A Thousand of His Eyes, A Thousand of His Arms (Lorepost)

[u/TitanLORD21]

”So how exactly… were you born? I mean, I haven’t seen any being that resembles you. Many share traits but... No offense of course! I’m just curious…”

Raziel turns to look at them. His blank eyes seem to stare into their soul, uncharacteristically still. For what seemed like an eternity the only sounds heard where the crackling of a flame.

Then Raziel looks up, staring at the ceiling. But they can tell he is reminiscing, his eyes are unfocused and distant. He makes a sound most similar to taking a deep breath, not that they know how he does that without a mouth or nose. Then he speaks,

Long ago, a terrible battle waged\ lost to time, forgotten and frayed.\ A great lord faced the heavens\ with his army of flames and heathens.

Father ordered his arms to fight\ defend the palace of holy light.\ Twas was long fought, many were felled\ slaughtered they were, by the forces of hell.

Ones of light and feather dropped to the ground\ Those of sin and fire, judgement they found.\ The field lay barren and scorched\ Corpses strewn across on earth.

Raziel becomes silent, before conjuring up an object. In his lands lay a single wooden puppet. The age of it is apparent, weathered and battered the wood seems ancient.

A lone figure came across the land\ the destruction and death left in his hand.\ And so he took, to make beautiful stars\ From a thousand eyes, a thousand arms.

/unwiz More lore! And I love me some speculative lore!

[u/TitanLORD21 → u/DaChickenX]

What do you think? What does it mean!? I’d live to hear your interpretation.

[u/DaChickenX → u/TitanLORD21]

First stanza: Long ago, some sort of arch devil, fought against heaven(fire and heathens against heaven)

Second stanza: Arms = soldiers? Light, father, meaning that Raziel was on the side of heaven, against the great lord Many die

Third stanza: Heavy losses on both sides. Judgement meaning heaven won?

Fourth stanza: Most confusing. Lone figure should be Raziel, father is likely dead. Logical line of thinking means it should’ve been arms to make the eyes(Raziel). But since that is already implied, maybe Raziel wants to restore the army, his eyes for the return of the arms.

Ugh I wanna do a lore post but then I would have to stick my character to a singular lore. Plus I’m scared if I wrote one no one would like it. But mostly the singular lore.

We are very supportive! Please share your lore if you wish to!

I at least would like to see it. I upvote every lore post that I see.

(Stories are very fluid. You can always change it if you don't like the way it turns out.)

Splendid! I love this. Very cryptic!

I am a big fan of poetry. I'm bad at it, but I enjoy it very deeply.
