The Everlasting Journey

Greetings Lusternians,
Many people know all about why I am leaving already, but for those of
you who have not heard, I did not wish to leave you in the dark.
I recently felt the knowledge that my time in the First World was
drawing to a close, at least for now. This was made clear when I
received a summons from My brother elsewhere in Creation. For a reason
unknown to Me he has sent Me the understanding that I must join him in
his endeavours during his wanderings. I am not sure how long I will be
absent from the Basin, indeed I do not know how long it will take Me to
find My brother in the vast cosmos.
To the Serenwilde, I have guided you as a commune for some time now, at
least in mortal reckoning, and I can say that I am proud of you.
Serenwilde has grown from a nation torn apart by arguing and bickering
every other month to a solid and driven organisation, working hard to
keep its place in the world. It has warmed ever part of the Awakener
within Me to see you all grow, both as individuals and as a community. I
leave you now, but not abandoned, you are in the capable hands of
Charune. I encourage you to pass the patronage of the commune and its
guilds to him in My absence, as once I was passed them from Auseklis.
To the Lisae, My dearest children, though you will ever be in My
thoughts, with My passing passes too My Divine Order. We have been a
close and tight-knit group, but I have always encouraged you to view My
following as a relationship between Us all, and not a set segment of
ideals. Although this has been wonderful while I was here to guide you,
at least when I was able, I do not believe that as an organisation the
Lisae would work well without a Patron. I would also not wish for you to
be bound to an empty Order through loyalty to Me, and for all these
reasons, I am dissolving the Order. I wish you all well in whatever you
choose to do.
To the Basin in general, remember that you are all kin. Every mortal is
brother to each other, indeed even the Gods share kinship with you
through Our mother Dynara. Remember that each of you holds the most
precious thing in all of Creation, a unique soul that you can work to
develop and improve and Awaken on your own. Do not fear change, like
this change, but embrace life and make a better world through it.
I will miss you all, but no goodbye is forever.
Lisaera, the Silver Goddess
