#3138, "Herald Weekly - Issue 1 - An Interview with the Eye of the Scarab"


          

Since I wasn't able to post it in game, for your reading
pleasure.

This week I interview Kwoalewei Mathai the Eye of the Scarab
and one of the oldest living beings in Thera.

Herald    - So... I admittedly know little of your religion.
Kwoalewei - What do you wish to know?
Herald    - Can you tell me the basic premise, as you see it?
Kwoalewei - Religion is a...complicated thing.
Kwoalewei - The Truth lay there, before our eyes...
Kwoalewei - One must simply awaken to see it.
Kwoalewei - To do so is to realize that morality is
enslavement.
Kwoalewei - To do so is to realize...one can be beyond the
very definitions of such things that make others
weak.
Kwoalewei - To do so...is to overcome all boundaries. To rise
above the commoners...
Kwoalewei - To destroy that part of one's Self, that part of
this world, that would cloud us in impurities.
Kwoalewei - To rise to one's potential...at any cost, yes.
Herald    - And are you inclined to spread this belief to
others, or is it merely on a whim to do so? In other words, 
without morality, do you still care that others find the
Truth?
Kwoalewei - I am a simple messenger of the Truth, magus.
Kwoalewei - It is not on a whim...
Kwoalewei - Rather, to be here to guide those whom awaken,
perhaps. To show them to way.
Herald    - So, we talked some about the cult, what of
yourself?
Kwoalewei - What do you wish to know of me?
Herald    - Tell me about how you came to be what you are now?
Kwoalewei - I was born...with a gift.
Herald    - What kind of gift?
Kwoalewei - A gift for necromancy.
Herald    - Really? All of the rumours I've heard have
indicated a rather different vocation.
Kwoalewei - I rose quickly...too quickly.
Herald    - How so?
Kwoalewei - I attempted to become a Lich before I was truly
prepared...it nearly killed me.
Herald    - I see.
Kwoalewei - The only way to survive was to...destroy my own
mind.
Kwoalewei - Thus in a way, I was born anew. Even those
memories were destroyed...mostly.
Herald    - But then, how are we here speaking today?
Kwoalewei - The power of magic, yes.
Kwoalewei - That one can create oneself...to manifest the
essence of the Will.
Herald    - Interesting indeed!'
Kwoalewei - I was...different.
Kwoalewei - More as you see me now...a master of a new art.
The art of mind and body.
Kwoalewei - And so I have proceeded...
Kwoalewei - I am ancient, magus.
Kwoalewei - My story is long and rich.
Herald    - Did you find the cult or did the cult find you?
Kwoalewei - Suffice it to say, my mind was a clean slate...
Kwoalewei - And thus I crafted myself to be as strong as I
could become...
Kwoalewei - My old self...had left notes. Guidance, as it
were...
Kwoalewei - I find the way. For I am a creature of logic,
first and foremost...
Herald    - So it is as if you are your own parent?
Kwoalewei - I am my own creator...my own destroyer, yes.
Kwoalewei - If you wish to see it that way.
Kwoalewei - I encountered Quarisa in my early years.
Kwoalewei - Neither of us expected, though we did desire...to
raise the Temple again.
Kwoalewei - The rest, as you would say, is history.
Herald    - Can you tell me anything about being the Eye of
the Scarab? For example, what does it entail and how did you
 become such?
Kwoalewei - It entailed a great deal of studies...
Kwoalewei - Ritual purification...
Kwoalewei - Research...but ultimately it is a matter
of...vision.
Kwoalewei - One must learn to see clearly the Truth. To see
beyond all else that is impure.
Kwoalewei - To prove that, to be watchful...to see to it the
gaze of the Father is pervasive...and relentless.
Kwoalewei - Perhaps the Father believes I see clearly. I shall
not speak for Him.
Herald    - How is the relationship between him and his
followers formed? It appears to me to be different than a
normal 
religion.
Kwoalewei - One must first find their Self. To see that
clearly, in a way...it is to deny all else.
Kwoalewei - Even Him.
Kwoalewei - Only then may you return to Him and truly see.
Kwoalewei - He has shown The Way. The Sacraa you hold in your
Lyceum...it is that history.
Herald    - I see. Any final comments to our readers?
Kwoalewei - I have a few additional thoughts, yes...

At this point the Eye of the Scarab decided he would keep
those thoughts for the future, so look forward to more at some
later time! Please look forward to more issues of the Herald
Weekly with more interviews and other short stories as we can
get them!
