The
Visionaries These
are their stories... Who Succeeded by being Perfect, Who turned stag from its Race, and
found Consolation, Who says Laws stem from Chaos, and
seeks to Predict Who faces Life by being Dead, Who has come to Terms with Who she
Is Who believes that the Dreams of the
Dead affect the Land of the Living, Who stands at the Edge, not the
Centre, Who goes Left by going Right, Who punishes Beliefs, not
Actions Who helps the Dead to die
Properly, Who has Opened her Mind to the
Multiverse Who wants to Learn the Rules, Who forces Creatures to Conform to
their Natural Stereotypes Led by a visionary who sees the peril
that the yugoloths present, Who fights the Powers with their own
Weapons; If
none of 'em do that, you're either a terminal clueless,
or a true visionary. Go find your own belief, whatever it
may be!

You
might have seen those "painting by numbers" teachers,
who'll show a budding artist how to do hue, tone and
shadow by numbering colours and writing the right number
in the right place. Well, that works for philosophy too.
This is a set of factioneers' musings on their own
beliefs, which you can use as these numbers. When you
read something that causes a stirring deep down inside --
a revelation of your own personal truth, perhaps -- then
you've more than likely discovered the faction for
you.
