Mirvam 320 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2023 The night was embroiled with a deep, sick reckoning. Creaking, rattling bones of a skeletal creature slowly wandered over to Fort Staalgrav, home to House Weiss. It would lower something at the front gate: a letter, and a bloodied, mutilated arm with two-rings upon its finger; red and green jewels. Undead crows flocked over a few churches, dropping off letters that read the following. “To the Canonist Church & House Weiss. Your worship of GOD, an evil upon the Fifthists, has left a sour taste in our mouth. In the dead of night, we captured one of your priests - to set an example for your people. We have begun torturing this priest; for now, we have only removed an arm. However, take this as a declaration of war against your kindred. If you would like to see the survival of your ‘righteous’ priest, Stanislaw, then come meet us on the battlefield. If you do not, we will brutally execute the priest and sacrifice him to achieve a higher form of being. The priest shall be fed, and kept alive, but tortured everyday - we will send a limb for each moment that is lost. It will do us no burden to rid of a heretical follower of GOD, he who which our Lord shall devour. To commemorate the priest’s virtue, he will be pinned to a crucifix. Please pin a letter outside the Haeseni Bridge in response. We shall read it as soon as possible.” Kind regards, The Red Divine, Prophet of Fifth Lord of Xion. The Son, Prophet of Fifth Lord of Xion. The Beggar, Prophet of Fifth Lord of Xion. The Red Vigil of the First Oak. OOC Notice: Spoiler This post is public to all, if you plan on responding back with a correspondence, contact me for a date and time in which you would like to roleplay freeing the priest.

creamynoteblock 2565 Share Posted August 17, 2023 In a cold cellar ridden with gore and viscera, a cloaked man toiled, stygian energies floating about as his work was carried out. "The undying army of MAN shall prevail. The LORD will feast upon the Demiurge." The man preached to an unhearing audience, wiping away drops of sweat around his cruel third-eye as he recited the red gospel. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morigung-oog 2477 Share Posted August 17, 2023 "Hold on. I though Xionists weren't supposed to attack the church of Canon." A Xionist-sympathiser was forced to doubletake at the contents of the letter, her brows furrowing in utter befuddlement. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaslaw 276 Share Posted August 17, 2023 "AH ****-" *Said the old elven guard which was STILL in his mind bound to protect the weiss even if he lost his job many years ago after he had gotten the news quickly going off to preper his equipment. In a more private setting mumbling to himself* "Well, thats what happens when Canonists and Valah do they shiet..." *Shaking his head as he remembers the child that was more then likely dead by now* "Eh, to be fair deserved but still ****." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werew0lf 12218 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Stanislaw remains hung on a crucifix, missing a singular arm that was gifted to his family. He is in pain, surrounded by numerous dirty necromancers. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethinwonderland 1140 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Verónica had been on her way to keep to get a notebook she had left. Upon arriving to the keep of Staalgrav, her eyes went wide in fear as she say her child's severed arm. She prayed it has a prank.. Only to find that it wasn't. Quickly as she got a bag to place the arm in for transport, setting back for Valdev as fast as she could. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onnensr 604 Share Posted August 17, 2023 A young soon-to-be Deacon sat in the garden of the Bastion Temple reading the missive so kindly delivered by an unfortunately odorous carrion bird, rubbing his smooth brow with confusion and alarm. He thought to himself, "𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝓀 𝒢𝑜𝒹'𝓈 𝑒𝓋𝒾𝓁.. 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓈𝑜 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓉𝓊𝓇𝑒 𝒶𝓃 𝒾𝓃𝓃𝑜𝒸𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝓂𝒶𝓃? 𝐹𝒾𝒻𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓈𝓉𝓈? 𝑀𝒶𝒹𝑒 𝓊𝓅 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝒹𝓈 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒾𝓁𝓁-𝓉𝒽𝑜𝓊𝑔𝒽𝓉-𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝒹𝑒𝓁𝓊𝓈𝒾𝑜𝓃𝓈.

He folded the parchment into a solid square, taking from his pocket a silver tin of tobacco and preparing for himself his second breakfast smoke. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameingg 603 Share Posted August 17, 2023 "The church of Canon, and monotheist faiths like it, is a bulwark against the vile cults of the Aengudaemonica. For a xionist to pursue them as an enemy, while whole states exist under aengudaemon theocracy, does nothing to aid the cause of mortal emancipation. I ask then, what is this: treason or incompetence? In any case, it does not matter. These "fifthists" are to be eliminated as threats to mortal authority." Declared an ancient machine, to noone in particular. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizzar 487 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Taps his ivory cane against the stone floor, a smirk etching itself across the frail adunian's unnaturally wrinkled features "If you need aid in the battle against the False Light, do reach out to my Coven" He exhales a breath, returning to his wretched scheming. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
