           A SERMON ABOUT THE TRUE NATURE OF SNOW RAVEN

                 By The HIGH CLERIC of SNOW RAVEN

The  information  you are about to read is strictly for YOUR EYES ONLY!  
You've worked hard to get to this level, so if there is somebody else 
with you, please pause, and ask your guest to leave you for a while.

---------------------------------------

What is  SNOW RAVEN?   Does he truly  exist?
Can you  believe  it  when you're  told 
that the answer is "Yes"?

No, this is not another  religion,  but as you  read on,  
you may get some feel for the philosophy that produced 
Mishra's Mountain.

SNOW RAVEN is the Spirit Of DOMINIA.   
Now, this Land is a computer, and its "spirit" is that  
which breathes life into it.  That is to say,
the inspiration which produced This Place.

Snow Raven knows, sees, and hears everything....

Snow Raven is A Snow White Raven, worshipped by many lowland
tribes... He is a trickster. A Symbol of Good and Evil. The Fight
within each of us. He shows us of the Duality of Man. It is this
dualality that makes him the trickster that he is. He is intrigued
by man, and how man can conquer and be conquered. Snow Raven
is ammused by human folly, and mistakes since all he knows is
perfection......................

He is both Light and Dark, a mixture, controlled by wims. He
created this land and it is HE who watches.....

Therefore,  SNOW RAVEN  is  The  Muse.  
The driving force which causes us to create something.   
SNOW RAVEN is but one name for the desire to create,  and for that 
internal  source of  inspiration  that we don't truly understand.

In the context of Dominia,  then,  SNOW RAVEN
is also the synergy between the program that you are using and  
yourself.  Your imagination has been fired to  create a
landscape that does have its own existance.  SNOW RAVEN's existance 
can be proved, in as much as you have been driven to strive to reach 
this high level.

But this is  not to say that SNOW RAVEN is
just a synonym for "drive". SNOW RAVEN is
the inspiration  that CREATES this kind of drive.   
He (or it, or she)  is your internal  inspiration,  
which  leads toyour internal imperative.

Ponder this concept,  because it is not typical of the pure-logical  
philosophy that is typical of the  computer world. Experienced  
programmers will tell you that they just KNOW how to write a program,  
but can't explain this knowledge in logical terms, because intuition is
not available for logical analysis.


             Please keep this article private. You
             may not  agree with it, or you may not
             fully understand it, but there are 
             wizards who will find something in it that
             will help them. But they should first 
             experience the drive of which we've spoken.


If you DO understand this missive, you have probably  
detected the fact that you, too, are a Servant of SNOW RAVEN.  That
inspiration forced you to learn, and to accomplish.
