HOLY TERMINATION OF AN OCCULTIST

[Boknice275 1184]

 

The Burning of An Occultist

 

Darkspawn pride themselves on being able to infiltrate the lands of Canondom under the veil of secrecy and manipulate the societies of the holy from the shadows. Some use alchemical science to alter their appearance to deceive unsuspecting onlookers; others assume positions of power and use them to wreak havoc.  No more.

 

The season of the wicked and their subterfuge is over.

 

The Holy Inquisition recently captured an infamous poltergeist who once went by the name of Orion, now nicknamed the Harbinger of Death, a known criminal who has committed several acts of terrorism across Canondom, including the charge of murder. Orion previously had a hefty bounty on his head in Petra. Upon further questioning and interrogation of Orion from Grand Inquisitor Ser Philip the Righteous and Inquisitor Galadin, the Inquisition acquired intelligence about an enclave of Shorewalkers operating in the North. Orion led us to two very important locations, one of which is a house owned by an elven woman who is our Occultist.

 

Upon questioning of the suspect, led to us by Orion in his attempt at redemption, we encountered two things. The defensive maneuvers of a silver tongued mystic, and aggression displayed by her sister. Rejection and denial is all we received when speaking to the two, until we called upon our source: Orion. The moment the poltergeist was brought into frame and we made mention of our investigation into the Shorewalker enclave, the two began crumbling. With every word, it seemed a new story had been procured. After sufficient evidence and testimony for trial, Galadin and I had simply departed - not wishing to deal with the meanderings of the aforementioned parties. Only hours later we were surprised at the church of Karosgrad by none other than the occultist with an alternate alias. Without a second to spare, the woman pleaded guilty to her crimes, claiming that she wished for us not to pursue her sisters. It was as if we were speaking to a completely new person, considering the fact that she then revealed that she had been under guise. Her alias was used to conceal her true name changed her identity in order to go into hiding. The occultist had no other choice than to allow us to detain her after such a severe confession. 

 

She then willingly decided to leave Karosgrad and accompany us to Balian, where we engaged in further questioning. After many more hours of conversation, and more instances of the Occultist being unrepentant for her occult practices, the inquisition decided that any further delay would threaten the safety of all who reside in canonist lands. With cooperation from local authorities in Balian, we sentenced her to burn at the pyre for the crimes of heresy and practicing dark magicks in canonist lands. Many Balianites witnessed GOD’s ultimate & resolute judgment befall this witch for her misdeeds against his Creation. 

 

Behold, let it be known that the bearer of this missive stands accused of heinous crimes against the divine order. The charges brought against them include the knowing harboring of a maleficent poltergeist within the walls of their home. Furthermore, it is known that they produced a corporeal body for this spirit, through dark and unholy methods that defy all that is just and righteous. Through this body, the darkened soul committed many crimes and the blame is shared between it, and its creator. 

 

Let it be known that these crimes do not go unpunished, and that justice will be served upon all guilty parties with due haste.

 

Let this be a warning to all occultists, darkspawn, witches, warlocks, and servants of Iblees: your time is up. Your wicked altars shall shatter; your artifacts, trinkets, goblets, and iconography will become inert; your eldritch powers shall fail you at every turn. Your curses shall break and be no more. The trap you have set for the people of GOD will ensnare you in it's measure. The season of judgment has come and will be rendered upon all of you by the power of GOD, delivered by myself and other members of the Holy Inquisition. No matter who you are, how sly you are, or how powerful, evasive, and cunning, your wickedness will be exposed for all to see. May it be decreed and declared in the name of Almighty GOD. Amen.

A samurai crumbles up the missive grumbling in mild poor sportsmanship that Philip got the bounty before him. But then he cackled to himself, "Harbinger of Death kekekekekeke. Aftah being exorcized three times you truly are Orion!"

Xavier Adiler decided to read up on the latest news in the human realm, to his surprise he found bounties, and then this missive about his late father Orion Adiler "what did you get up to?" The heir of the family sighed "well regardless, I hope life will turn for the better for you Father"  - With that said, Xavier continued with his day, not aware of the unfortunate fate of his Father.

The squire and inquisitor initiate, blinks at the missive as he looked over it. Wondering as to why his help had not been recorded in the missive as well."Why was I not informed of any of this?" The burnt man frowned, a sigh escaping him as he put the missive away.
