RAVENMIRE PURGED BY OUR PROPHET’S KNIVES : JUSTICE HAS BEEN SERVED
REJOICE ALL CHAINED SERFS OF THE CORRUPT AENGUL CHURCH - FOR THE DAY OF YOUR LIBERATION DRAWS EVER NEARER : THE ORENID HOST - THE FAITHFUL SERVANTS OF OUR PROPHET SAUL - HAVE DESCENDED UPON YET ANOTHER WRETCHED HIVE OF EVIL AND IDOLATRY AMIDST THE RUINS OF THE GODWINITE REALM
LULLED BY A FALSE SENSE OF SAFETY - MISLED BY THEIR PUPPET MASTER’S ASSURANCES THAT THE PRESENCE OF OUR HOST WAS MERELY WALDENIAN EMBELLISHMENT - THE FATTENED LORDS OF RAVENMIRE WERE PROVEN TERRIBLY WRONG : THEY THOUGHT THEMSELVES SECURE IN MARBLE TOWERS BUILT UPON THE BONES OF INNOCENT MEN : BUT NO STONE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND THE JUDGMENT OF SAUL	THE ORENID BLACK KNIVES SLIPPED THROUGH THEIR DEFENSES UPON THE LAST PROPHET’S DAY - AND SWEPT ACROSS THE CITY IN SEARCH OF THE FAITHLESS - CHEERED ON BY THE COMMON FOLK SHACKLED IN SERVITUDE TO THE FALSE AENGUL CHURCH : THEY SOON SEIZED NUMEROUS MEMBERS OF THE SO-CALLED RAVENMIRIAN NOBILITY - THOSE IN PRINCELY GARBS BEARING THE NAME OF ROSTOVA AND HAVERLOCK
FOR THEIR MANY CRIMES - THE WORSHIP OF TREACHEROUS AENGULS AND THEIR FALSE PROPHETS - THE SACRIFICE OF HUNDREDS OF GODWINITE COMMONERS IN BLOOD RITUALS FOR THE FALSE SHEPHERD - FOR UNCLEAN REVELRIES WITH THE SONS OF MALIN LED BY THEIR ELF BISHOP - THE PUNISHMENT COULD ONLY BE DEATH
O AENGUL SLAVES : THE DAY OF YOUR RECKONING IS AT HAND : OUR BLADES YOU THOUGHT SO EXTINCT SHALL CLAIM YOUR SCALPS ON THE ROADS - IN YOUR FORTS - AND IN YOUR BEDS

Props to Ravenmire boys for taking the fight. GG

@ elf bishop Look under your bed :)

 

[Malins Welcome 1519]

The elf-bishop in question read over the screed with furrowed brow. The highly idiosyncratic term "Orenid," a personal shibboleth drawn from the fevered imaginations of Aaunish enemies of the elves' flock, was once again being used as a tool to divide Ravenmire from mother Church.

 

Such attempts were futile. The faith of his diocese, he was certain, would not be shaken by the invocation of a fictitious ghost. He will be checking under his bed - but not for "Orenids".

[Enlightenment 2295]

King Mark rose at the news of the Orenid triumph, "This is preposterous!" the great king looked to his retainer, "Fetch the Duke of Burgundy, he must defend the great realm of Aaun against the Saulites!"
