$It has been 20 long, prosperous, peaceful years since the end of the war of the Ring. Many of the Elves have left for the Grey Havens to sail into Valinor. Not all, but most, of the magic has left the world. We have entered the Age of Men. ~Kate Welch (Lost Odyssey: The Red Scribe) Darkness was the void. In the heart of the Darkness lay the Black of it's spirit. Darkness was spread across the land, once. Black is the banner it rallies behind - but the malevolence of it's core was RED. There was anger, hatred and fury in the RED. Just as the cacophonous dissonance was sown into the Great Music was RED, so too would it stalk the land clad in RED. The RED would take root and usher in the Darkness. The song was to be repeated. All those who saw it would be compelled to. That message would be RED. But soon it must become the Black. Not yet, but soon. It needed power. It needed worship, again. It stops to pause and reflect on it's surroundings. The stark obsidian walls; the weapons and the armor it cannot yet bear the burden of; the orb and the voices that had emanated from it to share the secrets of the world; now propagating it's call to those that could listen. It had felt bound to this small fortress hidden away from the world. It's womb. It's cradle. It's prison. Yes, it had been provided for - not that it needed much. It had been nurtured; had gathered it's strength. At first it was only awareness, the pull it felt to this place. It had felt ....thin..... in the Darkness for so long.... and here - here had been the place in which it felt focused. Where it felt the RED. At least until the moment it had been abruptly cut off from the force that had compelled it into shape. It had witnessed the flare in the sky on the distant horizon, watched as fire rained from the sky and mountains crumbled. It had felt a great emptiness in that moment. Still, it had continued to grow. To gather. To don the robe that would give it presence in this world. It had learned. Of his desires. Of his hatreds. Of the atrocities committed. Of the threats and the perpetrators behind those threats. Of the means to end those threats. It began to formulate. The face of the enemy was known. Now was the time to begin His final ascent and enact vengeance. HE would start with those most deserving. THEY would be 'enlightened' to the truth. It was time, for this place was his prison no longer.... * * * * * * * This is my take on the Red Scribe. I had to answer the question of "Who or What is He?". My fan theory is that as he grew in power, and closer to re-assuming his form, Sauron began the process of gathering the essence of Melkor - the dark lord known as Morgoth - from Arda and the Void where he is contained . Being in an incorporeal state, Sauron could only provide a focal point for Morgoth to arrive at and so had His resurrection temple built, and furnished, for His arrival. Once the Ring was destroyed, Sauron could no longer help facilitate the arrival. This shade remains incomplete, a fraction of it's true self. Through the relics and tomes left behind it has become relatively strong enough with purpose to attempt revenge on the ones that have caused so much grief throughout the ages. It strikes me that a correlation of the 'Return of Morgoth' would explain the reduction of magic in the world - as he gathered his form over the 20 years prior to revealing himself. Drawing portions of his essence from Arda (thus taking magic from the land) could be a possibility. Clad in red robes, it travels the land it inhabits (via Rivendell and then to the Grey Havens) towards the one place it knows it must go - Valinor. The journey shall spread the word of it's resurrection in a language that shall enslave all of Elven-kind to it's purpose. Only then can the true return be complete and Great Music be fully corrupted. This theory, the description of Red Scribe STL being 'unarmored', the 'wraith -like' presence and the events of Lost Odyssey makes me think that it has been temporarily banished back to it's spawning location. Exorcised temporarily by the elves it had enslaved it has returned to the locus of power that helped call it back into the world. Where is it? Perhaps only the adventurous can find it before the Scribe ventures forth again. Perhaps it shall return as something more sinister.
