Bowie's Confession on his Prejudice Against Sanguis Astroism

Snipped out from a letter to Lord Pierre Von Genf

The Letter Bit

Letter from Bowie Ironsides

(Personal message to Pierre von Genf)

Oh no, you are mistaken, I have never been an Astromancer. And I am fully aware, and amused, that Aqulegia is unequivocally Astromancy. Yet they are at war with Xinhai, the religion's nest. That is what attracted me here. I guess I can confess that my prejudice stems from my early days as a noble, way south in Fissoa. In those days Astromancy was expanding and we Southerners heard nothing but horror stories of forced conversions and pressures on the neighbouring realms to accept Morek's religion. We were even afraid they would find their way down and put us to the torch. There is a reason your faith owns the north. They did not get that way with hand shakes and afternoon tea. You may think it is superficial anxiety, but since then to this day I have an underlying dread towards Astromancy.

He is even unable to say it properly without thinking he would somehow invoke them to destroy him...an interesting phobia this demoniac man has?
