VORZTROK, BETRAYER

[christman 3529]

ASTARK, VORZTROK, BETRAYER

 

There are no greater charges than those levied at the divine. 

You thirst for it.

 

HARKEN O'SONS OF XION;

Astark, the Betrayer, has abandoned Us all in her hubris.

 

She has decreed her intent of forceful ascension, a heretical decry against our very philosophy. 

An attempt to challenge the immortals through criminal means, a profanity most heinous against our ancient tenets. 

She yearns for Godhood.  

 

The path to Xion closes before her and the Old Dark opens in its stead.

 

Through doctrinal deliberation, O’ Sons of the Synod, I Barrowlord Melandrach, Gravelord, hereby REBUKE in the PERMANENT REVOCATION of the title of Barrowlord to the once-Astark, now Vorztrok, forever in shame of her malicious deeds.

 

Let it be known to all those who heed, that neither through the succession of Naurallas or the coveted tradition of Xion, might she claim to be Barrowlord or Herald, for all ages.

 

My sleep has endured far too long, and this is my penance. 

 

Azazel is Herald of Embers.

Judge Fornotos received the news, though would not emerge from the confines of their quarters for several days following the announcement. Betrayer or not, Voztrok had been the reason their eyes had been opened to the ways of Xion, and the reason she stood so high in the Synod.
