           A Thesis on Blood

 

 

                      Blood; the genus, the ichor of life. Bestowed with divine purity at the time of creation, the blood of the descendants has been diluted through the ages by ignorance and sin. Yet ignorance is no excuse, for we, the children of God, have been plagued by this iniquity since the time of Aegis. Blood is what binds the family and seperates the truly faithful from those unworthy of salvation. The sacred tenets of Temperance have been broken time and time again, men overtaken by violent lusts, and so we must TAKE HEED of the Lord's word, for it is us that must suffer for the sins of our fathers. According to Imperial records, the parentage of the Lady Helen Horen is unknown to us. In truth, only the Lord can say with certainty if she was truly a divine Horen. The prestige of those noble families whomst have remained pure in ancestry is well-deserved, for the burden of purity is a holy burden indeed. With the dissolution of the 'Horen' dynasty, however, those houses whomstd've fallen short of purity must be called into question. They must be accounted for and perhaps even culled lest they seduce the empire into anarchy and ruin as the Harrenites of old.

 

As a humble acolyte, I call upon his eminence Johannes I ( @Froschli ) to hear the needs of the faithful, to recognize the iniquity that has befallen the nobility of Oren, and to take action against those who have fallen short of God's purity.

 

Amen, and God save us.
