An honest query...revised for ease of reading.

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 ofyour 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 people slain or imprisoned.

The situation is equally positive on other planes. Nil once again has
become 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?
