Mass

We have an alter? When did Pendarvin get an alter?

So, anyone can attend, and any priest may speak, including those faiths held true by Gaaldaron which has been more than just a scourge to all of Kormyre. The excommunicated "priest of Valos" is organizing this event, who as Sir Weaveforger put it is "banned from performing mass" and as Bishop Chance has decreed may not proselytize or preach. And yet someone "ordained to the Dark pantheon" -whatever the hell that means- may not speak, although the location of said gathering is outside because the Nobility of Travance will not have the excommunicated party "preach" or sermonize within their hall. However, "priests ordained to the Dark Pantheon,"-whom none have been banned from or excommunicated to my knowledge from any churches including the Light Church- are legally allowed to preach, proselytize, worship and aid Travance and Kormyre as has been done for some time, are now being told by the excommunicated that they should not be speaking at this heretical gathering...

Are you all sure that this isn't being held by those "ordained to the Dark Pantheon"? Because it sounds a little suspicious to me, I would greatly like to know who enforces the Church laws here. As I haven't been excommunicated from the Light Church, and actually frequent it, despite me having "sold my soul," and the like, I just wish to know which group will be dealing with this "Mass", Templars, the clerics, the Priests or Priestesses, (those not excommunicated of course), or would the Paladins or even the Town Guard be the ones whom have jurisdiction over said proceedings. Might we be graced with another Angel of Valos here to yet again deliver another message which his "servant" will argue about and ignore?

I'm not sure why anyone of my faith wouldn't be allowed to speak, as we're currently rebuilding Travance and frankly Edwin, you and yours are far better at destroying your own church, (when you were part of it), that your homage to the Lords of Darkness and Shadows are truly, profound acts of devotion.

This "Old time religion" thing does however remind of when all the Gods were represented in our monastery here in Travance, when there were altars to Malyc, and Valos, Aguarra and Andorra, and all the others, Light, Dark, and everything in between.

This mockery of faith is truly inspirational and I hope that there will be a great turnout to witness this comedy of gross errors. It is beyond regrettable that I will be unable to be present for this tragedy of faith and judgment; please, Chroniclerites take note for I will pay good coin for a good and detailed copy of this "good" story.


P.S.
Additionally anyone so interested, I have divined more information about the Cult of Visagalis, which both the Bishop and I have been working on tirelessly, please send missive to Mordavia, (PM me), or speak with me in person when I arrive in Travance Proper again.

Master Haroldson, I believe I know a Magic[strike]-Magic [/strike]song of my cousin's that goes along with the theme of your sermon. I don't normally attend mass, but perhaps town members will hear it on the road and here and there.

That is enough attacking on Father Haroldson's character. I could care less for Church politics, I judge what I see and how it measures to my standards, not to any god's, and I have seen Edwin perform far greater services to this land than any number of your dark clergy misfits, combined. One of your number have already been executed due to their flouting of our laws, and another is well on their way, so don't pretend that you're some benevolent force that only cares for rebuilding their damaged reputation. You have your agendas, and demonizing other groups is the best way to get eyes off of you while you fulfill them.

Haroldson has not the tolerance to build himself a deluded army of heretics, he's simply a teacher who wants to share the information of the topics he knows best, and I can only imagine how much he knows on religion. I stand by his endeavors, and I will welcome anyone's attempts to disrupt his lessons with base derision. That way I can take my general frustration out on them.

***NOT CAELVAN***

I'm still interested in Birgitta Drexel's questions. I know the third one was answered. But what about the first two?

And how far back are we going for this "old time religion" just wondering so I know what to expect if/when I attend this preaching.

I am concerned with the consequences that will befall those that worship the almighty might and authority of Enax if they were to attend such a gathering. It appears that all who are in authoritative positions in regards to this matter are opposed to the mass and whatever preaching he has to pontificate, so what authority does Edwin have to disregard the ruling of the gods and nobles!? As I understand it, going against such authority is heresy!

Can a member of the Enaxian clergy speak with conviction as to how we more disciplined shall proceed?

Ever so humbly,
