The Truth

Day 1,374, 20:36 Published in Australia Australia by Malgoo

In the beginning all was Void and without form.
There was no substance, no matter or energy, no Life or Light.
The elemental forces did not exist; neither did space or time.
All that existed was the Void, nothing.
Born of this the universe came into being,
and for the first time the eternal Darkness of the Void was broken by the Light of Creation.

The eternal Void was shattered by the beginnings of Creation.
Elemental forces roiled, pushing back the Void to make room for the
strange powers and energies that came screaming from the core of Creation to find their place in this new reality.
The elemental powers, titans of weak and strong and strange attractors defined the first basic laws that governed Creation.

The Creation that now threatened the Void, the Creation that had spurned the eternal Void and the Darkness that was sheltered within.

The war fought between between the Light of Creation and the Darkness of the Void unleashed the energy that fueled the continued growth of existence.
Protomatter coalesced from burning plasma caught in fields of gravity only to be torn asunder by the Darkness and scattered in an ever widening sphere.
The further away from the violent chaos of the war against the Void these elements fled, the cooler they became.

The Void, and the Darkness within was waiting.

And as the matter and energy of the newborn universe began to cool, Creation recognised too late the trap set for it by the Void,
triggered by the eagerness of Light to spread the joys of Creation.

As the Darkness of the Void crushed this matter and energy, vast nebulae formed from cooling gasses and strange, elemental particles.
Under constant attack from the Darkness these nebulae grew dense, so fertile with the Light of Creation that they began to collapse upon themselves.

The Darkness was overjoyed at what seemed to be an overwhelming victory for the Void, but all was not lost.

In a final act of defiance Creation sent globules of superhot matter and energy scattered into the winds of spacetime, trailing dust in their wake.
When these burning spheres finally came to rest rotating gracefully on their own axes, the dust they had brought behind them settled into rings and discs surrounding them.
Slowly these discs of dust underwent their own transformations, forming dense pockets of matter and trapped energy for their own.
Sometimes enough would collect into spheres of gas.
Sometimes these spheres of gas would collapse and ignite, creating new stars to spread the Light of Creation.
Sometimes orbs of matter would harden into cold, random lumps of rock.
Sometimes orbs of matter were dense enough to harden into planets.
Sometimes, when conditions were right, Life would arise, nurtured by the Light of Creation.


The Darkness of the Void was foiled, but it would be forever waiting beyond the Light, filled with hatred for Life, burned by the Light of Creation everywhere that it once called its own,
waiting for a chance to forever banish Creation and its Light and to fill an everlasting Void once more.

Now is that time.

The Darkness has seized a chance represented by the very Life it detests, the deeply flawed Followers Of The Book Of Dear Father.

They have amassed a legion of followers, all bent towards Darkness and eager for the end of Creation and the return of the all-encompassing Void.
Dartreal, Keeper of The Book Of Dear Father, has recently called out to his fellow followers for inspiration to explain away the founding of their cult - a propaganda effort designed to keep the true knowledge of their dark purpose a secret.
Now you know the truth.

We have chosen this pivotal time to step forward and reveal ourselves, we who have been watching and waiting, knowing of the hatred the Darkness of the Void holds for all, and we are prepared.

We are the Order of The Sun, come to Light a candle against the Darkness of the night.
