AN EVALUATION OF THE DRAGONKIN, ONCE MORE

 

PENANCE, REPENTANCE, REDEMPTION; THESE THREE TRUTHS ARE CARRIED WITH EVERY HOLY SER TO APPLY WHERE THEY COULD BE APPLIED. AND SO, I WOULD HOPE THEY CAN EQUALLY SERVE TO ALL PIOUS AND VIRTUOUS READERS OF THE HIGH PRIEST’S FLEPIR FLOCK. THUS, I DO NOT QUESTION THE HOLY PONTIFICAL LAW I ENFORCED OF HIS HOLINESS PONTIFF SIXTUS VI. BUT, EVEN THIS LAW WAS QUESTIONED IN CURIA, AND TO THIS DAY, IS QUESTIONED, UNANSWERED BY ANY SUCCESSOR. I HAVE BEEN ACCOSTED, ASSAULTED, HAD SLIGHTS THROWN AT ME, AND MY LIFE THREATENED FOR MY THESES THUS FAR. DESPITE THIS, I HAVE REBUKED MY PREVIOUS FINDINGS, AND DESPITE THIS REUBKING, I HAVE FOUND NO LOGICAL REASON TO DO SO. THE NEPHILIM ARE REDEEMABLE, AS  DUE PENANCE DECREES.

ONE HORENITE DRAGONBORN MUST BE REDEEMED TO START A HOLY LINEAGE IN DEFENCE OF THE TRIBE OF HOREN, AND IN DEFENCE OF THE FAITH OWYN SWORE US TO HOLD.

THIS IS THE TRUTH I HAVE TO COME SETTLE UPON. I BELIEVE THAT THE ILK OF THE AN-GHO ARE TAINTED BY HERESY, BY YEARS OF NEGLECT FROM THE CHURCH. THEY ARE NOT ONLY HEATHENS, AS SOME OF THEM WERE NEVER TRULY PREACHED THE WORD OF GOD THAT WE SONS OF HOREN ARE SWORN TO SPREAD, BUT HERETICS. FORMER MEN AMONG THEIR RANKS, MEN AMONG THEM NOW. I WOULD, AND HAVE INVITED THE AN-GHO FOR DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR MOST HOLY HEAD OF FAITH - AS HAVE I DONE THE INVERSE. HOWEVER, THIS DISCUSSION WILL BEAR NO FRUIT SO LONG AS THE NEPHILIM OF TOR’PRAETH CONTINUE THEIR HERETICAL WORSHIP OF THE DRAGAAR AZDROMOTH.

CONTINUATION

I have had my debates with many members of the college of Cardinals, had my word thoroughly talked with priests, and passed my own exams. I await ordination whenever his Holiness Fleeperus Primus thinks me fit to accept it. 

 

“Heed not the man who says he is holy, merely heed his acts. Should he act with two fingers crossed behind his back, he is surely a Saulican.”

 

Such wisdom was imparted to me, albeit paraphrased, as I did not transcribe the ordeal, in a mass held by Ivan Cardinal Lotharia, a most holy man who additionally hosts lessons for the pious youth in Balian. One such youth is a little Frasier, who I came to know in my tenure as Knight-Captain. Frasier is a good, Waldenian child - through blood, not like myself. He had many questions, all surrounding GOD, when he came to Owynsburg, our Judite keep, and he witnessed, if not aided in the execution of one of the Red Lich’s chief lieutenants. He cheered, then, as he was hung for his crimes. This boy is a boy of GOD. He is pious, and he is sure to go far should he continue to live with virtue. How then, should I answer this boy, when he asks of me, 

 

‘Why are the Nephilim evil?’

 

With Janus’ ilk, it was their rampant infanticide, as they consumed infants in the masses to further add to Janus’ power. With the unholy Inferi, it is simply their nature. Gaze upon them, and  you will see nothing but evil. However, how can such be said for the Nephilim? Who, in all their immortality, are most mentally mortal? They question the same truths we do, they live the same lives we do, and they die the same deaths we do, only to come anew from ash. This, though, I would say, is not death. As a Templar of the Saint Michael may bolster their own skin, or an Oscillit, so too do the Nephilim; as direct children of their father they are entitled to more of his power, they can regenerate and bolster not only their scales, but their entire being. But, alas, we must remember the Blessed Basil. The Blessed Father Basil died for preaching the dangers of the Nephilim, their corruptibility, their proneness to Sin. The Blessed Father Basil was a Cardinal of our own holy Mother  Church, slaughtered, in cold blood, by the Azdrazi.

 

But, then, should all man be shunned for the sin of Horen? For the sin of Saul? Should all man be barred from Canondom, struck down upon sight, unable to preach their own word, merely because their brother sinned? Was Joren to die too by Owyn’s Sin because Harren Sinned? I would not argue such a point, and so I do not. I believe the Nephilim, though, have been so long estranged from the Holy Light of the Creator, that they have become laymen. So far, so long, that they have forgotten the lessons they once may have learned as men. For, I remind you, the Nephilim are but that: once-men. Once-men, one may argue, though, may classify much of the Ibleesian scum that plagues all of Creation. The key difference being that the Nephilim are still men. They do still Sin, they do still err, they are still prone to the whispers of the Saulican, but they have been so long rejected the Holy Light of the Lord GOD, that they do not have the tools to fully guard all of their kin against it.

 

I remind you all man are prone to Sin. The Nephilim, as I must constantly restate, are no different. You are all your own individuals, with your own experiences, and  your own memories involving the Nephilim. Some Sons of Malin may recall Elvenesse: I was challenged by his eminence Patriarch Villorik, with the Lord-Marshal Ser Caspian Colborn, to explain its burning. And so, I shall. The Malinites of Elvenesse had sworn an oath to guard the Nephilim in their walls. And so they did, until the prince of that then city did break the oath, spilling the secrets of their residence to the legions of the Unholy. And so, to guard the virtuous, to guard his own, the Nephilim came down to raze impiety from that pinnacle of Corruption.

 

This redeemability, which I will constantly refer to, was also seen by good virtuous men of the cloth long after the Nephilim’s brandishing as Sinful by the Church, and long after the efforts of the Blessed Father Basil - I must clarify that I do not invalidate his works. The Blessed Father Basil was beatified for a reason. He was a good, pious man, who was a martyr for the faith against Corrupted Nephilim who listened to the whispers of Iblees. Now, though, the taint of Iblees is gone from Azdromoth, and thus gone from his children. Now, as I am sure the Blessed Father Basil would have agreed, the Nephilim are redeemable.

 

Thus, such is my proposal, both to the good virtuous flepirfolk of Canondom, and the father-worshipping brothers of the Nephilic Prince, the An-Gho. I would suggest, as there is no more I can do but suggest, that one, aspirant or otherwise, come forward. The An Gho, as I remind all good flepir readers, swore to uphold the Pact of Horen; the Nephilim of Tor’Praeth showed such when they rescued the good princess Edith from the unholy claws of Lumbridge. The redeemability of the Nephilim was on sight there for all to see. I was not present myself, but, I ask of you, Templar, I ask of you, crusader, I ask of you, layman: did they not fight beside you? Did they not fell the same Ibleesian foe, upon whom you raised your own sword?

 

I PROPOSE SUCH:

 

Let an acolyte of the Nephilim, or a dragonkin of Tor’Praeth, or a holy man of the cloth, put himself forward to begin a holy lineage sworn exclusively to the Pact of Horen. 

The legions of Frost, the legions of Iblees, and the Xionist scourge continue to impede on the flepir flock. We must take all precautions, and this selfless servant of the Lord GOD will forsake their eternity in the Seven Skies to protect all Man, to protect the Holy Mother Church, and to protect the sanctity of GOD.

 

With the blessing of the Prince of the Nephilim, the An Gho, and his Holiness, the High Priest Fleeperus Primus, may this selfless Horenite stand as bulwark against all that is Unholy, and usher in a Holy dragonborn after him, 

and another, after he.

 

To the Prince of the Nephilim, you urged Man to reach out and wield Dragonsblood. This is that call: accept it. To his Holiness, the High Priest Fleeperus Primus, in such trying times as the descent of the St. Raguel the Messenger to invoke Holy flame onto Aaun, a second flame, of our flock, must be lit to protect us all. We all saw, leal servants of GOD, Hanseti vagabonds raiding the innocent, slaughtering our lambs, and attempting to raze the most humble Horenite imitation of the Tabernacle, Gresne. With a HOLY DRACONIC CRUSADER, pledged to the Vicar of GOD, may this never happen again.

[SteppeNomad 1624]

*a machine priest stapled an addendum to many of these when found*

 

NEVER YE BEHOLD THY SIN OF TOLERANCE FOR THE IMPURE, FOR THE UNREPENTANT. REMEMBER FOR WHAT THEY TRULY SEEK

DENY THE LIZARDMAN AT EVERY TURN

 

[frvma 1014]

A Nephilim read and shrugged. "I was made a Canonist priest as a Nephilim." 

 

Little singe marks and embers seemingly ever-burning lined the paper.  

[kindEmperor 1466]

"My father's who's sin was redeemed in heaven, at the price of the dead accursed lion which was owed for a millennia. He mantled the beast; he took its hide and worn it as his own, like fine cloth it draped his scales and burned them away, from the consumption of that sun X*N the Arch-Dragaar returned, then evolved, so were his most valiant children redeemed in the act, from this we understood one new goal, fate. - The church fathers old and young mention the previous sins of our kin, but whom are you to judge my sins? For only the one truly LORD may know of them.

The worship of Azdromoth is a misconception, we praise our maker; that which melded our scales together like weaving a thread through a needle, that which filled our loins with a tamed flame. And even now the way you define worship is different then how we define it. Your minds are a limited vision, a blurry scope, remember it was Dragur intelligence itself, divine knowledge that birthed our species. No wonder Horen made pacts with our ancient kin, for the forefather of man admired it and wasn't stricken with proudful ignorance.

We are the Nephilim; Servants of mortalkind.
We are the Azdrazi; protector of the faithul.
No matter how we might be despised, no matter how many mortals yearn to strive against us we will meet them with our eternal love; we shall bless them, grace them with our appealing tongue.
GOD BLESS MANKIND; O' FATHER FREE THEM AT LAST.
A son of azdromoth declared to himself in his own mind, he wondered deeply then how many times should MEN fall down to excuses, how many times until we must forgive them of their own trespasses, for where were the men at the fall of cloudbreaker? And they paid the price; a price Nephilim sort to deal with themselves, yet unlike men, the dragon cares not for fame, it cares for destiny, in the winds, the clouds above, where rain trickles down their spine and cleanses them. - The adherent ended his own thoughts in a subtle humble prayer alone.

[Crevel 7557]

"An interesting thesis no doubt. Not often is there a one who would dare to step across the Church's imposed threshold of ignorance. It's a shame though that this is what being cast out to the Lodge does to a Canonist, he yearns for the Wardren and so his intentions reveal themselves to be impure. That much is clear with his suggestion." Vylandris Vuln'ibar remarks to himself from the confines of a library before moving along to one of many books he had piled up on a table beside him.
