You want to know who I am, do you not? Who is this man who talks about some fanciful realm that you have never seen? And if you have not seen it, then it cannot be real, yes?
Your first warning: Self-delusion will not save you. Denying the existence of such things will not stop them from hurting you.
I have watched madness like that in humanity for millennia. I have seen what humans do with their narrow perceptions. Never realizing how limited their senses are. Going proudly to their graves, having decided the world is entirely as they believe it.
I thought of eradicating you. Off and on, through the centuries. Sometimes I even indulged this whim. But I always recall what is to come. And I think, why expend my energy? You will not survive the One Realm Coming as you are.
Can you imagine how freeing a sensation that is?
A Portrait of Lord Glanbrin by Kumensia
Observe this portrait of me, if you wish some ephemeral grasp of my veracity. It was recently commissioned by a young artist who calls herself Kumensia. You may view a similar gallery of hers here.
A final word to you who read. There are other pieces to this puzzle. Hints throughout history. Events whose true meaning humanity buried under its own false perceptions. Perhaps as you read my words here, you will learn to recognize the true power of perception over reality. There is great power in this knowledge.
Enough, perhaps, to save you.
