Darkness is cowardice; it veils the ones who fear the cycle of life and wish to dwell in their selfishness. That is what I know.

And poor spelling. Which would make sense, seeing as it would be too dark to type. [ 10-06-2002: Message edited by: Bloodcookie ]

Everyone wondered WTF when Taeldian wrote:
Darkness is Power. The power to move unseen, unknown, to be able to strike your enemies when they don't expect it. You call this cowardice. I call it power. Terms like "honor" and "cowardice" are what make you unable to survive.
Do you believe life is only about power? If so, then I pity you.

What a blatant lie.
Shadows are created by a lack of light. Without light, the world would be shadows. If the world were all light, there would be no shadows.

Taeldian's account was hax0red to write:
Life is not about power.War is.
War is a part of life - to others, it is life. To say power does not define life, but to claim it does so for war only contradicts itself.
War is about finding your true values and loyalties; it's about ending conflict. Power may be a factor, yes, but it's not the defining quality of war.
What matters is control over oneself. That, and control of enough of one's environment to preserve the former.
Both power, and I suppose, sentiment, are elements of this whole.

Adrecia Tru'Ril had this to say about Cuba:
Without light, life with diminish. Nature needs its sunlight in order to nurture itself, along with food and water. If plantlife dies, then where does our food come from? Perhaps the animals that wander our world, but they depend on plants and other animals, too.Darkness is cowardice; it veils the ones who fear the cycle of life and wish to dwell in their selfishness. That is what I know.
Ahh, my dear Adrecia. You really cannot say that. For darkness has its part in the cycle of life as well.. The cycle of life partially takes part within the dark soil of the earth as the dead and dying plants of yesterday begin to decompose into nutrients for the new plants of tomorrow. There is balance in all things. All is needed to help renew the life that grows with the help of natural sunlight.
Going by that.. there are many helpful mosses and other such plants that grow better in the darkness. They benefit those who wish to either eat them to nourish themselves.. or use them as a means of medicine to help heal the wounded and sick.
One cannot say light is better than dark.. or vice versa.

And yet, these two forces are but different sides of the same coin. Each man or woman has light and dark in them, whichever they choose to focus on is up to them, but in the end that choice affects them most of all. There is life in both darkness and light, night providing rest for most and activity for others, light shining down grants energy and nourishment for most creatures. There exist creatures at the highest reaches, and at the furthest depths of the abyss. They cannot exist without each other, for should one side win out, eventually they would desire to fight among themselves, until none are left. Therefore, a balance is needed, order and chaos in tandem, for order and change is necessary for all beings to move ahead, and stay together. [ 10-06-2002: Message edited by: Azrael Heavenblade ]

So by your definition, war is a good thing.
I'm sorry, but the definining quality of war is killing. Power is everything in a war. To say that it isn't is foolish.
Power is not everything in life. It is everything in war. To say that it is everything in life simply because it is a part of life is foolish. With someone for whom war is life, power is everything. Just because a soldier in a battle feels that his power, being his skills in this case, on the battlefield mean everything, that is, life or death, does not mean power is everything to him. His wife and kids may still be on the top of that list, but on the battlefield, he has to set those aside to survive.

This insanity brought to you by Taeldian:
What a blatant lie.Shadows are created by a lack of light.
So, if there was no light to begin with, it wouldn't be a shadow now would it? There has to be a lack of something to create it and a shadow must cast upon something illuminated to be called a shadow.
Thus a world without light couldn't be all shadows. It would simply be darkness.
How is this...

Shadows are darkness. They are synonomous. They are merely used in different context.
A world without light could be called a world covered in shadow, and that would be absolutely correct.
Who has the biggest flamethrower.
The war is over who claims the power of Evercrest. Taran and Drysart are both two sides of the same coin.. very different yet there is a connecting tie and factor. Perhaps the balance got disrupted within their lives, one can only speculate what the factor was that tipped the scale. This, of course, is hindsight. Do not ever mistake darkness for something vile and evil. There is corruption within those who work for the light as well. Power corrupts.. I am sure you've all heard this.. and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

But a shadow is:

The rough image cast by an object blocking rays of illumination.
So, you still couldn't have a shadow without light. It would become darkness.
Unless your world covered in shadow is actually in the shadow of something. Where light would be creating that shadow.
