Mango's KINGDOMS Beginning

Before you is the present evolution of current Luminocratic philosophical, theological, and mathematical debate. The topic is the beginnings of the world.

Basic assumptions.

• A land or air creature, without air, will die.
• A water creature, without water, will die.
• When an airborne creature flies upwards, it will find it harder to breathe.
• God is real, and proven presently malevolent.
• There are additional gods. It is not proven that they are separate from the God.
• Adam is a Man who lives beyond the average lifespan of other Men.
• Adam makes various claims about time before the Godkings, only some of which can be verified.
• When traveling, you may see only several miles forward or backward.

[Editor's notes: Guys, I know this is scary, and you're literally just guessing, but please at least write something down and explain your leaps in logic. We have to publish this soon, and if I don't get it out, my boss at the Athenaeum will have my wings. Why do we need to add information about travel when nobody wrote about this?]

Theological thoughts.

The many gods are of a multitude of unknown beings called into existence by humanity's willingness to believe in them despite the risk and lack of proof. They have built the world out of their aspects. The one God is most prevalent due to the nature of Dark existing in the highest prevalence, shrouding other aspects from view.

The many gods are a misnomer. They are not gods in the typical sense that the one God is, but rather beings born or found or existing alongside the time of Adam. Adam claims this [citation needed]. It is reasonable to assume that they are not identical, but share similar ageless properties, and hold dominion over their respective elements and themes as Adam seems to do for Man. As such, we should refer to them as foci, for their "focus," or perhaps numen/numina for their nature as a "new" type of Man.

The one God has created us for playthings. There is nothing we can do. It is best to lay down and accept this fact. He has complete control over all things he wishes, and only handicaps himself because he finds it humorous or challenging. Editor's note: Please contact the writer of this entry. After the codification of the Dubbylos Dictate under Godking Ekaveer, all texts that describe the Heresy of the Stranger must be requested by a Highblood with standing 4 or higher with the Luminarch due to the existential stress it may place upon the uninformed or unprepared.

Philosophical thoughts.

When Dark exists, it travels faster than light. That is, Dark existed before light, so if God is the source of both, the Dark first enveloped us before we staved it off. When something is given light, it is seen, but when the Dark is around it, it may warp, disappear, or act without accord to the natural laws of light. We may say that from Dark came light, a fatal flaw in that it creates its own constrictor that has continued to grow without a built-in limit. This is why Dark is naturally hostile to light, but light only seeks to stave off dark from whatever it touches.

Beneath the water is Darkness. Light struggles to survive or penetrate it, and even sources of light that may withstand water are dimmed while enveloped at great enough depths [citation needed]. Therefore, we can assert that the Darkness of the land is weaker or lesser than the Darkness of the sea. Following, we may consider that the Darkness of the land is like unto that of a child to the Darkness of the sea; being weaker, younger, and of the same purpose. If we follow this to be true, it would make sense that all life has spawned from the deep waters, and we should continue to investigate it to divine greater conclusions.

Mathematical thoughts.

Our axioms of reality dissolve when approached with Darkness. Thus we can assume these axioms are not full, and that Darkness is a substance or creature that defies them. If capture of Dark can be continued, like that of the new "hoarses" of Apotheosis, or war-beast of the Grasslands, we may be able to dissect creatures made of the Dark to understand how they work. A fallen hoarse was collected during the tyrant Apotheosis' crusade against the Seliron Ring's unifier, granting mild insight; the creatures seem to be partially made of matter that is equally malleable and opposite to us. When a prisoner opted to undergo experimentation rather than capital punishment, his body was incapable of deconstructing the portion of flesh given to him, causing fatal side effects months later. From this, I propose that our existence is entirely opposite that of the Dark, coming from two separate origins and constructions.

It has been said by many great logicians of our time that Dark is [Editor's note: Who let this guy in? He didn't even finish his portion. Report scouter to Commander Thry for possible failure to background check.]
