The War... and Peace

Addressed to: Everyone
To the People of Lusternia, Celest, Magnagora, Serenwilde, The
Divine.... and more specifically, Estarra,
My grandparents came with Estarra to Lusternia, 102 years ago, I know
this much in my clouded memories. While you, Great Goddess, have shown
yourself to have compassion, I wonder, why do you let your children
fight on with no end in sight other than complete and utter destruction?
I'll explain...
If Celest wins, and the Light is restored to the Basin, Magnagora will
still exist to plague us constantly, never ceasing. The Taint belongs to
a Soulless one and thus it can never be fully removed from Lusternia, as
the Soulless ones themselves cannot. Thus the War will continue, until
eventually the people of the Light grow so desperate, they do something
they cannot take back. The slaying of the Fae, was one such act.
If Magnagora wins and the Light vanishes from Lusternia, then the Taint
will have dominion over all life on this Lusternian world... until it's
final day. Then there will be no hope. No chance for anything new.
Only a slow and lingering death.
So I ask only this. That you grant to the realm some power that will
bring about a time of peace. Where Celestians and Magnagorians can go
about day-to-day life without worrying about who is going to attack
their Cosmic plane next, or wether the shield of their city will fall.
I know that peace can be boring, but fighting constantly can be just as
bad. Do what thou will, Estarra, but have some meaning to it. It is all
I ask.
