The Extinguishing of a Brother's Flame | Inquisitorial Notice

[Salium 117]

Loss of a brother, in both faith, and blood.

 

  

✛THE HOLY INQUISITION✛

UT UNUS IN FIDE

AS ONE IN FAITH

 

With a heart heavy as the stone walls of the basilica I write this in, I, Ser Knight Inquisitor Galadin, do hereby proclaim the extinguishment of a brother's flame. Let it be known throughout the realms that I, with a sorrowful heart, must enact the decree of excommunication upon my own kin, Gavre Gaunt, severing all his ties to the sacred institution of the Churches’ Holy Inquisition, henceforth and forevermore.

 

The mantle of an Inquisitor bears a heavy weight and demands a demeanor befitting of our divine LORD's laws. Alas, my very own flesh and blood hath defiled said sacred union.

 

-

 

By drawing his weapon upon the revered Patriarch of the grand Kingdom of Haense, Aleksandr the Second, Gavre Gaunt has dared to trespass upon the very precedent of safety and justice that the Inquisition ardently seeks to uphold throughout the lands.

 

In a moment of lamentation, I uncovered these blasphemous acts. And as one of the few commanders of our Holy Inquisition, no justification can be found for such transgressions other than absolute banishment from our esteemed ranks.

 

Furthermore, preceding the aforementioned acts, an incident unfolded within the realm of Balian. Gavre Gaunt dared to interrupt a rightful persecution sanctioned by the King, pitifully turning a blind eye to their orders and offering assistance to a vagrant soul.

 

These grievous offenses, when culminated, have left me with no choice but to pass judgment upon Gavre Gaunt in the following manner—a bounty to be bestowed upon the first valiant soul who returns his officially issued 'Inquisitorial Saber,' for he is no longer deemed worthy to wield such a blade. As for his crimes, they are no longer within the purview of the Inquisition to address and dutifully have been passed on to those whom he hath wronged.

 

Let this missive echo through the annals of history as a solemn reminder of the unyielding commitment we, the defenders of the faith, must maintain in our tireless pursuit of justice and righteousness. May the divine light guide us all in these turbulent times.

 

 

IN DEI NOMINE, HOC DECRETUM SIT IMMUTABILE.

IN THE NAME OF GOD, MAY THIS DECREE STAND IMMUTABLE.

 

Lay beneath the missive, attached is a sketch and price; 

 

 

"50 mina, for the confiscations and submission of Gavre's Inquisitorial Issued Saber."

Upon reading the declaration, the exiled elf stuck the sword in question into the hardwood floor, drawing out a piece of parchment and penning it directly to his kin, "You know where to find me, I'll be waiting for you to come and take it yourself." He wrote simply, sending the message off before going to polish his weapons.

[!] The venerable Knight simply sighed as he gazed across the missive's contents. His apprentice had gone awry, and was now running athwart of the whole of Canondom.

 

"Gavre has gone too far. Whether he deserves the continued use of the blessing is an open question. Much to consider."

 

Phil then set the missive down and wrote a few letters of his own.
