Tactical and Scouting Report - Order of the Blazing Sun

Moostrov and Annora,
I am a champion of your cause and I thank you for your information.
I have no qualms about removing a cancer from our world.
I live by the sword, and I have accepted that karma.
But I would like to reduce collateral damage, as much as possible.

On my honor,

Annora,

I have been puzzled by some of the things in your report - and thank you again for your good work in gathering this intelligence.

The references that Valos himself made, of which I brought up in a previous posting, were tenuous at best. The terms "hand" and "hands" seem to have been nothing more than coincidental, I would think. But still the phrase "Hands of Valos" has never come up in any of my experience from my youth until now. Thinking that there might be some historical reference I sought out information amid the Church libraries in Glangsdale.

When looking for any references to this High Templar Hyram or the Hands of Valos, I found nothing. Absolutely nothing. Upon inquiring and discussing with some of the learned clergy of my Church, they are just as puzzled as I am. I could swear that some of them were looking at me like "...the hell are you talking about?"

This Blazing Sun is using the name of Valos, but there is nothing in our traditions about any of the things of which they speak.

Yours,

Gods are not omnipotent.
Consider some things
Are just,
People acting as people do.

Ephram, I thank you for your research.
But Niko is right.
Religions may be formed around gods, but they are established and maintained by mortals.
These terms may be specific to the Blazing Sun.
Records could have been stricken from your church's archives. We don't know.
Let us stop focusing on the Order of the Blazing Sun as an offshoot of Valosians and look at them as an entity unto themselves.
Analyze them as such and we have a better chance of finding answers.

Good then they are not Valosian.
Lets not call them such,
and remove the power in those words.

Ephram,
We see you fight often. Here we ask you. Fight with your contradictions. We might find no weight in your words, but if you may be so cunning as to catch them with your tenants, and prove to the masses that this is not Valos. We may sway some of the illiterate farmers and such.

Oh no.
They are Valosian.
Don't hide what they are.
Recognize them,
And then stop them.

Niko Malagan
