"Da Goat vs The Serpent" War of the Priests - RedSpan 5th March, 2007 |
It has begun. After the dust has settled from the Darka-RedSpan war, RedSpan earnestly rushed into rebuilding both its infrastructure, and mobile military force. However, while this was pretty obvious to most of the world... a second form of construction has been going on.
Elinda has always been hard at work for the way, along with the other Elder Members of Da Way, the state religion of RedSpan. Her work tends to stay hidden from the public eye, and it is a thankless task, but nevertheless, she has done a wonderful job. But it was with the induction of Mossimo Kimura into Da Way's priesthood that the "revival" really got going. Following Mossimo's induction, at least one, possible two, other nobles dedicated themselves to the priesthood, and with great fervor, the young priests headed out to aid their elders in spreading their word. But this has not been an easy task. Members of Magna Serpaensism, the official relgion of the Ash Sea Islands, had laid down deep roots in the border regions of RedSpan. The young priests have been attacked by enraged Magna Serpaensism followers on several occasions, with Mossimo claiming the most actual injuries incurred during these events. While the soldiers of RedSpan wage a physical war in former RedSpan controlled Rogeshore, in an effort to restore Da Great Highway, RedSpanner priests are waging a war of a spiritual variety. Will this turn into a no-holds barred holy war? Will RedSpan be content to simply restore their faith, and their highway? Or will the Ash Sea Islands retaliate? Only time (and a lot of broken bones) will tell who the true victors of this war really are. |
