'''Title: Then and Now'''

------------------------------------

Oh muses that inspire 
lesser men to make great 
works come to me so 
that under the gaze of 
the architect who makes 
men strong and weak at 
once. For easily he makes 
strong, and easily he 
brings the strong low; 
easily he humbles the 
proud and raises the 
obscure, and easily he 
straightens the jagged 
and wrecks the proud.
Attend you with eyes and 
ears, and make 
judgements direct with 
righteousness. And I, Isk 
will tell you of proper 
things.

Strife breeds and 
destroys. For when there 
was the one lord, British 
was opposed by 
Blackthorn who quarrelled 
in idea. Land was united 
under divine rule 
corruption was held at 
bay and pure virtue 
shined like the light of 
the architect yet there 
still was conflict. Orcish 
brutes were suppressed 
and not a single dwarf 
would dare to take his 
lands. But conflict 
remained and it was in 
idea, and when the idea 
of global equality became 
the victor land was split 
among new equals and 
unity was lost. 

Kronos, charge up these 
things in your heart, and 
do not let conflict that 
delights in mischief hold 
your heart back from 
your destiny, while you 
glance and goggle and 
listen to the arguments 
of the court-house. So 
when you have your fill 
of argument, will you 
raise disputes and strive 
to cause strife 
elsewhere?

Should you indulge in the 
selective prejudice your 
men held when you were 
gone against those in the 
east who wish to be your 
closest allies? Or shall 
you turn justice to the 
west and strike down 
those who have taken 
what Lord British the 
king cherished?

For if you follow the 
eyes of the elven whore 
you will find her greedy 
gaze lies on her only 
threat and your only true 
salvation. So will you 
maintain your dark affair 
with the serpents? For if 
you will there will be no 
second chance to think on 
it again: nay, let us 
settle our disputes with 
true judgement for 
divided humanity shall at 
last unite with the death 
of the factions that 
separate us.
