By the way - I wanted to elaborate on the bit of intro text I used. This was a quote from Anaximander. (the philosopher, whom I incidentally named my protagonist after)
Whence things have their origin,
Thence also their destruction happens,
According to necessity;
For they give to each other justice and recompense
For their injustice
In conformity with the ordinance of Time.
This can be applied many ways. I think Anaximander intended it to mean, "All things are driven by mutual checks and balances." You could also interpret it as something more specific; like, "By necessity, all things that begin must end. By the very nature of their existence, life and death grant balance and restitution to one another."
It's kind of a fitting sentiment, because of the nature of the game's protagonist. Spoiler: The Abyss wants nothing more than to compress all life back into its origin, which would draw all currently-living things into destruction.

  A strange man walks up to me in the saloon, when I'm working, and asks me to marry him; and I say, "I cannot marry thee, for I have a love who sails the deep, salt seas; and though he's been gone these seven years, no man shall marry me; for what if he has died, or in some battle slain; or drowned in the deep salt sea; or found another love; and he and his new love both married be? If that is so, I wish them both health and happiness that burns across the sea." He looks at me and kisses me and says, "Weep no more, my own true love, for I am your long-lost love." |
