The Prophet is visited in the middle of the night, long ago. 

This visitor is quite odd, quite harsh, and in fact has already graced us in the first episode of the podcast. The visitor comes to people at their lowest, seeking to grant them something that might be appealing under those conditions: bloodlust. But this bloodlust it gives never ends, even when there is not another drop of blood left to be shed. How do you turn away this beast at your lowest point? What things can give you hope? There are many things. Here is one.

There's a lot of contemporary talk among the young of the "blackpill," the embrace of absolute, bloody nihilism in the face of the colossal problems of the present. This viewpoint, is, of course, spread by the first great antagonist foundational ideology. Victims of it are hopeless. Most will simply wallow in hopelessness and apathy, but a few will turn to bloodshed. As time passes and The One Who Isn't is left unopposed, the number of these people will grow larger and larger, until they perhaps take over the bulk of society. Best to avoid that. 

The Pantheon is written and produced by Joshua White. Music by Erokia, distorted to fit.
