RASPINGS FROM A CELL

 

 

IN TIMES OF STRIFE OF MY FAITH I PRAY TO THE VENERABLE, TO THE BEATIFIED - I PRAY TO THOSE THAT PRAYED AND SAW THEIR PRAYERS COME TO LIGHT. I PRAY FOR THOSE YET TO REPENT. AS WE ALL SHOULD.

I AM REMINDED OF THE NAMESAKE OF AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE, ADRIANUS CERUSIL. I SAW HIM BATHED IN THE WATERS OF THE GROTTO OF GRAMESH IN KRETZEN, BAPTISED, AND REBORN ANEW. HE TOOK THE NAME ADRIANUS, TO REFLECT HIS PRAYER FOR SUCCESS IN HIS CAREER.

AND SO I SHALL PRAY FOR PEACE. WARS OF AGGRESSION ARE SIN, AND YET THE WAR THAT THE GOOD CANONIST PRINCE OF CAUROST WAGES ON THE HERESIARCH-THAIN HALFLING DEVIL-PRINCES IS NOT ONE OF AGGRESSION. IT IS ONE OF JUSTICE - THEY PURGE DEMONS, DARKSPAWN, IBLEESIANS, AND THE MOST SINFUL, LUST-DRIVEN CREATURES KNOWN TO AEVOS. THEY PURGE AN UNHOLY MIX OF MAN AND DWARF (OR HOWEVER HALFLINGS ARE MADE).

 

TO LAY WITH ANOTHER TRIBE IS SIN. THUS, THEIR BIRTH IS SIN. THEY SHOULD STRIVE FOR INFERTILITY, AND YET, IN SPITE OF THE LORD GOD, THEY REPRODUCE. FOR THIS, THE VIRTUOUS GALAHAD WILL STRIKE THEM DOWN.

THE GOOD MEN OF LORRAINE HAVE SEEN TO IT THAT THE CANONIST PRINCE GALAHAD IS AIDED IN THIS TASK. THOUGH GALAHAD HAS SINNED IN NOT SPREADING THE FAITH, AND PERMITTING THE HEATHEN IN HIS LAND, HE IS A CANONIST PRINCE, BUT FOREMOST, A CANONIST FATHER, PATRIARCH, ALL THE SAME. FOR THIS, A SWORD TO HIS CAUSE IS A SWORD TO A RIGHTEOUS ONE.

IN REVERENCE OF THE MEN OF LORRAINE I SHALL PRAY WITH THEIR ANCESTOR, AND THE NAMESAKE OF MY FRIEND: ADRIANUS. HADRIEN DE  SARKOZY WAS A SAVOYARD ALLY OF THE MEN OF LORRAINE. THE PATRON SAINT OF STATESMEN, HADRIEN DE SARKOZY WOULD BE THE MAN, IF THERE WERE ANY, TO LEAD GOOD CANONIST BOYS AND MEN AWAY FROM EARLY JUDGEMENT. 

A PRAYER WITH ST. ADRIAN

O’ LORD GOD, BEHOLD HOW WE HAVE SINNED. BEHOLD HOW WE MUST PRAY TO YOU FOR PEACE AND SALVATION. BEHOLD HOW WE MUST REPENT, AND LASH OURSELVES FOR EVERY SIN WE DEAL BEHOLD HOW OUR TRIBES QUARREL AND ARGUE OVER THE SINFUL FEW THAT HAVE FALLEN TO CORRUPTION. HEAR OUR PLIGHT SAINT ADRIAN, AND PRAY FOR US. PRAY FOR OUR SOULS TO BE JUDGED, AND GRANTED ETERNAL REFUGE IN THE SEVEN SKIES. JUDGE OUR CAUSE RIGHTEOUS, STEER OUR COURSE TOWARD PEACE, TOWARD ETERNAL PEACE. MAY OUR KIN ALWAYS SEEK THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS,  JUSTICE AND MERCY. MAY THE SINNER BE HUNG AT THE DECREE OF OUR JUST GAVEL. ASK THAT THE LORD GRANT THAT THE VIRTUOUS MAY BE ENABLED BY THE LORD GOD’S POWERFUL PROTECTION, SAINT ADRIAN, TO LEAD MEN WITH HONESTY AND INTEGRITY.

GUIDE US IN YOUR VIEW, LORD GOD.

 

AMEN

 

ON MURDER AND DEATH

LIFE IS THE MOST DIVINE GIFT GRANTED UNTO US BY GOD. WE ARE MADE IN HIS LIKENESS AND HOLD A RESPONSIBILITY TO LIVE AS VIRTUOUSLY AS WE CAN SO OUR SOULS MAY PASS TO THE SEVEN SKIES, SHOULD WE LIVE IN IMITATION OF THE EXALTED. WE LIVE IN IMITATION OF THE MOST HOLY OF MEN, THE MOST HOLY OF MEN, WHO, EVEN THEY, SINNED. LIFE IS SACRED, LIFE IS A GIFT. TO TAKE IT UNJUSTLY IS A REJECTION OF A GIFT GRANTED BY GOD, AND A VIOLATION OF DIVINE LAW. LIFE IS THE TEST THROUGH WHICH OUR SOULS ARE WEIGHED: OUR TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS DICTATE OUR ABILITY TO PASS INTO THE SEVEN SKIES, TO LIVE LIKE HE ABOVE.

 

THUS, IT IS NOT WITH AN EASY PEN THAT I MUST WRITE THE DEATH OF HERETICS AND HEATHENS AND ALL THE DEMONSPAWN AND SINNER AND THE LIKE. IT IS WITH CONVICTION THAT I ACT, IN EVERY ACT, IN EVERY WORD. IT IS WITH CONVICTION THAT I DECREE THE DEATH OF THE HALFLING HERESIARCH AND ALL THOSE WHO SERVE THEM TWO VIRTUOUS, WITH NO MORE AUTHORITY THAN IS VESTED IN ME BY SIMPLY BEING. I, THE PEASANT, THE MILLER’S BOY, CALL THE MEN OF LORRAINE VIRTUOUS IN THEIR FELLING OF SINFUL BEASTS.

 

EVEN IF THE WEEMAN IS NOT A SINNER IN HIMSELF, HIS DEFENSE OF THE SINNER EVEN AFTER THEIR OWN HERESIARCH’S EXPOSURE AND COLLUSION WITH THE SINNER, EVEN AFTER THEIR OWN DIPLOMAT’S OATH BREAKING, HONORLESSNESS, AND DEFAMING OF HIS HOLINESS, MAKES HIM A SINNER IN AND OF HIMSELF. HE HAS BECOME SLOTH. HE HAS BECOME SO DISILLUSIONED WITH LIFE THAT HE IGNORES THE HOLY, AND UNHOLY FACTS BEFORE HIM: THE KINGDOM HE RESIDES IN IS A KINGDOM OF SIN.

 

THUS THE ONLY VIRTUOUS ACT OF THE WEEMAN OR OTHERS IN THE SERVICE OF THE HERESIARCH-THAIN WEEMAN HIMSELF IS TO REBEL, AND TO SLAY ANY THAT THEN SERVE THIS HERESIARCH. CONSIDER THIS CALL A CALL TO ALL WEEFOLK: RISE AND REBEL. THE TRIBES OF MALIN AND KRUG ARE ONES WHO HAVE BATTLED EACH OTHER AND THEMSELVES INFINITELY MORE THAN YOUR OWN PEACEFUL FOLK. YOUR ONLY CHANCE FOR PENANCE, AND SURVIVAL IN THIS WORLD, WITHOUT PASSING ONTO THE VOID (WHERE YOU ARE ALL HEADED SHOULD YOU NOT REBEL) IS THUS TO REBEL.

 

THEREFORE, IT IS ONLY VIRTUOUS THAT THE MEN OF LORRAINE, WHILE YOU DO NOT REBEL, TAKE YOUR SINNER NEIGHBOR, TAKE YOUR SINNER WIFE, TAKE YOUR SINNER CHILD. SO LONG AS THE CHILD CAN THINK, SO LONG AS THE CHILD CAN SEE, AND SO LONG AS THE CHILD CAN HEAR WORDS OF SIN BEING CAST UPON THEIR FELLOW, AND THE CHILD DOES NOT REBEL, OR THROW STONES AT THE PASSING WEEMAN SOLDIER WHO SEEEKS TO ENFORCE THE AUTHORITY OF A HERETIC, THE CHILD TOO IS CAPABLE OF SIN. THE MAN OF LORRAINE WHO KIDNAPS, AND DOES NOT HARM THIS CHILD, THEN, IS IN HIS VIRTUOUS RIGHT TO DO SO.

 

THE VIRTUOUS MAN OF LORRAINE WHO HOLDS RANSOM THIS SINNER, THEN, AND DOES NOT KILL HIM, IS VIRTUOUS. BUT, SO TOO IS THE MAN OF LORRAINE THAT HOLDS RANSOM THIS SINNER, AND PASSES THEM TO JUDGEMENT FOR GOD. IT IS NOT US TO JUDGE THE SINNER AND WEIGH THEIR SINS TO THEIR VIRTUES, THEIR EVIL TO THEIR GOOD, BUT TO THE LORD GOD WHEN HE CHOOSES TO CAST THEM ETERNALLY INTO THE VOID OR WELCOME THEM INTO THE SKIES.

 

 

A FINAL PROCLAMATION

DEATH TO YOU, HERESIARCH. SHOULD YOU STILL LIVE BY THE TIME I VENTURE OUT OF THIS BLASTED CELL, I SHALL HUNT YOU DOWN AND CLEAVE YOUR HEAD FROM YOUR BODY UNTIL YOUR BLABBERING MOUTH DECIDES TO REPENT. 

 

YOU MUST REPENT AND SUBMIT TO THE DEMANDS OF THE CANONIST PRINCE OF CAUROST. YOU MUST REPENT AND EXPEL THE DEMONIC PURGE UPON YOUR LAND. YOU MUST REPENT AND SLAY THE IBLEESIAN THAT YOU HAVE SO SLOTHFULLY ALLOWED ENTRY INTO YOUR LAND. YOU MUST REPENT AND COME TO LEMON HILL BEFORE HIS HOLINESS TO ACCEPT YOUR HUMBLE PENANCE.

 

I RAISE FOR ONE INSTANCE, A SHIRE KNIGHT. I PLACE ON THIS ‘KNIGHT’ A BOUNTY TO ALL THOSE OUTSIDE MY CELL, AND ALL THOSE WITH A SHOVEL TO DIG UP WHAT LITTLE GOODS I BURIED:

 

LEONI

 

MAY THE SCORE OF 50 MINA GO TO WHICHEVER BLADE BANISHES THIS SCOURGE TO THE HELL FROM WHICH SHE WAS BORN.

 

HERESIARCH, THIS IS FIRST OF YOUR MANY SINS FOR WHICH YOU MUST DO PENANCE. REPENT FOR EVER HOSTING THIS UNGODLY CREATURE. CLEAVE THIS CURSED CHILD’S HEAD FROM ITS BODY, AND SALT THE SEVERED SPINE TO MAKE SURE IT NEVER RETURNS FROM THE HELLS.
