The Lost Priest of Mefald

"He who seeks the everlasting shall seek it evermore"

The Myth
"For in every action, a consequence must arise and so I direct thee young priests of the Cog and Skull, I direct thee to take upon the lesson learnt by he who can no longer remember. Ponder the mistakes made by a man who sought it all and who, through his actions, lost everything he had.

''For the Lost Priest was once amongst our brightest and yet the candles that burn away the gloom will attract the darkness hiding deep. For he was a being more wire than flesh, a mind that followed the Path of the Machine long fore his body and whose work brought great honour upon him and his peers. But this work fed a hunger that could never be sated and lo, he searched more and more, into the darkest depths of forgotten lore until he found himself upon a barren world with machines of arcane yore. ''

''And with this machine he reached up high, his madness knew no bounds. He declared himself against the True Machine and from this treachery we fell. Such heresy thwarted us and he slew many of our number until finally Omnissiah spoke true and that which he had taken turned against him too. ''

''And so our fallen brother fell, to the darkest place he now resides and his demise serves as a warning to all. Do not wander so readily into the forests that surround. For those that leave the sacred path are often dead and drowned."''
