Season VIII: The Grail

MORTALS—this Friday, we return to Earth & begin SEASON VIII! Given the dire state of thy world, ‘tis clear to us, only one option remains to save ye—we must seek THE GRAIL. Luckily, we found a fellow (LUX) who holds it in his possession! Surely, this means the quest shall be a simple one-episode adventure, after which, Earth shall enter a new golden age. HUZZAH. Join us Friday 8PT for SEASON VIII: THE GRAIL!

NOW—some of ye, may bristle at this. “Can things be so dire,” I hear ye cry out, “that some wizards must use some mythical totem to warp the world?” O, I can sense thy objections, “A golden age imposed by outsiders, how can that be good?” I hear ye bemoan the imposition of a new order—”Ought we not fix the world ourselves? If we allow this, do we not trade one dominion for another? A dominion of peace & plenty, but a dominion without liberty?”

I understand, truly. Which is why, I compiled a thorough list of reasons why the Grail be thine only hope. I believe, if ye read along, ye shall understand the justifications—& e’en agree:

De Necessitate Gradalis
sive Ivstificatio Qvæsitæ

Being an extensive & thoughtful examination of the reasons for the Grail quest, & the need for its use to repair the mortal world & mortal-kind.

Presented in the classic, dialectical style of the Schoolmen (known also as “Scholastics”), as proof of the depth & rectitude of the argumentation.

Each proposal shall be presented, then refuted, then the refutation disputed, until a conclusion is reached. Please set aside at least 12 hours for the proper consideration & meditation required for a full reading.

Section the First:
On Whether the World Need Be Saved at All

PROPOSITION THE FIRST:
Dost thou jest, just look at this place

END OF BOOK

Thank ye for reading—& thank ye to the growing cadre of generous mortals who can & do support our works here with coin!

I hope ye shall join us Friday to witness SEASON VIII: THE GRAIL! I shall write ye again Saturday, after, I presume, the salvation of Earth shall be at hand. ‘Til then—be safe, be well, & remember, “grail” does not really mean “cup”…

Cheers,
