DEATH EATER DECLARATION
What has been said about the Death Eaters? For one, they make terrific villains. And hey, they're pretty spiffing as role playing characters, too. It is never wise to disrespect someone who can turn into a coral viper and incinerate your bedroll as a "practical joke."
But, always, remember nothing is complete or final until you buy the last book in the shop.
SALAZAR’S HERITAGE
We are unique in wizardingkind. We are the first of wizarding kind. We are the elite. Therefore, we do not need to excuse ourselves for who we are, but to see pride and conviction in our joint and personal ventures.
“We love the Earth. We love the value of time. And we love the vexed interests we were granted with.”
Before the common populace started to informally style us as ‘Death Eaters’, the foundation of Lord Voldemort’s movement - the Knights of Walpurgis - were the voluntary protectors of all that is magical and natural, in a world when non-magical human beings ousted peaceful coexistence and set out to dominate the wizarding world. We all live on mother Earth, and she sustains us. To defect her natural cycle by artificially altering the world as they would preferably like to see her, Muggles destroy the life ecology that founds all magic. Today, not only large parts of our natural earth have been destructed - Muggle blood infiltrates and dilutes the magical talent in our very veins on an equal basis. The roll call has been made.
WHY THE DEATH EATER CAUSE SHALL PREVAIL
“For every muggle born wizard, there are at least four people who need to be told about us. How many of those four to do you trust to keep a secret?
“And how many of those people do you think would hate you for being different?
“How many of them would it take to know before they come for us?”
Death Eaters are at a notable disadvantage these days. Estimations of students at Hogwarts range from 200 at the least to 1,000 at the most - even if we take the maximum estimation, it would mean all British wizards born in a timespan of 7 years equal 1,000. If so, there are a maximum of 15,000 wizards in Britain. Opposed to a total population of 55 million Muggle Brits, you do the maths.
For seconds, funny wobbly sort of conker mushrooms atomic bombs may in fact off half the world, wizards and Muggles alike. Praytell, wouldn’t a single Avada Kedavra in retaliation not be much in place?
THE MEANS
What it is to be a Death Eater
"I wouldn't care to sit by the window on an airplane. If I can't control it, why look?"
Death Eaters have a natural tendency to marshall and direct. This may be expressed with the charm and finesse of a world leader or with the insensitivity of a brash pawn. Death Eaters require little encouragement to make a plan. While "compelled" may not describe Death Eaters as a group, nevertheless the bent to plan creatively and to make those plans reality is a common theme.
Death Eaters are often "larger than life" in describing their projects or proposals. This ability may be expressed as megalomania in some, but equally as story-telling facility or stand-up comedy in others. There can only be one Lord Voldemort; the Death Eater camp is too diverse in individual outlooks to demand our respect for uniformity over anything else. In combination with the natural propensity for filibuster, our heroes can make it very difficult for the customer to decline.
TRADEMARK: "I'm really sorry you have to die." (We realise this is an overstatement. However, most Order members and other gentle souls usually chuckle knowingly at this description.)
Because a Death Eater’s main charges - plants, animals, magic, and the health of the planetary ecology - essentially lack alignment or ethos, Death Eaters feel free to use almost any means necessary to protect them.
The Death Eater order works to maintain a neutral balance. However, they do realise that most individuals' actions - including their own - will prove significant to the cosmic balance. Death Eaters see the friction between alignments as the driving force in the world.
When faced with a tough decision, a Death Eater usually stands behind the solution that best serves wizardingkind in the long run.
Death Eaters are decisive. They see what needs to be done, and frequently assign roles to their fellows. Few others can equal their ability to remain resolute in conflict, sending the valiant (and often leading the charge) into a joint resistance, causing them to break out every pagan profanity curse under the horizon.
IN REPLY TO THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX
‘The side of right?’ ‘The side of love?’ Console yourselves with that notion when you are standing next to Potter's grave, or the Dark Lord’s. Or next to the grave of any of us. Do you honestly believe that Death Eaters don't love their children? They believe that their cause is as "right" as you do. You may be naïve, but you cannot be cry out stupid. Each "side" will be digging graves. Each "side" will be burying their children, their husbands, their wives, their friends.
Let us hope to Grindelwald your notion that it was ‘right’ comforts you all when you smell freshly turned earth from newly dug graves.
And when you have destroyed the core of the wizarding world, let us hope you are at least glowing to your ass cheeks for having saved its name.
