Lords of the Things

The darkness is spreading
Towards the end of the last millennium the powers of darkness started to gather. Their wickedness grew for each day that passed and spread far and wide. Soon it became clear that the new millennium wouldn’t be new at all.
In the struggle between cooperation and selfishness the dark forces are gaining an advantage. Human laughter continues, but more often people are laughing at one another’s bad luck. A cloud of fear, loneliness and mistrust hangs over them threatening their collective spirit.
The Dark Lords - Creation of the Empire
The dark lords live behind walls in comfort and luxury. Here they protect themselves from the world to avoid the suffering and agony they create for others.
They have created dominating coalitions under which only they are free. Coalitions that now are known as the Empire. Through secret agreements behind closed doors and arrogant demonstrations of power, they exhibit their suppression and deny the people their freedom. They spread their brutality to all corners of the world and hundreds of millions of beings suffer under their suppression. The dark lords representatives meet several times yearly to conspire, and grow even stronger and more powerful. The meetings are cloaked in fine words to hide the dire consequences.
The dark lords and their henchmen project every struggle for cooperation between people as a struggle for evil. Their tools is language that beguiles and confuses, and sounds authoritative, but divides and suppresses. This is necessary since human beings submission and slavery have always been the foundation of the dark lords existence.
One thing threatens the dark powers that they cannot hold back:
Human solidarity. It is already existing - and is growing.
Solidarity takes root
The fellowship includes everyone, from the underworld and sky warriors, to the overlooked and patient. It is a diverse movement that is present everywhere, especially where the dark forces think they are most secure. Wherever the dark forces meet they face the opposition; the brave rebels, the sneaky elves and the cautious creatures of the night. Travelers from near and far meet in the hope that together they can break down the walls of darkness. They are steadfast in their fight for diversity, cooperation and friendship with nature and all its creatures.
On the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, in the second year of the new millennium another meeting is planned, to drag the world farther in to darkness. But once again the forces of good will defy the seemingly unbeatable and strike cracks in the asphalt of selfishness.

The Dark Side:
The Empire:
-The Empire goes by various names: WTO, EU, G8, NATO, IMF and the World Bank, which are the most powerful of these. Their meetings form the visible power base for the Dark Lords. From here they send out their orders. These power bases are veiled to seduce and charm the weakest opposition to take to the Dark Side. Under the veil they spin an endless web of lies. Behind these veils stand their blood smeared walls heavily guarded by soldiers of the Empire.
Lords of Darkness:
-The Lords of Darkness have cast a dark curse over the people of the earth and established The Empire. Some of them live secluded and posses uncountable wealth. Others pose as the peoples servants and protectors. In a disgraceful unholy alliance they are nurtured by one another’s evil. An evil which throughout the era has constantly escalated in scope and brutality. The Dark Lords have the real power and form the absolute greatest threat towards the earth and its people.
The Mutants:
-The servants of the dark side, through discipline and with an enormous lust for power, have become one pointed in organizing and administrating the murderous plans of the Lords of Darkness. They function as the link between the Lords of Darkness and the people of the world. They appear harmless at first glance although they have the capacity to make themselves invisible and seemingly meaningless. They are often found very close to the centers of power of the Lords of Darkness who attract them with magnetic powers.
Soldiers of the Empire:
-They have been recruited to serve the Lords of Darkness. They have been led to believe that they serve justice. But soon they are brainwashed to blindly follow the orders from the Dark Side. They can be very dangerous to confront since they often do their duty with cold brutality.
The Disobedient:
Your role during the day of action, Friday, the 13th of December, 2002
The United Body:
Diverse riot forces using just their bodies go in direct confrontation with the forces in power. Their strength is, that through sheer numbers they can blockade and create spaces where the forces in power are denied entrance.
The Sneaky Elves:
-They are mischievous and witty. They work individually or in small groups and perform pinpoint actions with the goal to ridicule and expose the dark powers. Their strength lies in their mobility and ability to quickly and steadfastly undermine the orders the dark forces are depending on.
The Flow Commanders:
-With their deep knowledge of the latest technology and its language they crack the codes of the dark powers. Their strength is that they can work alone and from long distances overload and disrupt the systems of the dark powers.
The Masters of Drawings:
-In a constant battle with the powers they regularly transform streets of the darkness by magical means. They are often pursued by the soldiers of the Empire when they, alone or in small groups, slip out to set their own stamps on the symbols of darkness. With their creativity and knowledge of the night and by treading carefully, they are able to create colors and life that the powers of darkness cannot suppress.
The Ocean of Humanity:
-Here everyone, The Sneaky Elves as well as The Rioters, meet together with the rest of humanity to show solidarity in the struggle against darkness. The Ocean of Humanity´s strength is its enormous numbers and diversity which make it difficult for the Empires Soldiers to advance.
