The Suffete responded that closing down the temple was not an act against the faith, that it was a lord's prerogative whether to ask for a priest to properly close down a temple, and that there was no persecution in the decommissioning of a religious site. She also stated that violence was initiated by the local faithful who blocked the attempts of Barcan bannermen that sought to destroy their place of worship. The Suffete also accused the priest of dictating commands to the Barcan lords, due to the priest's request that any further destruction of temples be administered by an elder of the faith.
