Greetings

Mother Angeliana and other readers,

If you would at least make a token effort to help save the mortal souls of these practitioners of dark, and vile arts before offering them helpful advice. You might cease the endless embarrassment of the church and your fellow brothers and sisters in public forums by consorting openly and encouraging their behavior.

You do realize they are talking about the eternal corruption of the sacred passage from life into death as if it was their own and not under the care of Galladel, our god.

If they have writs, and I do not know, then they may be untouchable. However, the Pontiff and our King has said that ANY practitioners of dark arts who -flaunt- their powers will see their writs nullified and thereby find themselves outside of the protection of the law and considered immediately enemies of the crown and our holy church.

I would say that this sort of childish preening about ones own abilities or influence on a public forum fall dangerously close to the line which has been drawn by the King Aleric himself.

Let no mistake be made by anyone, all followers of dark gods acquire their powers given to them by the murder, torture, rape, defilement and corruption of other living sentient beings, that is written in the tenants of their faith, and so if they can perform miracles and prayers of darkness, they have done those things. Even if you have never seen them do it, it is not because they are "misunderstood" or "not bad at heart" , it is because you have chosen not to look close enough to see it.

If your friend or neighbor is a practitioner of these evil ways, then they -have- beyond a shadow of any doubt, brought intentional suffering and loss to your fellow people. If you can sleep at night and call that "the way of the world" then I would without hesitation, question your sanity.

Mr. Belfast, I speak only for myself, but if you are concerned as to whether or not I follow a dark god, as it seems you are implying, or that I harbor "evil" intentions, I am happy to undergo any questioning, preferably of the kind that involves hearing the truth rather than the other, that would assuage your mind. In return though, I'd ask that for each question asked of me, I'm allowed to ask a question of you.

What I do care about is professionalism, and while my job is not a pleasant one, it is one that must be done in certain times. To that effect, I do not offer my services regularly to the town, but in cases of extreme threat, I make them available. To my mind, a necromancer that is capable of shattering the very thumos that makes it possible for a person to return through the nexus, represents one of those threats.

Depending on the orders of the nobility, and if this necromancer still exists in a meaningful way on our plane, he will either be dead by my hand or in your care by the end of the next feast, Mr Dumourne. He will not escape justice for his crimes and use of foul maleficarum.

Mr. Eirson,

While your outrage is understandable, I'd prefer it if you do not kill him yet. Questioning, in my experience, has very little success on the dead.

On a lighter note, I am must say I am delighted by the nuance of your vocabulary. It is not every day that I get to enjoy the word "maleficarum", but it is an intellectual joy to see it used here to such great effect. What have you been reading lately, I wonder?

Mister DuMourne,

The statement I have made was intentionally directed at those proclaiming to be priests, and or missionaries of the god of death, Gallamachis. A god who demands that his followers seek the death of all living things, and to attain their bond with him must do so regularly.

The fact that no one has batted an eye at the flippancy with which they are allowed to treat with good and honest people is beyond understanding.

Although you have, with limited subtlety asked for permission to torture someone, which in itself is a vile crime, I can only assume that you do not also worship a dark god and have not implied such. However the bizarrely defensive nature of your reply when I was clearly not speaking of you is telling in of itself.

That aside.

Lieutenant Grimkjell, I would offer you my unconditional aid and will in all haste hunt and destroy or capture this defiler as you see fit. I will be armed, horsed and prepared for this mission in one day. If we have not found and rendered justice to this Necromancer by the next feast day, I will redouble my efforts with you then.

**Not Caelvan**


It only has little success if you don't know how to do it. If you need short answers, such as yes or no, seek me out, perhaps when I am "helping" people won't kill me. However if they do, well there is a reason I meditate everyday. I'll be ready

Also, Mr. Belfast. I would welcome you to say your ending sentence from your previous posting in the presence of many of my friends back in Amon'Zad.....I don't think they will take to kindly to being called insane.

Perhaps I can help you understand, yes? Perhaps when Mr. Mapo and I have a talk, you can join us. It may shed some light...so to speak on your views of darkness and Death.

-Merikh
