What should have been a virtuous cycle was effectively stuck in a rut. [k] @Kirschtaria The Foreign God wept to see the state of this planet,[sr]and decided to grace it with their presence. [k] @Kirschtaria As Crypters, our duty is to help the Lostbelts take root and become stronger than Proper Human History. [k] @Kirschtaria The King of Mages' answer to humanity's failure was to have other humans incinerate it, but not me. I choose to rewrite history, with the Foreign God's help. [k] @Kirschtaria People have had gods running the world behind the scenes since ancient times. They believed gods were both the planet itself, and the laws of nature that governed it. [k] @Kirschtaria But humanity lacked self-awareness.[sr]Those laws were meant to be used, not obeyed. [k] [charaFace G 5] @Kirschtaria It was that mistake that led to[sr]humanity and the gods parting ways. [k] @Kirschtaria Humanity did not forget the gods. They abandoned that possibility once they became unable to handle them. [k] [charaPut G 1200,-70] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 9] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Scáthach-Skadi ...

[k] @Kirschtaria You care for a mythological ecosystem that met its end in a self-imposed ruin, rather than one which ended when its people forgot it, like Greece. [k] @Kirschtaria Keep the Tree of Emptiness safe. As long as it exists,[sr]that Lostbelt will never vanish. [k] @Kirschtaria I implore you to turn your back on your fate, and to choose the path of survival. Once you do that, I would like nothing more than for you to face off against my own Tree of Emptiness. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Kirschtaria My Tree of Emptiness is already fully grown. [k] @Kirschtaria While the Norse world has Yggdrasil, a world tree that serves as the foundation of its every realm, Greece now has a Tree of Emptiness supporting the very heavens... [k] @Kirschtaria Thus, it has been dubbed the World Tree Atlas by my[sr]ally, the great god Zeus. [k] [charaFace G 1] @Kirschtaria Chaldeans, I can say that, as far as you are concerned,[sr]Atlas is your greatest and most important target. [k] @Kirschtaria The roots of my Lostbelt's Tree of Emptiness now cover eighty percent of the earth's surface. [k] @Kirschtaria Even if you succeed at cutting down every other Lostbelt's tree, you will never be able to restore Proper Human History so long as Atlas remains standing. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Kirschtaria Queen of Scandinavia, you are a god,[sr]and so I have high hopes for you. [k] @Kirschtaria ...Indeed, you could even think of this as the gods taking revenge on humans for usurping their throne. [k] @Kirschtaria As for me, I am prepared to make full use of the gods despite being human myself. [k] @Kirschtaria I will create a fully realized Age of Gods. A glorious history where human weakness is a thing of the past. [k] @Kirschtaria It will be a world that will endure no matter how heated human consciousness becomes. A place where life can flourish with neither deficit nor fragmentation. [k] @Kirschtaria Be warned that I will show no mercy to any who would stand in the way of that goal. I hope that, alongside Ophelia, you will choose the best possible future.

[k] @Ophelia Thanks to Lord Kirschtaria's leadership, we Crypters have already begun a new chronicle for humanity.

So he wishes to restore the Age of Gods,[sr]and help us take our revenge. Fascinating. [k] @Scáthach-Skadi Does that mean I am the closest to his ideal? [k] @Scáthach-Skadi If my Scandinavia's Tree of Emptiness were to continue growing as it is, it will eventually swallow up his Lostbelt as well... [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Ophelia Of course, Lord Kirschtaria would be perfectly happy with that outcome.

Caenis.[sr]I've heard that name before.
