‡ Fire That Cleanses ‡

[DagonsChosen 85]

Words of recent event spreads throughout Oren and it's protectorates... Words that strike fear to the hearts of heathens and heretics, who had thought the age of Inquisition to have ended long ago. Such men and women rested assured that their ways would be ignored, and thus, dishonoured and disrespected the Church of the True Faith, spraying mud on it's name. But they were wrong...

 

The tales speak of a group of men, with the Lorraine cross upon their chest, that seems to wield supreme authority, led by a man whose cold, glassy eyes reflect the cleansing flames, in a way that leads even his closest companions to shudder. The times where the Knights Lorraine struck fear to the heart of every pagan were forgotten by most... But not by all, and, if those tales are true, those times are bound to return... Rather unexpectedly.

 

Pyres have been erected throughout Oren, and they have been put to use. The smoke and the smell of burned, /cleansed/ flesh, still rolls over Oren in thick clouds, along with the zealous, chanting voices, of men of the Order of Saint Amyas: "THE FIRE THAT CLEANSES!" "GOD WILLS IT!", and haunts all those who thought they were safe from persecution, safe from Inquisition.
