I have glimpsed the future. There is nothing beyond this life, not in this world, not in the next. We are at the end of history, when our lives are over, our children will not live long enough to write our stories. I see the future coming, an explosion, a blinding light, a cloud of death, a sickness, a dying, a cold blackness as the light of humanity goes out. And then nothing for eons, as the stars die and the universe comes to its inescapable end. There is no future, we are reaching the final chapters. My only prayer is that I do not live to see the Epilogue. ##Support the Melancholy Empress

 Sylvester Mars, Pentarch of Rome "What? What is this blasted tomfoolery? The dead coming back to life, can't be having that! And the rest of you, going along with it all instead of throwing out these derelicts like any reasonable sorts! Shame shame I say! Half of you didn't have the political acumen god gave a teacup and the rest had all the people skills of a half-baked jack terrier! And that goes for you living sorts as well! Is anyone even listening to these people? Let's have a run-down of the stunning acts of political and philosophical genius on offer:"  "Life is sometimes sad, a BLOO BLOO BLAH BLOO.'  "I got to live in a palace, for some reason, this is supposed to be tragic."  "Oh no, being born with unlimited power instead of earning it in any real way means that being a no-good layabout might make me feel bad? My life is haaaaaaard!"  "Jesus tells me to kill people, I am a totally reasonable person."  "I like to watch farmers instead of doing anything to help them, or doing any actual ruling."  "I'm not making a point, I'm just prattling on about what went on when I was alive without saying anything at all, vote for me!" "And so forth! bunch of no-good ingrates, coming back to tell us that they know what's best. You may ask "But what about all the others?" and I am sad to say that you have missed the point. They're all spouting ridiculous claptrap about how they know what's best, because, for some reason, being completely out of touch with the times and reality is supposed to, you know, replace actually being a decent ruler. I say we give them what they deserve!" ##Give them three pence for the trolley and put them on their way. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!

A hooded figure appears Only I have foreseen all the ups and downs of Rome, from Romulus on the Palatine Hill to Evgenia in her Eternal City. Empresses, Generals, Assassins, Princes, all are mere players, puppets for a show, threads within a tapestry. Only I wield true power here. With but a pen, Saints and Tsars perform for your entertainment. They are figurines to inspire and castigate, tools for a greater power. And you eat it up, thinking your participation matters. It is all for naught. It all ends here - sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. #Support The Seer

Beneath the veneer of civility of our nation and our people lies a dark id. The urge to conquer, to control, to manipulate the affairs of the world. The constant assassinations of Sultans, the cyclical wars for Rome, the greed to expand and kill and let our allies die for us. We cannot deny this aspect of Byzantium. We must accept it. We must understand it. We must control it before it controls us. ##Support the Black Emperor

 When the living have gone astray, the Dead shall dance upon the Walls of Theodosius. I spent a lifetime rebuilding them, improving them, and what do I see but the Pearl of the Bosphorus fall to the Chinese. I hide the Revolutionaries of the past in my Armories, and let their Messages wander the streets of Constantinople like the seeds of a Dandelion, yet in the end they turn into mere Emperors themselves. My son translated the first issue of Ryuzoji's 'Allegory of Amaterasu' only for his hope and dream to be pulled through the dirt by radicals and malcontents. Back in my time, to be Byzantine meant something glorious. Junonian, Julian, none of that mattered when we were all enemies of the Commonwealth. Today, being Byzantine means being a hypocrite, moldable by the winds of politics. When Contentment and Conservatism marches forward the Radicals and Rebels do the same. Being Byzantine means not to be the leader the People want, but to be the leader the People deserve. In the end, before Death, before the State, before Emperors and Presidents and even God himself, we are all but Human. And there are no worse liars than us. - Savaş Uzun, Strategos under Tsarina Yustina Yaroslavovna ##Support the New Byzantine

##Support the New Byzantine We shall be led by a succession of warrior Empresses, incarnations of God's holy wrath who lead us to repeated victory until the day comes when they are too old to fight. Then we shall offer her blood to the Pantocrator and a new Empress shall be chosen, a new vessel for the holy cleansing fire of the Spirit.

What is Byzantium? It is not you, it is not me, it is not even the emperor. Byzantium is the army, Byzantium is what it is in the history books and the news papers, Byzantium is a force of history. It will become all of history. Anything outside of this history will no longer have a history. ##Support the Enlightened Princeps

Sylvester Mars, Pentarch of Rome Well, I, for one, am in favor of giving this group of wastrels, layabouts, nobodies, hasbeens and wannabes the door. Frankly you're all an embarrassment, taking lip from people dumb enough to be dead.

Sylvester Mars, Pentarch of Rome First of all, theologically speaking, there's no distinction between living and dead, especially as far as saints are concerned. We're being mobbed by a bunch of no-good retirees. Second of all, no one comes back before Jesus. No cutters!
