In Light’s Name


In the beginning all things were as one. ¶ God parted them and breathed life into his creation ¶ Divided the parts and gave each its place ¶ And unto each, bestowed purpose.—􏰔The Scriptures, Book I 􏰎1:4.


In every one of us a spark of divine purpose burns. The Lord bestowed purpose on each of us. Yesterday, at Mekhios, my Apocalypse drifted across space in Her Majesty’s presence. And when the Apocalypse’s shadow emerged on Her Majesty’s Avatar, the essence of being Amarr unfolded before me once again. I became one with my ancestors. I saw their raised swords and girded warrior helmets in the deserts of Athra. Their armaments were old, their dialects unfamiliar, yet I recognised their faces: blood of my blood, flesh of my flesh, soul of my soul. I saw them following the first Emperors of Amarr into battle. Riding under Amash-Akura, setting sails for Assimia, and bringing the Light to the Udorians.

When the Apocalypse’s shadow danced on Her Majesty’s Avatar, I recognised my ancestors piloting vessels in orbit of Pator. Filled with the spirit of the Reclaiming they brought the hope of salvation to yet another lost populace. Their uniforms bore the signs of Amarr. Their minds bore the signs of the Lord. Their hands were directed by Damius the Great, Emperor of House Khanid, harbinger of victory and salvation.

When the Apocalypse’s shadow settled on Her Majesty’s Avatar, I saw my ancestors escorting His Majesty’s ‘Beasts of Heaven’ to their new home. Operating their navy vessels, they followed a true and faithful son of Amarr into a new chapter of Amarr’s and Khanid’s history. And as loyal and God-fearing warriors they stood by His Majesty’s side ever since.

And when the Apocalypse’s shadow emerged on Her Majesty’s Avatar, I heard the words of the opening salvo of the Battle of Vak'Atioth.“Target Omega-One locked!”—“For the Emperor!”—“Fire!”. We are one. In victory, and defeat.

We are nothing but the shadows of our destiny. We are dwarfs perched on the shoulders of the giants that have been before us. Yet through the shadows of the past we became the sole hope for New Eden’s future. Only through us the hope of salvation for many is achieved. The light of destiny is shining upon us now.

When I opened fire on the intruder’s vessel by Her Majesty’s command my soul was healed. My shadow merged with the shadows of my ancestors. Their destiny has always been mine, yet through Her Majesty’s command it also finally reclaimed me. Form and purpose became one. The Empress delivered a message of Divine Hope for all of New Eden. The Empress showed us a path to fulfil our destiny.

Those who are enlightened shall ascend. Those who step into the light shall be redeemed, the sins of their past cleansed, so that they may know salvation. Those who oppose the will of God, those who burn the olive branch extended to them by the Lord, those who do not seek enlightenment, shall be condemned. They shall be punished, and shall drown in their own blood.

Now there are those who have chosen to follow false prophets. Know that your deeds will cast no shadow; know that your thoughts are not reflected in the mirror of the Lord; know that your path will only lead to bitterness and damnation; know that only through repentance you may be reclaimed! Pledge your allegiance to the Light and turn away from the darkness that clouds your hearts and minds! Return to the Lord now, so that it may not be too late for you! Know that the faithful will have no compassion for the unrepentant. The obdurate and the wicked will be slaughtered with no mercy. The beasts will drown in their own blood. Know that begging and screaming for pity will be overheard, and there will be neither redemption nor deliverance for you.

All Hail to Her Majesty! All Hail to His Majesty Khanid II, Holder of Khanid and Lord of the Marches! And all Glory to God!

In unity and in devotion we will be victorious!

I too have felt a re-kindling of purpose within. This last week, flying in the presence of Empress and Empire, re-connecting with friends and peers in HRM's Navy...it has healed me in parts of my soul that I did not know were injured.

It is not ours to know what the future will bring. But it is our responsibility to provide a galaxy to our children that is better. We must make a galaxy of honor, of courage and of faith.

An old Khanid family, the Arcani, are fond of saying, "Walk in dark places. Learn from shadows. Bring the light."

So let it be written, so let it be done.

"Angels live, they never die, Apart from us, behind the sky. They're fading souls who've turned to ice, So ashen white in paradise."

Let us all pray for Jamyl I, the Empress. That the Lord may preserve her, give her a long life, make her blessed within all of Creation, and may the Lord help her to vanquish all her enemies. That His hand be upon His Holy servant and upon His daughter who He has anointed. Let us pray to the Almighty God , Ruler of all the heavens and all the worlds, to look down, in His glory, upon His servant, Jamyl I, who He has appointed to preside over the Holy Amarr Empire. We beseech Him to grant, that both by word and example, she may edify all those under her charge; so that, with the flock entrusted to her, she may arrive at length unto life everlasting with Him in Paradise.
By His Light, By His Will.

May she continue to serve as hope and inspiration for all of us.
