Tanos Family/Benedictus/RP/Ubent Dedication

Roleplay from Benedictus

Benedictus Tanos, Grand Cleric Vicarius of the Church of Humanity, approached the dedication stone slowly, a golden staff in one hand and a basin in the other. His cloth-of-silver robes barely swayed as he walked, though they reflected the sun's light beautifully. The middle-aged Cleric nodded respectfully to the Duke of Castle Ubent and turned to address the assembled crowd, the vast majority of whom were followers of Holy Church. Handing the basin to a nearby monk clad in soft brown robes, he raised his hands and spoke aloud. "Praise to the Divine, who has graced us with another day. In the name of His Holiness, Arch Cleric Jor, I greet you all and have the honor of blessing this wall and all of Castle Ubent." He turned to the monk and nodded, dipping a finger from his free hand into the sacramental oils contained therein. The Cleric faced the wall and made the sign of the Light against the carved dedication plaque. "Venerable Balkeese, guide our shields." "Sancte Balkeese defende nos." The crowd replied. "Venerable Balkeese, protect our homes." "Sancte Balkeese defende nos." "Venerable Balkeese, beseech the Divine to grant our prayers." "Sancte Balkeese defende nos." "Venerable Balkeese, give the Divine our praise and defend us against the Darkness." "Sancte Balkeese defende nos." He made the mark of the Light on himself. "Sancte Balkeese defende nos. Amen." Benedictus turned once more to face the crowd. "In the name of the Divine, I dedicate this wall, this bastion of humanity, in the honor of Saint Balkeese. I will approach His Holiness and recommend that she be named the Patron Saint of the Kingdom of Perdan." His once more he made the mark of the Light, this time over the crowd. "In the Divine's name, I bless you. In the Divine's name, I offer the love of Holy Church. Go now, spread the word of the Divine and offer praise unto Her." He smiled. "May the Divine's Holy Light guide your path.
