WHAT GOD WOULD ALLOW THIS?

[Carson 1165]

 

[!] Comprised of cutouts of individual letters and words taken from books is a brief but potent missive. It appears to have much thought put into it, not least because of the meticulous ordering of letters. This would be found throughout alleyways of Oren, darker corners not necessarily traversed by most.

 

 

KINSLAYER (noun)

One who slays his or her own kin; a parricide.

WHAT GOD ALLOWS KINSLAYERS TO REIGN?

WHAT GOD ALLOWS THE HEEDLESS SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS?

PARRICIDE SOUNDS LIKE PARASITE. IS THAT WHAT YOU ARE?

DO YOU WORSHIP HIM OUT OF FEAR?

A GOD THAT GIVES NO DELIVERANCE, BUT LIES DISGUISED AS SWEET WORDS.

 

ENTROPY (noun)

A process of degeneration marked variously by increasing degrees of uncertainty, disorder, fragmentation, chaos, etc.

WHAT GOD ALLOWS THE VOID TO DESTROY A LANDMASS.

WHAT KING ALLOWS THE PROGENITORS OF DECAY TO WALK FREELY HIS STREETS? AGENTS OF CHAOS?

SUCCUMB NOT TO ENTROPY.

 

GOAT (noun)

A domesticated ruminant mammal having backward curving horns and a beard in the male, raised for its wool, milk, and meat.

HEED THE GOAT. PEASANTS, MAY YOU FIND YOUR POWER.

WOMEN, MAY YOU SHOW YOUR SHOULDERS WITH IMPUNITY.

HAVE HOPE, FOR THE LORDLY GOAT SHALL PREVAIL. MAY HE GUIDE US TO A NEW AGE OF REASON.

 

[Holyland 3650]

One Armand Cardinal Allobrogum, Auditor of the Tribunal, paused in thought only to ponder upon the lacklustre taste of goat meat and how foolish one might need to be to worship a farm animal and denounce the one true GOD.

[BobBox 3798]

"The word of The Goat reaches the mouths of the common people and they praise him loudly. Let all hear of his word, let all praise him so. I hope many more may open their eyes." Remarked one in the streets, a smile resting upon his features thereafter.

[AfroJoeTheOlogBro 1095]

A lordly creature of stone and virtue booms out a dark, sonorous laugh at a memory conjured by the missive. Both heads looked over to a brother that was no longer there, showing the missive to the missing one. "See this, Hound? I should have kept the name Goat!"

[Unwillingly 18096]

A lissome scholar wanders the alleys of Vienne, opting to take the short way home as opposed to facing the busy streets and merchants begging for trade. His palm drags along the wall, hoping for some semblance of balance in the dark, and meets the crinkle of a parchment.

Shrrk!

First, he curses, a thin papercut drawn across the edge of his finger. Then, he looks up, and snatches the piece from the wall. Though half-blind, he undertood all too well the message the piece suggested. 

He shoved the paper into his pocket before carrying along.

[satin 7600]

This again..

Thrush picks up the letter, inspecting it with interest. There seems to be something to this group.. they are far too persistent to be a normal cult.

[Iudaes 1095]

Great post! Glad to see some religious tension still going on.

 

"It's those who fail to recognize the true nature of God, that will fail to be witness to His deliverance." mused the elderly Friar Ernst. "God has offered more than we could hope in His Word. Foretold of destined deliverance in Auspice and laid out the path which we must follow if we are to reach it." Ernst handed back the piece of parchment to the cleric who had handed it to him, his frail digits wrapping firmly around the armrest to his chair thereafter.

 

Finally, Friar Ernst concluded, "Faith is not just belief. It is action too. This fellow sees himself as the princess, and God as the Knight in shining armor that will sweep him off his feet and deliver him to safety. And yet, God has laid bare virtue. He has told us of iniquity. He will not simply rid the world of the kinslayers. We know kinslaying is wrong from the example of Exalted Owyn. Go remove the kinslayers in the name of God! We know the slaughter of innocents is wrong too. Pray for the souls of the innocents and punish the murderers!" He scoffed some, before continuing.

 

"Quite frankly, while I pray for whoever this is, it is He who needs God, not God who needs him. I worry not for the state of the faith with his presence or in his absence, for God needs men of action. Men who do not just expect good to be done but do good themselves. Men who do not just pray for a better world but make the world better through His Word. The Lord has given us the tools. The Lord intervenes when He deems necessary. But it is we who have been entrusted with the Scrolls, so that we may better shepherd His world to that foretold deliverance in His name. It is what must be done, as God has commanded."

 

"I pray for their soul."
