Conspiracy Theorist

Who wrote, "The Chrysos War left carnage and devastation in its wake"?
As the black tide surges and the city-states crumble, does it all unfold like a strategic game of chess?
Do not accuse me of being bitter or heartless,
For the epic tales of the world are mere dramas to me.
Look at Talanton, who claims fairness and justice, yet chaos and rebellion reign supreme.
And see Aquila, the Father of the Skies, yet they confine their followers to the earth below.
I'd venture to say that even the Flame-Chase Journey of the Chrysos Heir is just a farce.
Since Amphoreus has crumbled into mud, why not just let it be?
We're mere mortals, with nothing more to lose than our pathetic lives.
Might as well seize the day and have some fun before we're gone.
You ask if I've lost all faith in life?
Let me tell you, I put my faith in the Coin of Whimsy.
