To raise an army against us, Draksadd...

Plant a Dragon's tooth. "Draksådd" (dragon-seed). 👀 [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Areopagitica]John Milton, "Areopagitica".[/url] His work instrumental in defining standards for liberty inspired by Isocrates speech, [url=https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0144%3Aspeech%3D7%3Asection%3D1]Areopagiticus[/url] Note: there are 38 sections, I linked to the only free version of Isocrates' speech I could find. Milton, speaking to indoctrination & warmongery, [i]"For books are not absolutely dead things, but ...do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous Dragon's teeth; and being sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men"[/i] Speaking to instigating conflicts.... Another part of Mara's "plan" we don't get to know about. 😇 👍💠. [url=https://www.destinypedia.com/Lore:Marasenna#Archiloquy][i]"So then. The brave voyagers' fate, the timeless birthing-place, [b]my Milton reenactment[/b], the ruins made ours, [b]the riven twice riven[/b], the daughter's blood scabbed hard on mother's wound. All things told, all truth revealed, if through mist and mystery. If you have grace, then see our sorrows, but swallow back your tears. We were made to pay this price. I led us to our fate. Seek me in my place. Hear these whispers from the lips of Queen-Egged God".[/i][/url] "my Milton reenactmen", Mara Sov. "Paradise Lost" & "Areopagitica". One explaining humanity's greatest evils by using Satan as metaphor. The other that is "Anti" ... "Secrets". Freedom of speech, freedom of expression ... liberty. They're connected, for many would sow Dragon's teeth... for power and influence. "Better to reign in Helll..."

    Surely it has nothing to do with her near divine status while creating the Distrubtary and the deception and manipulation she engineered within…or her goals to fully attain godhood. (Which was her master plan with Oryx…) Nah. It can only be about some hidden storyline that has never materialized in the game…and has no setup to materialize… 🤣
