On the topic of the gods

I have spoken far too readily of the perils of light.

Gothi Caldor is right - there are many who are not filled with needless disdain. Mostly, they are of the rooted goddesses of light - the rose Andorra and the tree Gaia. But among those shining gods are a select few who do not let their faith cloud their judgment before they meet a person: Father Donald MacFionnlaigh of Valos is welcoming and a fine example from that side; Father Elric Ashby of Galladel, as pointed out by the Z'Hade Enam, is also not one to jump needlessly to blows.

Those who encourage hate and disparity are fools, and in this, I have been foolish and beg forgiveness.

With Enax's lead,
Datu Guo Chenjing

Her forgiveness is yours, as is my own.

We have all learned a lot of things.

The Amber path came from the one who walked it first as Visagalis. Those that walked the path after exemplify the traits they held most dear in life or ascended by the blood of those that did so. The two sisters of good and evil influence the world regardless of where they may reside and the Ascension war was created to give the Anastasi the answer of which is more powerful.

In this all free will has been created.

Choice in its simplist terms and choices may change by the influence of the living directly on that person. Were all that in balance then the way described at the start of this is possible. Each being in its balawick and each to their own. But when events turn as described by some, both dark and light in their choices so, they lean to those choices.

In choices of extreme devotion, they rage on so... and the answer for them is not yet found. Mark my words if you care to, but I see the War restarting as soon as the Null are dealt with and possibly sooner because of these very discussions.

Mind you not the discussions themselves but because the debate still rages here. I'm betting it still rages there among the Anastasi too or are watching and learning about this aspect even now.

The women need each other. They are sisters in sibling rivalry that is cosmic or at least worldly. It's reflected in so many siblings in the world too.

If their first memory is playing in a field cared by an aspect priest I put forth this isn't their first incarnations either. The Aspect priest who raised them already had to exist.

So there are many right and wrongs still to be sussed out here.

Keep the faith, whatever your faith is but be aware a sessession of hostility is not an end nor is it an answer. It's a pause.

Just some thoughts on the subject from a Mercenary Commander.

Cmd. B. Drexel,

You are wise to say that a break in fighting does not mean an end to all fighting.

As a community, we need to come together and heal. That healing process will be long and difficult and it will not transpire perfectly. There will be challenges both internal and external. There will be setbacks and triumphs. We will learn and we will grow and we will change.

There may be people who do not wish to see our community change and who will choose to prevent the healing for personal gain or out of pure stubbornness. Those people should be brought forward and confronted with the error of their ways. They should be given a choice, either to join the community in healing or to find a new community elsewhere.

I ask all who will join me in healing this community to place your mark below to show that we have the desire to come together and move forward as one tribe.

(OOG -- place your mark but clicking "Thank You")

Hello Everyone!

Does that mean someone of the "Neutral" or "Dark" clergy will have a chance to say benediction at feast?

Considering Belegchand gave benediction at this past Feast, I would say that that is at least partially the case already, Edmund.
