Long enough to see the birth of gunpowder, industry, modern medicine, computers, space travel, faster than light travel, alloy acceleration guns...
The death of the sun...
Moving to another planet...
And the Crusades were my first experience.
Only Berserker's older than me, by technicality.
And I lived through the Red Winter.

I can't get over that still.
Its' why I got this conspiracy book.
Its' the one account I know of that says there was a guy behind it.
And its' a joke gift at Saturnalia.
The thing people laugh about- how ridiculous it is. How could one man sit in a basement, and produce something as devastating as the Red Winter.

I'm a Magi myself-
Not an extremely good one, but I know enough that a man can't sit down alone, and create a blizzard with any real ease or to go unnoticed in doing so.
This- man- occultist- that this book claims- created the Red Winter.
He'd have to be some sort of savant or- genius. Or he had help, but-
... I know the Aurelian traditions well enough that no-one should've been able to teach or help him accomplish that.
It'd have to be self-taught. And magic just doesn't... you don't just learn how to create a natural disaster in the span of a single life. It just doesn't happen.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postThat's why it doesn't make sense.
There is no-one else it could be.
But this book claims there was someone that purposefully created a natural disaster.
It makes me want to burn this book, because its' like some- mockery of all magic, and all the people that lived and died during it.
The death count was over a million, Gold.
That's why it was the Red Winter.
... And if there was someone that powerful, that managed to do all of this- why did they go dark?
Its'- like they didn't prepare for it, and got killed by it themselves- but- it would've had to have been planned, right?

No-one just throws the entirety of a continent into an ice age, on a lark- without preparing for the consequences.
I just- can't in my right mind- comprehend someone being able to do this.
You usually hear about people who- get this powerful.
