Intergalactic Summit

Perhaps at this very moment, Tibus Heth knocks at the Gates of Paradise. And the Damned, who forever and futilely swarm the gates that for each man are opened only once, scream at him their hate —

— Tyrant! But the Damned forget that the Scriptures say, "The enemies of the outside had to be defeated and the enemies of the inside controlled. Free Thought is the begetter of Disorder."

— Warmonger! But the Damned forget the stirring words of Mekioth Sarum, "War is not hell, far from it. War is beautiful. War is divine."

But the Serifam who guard the Gates of Paradise heed not the Damned. And when they look upon Tibus Heth, they will see a man washed in blood. Blood of the enemies of God. Blood of the Gallente. And perhaps they smile, and bow, and unlock the Gate.

O that Tibus Heth had brought on the war this wretched cluster so desperately needs! The war that brings clarity and purpose! Total war! The doomsdaying of planets! Perhaps even the End of Days taught in the Scriptures, when the Avenging Angels themselves shall take the field and the dirt of the earth shall embrace our decadence! Amarrians are to be patient, but I pray for these times to come every day.

So if Tibus Heth does look down upon us from the shiny golden towers of Paradise (whatever place be there for the righteous non-Amarr), thus let us honor his memory. Amen. Amarr Victor.

Should he have died, and should there be a divine gate admitting him, I feel the former Executor would be dismayed to be greeted by those other than his Ancestors. Better to have suffering with those one loves than hedonism with strangers. Whether loved or hated, the man taught us a great many things, and should be respected for it. I hope that he can find an easy rest.

And, I must agree with the Lady of Blades, above. Heth-haan, or any Caldari, could never rest easy in a paradise not made by his own hands and hard work.

I would rather burn for eternity than share heaven with Heth.

That lesser, non-Amarr bloodlines might ascend to heaven should hardly come as a surprise; many an Amarrian master has whipped his Minmatar slave expecting to see him again in heaven. And likewise, those former slaves of many generations now returned to the Republic may yet taste of heaven would they keep the faith, as some do.

To expect that someone not of the religion would reach heaven is a speculative interpretation, it is true, which is why my original post included qualifiers such as if and perhaps. But know that the Amarr religion is neither one of mere intellectual assent to some propositions of faith nor one of empty ritual; it values doers, paladins, warriors; as the Prophet Anoyia said, we are to toil all our days in glorious service. And Tibus Heth was a doer, a righteous doer.

Truly an odd perspective to praise someone thus for abject failure.

The failure thing can often be mitigated by a glorious heroic death, say, piloting that ugly Titan into Gallente Prime himself.

But vanishing into space without so much as a farewell suicide speech?

Surely the gates of your paradise are made of sterner things.

Hungry for souls, are we?

Leave the Caldari to deal with Caldari problems, please. That includes problems of religion.

Ixiris,

heresy, as the late Lord Karris' mother would say, comes in many shades. Crimson and dark and rarely accurately reflected. And you are certainly the last to understand, Ixiris. It grieves me to see your vulgar face almost everywhere.


I wish you all the best, Ms Kim. May your passion and bravery not be in vain.

May His curse be on all His enemies from now until forever.

Kind regards,

Thank you! I can clearly understand now why His Majesty takes pride on his personal Gallentean popstar!

If you share my passion for duelling, please drop me a message. I am sure this is going to be entertaining as well.

If Heth is indeed still alive Ms. Kim, you don't want what's left of him.

I have passed along your interest and the fuzzy bunny missionaries will be at your house shortly.
