+ | |article= Lord Picco of Old Grehk was recently appointed as the Lord of Kell and chose to establish his faith in his entrusted region sparking a religious debate within the realm and drawing much criticism. Today we ask him a few questions about his faith. | ||
+ | |||
+ | What does the Blood Cult mean to you? | ||
+ | |||
+ | <i>The Blood Cult had guided me, since before it's formal conception. when the first temple opened up, I felt a strange pull that led me to Coness, where I found the newly constructed temple, and joined. since then, many things have gone my way, so I owe the Blood Cult for the strength it has given me.</i> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Which of the Blood Cult patron Gods do you choose to worship? | ||
+ | |||
+ | <i>Based on how my life has improved since joining the faith, it would have to be Jacotl primarily, though I also hold Xerotl and Hiacaotl in high regards, and have an upmost respect for Arxanatl, especially seeing as how I was never harmed by the daimons.</i> | ||
+ | |||
+ | What form does Jacotl take and what does he stand for? | ||
+ | |||
+ | <i>Jacotl is Strength, War, and Justice, and personified in the form of a jaguar.</i> | ||
+ | |||
+ | So what do you think of nobles who claim the Blood Cult worships only daimons? | ||
+ | |||
+ | <i>Those nobles need to learn more about the blood cult, instead of putting us down because of our name. While yes, one of our gods is a Daimon, our pantheon is much deeper than that. And if the wish to judge us on only one of our many gods without actually knowing about us, then they are worse than they claim us to be.</i> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Did you consider seeking permission from the Old Grehk government before establishing the temple in Kell? | ||
+ | |||
+ | <i>My faith had been known since my appointment, and since Old Grehk prides itself on religious freedom, I did not, and still do not, consider it a big deal what religion I am in.</i> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do you think establishing the temple jeopardised the political standing of Old Grehk? | ||
+ | |||
+ | <i>Why should it? If people really despise us, then they already are trying to find some excuse. And as I said earlier, those people who persecute the faith based on its name without fully understanding it, are worse than they claim us to be.</i> | ||
+ | |||
+ | What would you say to those people that consider Blood Cult evil and want to see it destroyed? | ||
+ | |||
+ | <i>I would tell them that if they believe that without knowing anything about us, then they are no better than they claim we are. Yes, we practise our religion differently than they do, but is that really enough reason to justify killing our followers?</i> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thankyou Lord Picco for your time.}} | ||
