Starcraft: A Tal‘darim’s Purpose
I‘am Olaras, Protoss Warrior, one of the Firstborn by the hands of the Xel’Naga.
Former 6th Ascendant of the Tal‘darim. I was working my way up towards becoming the Highlord of the Tal‘darim all my Life. I destroyed everybody that dared to challenge me.
One Day suddenly the first Ascendant Alarak challenged the Highlord Ma‘lash, the Blade of Amon to a Rak‘shir and won. He won. The Goal that seemed unreachable before had it‘s bar set even higher. And that wasn‘t even the worst.
He told us Amon had betrayed us, that he only used us, nobody of us would ever ascent and become Hybrid.
The strong and unwavering Tal‘darim sect was shaken to it‘s deepest roots but it didn’t take us long to recover. Us the chosen ones by our God Amon? Betrayed? Nothing else mattered anymore. Only Revenge. And we would get it, nothing is able to ever stops us. Not even a God like Amon. We are the Forged.
Our wrath burns brighter then all the suns in this Galaxy.
Amon was defeated. But what we did not consider was that after that we lost pur purpose. There was no ascension to hybrids there was no god that we could serve.
Sure we could still work and ascent to the Highlord position.
Sure I could work towards that. But why? The Highlord might be the first position under Amon, but Amon is gone. I would have lead the Tal‘darim to do Amons bidding. But now, what should I tell them?
Highlord Alarak is strong, and I‘am not willing to risk my life to in the end gain nothing special even in death, there would only be the void.
Even battles against lower Ascendents might get dangerous.
Death shows no benefit to me anymore, and life within the Tal‘darim is presumably the most dangerous someone can live.
Should I take the opportunity Alarak has given us to leave the Tal‘darim behind if we want? This is a opportunity that is only given to us once...
