"In this poem is a mask
Hiding the fear of many a past
For only those in the oblivion plane
Can hear in here and remain of sane
In the futures of all time,
In the sorrows of worlds once sublime
Are the cruel words of a cruel task
For you to listen mouths aghast
In here, fiery dragons plunge the air
Tasting mouthfuls of legs and hair
Sweeping deceits from their farm
Eating souls of tainted mortal yarn
In here, deadly daedra fly and sear
Inflicting many sums of fear
Finding adultery in its stall
Turnings sinful to crawling maw
In here, the name of death is very near
And heavy souls - paralyzed to hear
The sounds of flames rushing in
Burning minds and aching sin
In here, is a world filled with blame
Where not one is pure and all is aflame
In here, is the place where all,
See their death and perilous fall
All those ill-fated souls have come to burn
All will see their worst horrors churn
In here, is where the sinful die
Where is here?
Why, here is the devil's eye." --- Premonitions of truth, told by a Dark-Prince. Found on a scroll in the

Preface; Author's Introduction
Evil is illogical. That is both true and untrue. It is sure that evil derives from illogic, the illogic of being unable to comprehend other people's thoughts - the illogic of being unable to feel neither empathy nor sympathy when others endure pain - but being illogical, and following a pattern discernable by logic, already indicates that evil is indeed logical. If all could see what others saw when they were harmed, then pain would never be dealt. But sadly, this is not true. Errors are made in logic, which can be predicted within every social network. Since it can be predicted, then it is logical, once one comes to terms with its function. It has roots; it spreads. And when it has a certain pattern (derived from illogic but functions in a logical manner that can be predicted), as does evil when it sprouts, then by definition - evil is also logical. Evil, in essence, is a parasite, a cheat without the sanctity of morals to guide it. It functions by living off the great things of the world, taking advantage of all that is right. In a purely sociological aspect, there is order, and then there is disorder. The disorder derives from the evil within each being. It stems from the desire to change for the better; sometimes that desire overwhelms whatever sense the individual has for the greater good, and there, evil is created.
We now know what is evil. We should also know that all organisms, whether they are on the top or the bottom of the evolutionary scale, are always attempting to better their existence (by pleasure or in the amoeba's case, survival), we should also know the case of genetics. In Darwin's theory of social evolution, one who has the best traits, live longer to reproduce, therefore the children have the same traits and they live longer to reproduce. Anything that has negative traits, are less probable to reproduce, being either that they have disadvantages that cause them to die, or disadvantages that make them less of a candidate of reproduction. We now know that those traits, which are favorable in the environment they are in, exist longer than those traits that are not suitable to the environment they are in. For example, let us say that in a certain deserted island, there exists people who have five fingers, and there exists people with four. Those that have five fingers, being the more advantageous in genetic traits, will flourish, while those that exist with four will not. The people with five will continue to exist, and so will their traits, while the four will at some point die. Simple.
But can we ever extinguish evil? Referring to the first paragraph, if evil is an illogical logic (derived from illogic but functions in an logical way), then can everyone be logical all the time? Can everyone feel empathy for another to a point that no harm is ever inflicted? Never, of course. Pain will always be evident. It will always be present. It may subside but never disappear completely, for no one can completely understand another being's thoughts.
So what happens, if, there exists organisms that has traits that take advantage of all the functions of other organisms? Such as we humans take advantage of cattle, so, what happens if there exists traits of another organism that takes advantage of us? And what, by god, happens if this organism lives not by the same way we live, but by an entirely different way; made by different things. Existing solely to take advantage of us. What happens if its values are different, its existence is different, and what happens, if this organism's manner of obtaining pleasure (or by maximizing its existence) directly parallels by inflicting pain? What happens if this evil thing cannot be stopped, ever, and it continues to eat away like a parasite on a host? In fact, what I'm referring to is a parasite, and yes - on a host. The host is humanity, all life forms that seek good, that follows the moral yardstick. The parasite, does the exact opposite. It attacks and attacks the host. Sucking away its blood. Little doubt you know what I'm speaking of. It is vampirism, the great deadly organism that flows contrary to all other forms of logic.
And on an entirely different subject, as for the idea of other organisms (elves - dwarfs - succulent nymphs even, this is a fantasy book. my fantasy book, I may have added one or two just for my sake at some point) there are two theories that define the course of change in time pertaining to evolution. One is the gradual theory, which organisms change and adapt to their surroundings through eons of small genetic alterations. The second is a quick spasmodic change where organisms adapt to their surroundings within the mere timeframe of fewer generations, then stabilizing, then adapting once more when the environment changes again. Now, let us suppose that this second theory does exist, is true, and applies here. If that were the case, then what would happen if a world (like Tamriel; a place of elves, dwarfs, and luscious nymphs) went through quick changes so fast because of the constant polarization (gravity) of say. three moons (which will later be referred in the book as god-moons)? Such gravity would definitely alter the landscape on an incalculable scale compared to how our moon alters ours through creating oceanic tides. And suppose that in this world I'm venturing into, that even if the landscape changes incredibly fast, it still contains a habitable climate. And therefore the intelligent life there adapts quickly each time, and the faster the interval between adaptations the more they change on an overall scale, thus separating one pack of organisms with another permanently, and creating separate but intelligent races.
And as for magic? Think of it as a skill, derived from laws, which allow beings to feed on the gravity of the three god-moons, (You can see how this is going to develop, When all the god-moons appear on one night, all power the power of the world is concentrated on you. etc. The polarization of the god-moons creates a certain amount of charge in the land (Tamriel), thus creating what we can call - a planetary battery. hmm. got your planet-size energizer bunny? And depending upon the individual's ability to channel that energy (polarization; gravitational fluctuations), one can derive ranks of mages and sorcerers. That is the only way to describe it. Well, in my perspective anyway!
So here is the technical side of this book, for all those who read fantasy with wizards and magical fireballs and think - ack! And as for all those who are genuine fantasy readers, I have provided for you a text full of it.
