Start Recording…
Trogdorr: La sgrios.
Trogdorr: -raises head slowly-
Malphas: *lifts head*
Boann: *looks around from under her brim*
Boann: Such a mis-matching gather we have here. Which comes
Boann: to the point then of this service.
Boann: Sgrios is not the god of death.
Boann: Much in the same vain Glioca is not the goddess of
Boann: weddings.
Boann: But what a joyous occasion they are.
Boann: Death that is.
Boann: Weddings if that is what you like.
Boann: But we celebrate it.
Boann: Why? Because when a Sgrian dies, we are going home.
Boann: Out of chaos we were brought, and to chaos we go.
Boann: You will note that we are allied with Deoch. And some very
Boann: silly people refer to Him as the god of creation,
Boann: inspiration, or whatever they are trying to accusing Him
Boann: of.
Boann: But when we look Him, we see our ally the god of
Boann: debauchery. He was dubhaim then, he is dubhaim now, and
Boann: will always be dubhaim… no matter what some
Boann: fruity poet will say.
Boann: … No offense Elpha.
Boann: *smiles*
Elphame: None taken
Boann: Debauchery, when things don’t go well, often results in
Boann: birth.
Boann: Deoch is still creating, He just went about it a
Boann: different way. I don’t know if Danaan wasn’t into it
Boann: or whatever, but He reached into the Chaos, the Chaos
Boann: that all the dubhaim known, and pulled out of it our spark.
Boann: Giving us life, that which we know is life, a life that
Boann: is beyond the mundane.
Boann: If you read our legend, you will find real quickly
Boann: that dubhaim know the secrets of life and death. In a
Boann: nutshell we have Deoch and Sgrios.
Boann: In between the two, because we are Aislings, we have
Boann: our other ally Ceannlaidir.
Boann: We have this drive to war, and fight, and kill… all
Boann: to make ourselves stronger, faster… better.
Boann: Let me pull you back to Sgrios. To say Sgrios is the
Boann: god of death cheapens it.
Boann: Sgrios is beyond the God of death. Sgrios is the
Boann: god of Destruction. Which means the utter
Boann: annhilation of everyone and everything.
Boann: Including me, including you… and at the end of it
Boann: all, including Himself.
Boann: Death is only one form of destruction.
Boann: House fires, old age, disease… which is where
Boann: decay comes in…. rotting food, earthquakes, lightning
Boann: storms…
Boann: All of these things lead to destruction.
Boann: That is what Sgrios is the god of.
Boann: As much as Gliocans might have a group hug and
Boann: celebrate a wedding, we will have a hemloch toast and
Boann: celebrate a funeral. Because that is just one down.
Boann: Death comes to us all, regardless of your standing, your
Boann: age, nobility or lack there of…
Boann: your sword or staff.
Boann: Your boots…
Boann: Your riches or your wealth.
Boann: He will get you eventually.
Boann: And when he does, when Sgrios is unable to put your
Boann: spark back into your body for whatever reason
Boann: Or if He choose not to, as is His choice to make…
Boann: It will pass back into the Chaos.
Boann: Your spark will lose all meaning.
Boann: It will become part of chaos and all that
Boann: is you is destroyed.
Boann: In time, all those that had memory of you are
Boann: destroyed also.
Boann: So to this I say…
Boann: the final death comes all too soon.
Boann: So enjoy life. Live it fast, live it hard.
Boann: IT is all you got.
Boann: Ia Sgrios. Ia. Ia.
Elphame: Ia
Trogdorr: La Sgrios.
Malphas: Ia
Boann: Aifreann is before us. Let us live another sun.
Boann: ((”Mass is cast”))
