Then I am validated by my secret suspicions, for you speak of these three blessings as one who would use them for one's own selfish gain. You think you have the invitation, the key to their true meanings, and from the delightfully mad tirade you just made maybe you do, but while you have the invitation it is clear you have not the address.
Your rant stink of darkness and shadows and poisons in the moonlight, Callidus. Your rant stink of Treachery and Schemes. Your rant stink of Mephala and Tzeentch.
Madness, Mischief and Chaos, dear friend, is not the poison that one uses to promote oneself or demote one's enemies. It is not a cloak. It is not the corruption of others.
Madness, Mischief, and Chaos, dear friend, is not poison. It is fire. Fire that will burn everything, simply because it can. It is passion of the highest degree, until it berefts you of life and identity.
It is a flame that We Madmen burn ourselves with simply because it is hotter than the Sun. It is a dagger we repeatedly fall upon simply because of its delightful edge.
In part only, I agree with your view that it breaks all chains and opens a path only you could follow. Therein lies the greatest blessing and the most horrid curse. Through walking down this path, we exchange our mortal manacles for an Aetherial crown with a leash. We destroy all walkways for one, unending path, one lonely path of sanity-killing profligacy. Beyond gods, beyond demons, beyond light, beyond shadows.
You cannot control these Three.
These Three shall control You. And laugh.
Uleni, Uleni, Uleni-eni-eni...
Heehee.
You betray your youth, Uleni. I was forging a path through Madness before I took my first breath, when you were not yet even a twinkle in your father's eye, perhaps not even then a thought. I was steeped in Madness long before you first drew breath.
A tool can be put to many uses Uleni, regardless of the intent behind that use. Do not think you discern my intent from my words when I speak of chaos and deceit. They are as sand in your grasp Uleni, and the tighter you think to grasp my meaning the more it eludes you, without effort. All that I have said is as readily applicable to one who spreads madness for the simple pleasure of spreading it as to one who uses it for their own purposes.
And you betray yourself still more Uleni, with your accusations. Darkness and shadows and poisons in the moonlight? Do subtlety, harmony, and temptation seem so dark to you Uleni, that you must cling to such bluntness?
You betray yourself yet further, when you liken Madness, Mischief, and Chaos to fire. Fire is mindless, devoid of subtlety and delicacy, and consumes without will or purpose of its own. Do you not comprehend the intricacies of that which we speak of?
You cling to these sole aspects so tightly that it warps your sight Uleni. Do not so limit yourself, and put mastery of them beyond your grasp, for this will I tell you in all truth: Either Madness is a tool in your hand, or you are a tool in its. To seek to control them is indeed folly, but to direct them? To apply them where they will have the greatest purpose, the most exquisite effect? To channel them where you will, and in so doing come to greater understanding of them? These my friend, are the subtleties that you must come to understand before you think to vie with me.

Heeheehee. If you wish the players to hear you Lizzie, then you must first join the game!
