The Fifth Commandment of Hashut

"And as I have laid out the Order of your race, so too shall I lay out the Order of your lives and thus I decree my Fifth Commandment to be ‘Know Thy Place in My Plan and Accept it.’  For you are my possessions to do with as I will.

I have seen far beyond your ken, and thus have devised a plan to the Glory of Me and thee.

You each have a part to play in my plan, you are each a cog in a Divine machine and like any machine, a cog broken or out of alignment will be the ruin of the whole.

And as already commanded, you are to work always towards the Glory of the Dawi Zharr people and thus must play the part I have chosen for you.

For I am your Father, and in all things you must obey my Will, and as it has been written, my Fifth Commandment is ‘Know Thy Place in My Plan and Accept it.’"

Written with accuracy, like the rest. You’ve got into the Dawi Zharr mindset like a hand into a glove. Ever fancied a corkscrew beard? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Lol, would need to grow it for a few decades before I could try that :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
