Autumn Evening - Shattered Shores

Terra Pryde

For many generations, since humanity first came to these lands to study the Bloodstars, the Theocracies of Sanguis Astroism have led the faithful of the Bloodstars.

In Crusade and in Peace, the Theocracies have protected the faithful. In times of War and Diplomacy, the Theocracies have stood tall for the faithful.

Adam has been opposed to the Theocracies since my own husband stood as Archon of Astrum. He called for the destruction of Morek and helped make it happen. He called for the destruction of Astrum, and has gone to great lengths to make it happen. He has called for the Theocracies to be replaced by better Theocracies that will be more pliable to his demands. This was all long before he was granted the position of Light, in clear violation of the Charter of Sanguis Astroism, and the Elder Council of Sanguis Astroism. This elevation has resulted in the retirement of many Elders, and the banishment or retirement of over a quarter of our membership.

And Adam's personal little Crusade has continued. When Avernus asked us for better relations, Adam's first response was to antagonize them and to call for their ruler to be declared an enemy of the faith. That led directly to the call for a full Crusade against them, a call that I opposed, and that I voted against. When nations seek an Open Hand of Peace with us, it is wrong for us to respond with the Closed Fist of War.

And when every nation on Dwilight recognized this and rejected the Crusade, Adam joined Astrum, proceeded to travel immediately to Avernus, and continued his little game of brinksmanship with them. He personally raised the people of Sanguis Astroism to attack Avernus. All while hiding behind Astrum's alliance with Avernus to keep himself safe from any attempt to stop him. Or to spoil our relations with Avernus and bring about open War. With Astrum aligned against every other nation on Dwilight who have rejected this Crusade. That would most certainly lead to either the defeat or the destruction of the last Theocracy of Astrum, as Adam has long wanted.

The Theocracy of Astrum does not tolerate attacks under flag of Truce or Alliance. We are faithful in War and in Peace. We stand in honor in times of Crusade and Diplomacy. Our word is our bond. Adam violated that word and that bond, and so I ordered his banishment from the Theocracy of Astrum. The Hand of the Auspicious of Astrum fulfilled my orders and Adam is now deprived of the protection of our name from the wages of his actions.

We are Astrum, Last Theocracy of Sanguis Astroism, and this is where we stand.

Autumn Day - Mistight

Kettle

A number of messengers that had been sent out recently with letters talking about stars are returned by brightly dressed humans who arrive on horseback, throw down a bag, then leave without a word. Inside the bag is the head of the messenger along with the letter they had carried.
