-by Helm Altenahr, A humble servant of Sanguis Astroism

I, Helm Altenahr, On the date 30/01/2019, did raise this point in the SA Forum before all Full members, that the Treatise titled Tenants of Astroist Warfare written some time previously by Light Turin Erickson, was a compromised and partisan document altered by him to favor his allies the realm of Sol by forbidding SA knights to loot Sol's lands while allowing Sol to starve their own peasants. Clearly a biased document.

Moreover I stated to the whole of SA forum that the treatise had never been formally accepted and ratified by the SA Elder Council and so it was just Turin's opinion, not canon, it was non binding, and had no legal force whatsoever. SA knights were perfectly free to ignore this treatise if they so wished.

Light Turin himself acknowledged that the Teatise had never been ratified by the SA Elder Council, and I include his, arrogantly worded, statement below as proof of this fact. Knights are free to ignore the Tenets if they so wish.

Letter from Turin Erickson (2 hours ago) Message sent to all full members of Sanguis Astroism (32 recipients)

Helm,

My tenants are filed under the heading "Writings of others" in the temple archives. The preamble makes it clear they are a proposal and nothing more. Only an idiot would think they were actual settled law, which explains your confusion.

If you want to create a new document to place among the "Writings of other" entitled something to the effect of "Helm points out the painfully obvious fact that the tenants are not settled law" feel free. But if you add one drop of ink to a single page of parchment to my treaties I will pursue vandalism charges.
