Teachings

"These things are some of what I have learned in my absence. The lust for gold is the undoing of many people be it Noble or peasant. Gold is useful as a tool to make things better for your realm and for your family, but when it becomes a point of gathering gold just to hoard it then it kills the soul.

We all have things to accomplish and things to learn this lifetime. It will be filled with temptations and detours along the way but should we learn the lessons we will move on in our next life. There will be Nobles who will return as a peasant because they forgot their lessons and peasants that return as true Nobility because they learned. Wars will be fought and always will, you need to devote yourself to your realm and your family, fight the wars but always remember these very lands we stand on will be fought over by our children and theirs and theirs.

I preach devotion to your family and then to your realm for that is how it must be in the larger scheme of life. Realms come and go but the family is eternal. Therefore keep your family first and teach them the correct things in life, then you shall be rewarded in the dark days after death and before life again."


As Edward walked the streets of Krimml he listened as many people were discussing the coming conflict and whether Fontan should help their allies in their fight of retake what was taken from them. One man approached Edward and asked,

"What does your god say of this situation priest?"

Edward responded with a story

"There was once a man who had a son, when that son had grown to manhood he slapped his fathers face and took some of his land from him. At this same time a good friend and neighbor had a group of slaves rebel and asked the father for help, The Father helped his friend first and after it was settled the friend helped the father retake what had been taken from him, after which the father rejoiced and allowed his wayward son to return home."

Afterlife

  • Quantim will be a physical king in a blissful afterlife for everyone who truly chooses him as God.
  • Those who never have a fair chance to choose Quantim (stillborn, super-isolated, never encounter priest or knowledgeable believer) will be reincarnated. Those who learn and reach perfection in life will go to be with Quantim and enjoy the rewards of the afterlife. Others who have lessons to learn will reincarnate to learn these lessons.
  • Those who have a fair chance and refuse will become the soil on which the blissful tread in the afterlife.
