The Danger of Conspiracy Theories Within The Ennead Subculture
What do you get when a group of paranoid anonymous persons partake in a clandestine subculture?
The target for this question is the O9A (not to be confused with the ONA). Within the O9A there are decentralised cells that work individually to express whatever interpretation of O9A texts they want as part of the system of the Authority of Individual Judgement. On paper, this sounds like a perfect system, alchemically and operational security-wise, yet there is one nefarious factor often overlooked that comes with this system: social conditioning.
There is a specific kind of self-applied classical conditioning unique to cyber space, wherein encountering the daily use of anonymous profiles and modified personalities forces a user to restructure their expectations of what a healthy social interaction should consist of.
When away from our cyber wonderland, we conduct ourselves openly. No well-adjusted person approaches a new social interaction wearing a balaclava and proceeds to introduce themselves to the other person as SharpSatanist666 because that’s borderline certifiable, yet when navigating cyber space this is exactly what we do, and for good reason — bar the provocative name. Online anonymity is good practice, but when that becomes the standard of our daily communication, problems begin to arise.

If you have become accustomed to interacting with people who use what is essentially an ideal form, in a Platonist sense, of what they desire to be, you have conditioned yourself into basing your trust on who has the most impressive ideal form that compliments your ideal form, thus you have swapped evidence for conjecture. The system you use, when out in society, to determine a person’s authenticity has been flipped. Instead of starting from a position of what you can observe — facial expressions, body language, etc., then forming an opinion, and then accumulating evidence that either validates or invalidates your theory of that person, you start from a position of what you think you are observing, then form an opinion, and then accumulate information about the person behind the online profile that either validates or invalidates your theory of them; but, such validations and invalidations are based on the online profile, not the person behind the profile.
Thus, the probability of ascertaining truth from a cyber interaction is considerably lower than that of a face-to-face interaction. When you accept this as your standard expectation for a social relationship, you open yourself up to manipulation and ‘gas-lighting’, as the youth are fond of saying. When this accepted social standard is compounded with a clandestine subculture like the O9A it creates the space for the emergence of conspiracy theories, that is to say a theory of conspiracy not backed by evidence beyond the potentially circumstantial, as opposed to conspiracies, which are backed by hard evidence.

An example of a conspiracy within the O9A is Sutter working with the FBI and subverting the Temple of Blood after Karnac Velton’s tenure [i]. This is a conspiracy because there is documentation and testimony confirming Sutter’s actions and the FBI’s involvement from both the accuser and the accused, but there exists no small number of circulated, baseless theories, sans hard evidence, that are ‘gas-lighting’ adherents of the sinister tradition, causing them to become paranoid, neurotic individuals that are one comment short of a tinfoil hat.
Paranoia is an insidious killer. If you succumb too greatly to it you will be unable to make rational judgements; you will assume the worst of your friends and family; you will ostracise yourself by virtue of your delusions, attracting only the deluded and creating a social contagion, a community of paranoid- fuelled conspiracy theorists. The culmination of this sustained Folie à plusiers [ii] (which begins with Folie communiquee) [iii] — once the delusion has dissipated — is misery, regret, self-hatred and demoralisation, a potent negative cocktail that often ends in tragedy.
It goes without saying that sinister adherents encounter a lot of challenging scenarios both causal and acausal, so keeping a level head is paramount to preventing an involuntary renouncing of the sinister quest, or worse. We must therefore look after our mental health, as it’s the last line of defence against psychosis; and at all costs, we must prevent ourselves from becoming victims of conspiracy theories that threaten to impede the great work and the revitalised community that is being built by each and every one of us.

[ii] Folie à plusiers is a French psychiatric term for delusions that are transmitted from one person suffering from psychosis to a group closely associated with that person. The delusions are then propagated by both ‘patient zero’ and the group, reinforcing and escalating one another’s delusions simultaneously.
[iii] Folie communiquee is a French psychiatric term for delusions that are transmitted from one person suffering with psychosis to another that is not, via that other person having an intimate relationship with the psychotic individual. This individual proceeds to infect the non-psychotic individual with their delusions, creating an environment in which the delusions are sustained and enhanced by one another. The article Coexistence of folie communiquée and folie simultanée, published by the International Journal of Psychiatry in Clinical Practice (July 2009), yields further information on the phenomenon.
Magical Socialism – Reposted
We would like to bring attention to this very interesting article written by a third party.
Magical Socialism Disclaimer: again, unfortunately, decades of fanaticism with the o9a has left me with few exterior examples to draw from to make anecdotal points. So, they must again be mentioned here. Despite trying to do so, either by Ryan or Chloe, it became apparent that the diversity of nexions can never be ruled by […]

Λόγος & ἁμαρτία: Larvae in the 09A
Prefatory Note:
The evidence featured within this text has been mostly acquired from sources that are in the public domain, that may or may not have been hidden in plain sight, and the remainder was held within the private domain.
°°°
The content creator known as Interzone Analysis has been generating some interesting discussions in the comment section of a video of his titled: The Absolute State of the O9A. “Niners”, described by Chloe as freelance operatives that self-identify with the O9A, have been arriving in small numbers to discuss what contributed to the downfall of the O9A and what can be done to turn it around. Among the Niners, we were pleasantly surprised to see a well-known name giving his opinion. It was none other than Nameless Therein, back from obscurity after publicly swearing in an article published by him on the o9a dot-org website (that was deleted shortly after his very public and passionate disavowal) that he would not return.
[The comment by Nameless Therein has been pinned by Interzone at the time of writing] While the original o9a dot-org post titled ‘Conspectus’ has been deleted by Brett Stevens, Nameless Therein’s heartfelt resignation can be found at the following link:
https://web.archive.org/web/20230329092534/http://o9a.org/
From his return and the gathering of self-stylised shepherds intent on taking control of O9A, but currently without the courage to do so, it’s clear that there is a becoming, unified logos among Niners that is propelling them in an effort to return beauty to that which is now ugly. The only problem with this coming quest is that the O9A has always been rottenness anticipating ever since the ONA returned to the dark in 1998 e.v (Beest, 1998).
°°°
What the MS Terfyniad brings into question is the allegation made in the infamous email between BX and Chloe, in which she stated that the Order of Nine Angles did not exist as a physical entity in what she referred to as “phase one.”
For reference: phase one, or P1, is the era attributed to the elusive entity known as the ‘old guard’.
If Chloe’s allegation was true, why would Christos Beest, a man that has nothing short of an honourable reputation within the Sinister Tradition, feel the need to announce that the ONA would be returning to the dark, and why would he dissolve Rigel Press (Terfyniad, 1998) Furthermore, why would Order of the Deorc Fyre also follow that example soon after (Williams, n.d.)?
Keeping in mind an ODF member moved to England to become a representative of ODF (Williams, n.d.), does this not speak to the existence of a very real and connected clandestine ONA network? For what other reason would an entity that grew out of The Black Order, which had by then been relocated to England (Erda, n.d.), have for also going dark at “some point after 1997”?
“The ultimate withdrawal of the ODF from the public domain occurred at some point after 1997 (the exact date remains unknown to the present writer). Initially, as far as I am aware, the ODF went ‘underground’ imitating the withdrawal of the ONA.”
Order of The Deorc Fyre: Overview
°°°
Thus, without any proof provided by Chloe to substantiate the claim she made in the email, her allegation of the ONA not existing as a physical entity in phase one is nothing more than conjecture, and even causes the questioning of whether she really was on the inside of the ONA, or whether she was just another victim of the machinations of Sutter’s O9A.
One testimony from Ryan of Temple of Them certainly calls into question the validity of her character in an agency capacity. According to Ryan, Chloe advocated the weaponising of pedophilia against mundanes (Temple of Them, 2023), which to rational and deductive minds should introduce the very real possibility that Chloe had a much closer relationship to Sutter’s activities than initially believed, and if this was indeed the case, she would naturally have a motivation to sully other reputations in order to protect her own.
“I was present in the O9A forum’s when two prominent members, DL9 and Chloe both advocated pedophilia as a strategy against mundanes; a suggestion met by others in the forum with mixed response.”
– Temple of Them.
For clarification, O9A is what became of the public remnants of the ONA after they left the public stage and Rigel Press was dissolved by Christos Beest (Beest, 1998). The distinction between ONA and O9A must now be made clear.
°°° ° °°°
ONA:
The ONA, which has been in the dark since 1998 e.v, was never exported from the British Isles. It never possessed the concept of the Authority of Individual Judgement, that is to say the ONA had hierarchy, rules, standards, ethics et al. An individual could not just “become it”, they had to endure and persevere through a personal quest of occult adjacent pathei-mathos before they would even learn what it was they were involved in, and even then all efforts would be sought to hide the truth, not as a deliberate intention to deceive for some personal abstract goal of another, but as part of the alchemical processes of Nigredo, Albedo and Rubedo. Thus, the secrecy of the ‘old guard’ (so often remarked upon in a negative light) is necessary for the production of genuine adepts, as any serious student or scholar of traditional western alchemy will agree.
O9A:
The O9A is the opposite. Anyone can become a ‘member’ because there is no hierarchy, no traditional initiation, no rules, no expectations and no stipulations as to what constitutes a temple/nexion (beyond the flawed Code of Kindred Honour), allowing the opportunity for charlatans to exploit genuine persons interested in the Longusian Tradition; for people to act in ways antithetical to ONA ethics without being held accountable. This is the legacy of the Authority of Individual Judgement. Therefore, the blame that is illogically placed on the ‘old guard’ for ruining the O9A is tragically misplaced. The only thing they can be held responsible for is contributing to the O9A’s creation by returning the ONA to the dark, but to assign blame to them based on a decision that protected the best parts of the Sinister Tradition from corruption is nothing short of childish.
To those people that assign blame to the old guard for some perceived ruining of their lives, we say grow up! Take responsibility for your own actions, your own failings; own that you failed their tests and fell for the machinations of those that were/are operating under the O9A banner.
Despite all of this, the old guard has taken responsibility for O9A and are actively trying to elucidate to those that will listen, that the Longusian Tradition could not be further in quintessence and texture from the Sutterian Frankenstein’s Monster that is the O9A.
The Skeleton in the Wall: Project Polaris
Beginning with yet another piece of evidence that implicates Chloe, as such an implication pertains to intimate knowledge of Sutter’s sexual exploitation of children, we find an email chain titled Project Polaris, replete with a sign-off from Chloe and endorsement from Sutter (Jack McLeod) for the instillation of a new outer representative named Jall.
PDF for the email chain can be found HERE Click to Download
For the unaware, Project Polaris was also the name for a website which featured indecent images of children with a certain ‘uncomfortable suggestiveness’. The Archive link will be provided as evidence but viewer discretion is heavily advised due to the nature of the content.
https://web.archive.org/web/20140130202150/http://projectpolaris.net/
Also provided is the website data for Project Polaris’ active periods, which reveals a large gap between when the website domain was bought and shelved using a [dot] net extension (2011) and when it began publishing content (2014) once it switched to a [dot] org extension. The date of March 2014 is cardinal because the email chain titled Project Polaris is from February 2014, revealing that Jall was elected as outer representative by Chloe, and endorsed by Sutter, just a month prior to the posting of content from the Project Polaris website.

Whisperers of ONA 1.0 (pre-internet/ONA)
In an article published on theo9away.wordpress.com titled: The Metaphorical O9A, the ‘old guard’ disclosed a familiar statement regarding the nature of what they term ‘ONA 1.0’.
“Crucially, ONA 1.0 was devoid of satanism, theological and ritualized; there was no Labyrinthos Mythologicus with its tests, japes, and misdirections; no dialectical engagement in the world by means of Insight Roles, or through politics or otherwise; and no support for whatever antinomian reason of National Socialism.”
– The Metaphorical O9A
https://theo9away.wordpress.com/2024/08/18/ona-1-0-and-ona-2-0/
This statement is familiar because it is essentially a reworded explanation for the Rounwytha Tradition written by Anton Long in The Rounwytha Way in History and Modern Context.
“The Rouning tradition was and is one centred on certain gifts, certain skills, and is distinct in many ways, for instance:
i) There are no named deities or divinities or ‘spirits’. No ‘gods’, no ‘goddess’. No demons.
ii) There are no spells or conjurations or spoken charms or curses; no ‘secret scripts’ and no ‘secret teachings’; indeed no teachings at all.
iii) There are no ‘secret book(s)’ or manuscripts; indeed, there are no writings.
iv) There are no ritual or Occult or ‘wiccan’ or ‘satanist’ elements at all.
v) There is no calendar, as calendars are usually understood, and thus no set dates/times for festivities or commemorations.
vi) There are no oaths made, no pledges written or said.
vii) There is no organization, no dogma, no codification of beliefs, no leader(s), no hierarchy, and no stages or grades of ‘attainment’.”
– The Rounwytha Way in History and Modern Context
Yet, what does this correlation reveal? It reveals to those capable of deductive reasoning that what is termed ONA 1.0 was actually the Camlad Rounwytha Tradition in totality, sans ‘satanism’, sans politics, sans societal engagement and so on as stated. The reason why the ‘old guard’ didn’t outright state that ONA 1.0 was the outer shell for the Rounwytha Tradition is something only they know, but given their propensity for a ‘shadowy guiding hand’ rather than clear instruction, it could be posited that learning this now apparent correlation between ONA 1.0 and the Rounwytha Tradition was part of the quest for Lapis Philosophicus. Regardless, it is highly challenging, even disingenuous, to deny the thesis of ONA 1.0 equaling the Camlad Rouning, at least until such a time that the ‘old guard’ provide an antithesis so that we may arrive at the synthesis of truth via the Hegelian dialectic. Thus, the dialogue of opposites should – for now – rightly be “The Rounwtha Tradition and O9A” (or Rounwytha vs O9A), not “ONA 1.0 and ONA 2.0 (O9A)”.
This new suggested distinction removes a lot of confusion and conflated presuppositions, which will assist all with attaining the truth should they desire to discover it.
Note: One crucial point to note is that Anton Long inherited the Rounwytha Tradition, thus the designation of the ‘Longusian Tradition’ as a representative of a revitalised and growing ‘ONA 1.0’ is just as authentic a designation as The Rounwytha Tradition.
°°° °°° °°°
The O9A Going Forward:
The O9A is still alive and kicking because it has no hierarchy, thus no one with the authority to put it out of its misery. With concerns to the Niners debating whether they should take control of the O9A situation: more power to them. They have the authority to take control because there is no inherent authority. In conclusion, we wish Interzone and the Niners all the best with their alchemical crusade to transmute the O9A (1998-present) into something numinous, honourable and interesting.

O9A. ONA Outer Representative (Email). 2014.
E264B: Guest Article – John Davis
The term ‘extraterrestrial’ has been used to refer most frequently to the potential existence of a species that is not carbon-based, not subject to the laws of causal time and space, and often beyond our accustomed perception. Unfortunately, such a term has become suppositionally equated with the fantastical notion of the ‘Little Green Man’, owed to the regurgitation of stereotypes perpetuated by the media-industrial-complex.
In recent years a change in the framework of extraterrestrial dialectics has seen governments and their agencies approve the change from Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), even committing departments and teams to investigate such things (NASA, 2022). Yet, what does this tell us?
The Reflected Revealed – One Ritual of Shamanic and Necromantic Channeling
Find a location where the bones of an animal have been buried and arrange several medium-sized stones in a henge to resemble the symbol of the A:O. Once night has fallen, place two candles on the left and right side of the A:O symbol, using lanterns to protect the candles from the wind if necessary.
Beginning at the top of the symbol, walk widdershins around the stones while using the shaker, ensuring the rhythm of the shaking is akin to a heartbeat. One rotation translates to one reverse revolution of the Earth around the Sun, so walk around the stones until the number of revolutions reaches the year in which the animal perished. If you do not possess that knowledge, cease when it feels right, ending where you began.
Walk through the centre of the stones, turn around and kneel in front of the bottom of the A:O symbol. Focus on the area where the bones are situated and visualise the essence outline of the animal rising from its resting place, its luminescent colour corresponding to the emotion it felt at the moment of its passing. Allow yourself to become a nexion for the spirit of the animal: roar, scream, yelp, whimper. Be honest about what you feel from the animal and channel it into wondrous expression, permitting it to change you, shift you, into the animal.
Before long, exhaustion will take root. You will collapse to the floor and be presented with the option to close your eyes and engage the visions that come, or enjoy the chthonic emptiness of the night sky above.
Addendum: Crafting the Shaker
For the construction of the shaker the following ingredients and equipment are required: 1 fabric pouch, 2 small glass vials (with corks), 3 small pieces of quartz, seeds, blood-infused salt or soil and several tiny stones.
Begin by filling the pouch with some salt. Add the tiny stones to the glass vials, fill them a quarter of the way, seal them, and then add them – plus the rest of the ingredients – to the pouch. Make sure the contents of the pouch have enough room to clash, lest an underwhelming sound be generated upon shaking.
Penultimately, fasten several bone fragments to a length of string and tie it around the pouch about an inch below the top, proceeding to seal the top of the pouch with hot wax. Lastly, attach the sigil or symbol relevant to the working(s) that the shaker will be used for by drawing the sigil/symbol on a small piece of parchment and sealing it against the pouch with hot wax.
The Currents of Wyrd
Wyrd is an odd word, it looks like “word” and sounds like “weird”. Yet… Wyrd is the underlying fabric of the Nine Worlds and one of the central concepts of Druwydry. The rudimentary definition is something like “the course of events” or ” The Cosmic Fates”. A more intuitive understanding might be “what is to come”. In Druwydry, Wyrd represents the powerful currents of influence that control how events unfold in linear time. It is possible to displace the flow of Wyrd that is revealed through a specific alignment of The Mastery and Deed.
A Self-Centric Eye (the Master I)
Every Western institution over the past 100 years has been designed to manufacture “sleepers” that obey. This happens because the Magians and Puritans idealize putting others above ourselves. This is a monumental err. Literally putting the cart before the horse and then putting full cup blinkers on it. Selflessness benefits none in the long term and only benefits opportunistically in the short term.
Deep down, everyone knows this is true. Self-centrism is extremely frowned upon, yet everyone practices it and dresses it up in the disguise of selflessness. By becoming self-centric, you begin to pay attention and become sensitive to what impacts you directly. Developing a deeper understanding of what influences you and in what way. Without that understanding you are a vessel adrift without anchor or sail undoubtedly heading towards the rapids and rocks. Torn and shredded pieces are destined to settle into the river bed, somewhere downstream.
A correction is in order. It is necessary to embrace self as priority and in this begin the seeding of essence. What grows from the seeds? An authentic understanding of who you are, where you are, what you like, and what motivates you. This is the fundamental basis of self-remembering. Creating awareness simultaneously of what is known and the knower. Awareness of the deed and the doer.
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
We are taught the results of being self-centric is devastating and destructive. Somehow it is corrosive to our collective relationships. Self-centrism is falsely construed as selfishness. In accordance, it is thought that it creates no contribution to the “greater society at large”. Yet a survey of the landscape tells a different story.
The wretched who care only about themselves seem to live forever. The ruthless businessman gets richer and more powerful. The self-obsessed athlete becomes the best in his game. The politician rises in his influence and reach. In a very real sense Satan is King of this World. The nature of this world is adversarial and the road to hell is always paved with good intentions
Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, Pride. All said to be deadly Sins. However in a controlled and deliberate use, we are led to the path of freedom and prosperity. Lust leads to the fulfillment of sexual needs. Gluttony brings forth a fullness of living. Envy creates motivation and drive to improve your station. Pride brings a focus to constantly refine and develop the self. Greed to financial fulfillment. Wrath to justice. Sloth to emancipation from fruitless labor.
Perilously Traverse the Currents of Wyrd
We live in a dangerous world. Everything is surely trying to kill us, even Destiny herself. Nythra will not be denied. Yet under the Moonlight, there’s a winding staircase that leads to the blue room of Mars. It is here in The Dark Pools that we can divine the Currents of Wyrd. Given we have the foresight, that is the occult abilities to; chart our course along the ebbs and flows of the Great River as it’s rushing.
We can apprehend Cosmic Emanation, as we see the spring forming the Dark Pool. It begins to stream outwardly. The stream eventually feeding into the Great River. I close this entry with a quote from Magister Hagur. May your Travels be by your revealed Wyrd.
“Shugara, highly developed intellectually and greatly motivated achieves objectivity wherever he is found, bringing about the deep sinister intent. The Dark God is influenced by the planets Moon and Mars, responding to their attraction, ever ready to transmit its energies to all those contemplating the Tree of Wyrd as a way of sinister living, and this means:
(1) Endeavouring to arrive at an absolute sinister motive.
(2) The ability to enter in the silence of the chaotic mind to realise the sinister way.
(3) Remembering at all time the strict self-disciplined life, which
does not mean that life is undone of sensual perception, on the contrary it does stir up a well-balanced dark life.
(4) Using self-control facing the unknown.
(5) Not to scatter innate sinister forces vainly, but focus them to a particular sinister goal. “ – Hagur
Genesys of the Darkhorse
In the beginning, man and woman were free to be one with nature. They endured and figured out how to survive its laws, learning through trial, error, and from other animals. As they evolved they came together as human packs to increase their probability of survival, forming tribes and small communities. Then the tribes increased in size, expanding beyond their hunting grounds and into the greater kingdom of nature. The survival rate and territory of the other animals started to decline with the passing of time as humanity established itself as the apex predator. With nothing aside from natural disasters and disease to challenge man & woman’s dominion they continued to expand exponentially, taking the lion’s share of resources and living-space.
As time marched on the human race imagined itself among the stars and heavens, beginning to see itself as a separate entity of the animal kingdom. Our societies & ways of life changed to reflect our delusion, and we were reincarnated as an aberration of nature with excessive consciousness. The conceptualisation of our experiences grew more artificial and our problem-solving became more cerebral. We solved anatomical puzzles, split the atom, and reached the stars, only to realise that existence was more complex and mechanical than we initially thought, culminating in the atrophy of our hunter-gatherer genetics and the psychosis of our 21st century existence.
The human animal is now an estranged creature ensnared by a manic hysteria of its own making. Due to the grooming and pressures of society we subconsciously agreed upon rules to live by which exist in contrast to our nature. As our familial bonds have subsided for various reasons we no longer have the environment which encouraged this nurtured learning, leaving a void in our understanding of the world and each other. No longer can we as a species default to the animalistic nature which helped our evolution to this point, leaving an altogether confused animal locked in an empty room with full awareness of the futility of its own existence.
The Darkhorse kicks…
Nochtadh Cosmaí – Further into Cosmic Revelation
Recently a YouTuber asked me if I was a Satanist. It’s been a long time since I was asked that question. I answered in the affirmative, and elaborated in it by stating in the most proactive sense of the term. In retrospect, this answer doesn’t take it far enough. So I thought I might try to flush it out more here. So let’s go ahead and devil into this.
There are 3 things to know about my Satanism. First as I see it, there truly cannot be an -ism when it comes to what is Satanic. After all, how does one practice Satan? What kind of system is Satan? What is Satan’s philosophy exactly?
Satan means Adversary, Accuser, Enemy, and One who plots against. Why not just call it Adversarialism or even Enemyism? Perhaps that is because our mind associates more then Adversity or plotting to it.
There are aspects beyond those that come to mind. Think about this, what does the word Satan invoke? In a nutshell, the first thing you should know about my Satanism is that it is not Satanism. It is Diabolism.
Diabolism places us firmly in the second thing to know. What is Satanic, is the observable state of nature. That is to say, it is the natural worldly order. We as terrestrial beings are part of this order. The simplest thing I can point to that illustrates this is the food chain.
There are many other examples of what makes it the state of nature. To further investigate this, I will point you to two titles; the Lucifer Principle by Howard Bloom and Postmodern Satanism by Jason King. Both in my opinion are essential reads.
It is undeniably obvious life is a competition for resources. There is not a species on this cosmic dirt ball, that doesn’t participate. The end game is simple, survive and thrive. What it means to thrive can sound atrocious to a naive mind. Yet it remains the natural worldly order.
In the natural worldly order, what can be reduced to simply thriving; will be labeled monstrous or heinous. As the saying goes, one man’s hell is another’s heaven. The devilish ranks of which swell with each passing day.
Since I was a boy, I have pondered the thin-lined divide of Devil/Satan/Lucifer. Are they separate entities? Is it the same being going by different aliases? I wonder is it something different entirely? Religions seem to reveal more of our nature, than answer any eternal questions. Leaving us with dissatisfaction and dogma. For this while the cat is away, the mice will play.
In keeping true to the natural worldly order; king of the hill is the favorite game to play. It is a no-holds-barred free-for-all with only one rule. The rule is “There can only be one”.
As one ascends to his metaphorical throne, he then basks in his Luciferian glory and grandeur. The next comes along and casts him down to take the throne. Each one proclaiming not to be unlike the most high.
Thus the Morning Star is born to RISE. It can only be fitting that in the same way, all things must strive. One above and one below, a balance is stuck. The enemy can now be perceived.
This brings me about to face the third understanding. Those who take the mantle of Diablo, pledge to be the counter-weight. Tasked by the natural worldly order to perpetuate it’s delicate balance. Lest we stagnant and erode into extinction.
Sorry for the brevity. Just some things on my mind.
