A letter sent to the Faithful by the Holy Prophet in the 22nd year of Dwilight.

Faithful,

It is not often that the Church of Sanguis Astroism takes an official stance on another religion. For the most part they are small faiths, of no more significance to our own Church than the mumblings of the native Dwili when first we came here.

However, given the nature of its birth, and the challenge to our own Faith explicit in its name, it was imperative that I consider the nature of the apostate Allison Kabrinski's schism. I travelled to Candiels in Aurvandil, where I was the guest of High Sovereign Mendicant Anhangar for some time, and while there I spoke to Allison to get a better understanding of the nature of her cult. Other than mocking me, which is no offence in itself, she was unable to separate 'Orthodox Astroism' from herself, convinced that it was her I had undertaken the journey to judge.

I gave her several chances to explain the worth to the world of her cult. If she had even a single insight into the Stars that we of this Church have not, that alone would have merited its existence. However, her only defence of her sect was that it would be politically embarrassing if we were to declare a crusade against her, and fail. She has no faith.

'Orthodox Astroism' has no existence other than to be an instrument of Allison Kabrinski's profane desire for personal power, and no purpose other than to wrest influence and believers away from Sanguis Astroism.

I have rarely declared another religion to be evil. In this case, I must make such a proclamation.
