No, I am not a religious person (Spiritual yes, -not- religious!)
However... After reading the EVE Novels and many of the Chronicles I just can't deny that the Amarrian Scriptures are indeed highly fascinating! While I was always like "Pff... damn Amarrians... Keep them away from me!", I've come to notice that I keep reading all the stuff about their Scriptures and how the Amarr interprete them on various occassions to make things seem as if they occured exacly as the Scriptures foretold them.
Now I am aware that there are not only multiple versions of the Scriptures within the Amarr Empire, but that the whole of the collection is too big to put it all together into one Book...
However, maybe you CCP Savants can put together a 600 - 1'000 Page Book that is The Scriptures. Lore wise you could always explain it's existance as if Sarum I or the Theology Council released a "core" version that counts for all Amarrians as the standard of the Scriptures.
You could release that in printed form in a pretty golden Hard Cover version. It sure would be one of my fave Books in my private Library...
I just wish this Book to be in my collection!
What does the Community think about this?
And no... I really am not an Amarr in disguise!
This sounds like a wonderfully novel idea. Unfortunately the whole of the epic is, as you say, far to large to compile into one 600 - 1000 page book. I would also like to add that the scriptures are reserved for God's chosen few, which is why there are not that many chronicles disseminated into the public forum. (Even among the Amarr, very few people have access to the entire epic) This fact, I believe, is a subtle way to gather converts. "Sell a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and you're out of business."
A book like is not a bad idea, and I would even find it amusing to contribute to it's creation (though being an Amarr scholar, picking it apart and interpritting it sounds far more enjoyable to me)
I hope you get your wish :) |
