EPISCOPAL EXHORTATION: A MASS OF BLOOD

A missa est sanguis

Addressed to the Faithful of Arcas

 

MDCCXVII

 


 

Valliant Canonists,

 

Remember dear children that Horen’s kin are the rightful heirs to all authority on this Terra. All worldly praise be onto Horen’s descendants.

 

With such worldly might comes equal duty- both to GOD and Humankind. As such, the task of leadership has always been the burden of the purest of Horen’s line.

 

However, in this age our Father is greatly displeased by the actions of His Chosen, the sons of Horen. In their desire for unfruitful internationalism they have defied Him in bringing division to Man. This division is the antithesis of the Divine Plan and the work of the Defiler since the very beginning.

 

Therefore, in an effort to bring Divine Favor to the Chosen kin of Horen, with arms outstretched in supplication to Almighty GOD let us offer now a fervent and able presanctified sacrifice to Him. Let us offer our claimed purest Horen.

 

Indeed it is unfortunate that he must die. However, the goodness that is within our hearts and minds for ages to come as Children of Horen must be kept safe from warring deceivers in league with Iblees.

 

I offer up a charge to all able bodied Canonists to execute, with great reverence, one Godfrey Pertinaxi [III] who descends from Horen.


 

A Prayer of Sacrifice

 

Almighty GOD accept this bloody sacrifice of Chosen stock.

May his blood unlike his deeds be pure enough to expel the wickedness he foisted upon mankind.

We pray for pity Lord but in Thy Justice, if it be Your will,

cast him down into the outer darkness of the Void.

LORD, do we ever so sincerely pray: spare the innocent - mothers, children, and GOD-fearing men through this act of reparation so that one may die for a multitude to live.



 

☩ Bishop Abram, (ret).

“Since when do humans perform sacrifices in their ‘holy’ way of church” mutters a half orcish mercenary from a corner. “What are you, orcs?”

“Wait a minute.. Blood sacrifices? That sounds like something an Iblees worshiper would want.. So the Orenians are not only led by a ***** son bastard who is too feeble to carry a sword made of anything other than softwood, they are also led by a blood seeking Iblees worshiper who pretends to be the vicar of GOD? What kind of madness has befallen on this world?” Asks an inquiring man.

Otto of Judeberg says bursting with confidence
“I pity the souls who focused too heavily on the words ‘bloody’ and ‘sacrifice’. sacrifice is only creative word choice, the Horen must have his life evicted from his body, and with his death the small, helpless, and fragile mortals that we are can beg our lord GOD'S forgiveness. What sane individual would commit the same crime over and over to our creators dismay, why would he go against the very reason we exist? This is not a cry to slap some demented royalty on a stone slab in a bloody circle, this is a plea to the faithful and humanity itself to appease our lord, to show that we understand that we have displeased him and that we will write the wrongs we have done in history, take them here and now and never repeat them. One such man, now a saint once told me 'Mercy, Mercy is at the heart of the gospel' and that is what we must do, we must show humanity mercy through the bloody correction of Godfrey. Godfrey although his faith seems to falter, is indeed a piece of humanity, we must sacrifice that piece as would a person their own limb, in trade for that blood we seek mercy. AVE GOD, May he have mercy on humanity.”
Ending his small speech he retires to his chambers with a sincere hope for humanity and the church as it’s shepherd to persevere through this hardship

A man would walk by, reading the missive with a great look of disgust. ”Human religions... bah. Their religions’ entire existences practically contradict themselves.” he would mutter. ”Then again.. most of their government and religious figures are drunk half the time anyway.”

“Religious human sacrifice sounds like a cult of Iblees to me,” frowns William Jrent. “I hope this is a joke.”

“I am glad the true Pontiff returned and will guide us away from these *****.” Waldemar commented, drinking ale in Helena. “Really now. First it’s our emperor being illegitimate, then it’s snow elves being saintly allies and now it’s human sacrifice.”

”And so the Orenians reveal their debt to the dark forces further,” remarked one Lewin of Blackwater, fully committed to breaking the chains that shackle the folk of Orenia to bloodthirsty dark sorcerers.
