Celest. For hundreds of years now, ever since the ill-fated Cosmic Hope
Expedition, you have lived your lives following a single doctrine:
Complete annihilation of the Taint. Of course, you have other tenets of
your society, such as the worship of the Supernals of Celestia and
spreading the word of the Light, yet it is all geared and focused unto
that single, aforementioned goal. While I do not personally approve of
your objective, I can certainly understand why you would insist upon it.
After all, it was certainly a catalyst in the destruction of your
previous society, and a source of an incredible amount of upheaval in
the subsequent years whilst you attempted to achieve some form of
normalcy. Yet, I have but one, simple question to ask: What happens
afterwards?

To explain, I propose a theoretical scenario. In this scenario, you have
succeeded. Magnagora has fallen, its lands burned and salted. Every
remnant of the Taint has been cleansed from the Prime Material Plane.
The orcs have reverted into orchlach, the Viscanti abominations have all
been put to the sword, the Great Illithoid Prison has been irreversibly
sealed with all of my race slain or imprisoned. Nil once again becomes
Shallamar, the Demon Lords regress into the Holy Eminations. The Earth
Plane once again sparkles with untold numbers of precious gems and no
longer causes its dwellers to become insane. The only place where the
Taint still exists is beyond Astral, imprisoned with Kethuru. In this
situation, what would you do? How would you proceed? In what direction
will your society turn? I suppose what I am trying to ask, Celest, is
this:

Who are you?
