Sent on the 7th of May, 2009, this message was a call to the followers of the Order of Saint Iestyn in Ordenstaat to spread the word of the faith, in order to better supplement the work Zanaras was doing there.
Faithful of Ordenstaat,
As Duke Arden knows, I will begin public preachings amongst the nobility shortly, probably within the next couple hours. But before that I want to address each and everyone of you here.
Of course, if I am the only one spreading the faith it will not be all that effective--not as effective as it could be anyways. Talk to your friends, your knights, your lieges (in a respectable manner of course), and ask them to consider the one true faith of Ordenstaat as their own. Tell them of the work that has been done by our faith to secure a future for this realm. Explain to them the reason the Order makes us strong! Let them know of our constant struggle against the forces of Chaos.
Do not base your arguments on the fact that you must be Faithful to receive a promotion; for that is not a reason for Faith. Belief in the Truth of the Order is a reason for Faith. A reason that must be discovered for oneself. Not a reason taken on to receive gifts or promotions!
We, as the Order of St. Iestyn, stand for Order. We recognize Fortitude, Prudence, Justice, and Temperance as our values. And our values are not absolutes, they are ideals. Ideals that must be attained at an individual level unique to each and every one of us. Ideals that are, in and of themselves, balances for the scales that are our lives.
We do not ask for perfection, we ask for balance, and through that we attain Order.
