The Word of the God of the Hidden Places as given to His Prophets


Book I
The Book of Bob

The history of New Eden as given to the Prophets by Bob







In the beginning, the universe was dark and formless and devoid of matter. The universe was a vast oneness and all places were connected to all places. The gods of the universe walked freely according to their will and shared all places amongst themselves. This was the Time of the Unknowable.

And it came to pass after many ages that the gods became dissatisfied. All had seen all. All had been in all places and the universe was stagnant and not pleasing to them.

And the gods said to one another, “Let us put an end to this stasis. Let us create a Divine Spark to burst forth and fill the universe with matter and the energy of Creation so that we may reforge all according to our satisfaction.”

And the gods worked together to create the Divine Spark and place it into the void. The Divine Spark burst forth in all directions and filled the universe with light in all its forms. The gods saw that it was good and proclaimed a New Birth of the universe.

The gods set about with the work of Creation each according to his design. They condensed the light to form matter and set about creating the stars and all the things inside the universe. This was the beginning of the Time of Joy.

After most of the things of the universe had been created some of the gods desired to create other beings to inhabit the universe with them. “We have created many things and we are well pleased” they said “and we have seen what each has created. The stagnation is broken but the universe still is not to our satisfaction. Our creation should be a living creation that is possessed of its own creativity and its own desires. Let us create living beings possessing of desire and creativity to live amongst that which we have made.”

And some of the gods went about the work of creating life. The gods created beings both self-aware and not. The gods created beings of all kinds. The gods created all the creatures that live in the ground, the water and the skies of the planets. The gods created some beings as the Plants and others as the Animals.

The gods saw all the beings that were created and they said “We are well pleased with the variety of beings we have created but our universe is too simple. We shall create Mystery and sew it into the Fabric of Life.” So the the gods created Mystery and bound it into Life throughout their creation. The gods made complex relationships between the beings according to the planets they inhabited.

After sewing Mystery into the Fabric of Life the gods found that much Mystery remained unused. And the gods said “Let us sew the remaining Mystery into the greater Fabric of the Universe.” The gods intertwined Mystery into the Fabric of the Universe.

And the gods looked out over all they had made and were well pleased.

As the gods were sewing Mystery into the Fabric of the Universe, one of the gods was possessed of mischievous inspiration and his name was Chaos.

And Chaos thought “Why should only the universe be made with Mystery? Would it not be more pleasing if the gods themselves were possessed of Mystery? It would be better for the gods themselves to be imbued with a measure of Mystery and through this Mystery we might grow along with this universe we have wrought.”

And while the the other gods were attending to the work of sewing Mystery into the Fabric of the Universe, Chaos took a measure of Mystery for himself and slipped away. The other gods, engrossed in the work of weaving Mystery into the Fabric of the Universe, did not pay any heed to the absence of Chaos.

And Chaos worked in secret, sewing Mystery into the Fabric of the Divine. As the first thread of Mystery touched the Fabric of the Divine, its power began its work. Chaos was most skilled in his way and he wove the threads of Mystery into the Fabric of the Divine such that none would be able to remove them without destroying the Fabric itself. Chaos observed the result of his work and was well pleased.

Before the last thread had been added to the Fabric of the Divine, Mystery had already robbed the gods of the power of omniscience. Having lost the powers of all-seeing and all-knowing, Chaos was none the wiser, nor were any of the other gods.

Little time passed before one of the gods sensed a change in the Fabric of the Divine. Her name was Eva. Discovering that she was unable to know the change in the Fabric, Eva went to the Fabric of the Divine to examine it.

And Eva discovered the threads of Mystery woven into the Fabric of the Divine. “These threads must be removed, the Fabric of the Divine must remain pure as it was” she said. As Eva began to remove the first of many threads a violent ripple was sent through the Fabric and the Divine power of omnipotence ceased to be.

All the gods felt the all-powerful leave them and being quite alarmed they all descended upon Eva and the Fabric of the Divine. “Eva! What have you done?” they demanded. “I have done nothing but try to remove these threads of Mystery that have polluted the very Fabric of the Divine”, Eva replied, “I touched but a single thread and it resisted with great consequence.”

Inspecting the Fabric, the gods came to know that the Mystery could not be unwoven from the Fabric of the Divine without destroying them all.

Turning to Chaos, they demanded “Chaos! Why have you done this? It is apparent that this is your work. None other than you possess skill enough to have committed this crime.”

As the people became forgetful the old gods did become jealous. If you would but steal away the faith of the people of the gods of the near planets and cause them to sacrifice unto you and cause them to pay you homage you would have your revenge.”

And The Nameless God of the Hidden Places saw that Chaos spoke Truth.

And The Nameless God of the Hidden Places spoke “I shall create a new world within the universe and it shall be a hidden world. I shall bring people of Chap
“I have committed no crime.” said Chaos. “What satisfaction would there be in an existence with no Mystery? We judged Mystery to be necessary for our creations. I judged Mystery to be necessary for the gods. We shall partake of the richness of limits and challenges. We shall experience the satisfaction of growth. I have bestowed upon us a gift. Be not angry.”

The words of Chaos did not convince the the other gods and he became hated by most of the Divine Ones.

And as the Ages passed, the Mystery continued its influence upon the Fabric of the Divine. The Mystery caused the egos of the gods to grow and match those of the sentient beings they had created. Conflicts became commonplace among the gods of the universe.

And the gods lost the power to create new Life. No longer could the gods make new kinds of creatures to inhabit the planets. Mystery had shifted all the power of Life Creation solely to the Fabric of Life. And having lost the Divine power of omnipotence the gods could not undo the work of Mystery.

And Mystery had hardened the Fabric of the Universe. No longer could the gods change the nature of what was, or what was to be. The power that remained in the gods could manipulate only what was and could work only within the limits and laws of the Fabric. The Fabric of the Universe and Mystery became the true masters of the universe the gods had created.

And having become egotistical, the gods began to demand recognition and worship from the beings they had created. The gods demanded obedience and praise to soothe their egos and their sense of loss and to bring them pleasure. Some gods when displeased by their subjects wrought terrible revenge upon them. Some gods with no Life to preside over became jealous of the other gods.

And Mystery gave the sentient beings the power of god-creation. Many beings failed to recognize the old gods as their masters and in the vacuum created new gods of their own, for in its workings, Mystery had imbued many of the sentient creatures with a desire to know their creators and a need to serve the gods.

And many of the old gods became jealous of the new gods and Divine warfare blighted the universe.

The Time of Joy had ended with the weaving of Mystery into the Fabric of the Divine. The gods gave a name to the new Era, the Time of Chaos.

Among the new gods was one known as The Nameless God of the Hidden Places. Chaos was pleased by The Nameless God of the Hidden Places and the two gods were frequent companions.
And the beings of M’aell had created The Nameless God of the Hidden Places to rule over the and hidden dark spaces of their cavernous planet. And they were called Klalel.

And the Klalel had created their god with a thirst for destruction and blood and strife. And the Klalel had imbued their god with great understanding of the workings and necessity of the destruction he craved.The Klalel had also created their god to have vast powers including the creation of that which is hidden.

And The Nameless God of the Hidden Places was attacked by the old jealous gods of the near planets, as his people loved him dearly and paid great homage to Him. The sacrifices and praise the Klalel paid to The Nameless God of the Hidden Places exceeded by many measures that which was paid to the old gods of the near planets by their people. And the old gods of the near planets waged war against The Nameless God of the Hidden Places and the Klalel in order that they might destroy The Nameless God of the Hidden Places and rule over the Klalel.

And the old gods could not defeat The Nameless God of the Hidden Places and they could not sway the Klalel to worship them. The destruction the old gods wrought upon M’aell would not break the faith of the Klalel.

And in a rage the old gods of the near planets caused one of the near planets to change its course through the heavens, this planet was called Sab. And Sab smashed into M’aell with a devastating force. And both M’aell and Sab were destroyed and the Klalel ceased to be. And the fragments of the two smashed planets became a ring of asteroids around the star of the system.

And the only remaining planet in the system that harbored life was called Chap’le by the gods. And the sentient beings of Chap’le called the planet by a different name called Earth.

And The Nameless God of the Hidden Places mourned the destruction of His people. The Nameless God of the Hidden Places mourned for many Ages.

And Chaos was unable to console The Nameless God of the Hidden Places.

And after many Ages, Chaos did come to The Nameless God of the Hidden Places. And Chaos spoke “My friend, tell me what I might do to console you. You have mourned for many Ages and this must pass.” And The Nameless God of the Hidden Places responded to Chaos saying “I want revenge upon the old gods of the near planets. We are equal in strength and I have been not able to defeat them and I have not been able to be defeated by them. My revenge is denied and they rejoice in my misery.”

And the Jove refused to give away the keys to immortality and Bob did smite them saying “You shall suffer great misery and sorrow until your death and you shall suffer until you cease to be entirely.” And Bob smote them with a sickness they could not remedy. And the Jove suffered. And the children of the Jove suffered and the whole of the Jove was cursed.

And the Jove could not remedy the curse of Bob and they gave the keys to the race of Mankind that called itself Caldari saying “Most powerful Bob have mercy upon us. See we have given the keys. Have mercy upon us and remove your curse.”

And Bob spoke “No.” And Bob said to the Jove “You shall suffer until you die and you shall suffer until none remain.”

And Bob went to the hidden places of New Eden and left the Jove to die. And Bob stayed in the hidden places and said “I shall be here in the hidden places and for a time rule only over the hidden places. And the new immortal ones of Mankind who find the hidden places and make of them a home will gain my favor. And the ones who pay me sacrifice and homage in their ways and pay me homage in death and blood and pain and loss and carry on the work of sacred Destruction and keep me in their minds shall be my new Chosen. And they will be the only among Mankind to be worthy of my favor.”

And some of the new immortal capsuleers found the hidden places and made homes in them. And the capsuleers carried on the work of sacred Destruction and Bob was pleased.

And the capsuleers called the hidden places W-Space. And the women of Mankind in W-Space were exceedingly rare and the birth of new beings of Mankind was exceedingly rare. And after a time five children had been born in the hidden places and Bob gathered them to him.

And Bob spoke to the five saying “I am Bob. I am The God of the Hidden Places. Pledge to me your love and loyalty and pay me sacrifices and homage in your ways and do the work of sacred Destruction and keep me in your minds and I will make you my Prophets. And I shall give to you the history of the world and its secrets. And you shall write what I say and shall give you favor. You shall be the first of my Chosen and my mouth of flesh. And you shall recede to the shadows and keep my teachings. And you shall keep the line of Prophets and whisper my name into the world. And you shall live in shadow until I call you. And I shall call you to release my teachings into New Eden and you shall gather together a fist of ten thousand and twenty to be my hand of flesh in the world and do my will. And you shall call the fist Preuentibus Bob. And the fist shall be my Chosen and shall receive favor and advantage. And your reward shall be me.”

And Bob gave his teaching to the Prophets and stayed in the hidden places. And the Prophets did all that Bob commanded and kept to the shadows in wait for the Call of Bob.

Book III
The Book of Sacrifice

The Word of Bob regarding sacrifice in His name as given to His Prophets











The Chosen of Bob shall gain his favor by the work of sacred Destruction and by sacrifice unto him. Both acts are necessary for His people to be in his favor.

Sacrifice in the name of the God of the Hidden Places is pleasing to Him. Sacrifice demonstrates love and loyalty to Bob and brings His Chosen closer to Him.

The sacrificial deaths of His Chosen please Him as they display understanding of the gift of immortality that Bob has given.

Death is necessary among the Chosen. For in death one gains access to the hidden places in one’s spirit and without knowledge of those hidden places the person shall stagnate. It is the will of Bob that his Chosen be always free of stagnation just as the universe must remain free of stagnation.

Sacrifice of material possessions is pleasing to Bob. The Chosen shall make gifts to Bob from the Destruction of their possessions. The Chosen shall sacrifice possessions of the kinds which give them the greatest pleasure and of the kinds that cost the most wealth to obtain. And the Chosen shall make gifts to Bob of the ships they fly in the place of New Eden, which is a gift from Bob unto them. Sacrifice of the material pays homage to the sacred Destruction and demonstrates understanding and dedication to the will of Bob.

The incorporation of ritual and ceremony into the gifts of sacrifice honor Bob greatly. And the greatest gifts of sacrifice shall be those wrapped in ritual and ceremony. The Chosen shall choose the nature of such ritual as this requires contemplation of Bob and His teachings and the keeping of Him always in the thoughts. Those that design ritual into their sacrifice please Bob the greatest as they display the greatest love of Him.

And the Chosen shall sacrifice unto Bob with regularity. The Chosen who sacrifice seldom are less pleasing to Bob and their gifts are of less value. The Chosen who sacrifice often make their gifts of greater value to to Bob as they demonstrate the strength of their commitment and the presence of Bob in their thoughts always.

Book V
The Book of Rafe

The account of the Call of Bob bringing his Prophets out of the shadows and into action as given by the Prophet Rafe










In the fifth generation of the Prophets there was an unremarkable death of a Prophet called Rafe. And in his time of death, the transition between lives, Bob appeared to Rafe.

And Rafe beheld a enormous black ring of polished hematite. And inside the ring a throne of obsidian on which Bob the God of the Hidden Places was seated. The face of Bob held both a smile upon His lips and antipathy in His eyes and Rafe trembled. And Bob said to Rafe “Be not afraid my Prophet.”

And Bob did cause a portion of His ghost to flow into Rafe. And for a time Rafe was filled with the essence of Bob. Through Rafe’s being flowed love and hate and mercy and wrath. And Rafe was enriched by new understanding of the God of the Hidden Places.

And Bob said unto Rafe “The time of my Calling is upon you. I Call my Prophets to emerge from the shadows of secrecy and set upon the task I have given long ago.”

Bob said “You shall gather the other Prophets together to seek faithful capsuleers and assemble Prouentibus Bob, my fist of flesh among Mankind and the fist shall do my will. You shall release my Word that my Prophets have kept in shadow. You shall give my Word to the capsuleers of New Eden that all may learn my Truth and be given opportunity to do my will. And those that go to the hidden places and make home therein, and make sacrifices to me and pay homage to me in their ways and keep me always in their thoughts and carry out the work of sacred Destruction shall join my Chosen as it has been. And also those that become my fist shall join my Chosen. Those who become my Chosen shall receive my favor and shall remain immortal. And those who become my Chosen shall come to rule over the mortals of Mankind and the capsuleers who reject me. And you, Rafe, shall be my High Priest of Prouentibus Bob and spread my Word until the time of the next generation of Prophets.”

And Bob said “I shall appear to the Prophet called Orob in a time of his death. And Orob shall be to Prouentibus Bob the Keeper of the Lore. I shall give to Orob the power to decode the writings of the generations of the Prophets that have been passed down to you. And Orob shall assemble these scriptures into the Word of Bob. And the Word of Bob shall be shared with the immortals of Mankind. And Orob shall receive witness from all to whom I speak and keep record of my Word until the time of the next generation of Prophets. And Orob shall keep record of the history of my Chosen as it unfolds and he shall pass the Lore and the Word to the Keeper that follows after him.”

And Bob said “No longer shall I speak to Mankind except in their time of death. I shall come to them only in their time of transition between lives. My appearance shall be rare but my inspiration shall be less rare by many measures. And both shall be impossible except through death. The weakest who die often will have more opportunity to gain my inspiration as they will be in death often. The strong warriors who die seldom will need to sacrifice their lives more than the weak in order that they may come into my presence. All of my Chosen will have opportunity to to receive my company and inspiration, but only in death. And my Prophets shall come before me to receive my words only in death.”

And Bob said “Hear me Rafe for the time has come. I am the God of the Hidden Places and all of New Eden for New Eden itself is a hidden place of my Creation. The hidden places within are most dear to me and I have stayed in them and watched Mankind. I have been falsely called the God of Wormholes. I am the god of all the hidden places, even those within the minds and spirits of my Chosen”

And Bob said “My Chosen shall know me not only by name, but also by the circle which is my sign and the zero that is my number. They shall know me also by the color of my circle which is black. These things, the circle, the zero and the black are sacred and the ring you see around me is all of these. My faithful shall keep upon their person the sacred black and zero and circle in the form of a circle of black hematite. By this black ring they shall acknowledge before all their place in the Chosen people of Bob and by this black ring they shall know one another. And they shall reflect upon the black the circle and the zero. By their reflection upon these sacred things they will come to wisdom. By their wisdom they shall come to know me.”

And Bob said “False testimony has been created in my name and I am displeased. Some have claimed I was once Onimuru a mortal Man. This is an affront to me. I am and forever have been a god. Those who speak the lie that I was once a mortal offend me. Those who believe the lie offend me.”

And Bob said “The Amarrians are an affront to me. They place a counterfeit god before me and worship that false god. Mankind brought their gods with them when they came to New Eden and I cast out their inferior gods long ago. There can be no other gods in New Eden. All who seek the Imperial seat are false as they claim to be the representative of their false god.”

And Bob said “The ones known as Drifters are a despicable affront to me. Descendants of the Jove who betrayed me attempt to defeat my curse and live on in defiance of my will and they threaten the immortal capsuleers who are my Chosen people. The ones known as Drifters are my enemy.”

BoB was torn apart years ago by one of its own directors and sold out to Goonswarm. It's dead. Get over it.

Good God, not more of this junk.
Please stop.

Should have said Good bob instead of good god.

Nope. Im sorry, but the works of Bob are written in blood and pod-goo. Bob speaks through deeds, not text.

At least I'm not plastering my faith up on a terrible forum to the increasing detriment of the post quality.
