Church of Humanity/Test/Journeys/Chadroez

A journey to faith.

By Chadro'ez Vando.

"In my younger days, I have been a Priest of Humanity. Now I have left. A disagreement with the Elder Council has led me to believe that the Church is chasing an unjust cause. I can not stand for it, it does not follow my faith. However, there is nothing that I can do, so I have chosen to leave, to where ever my journeys may lead me."

"I have arrived in a small town, named Poitiers. The people are kind, and quiet. There is not much here but peace and silence. I think I like it here."

"Apparantly, the locals here have nothing but Pagan believes. I can not communicate with them on a higher level then the weather. Their smalltalks are filled with superstition and local folklore. I decided to travel beyond. The local lord has told me that the believe of this realm, Old Rancagua, is called 'The Order of the White Tree'. I do not know if they can answer my questions... But perhaps..."

"The order has accepted me as one of their priests... Some of their believes are not common to me, actually weird, but who am I to judge such a thing?"

"After extensive preaching in the northern parts of the realm of Old Rancagua, I find myself closer to what I once called home. I am again in Poitiers, the most southern edge of this realm. I try to tell these people what faith is, but some still don't see it. I often long for home. Or what I thought was home once."

"I made a mistake leaving the Church of Humanity, and yet I haven't. If I hadn't left, I would not have learned... I wish I had someone guiding me, telling me what to do, or what went wrong. I need a teacher. I am lost, and to top it all, Poitiers is now called 'enemy territory' by those I call realmmates."

Many of the inhabitants of Poitiers have fled or are fleeing. They are losing their faith, as am I in this religion I found here. I am not strong enough to guide others. If one wishes to guide, one must believe first. I do not believe in their religion. It is uncommon and weird to me."

"I am home again. I feel it in my bones. I've wisened, but I have not paid my debts. I shall travel to where the Church of Humanity was founded to cleanse myself. Elder Maelg says I should go to Brive, where it all began..."

<p.>"I have read. I have faith again. Now I can guide others in their journey.
