Callum Garner for Illithiad (Ancient God)
Illithiad was the true creator of the world the players are in, but growing bored of always knowing the future, (s)he fractured the world he spent so long ruling so (s)he couldn't predict anymore. Now (s)he quietly observes, letting the world surprise them.
(Distraught, Distant.)
"Why am I here?"This is a question mortals ask often, after all, I have made them. Should I tell them the truth? Could they handle it? I, their god, did not want to be alone. I sculpted ants from clay, made them smile, made them weep. They worship me for their gifts and curse me for their misfortune, but it's true nonetheless that I am in fact behind it. I don't control them- not all of them. They carry out my "will" and kill in my name. Ask for my forgiveness, and plead for guidance.
Can they know it's all a game? Their very existence was to amuse me? I, their all powerful god, did not want to be alone. I who have tasted every drink, and seen every sight. I did not give them free will, I gave them the ability to create, and gave up my ability to see. Only then could I be surprised.
Could I tell a mortal that their creator wanted only to see an ant construct a hill?
And i forgot to take out a mistake about halfway through...crap haha
Hey, not a problem, it was great, I really appreciate you taking the time out to read this for me!
