3921 Journal of a Philosopher V; Elindor's Travels Jerry_Man This entry may consist entirely of my thoughts, but I've been wondering... The Ascended do the work of Aeriel, who is an Aengul and an immortal creature that serves God. So in balance the Undead do the work of Iblees, who is a Daemon and likewise immortal subject of God. With the assumption that Aegis is a trial period for us mortals to pick a side before our lives end, then we would be taken out of our mortal bodies to be made another form. Does this mean that the Undead, who are in a sense immortal, have chosen their side and moved on? :: Given the choice of being Undead for an eternity or absolutely anything else, I don't think any amount of tempting power could have me settle for wandering around Aegis slowly disintegrating. But what if I'm seeing it wrong? Perhaos they have received an enlightenment that they desire to share with us mortals. An enlightenment that stinks of rotting flesh and hungers to tear muscles from bone and be drenched in warm blood. ::I think I should seek a druid.
