BY WHAT PRESCRIPTIONS DOES MAN DRAW BLOOD?

 

No Son of the Sons need be killed or maimed, save the wholly unrepentant and the wholly tainted. This is a truth, a veritable truth, that stands in the Lord’s Holy Word. Read these sacreds texts thus,

 

“So Harren fell before Owyn, and assented to the command of GOD, and ordered his lords of mixed blood to free their subjects. But Owyn was wroth for the death of his father. He raised the sword of GOD in vengeance, and with it he slew his own uncle. Thus the lords of mixed blood scattered into the night, and there was a great thunder. Here, the Lord spoke ‘O Owyn, Son of Godwin, Son of Horen, you spill the blood of your uncle in the tabernacle of Horen. Even as My holiest city was sacred in spite of Harren’s rejection, it is spoiled by the blood of kin. You betray man with your wrath, and once again Horen’s sons are divided.’”

(Gospel 4:43-53)

 

Whereupon Harren’s killing might have been righteous and goodly (a supposition which I shall not proclaim wholly truthful for the truth thereof is one known only fully to the Lord God), there are elements twofold which proclaim it as unrighteous: that of kinslaying, and that of unrighteous wrath, or wrath-by-vengeance. 

Whereas the particular binds and extent of kin do not extend so far as to bind that of the Wicks with those of the Harrenites, and so no argument can be made on that former breach, that of the latter is one wholly examinable in this circumstance. Let it be further proclaimed,

 

“Horen went out of his tabernacle and found that in their wrath and wickedness, the unholy had slain each other. They lay upon the ground with the body of Saul, and the whole camp was unclean.”

(Gospel 2:45-46)

 

“So I find that you seek power in wrath, but there is no power like unto GOD’s. For he is the Most Merciful, the Most Powerful, and even the thousand petty wraths of the spirits do not overcome His mercy.”

(Spirit 5:13-14)

 

“So I am the Most High, and in pursuit of My Virtue, I bid my faithful this: You shall not raise a hand in wrath, nor in envy, nor in any kind of sin.”

(Virtue 5:9)

 

So it is evident that it is not wrath itself that is sin (for to be inclined to unwise action is no sin in itself), but that false killing or act in the name of wrath is sin. Where the camp is not unclean by the mere presence of the unholy, it is made unholy in their killings of wrath. Where the Son of Krug is not rebuked for his feeling of wrath itself (for that wrath which was his imperfection is an emotion given to the Lord God also), but that the Ork makes false power by his wrath and his killing, as the killing of Horen. Where the emote of envy or wrath is not itself condemned, act (violence in the foremost) by consequence of it is condemned.

Thus is this prescription of sinful violence examined, and so the bounds of righteous killing itself must be established. Read these sacred texts,

 

“‘You stand before me in the waters of Gamesh, Owyn, Son of Godwin, Son of Horen. Your people cry out for justice and purity. Take hold of this blade, a symbol of holiness, and by it you shall cleanse mankind of sin.’”

(Gospel 4:22-24)

 

“In his grief, Owyn went into the greatest city of Edel, and reproofed the wicked for seven days, until every servant of Iblees lay dead at his feet, and he collapsed. The Lord saw the penance of Owyn, which was the death of the unrepentant. And Owyn was made again as the light of his blade, and the great city was destroyed.”

(Gospel 5:18-20)

 

Noted otherwise to these quotations are those definitions of justice and righteousness. Where Harren is named the purifier, and given that attribute of justice, justice can hence be seen as the expulsion of sin in favour of purity, as in its description unto Owyn, where justice is the cleansing of sin. The qualification, then, of Harren’s justice was righteousness. The examination thereof finds itself in the closing refrains of Virtue, where the righteous man is named as the virtuous man, for they are those who follow the Will of God. 

Thus prefaced, these quotations act as evidence for the nature of righteous judgment-by-killing. Where Owyn’s blade is given as a tool to enact justice (or else the cleansing of sin), the killing consequent of it is thus shown that killing (or else violence) is only righteous when done to cleanse and refute existing sin. This cleansing of sin finds its particularities in the second quotation, wherein the wicked are those of unrepentant nature who do so serve Iblees in their sin. It is thus that the prescriptions of righteous violence are found: it must be violence enacted upon those who act in sin and remain unrepentant thereof, and can extend so far as the direct killing of such sinners.

II

AS RELATED TO THE WICKS OF THE WICKWALD

 

With these relevant prescriptions of righteous and sinful violence established heretofore, they can be applied to that violence as enacted upon the House of Wick most-late. Let each case be considered:

 

I. FELIX WICK

This shall stand as the sole irrefutable killing of righteousness herein. Where he was proven as acting in sin by untoward magicks, and this proof hence accepted by his kin, he is evidenced as having incited sin with a lack of repent, hence being killed in righteous nature.

 

II. THE BLIND WICK

Where evidence hereupon stands as uncertain, that base consideration of mortal judgment had ought to be considered: forasmuch as the Wick had not been revealed by known tests, some untoward nature, or aid, or manner of sin may have existed. It is in this very uncertainty that the Wick’s blinding is sinful: where the sole irrefutable judge is the Lord God, who so extends that ability unto the bearer of the Laurel, who is the High Priest, who so extends that upon his High Court, such is not an ability inherent to the layman. The layman has not the Laurel, and so cannot make absolute judgment, save proof in the absolute. Where this mauling may have been righteous if due course were followed, it was not, and so remains sinful.

 

III. THE MALE WICK

The same evidence spoken of in Case II is that applicable here, and so shall go unrepeated.

 

IV. THE FEMALE WICK

Where that same application extends unto this fourth case as the prior two, it is extended thus: where the monarch has ostensibly proclaimed some supremacy of judgment and truth, the extent of the sin in unrighteous violence is revealed. No longer is it mere wrath, where ill-emote has incited some unwise killing, but it is the pride of the Godwinite, who proclaims absolute monarchical superiority over the Lord God. What judgment has the layman lord, in matters uncertain? The layman lord has naught, for he is vested with the due and duty to maintain the livelihood of his men, and has not the due of judgment as vested in the High Priest and the Priesthood of Owyn.

 

V. THE CHILD WICK

This shall stand as the sole point of absolute refute herein. Where a child of great youth cannot bear sin (for ill taintings have not yet entered their soul), and those of more advanced age are capable only of minimal sin and are otherwise redeemable (by virtue of the youth of their malleable souls), this violence stands as wholly unrighteous. To maim a child of no or little sin, is to maim for sake of wrath. The child bears great potential for repent, or else greater guidance from sin: so was the case of Godwin Alstion in his youth. That this has been refused in favour of some violence, is a grave misact.

III

FINAL REFUTE

 

So do I rebuke the acts of the Harrenite lords of the White City, as my lordly husband would have. Never have I withered nor shied from the killings of those who bear it as their due; I have seen bandits slain, and tainted men culled - for these were acts of righteous violence. I rebuke these, for they are not righteous, for they have revealed in the Harrenite government some sinful bearing of wrath and pride. 

The Wick is not unholy by his mere name nor affiliate. If it were thus, then all man would be killed; all Harrenite, all Godwinite, all Jorenite. That their kin has sinned, is some great shame - and if some individual bears a greater culpability for these crimes than has been named, then let the Lord God by his Vicar and Priesthood judge them, for any-such capacity thereof has been shown absent among those of the Harrenite Crown, and if they do so deign as to read this paltry text, then let this be known: your acts are as Harren, who was prideful and of ill-temperament. Your acts are as Owyn in his gravest day, where unrighteous wrath had become of him and penance was his due. Your acts are as sin in the highest, and I bid you find repent of them.

IN ETERNAL FAITH

Aeneth Ilia, Wife to Antonius

 

[latte 2238]

"It is imperative for the Crown of Numendil to face their injustice—not only to the Family Wick, but to our Lord GODAN," commented Georgiana Wick as she read the missive, glancing back at her de-tongued child, who was struggling to adapt to his new, cruel way of living. "The outcome of such would not only heal my family from our woes, but also those who, in the future, may fall victim to the Crown's unjust violence."

[Security_ 2287]

The admonishment finds itself before Casimir who sat beside the county Enswerp in its golden fields, the scroll brought to him by a scrawny courier rat. With a tongue still in his mouth he signed the Hussariyan, grateful he did not lose much more by the Prince's hand. His outburst within those halls still rang in his ears and pained his gouged eye, as did the words of Arathor.

 

The Wick's tears blotted, smudging the missive of the Crown Princess as all he had lost was made clear. Towards the Holy See he began.

[King_Kunuk 3022]

"All of Nuemndil-things shall scream-scream as the holy bells of the Horned-Lord ring over their city. The man-things shall die-die. Is last kind-good I do for fellow rats, yes-yes?" the newly named Eikit Wick 'the Dead Rat' snarls from the deep wounds, knawing in the squirming flesh of the courier rat he killed that foolishly went to where he laired.

[Ryanark 2738]

"Yet the Templar dare to wonder why it is, that Man turns to Iblees." Isleífur ponders.

[lemonke 6014]

Time,  the automaton of Numendil supports THE WICKS!
