Secret of Darkness

The secret of darkness is un-utterable. If one was to try to explain it, he or she would seem insane. All those who discover the secret of darkness quickly realize that explaining it is a fools errand. Fortune itself hunts down those who try to spread it, like some strange cosmic law. Once discovered, it must either be kept to oneself or forgotten completely. This is why it does not exist in written form.

All humans with even a spot of good within them are predisposed to never accept the secret, so when it is described as unbelievable, it is because it is literally difficult to believe. To dare to believe it, is to dare to be insane. But it isn't insanity. It is all around us, all the time, but refusing to see it is so fundamental to being human that discovering it is like unravelling the first lie you ever told yourself. It is the reason the world is set on fire, it is the reason that the weak will always suffer, and it will never, ever become a lie. Darklords are keepers of this secret.

To keep the secret alive in yourself, you must be evil, or you will die a slow death from within.
