Cleanse the Shadows

[DancingZebra267 1626]

 

To all who are concerned, be you a guard sworn to protect your people, or a citizen faithful to GOD.

 

It is your duty, delivered unto you by the LORD Himself, to protect your fellow men from the corruption that festers in the shadows. This duty is not one you may cast aside. If you truly wish to serve your country or your Creator, then hear me well:

 

Do not make deals with the wicked. Do not reason with the damned.

 

If you spot one among you, undead, heretic, cursed child, or otherwise corrupted, it is your duty to act. They are not to be protected or studied, but cleansed. They are not our brothers. They are our test.

 

If you do not yet know how to identify a darkspawn, then seek me out. I will instruct you. But even without guidance, you have your GOD-given senses. Most undead cannot mask the stench of decay. Even if they bathe in perfume and soap, the foulness of death will cling to them like a second skin.

 

I have received reports from all corners of Canondom, that these abominations are walking freely in our cities, whispering into ears, hiding behind false names. This cannot be allowed to continue.

 

You, people of GOD, must know the signs. You must know the response.

 

Cleanse them. With blade, or with flame.

 

For if you do nothing, then you have already failed in the eyes of the LORD.
