Adlanna's Theory of Desire
Mastery over material life and the freedom from such mastery plagues our species. It matters not, some say, to do as such if in the arms of the Ambar Tree we are finally given amnesty from the constant seeking of novelty and feeling. I once took to this notion when I was young, the unfair nature of desire felt known to myself acutely and fighting it left me despondent day to day.
I now vehemently refute this way of thinking. Our modern discoveries must not be neglected and the Ogen is a key to our understanding both material and extramaterial. As it has been postulated by Wizards of the Zyclest University a Soul is a contradictory object if it exists within the meat of our material selves in isolation. The theoretical discovery of the Ogen solves this conundrum and anchors the Soul such that it might not be torn from our material selves at our inception. This leads naturally to the conclusion that the Soul is an extramaterial object held here by a material one. Additionally it is broadly agreed that the Soul is more ourselves than the material body it resides within. If the Soul is these two things: Extramaterial and the seat of our true selves then it might be concluded that desire as it drives us materially is a function of the Ogen and not the Soul.
Adlanna Caladwen is a 437 year old Elvish Philosopher. She has gained such a significant following that the Cundo in Ambar has seen fit to grant her honorable lodgings within the Ambar Tree despite her being of no known noble blood.
Adlanna has studied much of the older Elven philosophy often alluding to it slyly in her own writings, where many Elves’ pride pushed them to reconstruct already existing ways of thought Adlanna builds off of her predecessors and is the first in many centuries to have pushed boundaries significantly.
