ears fill with the sussurrus of millions of leaves. To your eyes they are a mass of shadows. You enter. Black trunks rise around you, only vague shapes in the dark. The canopy hides the sky. Dense undergrowth pulls ...

You talk in circles, Tepes. Enough of this.

What naive notions you possess. Whether they follow my worship or not, no matter what forces seek to preserve, they all shall eventually perish.

I am inevitable.

Are you of the mind that we do not share a similar fate with these mortals? When their worship ceases, so do we. If their cycle runs out, which on a long enough timeline is inevitable, we end with them. Can't you see? The evolution, the new cycle I bring to this world will be our salvation, by the ...

All things have a beginning, and all things must come to an end. This is the nature of existence. Do you seek to break the cycle?

[Note: This is mostly a rewrite of existing work (as far as the ***, after which it's mostly my own addition, and strictly inferior IMO), I make no claims to having come up with this myself, and some lines are almost cut-and-paste. It fits what I need, though, and I was planning this piece as my rev...

The Quorum Delucrii has released the following statement in conjunction with the T'lesir Core, for the attention of all of the galactic empires. "The Delucrii and the T'lesir Core have established a partnership for joint operations on the world Maelstrom. Delucri shall retain official possessio...

The Auctor reached a hand up to adjust the pair of wire-framed spectacles perched high on his snout, glancing around the table as he did so. The eyes of the Quorum were turned toward him; the empty seat of Alric Melnius--Proctor Colonicus now, he reminded himself--was conspicuous several places to h...

The film flickers into life, revealing in sepia tones the image of an enormous structure at the edge of a cluster of factories. Words flash at the bottom of the image: PROSPECT FACILITY ALBION The building dominates the scene, its stark, imposing visage looming over the rest of the facility. As the ...
