Meister Eckhart (1260-1328) was a priest, a mystic, and nearly a heretic (he died before the Church court's verdict).

Erich Fromm, Eckhart Tolle, Richard Rohr, D. T. Suzuki, and Ru...

Like many empires whose borders were carved by the edge of the sword, so too-by the labor of war-was this empire born!In an age when the people of Mediterane forsook our gracious Lord and demons offered their powers to be used by the people of the land, an endless Goblin horde, led by their demon-possessed warlord, invades the realm.
