Caedis 431 Popular Post Share Posted January 24 DENUNCIATION OF THE PALADIN HERETICS A missive on the disgraceful and vile acts committed by Xan’s Cultists ISSUED ON THE 5th of Snow’s Maiden, 513 E.S. VA BIRODEO HERZENAV AG EDLERVIK, This missive serves as a public denunciation of the Paladins who claim the moral high ground, whilst condoning heresy and harm towards the innocent. A few months ago, within the city of magic, Hohkmat, my dear aunt Lady Eadywnn Godunov was paying a visit to her longtime friend, and former Mistress of the Abstract, Lady-Magister Laurissa. The two formed a solid friendship during the Lady-Magister’s time serving the Kingdom of Haense, and with my aunt going through a difficult pregnancy, she sought comfort in those close to her. It was during her visit that the Paladin Elena, now the divorced wife of Lady-Magister Laurissa, attempted to take the life of Lady Eadywnn Godunov, my aunt and a Lady of Haense. The paladin spouted false claims of darkspawn - Yet provided not a single ounce of evidence nor truth to back up those lies. She was luckily stopped by the citizens of Hohkmat and the Lady-Magister, but only time will tell what harmful effects her actions will have had upon the unborn child my aunt carries. Many in Haense know of this Paladin - Many outside of Haense know that this Paladin has falsely accused others of being the spawns of Iblees before. Even more will recall that time and time again, she has based her criteria upon looks alone and sought to take a life, without bringing forth any valid reasoning nor concern. My aunt suffers from Albinism, possessing pale hair and even paler skin, but this does not in ANY way justify her MURDER. And if this vile act alone was not enough - Merely a week ago I had been within the merchant city of Kaethul, located in Haelun’orian lands, speaking with the High Steward Lady Ar-Malna. A child had approached us, afraid and hurt, claiming that Caelians had randomly subjected her to a darkspawn test, without explaining what that was nor why she was to be grabbed from the roads and forced to shed blood. Myself and Lady Ar-Malna trekked over to the Caelian border, standing atop the bridge into their lands, and witnessed a checkpoint created by the Brutes, formed in order to test every single person who wished to enter their lands. We kindly asked that they stop - All true Canonists will know that to needlessly shed blood is a SIN, and the insult of being wrongly accused of being a Darkspawn is a heavy one. As our debate began however, two Paladins, Elena and Aeolus, rode up behind us and publicly announced their support for the acts of the Caelians. They dared to tell me my faith was wrong, and when I recited the words of our Lord Palatine, the Faithful Patriarch Josef, they had the audacity to scoff and claim Haense corrupt, faithless, and overtaken by the darkness of Iblees. That insult alone warrants the attention of the Haeseni People, for we are the Bastion of the Canonist Faith - The Ever-beating Heart of Canondom. Our King is Righteous. Our Peace is Just. Our Faith is uncorrupted. But mocking our Kingdom and Beliefs was not enough for the Paladins of Xan. They then demanded that I, Baron Anatoliy Godunov, was to be darkspawn tested. It is known that I have not always been the most public in my worship to our Lord - But to demand that I shed my blood, Haeseni blood, merely for the sake of their own curiosity? I refused. The moment I did, the Paladins drew forth their weapons and clearly stated their intent to kill me, then and there. Their horses blocked the bridge, sealing my escape, and the Caelians too began drawing weapons on me. Faced with little other choice, I allowed myself to be tested - Which proved my innocence as a mere Faithful Descendent of Godan - and was only then allowed to go free. The Paladins have thus not only attempted to take the life of my Aunt, but readied themselves to take my own life, aiding heretics in spilling my blood without any just cause nor reason. House GODUNOV thus denounces the Cultists of Xan, worshippers of an Aengul that they believe to be a GOD. I remind the people of Haense - There is only ONE GOD. We refuse any and all aid towards these bloodthirsty heretics, and implore the other Houses of Haense to do the same. Our Great Kingdom has no place for those who mock us - Threaten our lives - And still attempt to claim a moral high ground after - For is that not the exact same thing the Adrian filth attempted? Is that not the reason we now obliterate their keeps and deliver Godan’s Justice? This is our Peace. KRUSAE ZWY KONGZEM Signed, His Lordship, Anatoliy Ilya Alyovich Godunov, Baron of Verskaya. 71 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azukazi Khuzai 138 Share Posted January 24 "The godwinites are lambasted as ignorant and faithless by the lord the OWYNSSIAH in his scroll of spirit. For aenguls are but only 'big guys'. Not gods. Yet the fire of the Most High sheds light upon all darkness. That which resides as vile in our city Haensetia will come to light, and all will know plainly the fate of the Impure, and the Heretic."

DahStalker 2858 Share Posted January 24 Hillith Athna continues to wander lands far away from the central continent. Peace of mind consumed her as she continued to assist small villages and farmers with their problems of darkspawn, causing naught any problem but the few wounds that caught her in old age. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zqppy 227 Share Posted January 24 Tvl. Vlastos Protevs reads the missive and begins to laugh "How can someone so openly support the void, if I didn't know any better I'd say Canonism is all about worshipping darkspawn or something" he says as he continues to hunt Vampyres and misc. Darkspawn with his based Aurum Gladius. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jensen02 200 Share Posted January 24 Sir Stanton Stroheim's face twisted into a confused expression as he read the missive "Paladins und Pagans teaming up to root out darkspawn? vhat a strange time ve live in!" The Templar chuckled as he set the missive aside, the situation described still lingering in his mind "Und yet, I fail to see how simply testing for darkspawn could be described as 'sinful'.

Dj_McMuffin 112 Share Posted January 24 Hohkmat's Vizier of Wind shuffled a series of missives together; all collected from the recent bout of chaos. She deftly filed them away so that she might realign the debacle in an similarly orderly and swift fashion. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greehn 1854 Share Posted January 24 "I wonder why it took this long for these fools to be condemned. The X*nnites were never here to help you." Vahlok, an Azdrazi, made sure to frame this missive somewhere within Tor'Praeth. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elennanore 2776 Share Posted January 24 The High Keeper of Norland hammers a sign into the ground, just right outside the city at the beginnings of the bridge! "Darkspawn, Magi, Sunlit Mages K.O.S." - High Keeper." "Hopefully, that'll keep 'em out." She walked off to discuss with Jorvin Starbreaker as to why Paladins eat babies. @SimplySeo 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
