Responsum ab ecclesia

Written by

ARCHBISHOP ZACHERY

 

 

As truth forces its way through the earth, sprouting and spreading its roots like an oak tree, are people become more enlightened. Truth does not benefit all of course, for it ruins the reputation and public view of those who would rather the truth stay buried. After publishing my findings regarding the Sentinels, Ascended and the demon gang, they desperately attempt to justify their actions with the most pathetic excuses I have seen. They do not deny their order contains demonic creatures within their ranks, they embrace this much like a medal. I will reply to each point made by the Sentinels and then to the threat and bounty upon mine life, to clear the air on what is true and what is not.

-Demons and Naztherak

“While demons and Naztherak do reside under the wing of  Ortu Solis, they do not in any case

represent the order as a whole— we are an order of the Descendants, and we intend to keep it that way. We are no demon city or order, as it’s been named. Ortu Solis is not built for the feeding of demons or seeing the success of them. We are an order of peace, an order of protection, and an order of light.”

 

Our Goal

“Ortu Solis has only one goal, and that is the protection of the Descendants of Arcas. As it was our goal in Atlas, when we did our best to protect you all. Ortu Solis was founded with intention to protect those of the Descendant race, alike the ascended. We hold similar interests— to protect.”

 

The Descendants

“Ortu Solis discriminates against no person on this world, no matter their race, background, or magical ability. Anyone who takes up knighthood under our banner is sworn to uphold our very way of life under the sun. Not a hair on a Descendants’ head may be harmed, and no Knight is exempt from these laws. Whether that knight be a Demon, a Druid, an Orc, or even a Wight, they are to be disallowed Knighthood under this banner if they harm those we swore to protect.”

 

What truly surprises me is that you don’t even attempt to deny that these foul creatures exist in your order. Instead you attempt to justify it. Is shows your true colours when you turn your blind eye to these dangerous creatures aiding in your supposed goals of preventing a world-ending event from happening. These demonic beings have long infiltrated our Empire, finding exploits and abusing our people. Karyssmov continues to curse pregnant women, causing their children to be born with great deceases, deformations and addled minds. He keeps tabs on his creations in order to induct them amongst his creation when they reach adulthood or to use them to spy on our people.

 

It is a well known fact that demonic beings are required to feast upon the flesh of the descendants in order to survive, some even require the blood of infants. You shamelessly turn a blind eye to this in favour of propagating your order as if it is something to be revered and considered relevant in this vast and complicated world. You openly accept undead beings, be they range from ghouls, litches, necromancers and demons, this is an affront to the laws of almost every nation.

 

You claim that the goal of this order is to protect the descendants from threats, yet I see none. It is an impossible task to stop world-ending events from happening due to the sheer magnitude of them, if GOD wants something to happen, it will happen. No pompous and self-righteous person will be able to stop GOD’s will. If history teaches us anything is that every realm we go to, we always end up either destroying, abandoning or being forced off. And who is it I ask, who is the cause of most world-ending events of threats to the descendants? It is the undead forces of Iblees and the demonic entities he has created. I do not know any other greater threat than this. Yet instead of actually fulfilling your own orders goal, you allow creatures and beings into your order which threaten the world order, peace and our stability on this island. You can turn a blind eye to what history teaches us, but we as a united man will not.

 

Yes, you have a set of standards for your ‘knights’, but when you enduct ghouls, wights, demons and other creatures of the occult and ungodly nature, you cannot expect them to honour these standards and oathes. All of these unnatural creatures are what threaten our realm most so do not try to patronise me and deceive the people you claim to protect. Wights, litches, necromancers and demons all feast off either the flesh of the descendants or their very life-force. I have myself seen wights sucking the life out of mortal men and yet here you claim they should be given the same respect as the living. No, that is something we as men of GOD simply cannot do. They should be cast out into the void just as Iblees was, those who stand alongside them as brothers are doomed to the same fate. You truly have no shame.

-Karyssmov Faroe

“Karyssmov Faroe, the man it seems you are most fixated on, is now under my care. Through the Rising Sun, he will seek redemption. Through the path he has chosen to follow, he will become a man much better than what his past defines him as. No Descendant will be harmed while I am in control of this Order, so it is wise we not butt heads, but instead find the middle ground so that we not pose burdens to one another and allow the safety and protection of both sides.”

 

-The Ascended

“As mentioned before, we have similar goals as the Ascended, and we do not plan to get in the way of Descendant affairs. We find ourselves oftentimes working together in order to accomplish goals, and our association is based on a similar mission. Both of us seek to protect the descendants from the overarching threats to Arcas at large, such as on Atlas where we ran around like fools under the confusion and panic of September’s assault. Our association with them is to prevent such a thing from happening again.”

 

 

-The Threat to the Archbishop

“Let it be known that this is purely an attempt to frame the order, and a rather poor attempt at that. It is ingenuine, and not a response that has at all been acknowledged or endorsed by its leadership. Such threats and lies to those of the descendant race are frowned upon in Ortu Solis and are nothing more than outsiders’ attempts at feeding the fire that we seek to extinguish. It is concerning to see third parties acting so quickly to further this conflict.”

 

Time and time again do I constantly hear people taking responsibility for somebody's actions as if they are nothing. Time and time again do I see little ever achieved, for it is commonly used as an excuse to have them amongst you without repercussion or consequence. I do not care if you have taken it under your wing, Karyssmov Faroe, his associates and creations are all damned to the void. I feel pity for you as you clearly cannot see the evil and foul deeds they have commit. When will the lesson be learned, you cannot reason with the dead and beings most foul. You cannot alter a demons most primitive way of thinking, it is in their blood and nature to consume and attack the innocent. They are beings of chaos and no matter what fancy cloth you cover it up in, they will still be the same when he has placed buds of wool over your eyes. Descendants were, have been and still are being harmed by him and his associates, it has now become commonplace to see children bear the curse of his deleterious deeds. I swear to GOD, I will not stop until justice is found for the lives he has taken in order to fuel his creations, experiments and existence.

 

Comparing your goals to that of the Ascended is nothing to gloat over. If history has taught us anything, it is that the Ascended are utterly useless. They no longer fit for purpose. You both seek to stop world-ending events yet turn a blind eye to the beings which have caused destruction, famine and death so many times. You violate your very tenants and instruments of your foundation. I do recall the tale, when there was a portal near to cloud temple docks a few realms past. Instead of destroying this portal the Ascended instead wanted to open it either through sheer idiocy or lust for importance again. Anywho, they ended up bringing great death and destruction on our kin for when they opened this portal, the demon, Gazardiel, was unleashed. The Ascended have only themselves to blame, they care not for humanity and instead spend the majority of their time committing degenerate acts in the Sutican square, constantly trying to grasp at importance again.

 

The threat threat and bounty against my person simple exemplifies everything I have stated about demons and their most primitive instinct. You claim that this was not published by those amongst you, however when you harbour so many foul creatures who seem to keep so many secrets from you, who could know? This is a consequence of accepting these beasts into your own ranks and expecting us to show them the same respect we do our brothers and sisters. It is clear the members of your order do not follow your tenants and goal as they continue to threaten our stability and existence.

“Wretched pathetic old fool, you are already corrupt and have been since you foolishly took up the very position we gave you. You are our pawn, our plaything and you knew this all along.. But why tell you this? Why reveal that you are an insignificant insect? Because you have outlived your usefulness to the great thirst. Perhaps they too will receive this threat and they may not even question your devotion to GOD but let it be known apostate that we know what you are just as you know what we are. Let it be known that we are your neighbors, your brothers, your sisters, we are the guards that protect your cities and the servants that serve your very households.”

 

You must be kidding if you think I should take this threat seriously, you are most likely one man who has many fantasies which he can never fulfill. You have absolutely no authority, power or importance within this realm. You gave me no position was my position was earned and given to me by the High Pontiff, who is so free from your deceitful and beady eyes. The populace of Renatus can attest, I have earned my position through hard work and effort, not by posting dozens of cryptic messages demanding respect hiding behind masks and hoods for fear of being ousted, like you do. You call me insignificant yet you never show your face in the public, for if I am so insignificant why do you bother yourself over me, for I am merely a small insect, no? If I have outlived my usefulness to you, then end me.

 

In your pathetic attempt at a threat, you called me an apostate. If I was to serve your will or was selected by you for my usefulness, why would you pick a apostate to do your bidding. Or is this you attempting to seem relevant yet again. I will not allow this baseless threat to disrupt my devotion for GOD. You claim to be my neighbors, brothers, sisters and guards yet have to publicise your hatred for me, surely this could’ve been done at a meeting with your followers instead of forewarning me of your intentions or perhaps this is because you are not a group of people… but only one with many fantasies.

 

“Those who bring us the false man of Godani known as Zachery shall be rewarded with the sum of two thousand minas. Should the false prophet declare a larger sum as counter

we will pay twice the offered sum for such is the length of our influence and such is our power. Those who question our motives should look to the rotten empire that struggles to keep itself alive and realize the futility of such questions, we do not hide what we are but the empire of the false man hides their true nature under the false light of the sun. Bring him to us and we shall show you the lies, we shall reveal to all what this creature truly is and expose the empire for the corrupting blight that it despises so much.”

 

You have made your intentions quite clear, you wish for my death for exposing your masters and doing me duty to GOD. I invite you to try this yourself or are you too scared to show your face. You previously claimed you had people amongst us, you tried to scare me into believing your followers were everywhere and yet you are practically begging for somebody to follow this bounty of a measly 2000 minas. If you had such devout followers or soldiers then why would you need to create a public bounty, why would you even need to pay them? Perhaps it is because you have nobody and are hoping for the greedy sinner or fellow-demon to do you wishes, not out of respect for your ideals but for the measly mina. You are a joke and expose your own inability in this pathetic attempt at a threat.

Albeit not hearing this particular spoop speak, a pious man would recite a similar argument in his mind, and formulate a counter argument.

“It is not ignorant in the slightest. A wild, feral beast, does no go out of its way to consume an intelligent being, yet it will take the opportunity to. For instance, let us take the example of a cockatrice. A cockatrice normally does not fly into a city and prey upon the flesh of those within it. Instead, however, given the opportunity, the cockatrice would eat a lone traveler, or adventurer who threatened it. I would imagine if I asked a cockatrice whether it thought humans tasted good it too would reply with something similar – that they taste icky. Yet, still, the cockatrice hides and avoids civilization. It hides not because it is natural to hide, but instead because it knows its very being is taboo and hated. Similar to the spooks our fair archbishop disdains! It knows by its very nature that it is wrong, a monstrosity, and so do those of undead or necrotic composition. Even a pig would eat its master should it find him sleeping in the mud, or perhaps a loyal dog upon finding its master deceased and alone. Thus, you are no different from a dog, a swine or even a monster. Your kind is feral, and are usually responsible for the destruction of our continents. You attempt to sever our devotion to god – the laxity of your pseudo civilization, one built upon deception and evil nature, attempts to justify sins and lessen their severity.  You fool no-one bar the corrupted, spook, and you are as compelling as rat-****. I hope you burn in the nether, but then again, such a fate might satisfy thee since you wish to cradle yourself in Iblees’ embrace. Deus Magnus.”

The Grandmaster taps his index finger on the arm rest of the throne, reading the response “Must this truly become a battle of wits?” he looks up from the paper “Although, that would suffice more than battle of strength. I would just hope he comes to understand these “facts” he claims to be real are false.”
