MARMORA INSTITUTE
"The fate of destruction is the joy of rebirth."
Time has often been compared to the shifting of sands, the blow of the wind, or the eroding strength of the river; such comparisons are not wholly unfounded. Time has changed the world, it has eroded the world, and it has shifted the sands of not only Kyrusia and its people, but humanity as a whole. There once was a time when warfare was fought with sticks and stones, and the greatest threat one needed to fear was the theft on one's crops; though such an act was, no doubt, devastating for primordial man, we now see a world where the paradigm has shifted, and time has run away with itself.
Today, we live in a world where warfare is not fought over resources or land, nor over people or their ideologies, but for the sake of such a thing. We live in a world where warfare is merely the means to an end, not an end to strife – whether cultural or political – but a tool to be utilized as a means to exert one's authority and power over another. Today, the world is ravaged by total warfare and the threat of total, inexorable annihilation lurks around every corner and rests upon every beachhead. A world where genocide, mass murder, and complete extermination of one's life, livelihood, identity, nation, people, culture, and land is not simply a threat for strong-arm diplomacy, but a promise exerted by the most powerful and dystopic of regimes.
Such is the flow of time, and the direction the winds have taken us. There is no changing this. We live in a world where commodities that go toward the manufacturing of miniature stars, the tools to subjugate an entire people, and the heavy-handed will of a single man is all that is needed to declare others “unworthy” are in great, egregious abundance. This was the natural evolution of things; the natural flow of the great torrent of aggression and the lust for power that courses through the veins of all men. It is inescapable; it is the great causality of things.
To say that I, a single man, wishes to change such as the world has become would be a great misunderstanding and, in short, one of the greatest of follies I could ever witness. When I began this drive, this purpose, this institute, it was not my dream to remove such aspects of human nature from it; humanity is a great marvel of evolution, it is the apex of creation, but it is lacking. It has become apparent that, given time, the very drives and motivations which has impelled humanity to become the power, the unilateral hegemony of the world, would, inevitably, lead to its own destruction.
Such was the Reckoning.
The Reckoning, the attempted genocide of the Kyrusian nation and the Kyurs Host, has shown us that such an end is inevitable. The choices we made, the decisions to take or spare lives, the policies that were enacted, in the end, served merely as moves in a game – a game that spelled our demise. In all events, no one can truly state what spared us from such an inescapable outcome, but we were. In the light of a nuclear blaze, we raised ourselves from the earth below and have forced ourselves to go on. Yet, even so, we cower within our barrier cities and arm our barricades, fearing every creak and shudder from the world within our own borders. We shudder at words such as “contamination” and “fallout”; we shun those who were less fortunate than ourselves. “Why?” I ask. To what purpose does this serve? To what end?
The end, in truth, will be the same: the total annihilation of our people, our culture, and our very way of life.
As such, the Marmora Institute was founded to insure such an end was avoided, not by dictating the actions of other nations or peoples or lands, but by hoping to bring about a change – whether cultural, technological, or political – to our own heartland, to our own people. The Marmora Institute was founded from the ashes of a wasteland with the dream of making ourselves anew.
We have faced our own destruction; now this is our rebirth...
