Talk:Cueddhaest

Cueddhaest sermons
Here are the sermons in full glory.

Sermon 1
We read you an extract from the Book of the Crusade.

From Darkness into Light are Cueddhaest born, and to darkness from light is it out destiny to fade and be reborn. As we shine, it is our task and priviledge to illuminate Starfather's veins. To bring truth to the Labyrinth of Stars.


 * Yet over time, the candles of heaven expired. From the dark places came the dragons that were death and war and entropy, against whom only the Truth could stand, yet in Non Truth did we find ourselves.

The Elders spoke. This state of affairs could not continue. The Great Crusade was called, to venture forth into the Labyrinth of Stars and discover the threefold Key that would open the way through the Pillars of Ascension.

This concludes the passage. Thank you for listening.

Sermon 2
We read you an extract from the Book of the Dawn.

The way of the Cueddhaest has always been the way of disharmony and schism, as Starfather decreed upon our creation. None but Starmother and Starfather can know the whole Truth, yet to be lesser is to be part of the Non Truth. So were our factions always separated, that the search for Truth never end, and vigilance against Non Truth be rendered as sacred as its purification.


 * Yet over time, the power of Truth and Non-Truth wavered. Factions of Cueddhaest belief swelled and became dominant; their Non Truth too now taken for Truth. All others were silenced. All other believers were cast to the dark places, to be left behind once the Cerulean Crusade for the Pillars of Ascension began.

Which is where the trouble really started.

But that is another reading. Go in peace.

Sermon 3
We read you an extract from the Book of Fallen Candles.

The self-proclaimed greatest and wisest of us formed the Crusade. The Amarinth. The Consecrant. The Heralds of the Twin Polarities. The Teneb and the Lambent. The Singers of the Light. All united as the Dawn. The Dawn of a new era. The Dawn of prophecy. The Dawn destined to rise. The Dawn, following the path of the Truth to the Pillars of Ascension, and beyond.


 * Yeah. Leaving the rest of us behind...

Come now, brother. It has been many Great Cycles. We have grown since then. We have reformed. Matured. We have found our own Truth in the darkness. Now we are finally ready to follow the Path. To bring the Light. Find the Threefold Key. Go beyond the Pillars.

This concludes the passage. Thank you for listening.

Sermon 4
We read you an extract from the Book of the Second Schism.

In the wake of the Cerulean Crusade, those Cueddhaest left behind felt to conflict. Truth against Truth. Non-Truth against Non-Truth. Cycle unto Cycle. Cycle unto Great Cycle. Great Cycle unto Great Cycle, for it is not Cueddhaest nature to be destroyed. Cueddhaest energy dissipates. Energy cycles through Starfather's veins. Cueddhaest soul reforms once again to take up old arms. War continues.


 * In retrospect, it was a very pointless war...

Finally, we noticed. The Candles of Heaven, all extinguished. We were alone. Just Cueddhaest in the endless silence of the dark places.


 * Finally tried talking. Had tried everything else.

So was founded the Covenant of the New Dawn. Every Cueddhaest faction twinned together. Every Cueddhaest pairbonded. No longer could any claim clear ownership of Truth. Nor could any be surely decryed as being of the Non-Truth. No more war. No more skirmishes. But also, no Starfather. No Starmother. Not even the Labyrinth of Stars. Only the darkness.


 * So was it finally declared time. To reforge as the Crusade of the Second Dawn. To fulfil Starfather's prophecy. To follow the Path of the Old Dawn to the Pillars of Ascension and ascend unto the Nextplane.

It turns out we really like naming things.

This concludes the passage. Thank you for listening.

Sermon 5
We read you an extract from the Book of the Final Dawn.

Starfather had given the primal Cueddhaest more than the spark of life. He gave them the Truth, that the path to the Pillars of Ascension was not one that could be walked alone.


 * Indeed. To that end, he broke the Key to the Pillars of Ascension into three parts, for three was the number, and the most appropriate number.


 * First of the three parts was the Astrolabe, to guide our souls.

The Compass, to guide our hearts.


 * Finally, the Sextant, to guide our bodies. Once united, they would show the path to where the Pillars of Ascension would finally open. The Nextplane beckons us, to join those who came before.


 * Starfather be praised. Starmother be praised.


 * This ends the Book of the Final Dawn.

I hope, I didn't mess up the order or forgot a statement... The order follows the internal enumeration within the game. Liquidlenslab (talk) 19:25, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
