It is difficult to consider Udorian ancestry blasphemous when there were already a none true-amarr family amongst royal houses named Khanid, it is also good to remember that Udorians as Khanid are both from the same planet and were reclaimed by the True-Amarr before they became a part of great Amarr Empire.

Familial ties to orders of superiority are in regards to safe housing and margins for error during peace keeping missions gone wrong.

Freed Slaves represent superiority. Doctrines in regards to keeping slaves ritualistically were discerned too enigmatic in relation to God's Will concerning them.

The time it took to turn slaves, who are local sentience within ones realm of influence; into God fearing human beings was problematic.

There were a lot of fizzles due to that.

Then I wait for the glorious day when the Empire is led by a Reclaimed Matari. Or Gallente.

I don't think my cousin exactly has "trouble" with this. Rather, I think she means to point out that the so-called "True Amarr" aren't quite as special in God's eyes as they've been lead to believe? It's rather difficult to be arrogant when you're taking orders from the help, no?

Additionally, it would indicate that maybe He is not as pleased with the so-called "moral reforms" as we've been lead to believe. Perhaps our new Udorian Empress will make some new reforms?

Indeed, I was wrong about True Amarr descent. I do have a question, about newly elected Duke Farokh Khanid and Zidarez Tol-Jikar, will their children be considered of True Amarr descent?

About the reclaiming: "never were" does not imply "exceptions", it's either never or were.

Spirits below I'd pay good money to see them try that one.

Begum etc. pp. d'Hanguest:


There is no such dogma in the Empire and has never been: If anything there has been such a doctrine, but there really is no historical evidence that there ever was such a doctrine in place. Dogma is unchanging and not open to revision, so if there ever was such a dogma, then there couldn't have been Khanid and Udorian holders and much less an Udorian royal house at all. Doctrine can be changend. You should at least get your terminology right - even if you're trying to set up a straw men here.

Yes, there are some True Amarr who hold such beliefs - and also some non-True Amarr as it is - but that's actually a deviation from the ethical standards with which the Amarr have been charged by God: The claim that biological characteristics are more important than cultural traits and ethics, invariably led to heresy if pursued further than holding it as a personal worldview.



Now, there have volumes been written about it, but they are deviations from theological consensus and really few works in comparison to those that stress ethics, righteousness and justice. Just look at the verses you ask people to confer to:

• Book I 1:4 - No notice of True Amarr whatsoever.
• Book of Reclaiming 3:19-3:21 - No referral to True Amarr either, it refers to Amarr, no racial overtones, rather allegories of rule: And special note is made that all are the same in serving, ultimately, God. Also, The Chosen happen to be Amarr in the narrative, they aren't Chosen because of their Amarr-race (cf. Book II 2:1 - They were chosen because "the people of Amarr lived righteously and in fear of God", again ethical qualities).
• Book of Reclaiming 4:45 - Clear outline of ethical demands of God towards his Chosen.
• Gheinok the First 1:32 - The Amarr are referred to as a "people", not a race or ethnicity. There is actually archeological evidence that the first settlers of Athra were multi-ethnic and that the ethnicity of "True Amarr" only formed later on on the isolation of Amarr island.
• Saint Junip 15:11 - Again, an exhortation of sacrifice and as such of righteous action rather than racial qualities.
• Second Letter of St. Junip of Aerui - Again, making clear that the status as chosen is not a given based on race, but something one has to prove oneself of as deserving, thus again a demand for righteousness.
• Prophet Anoyia 17:21 - Again, it's people of Amarr and the narrative stress is here on the activity of the Emperor, which is by definition righteous leadership and thus includes the duty to make his people righteous.
• Anoyia’s Exhortation to the Faithful - Again an admonishion to "hold yourselves high above all and constantly prove yourself worthy of Gods Love". No word implying that such is done by birth into a race, rather again the call for righteous action: "to toil all our days, In his glorious service, According to his will, Serving him always, Bearing him first in our thoughts,"

And that's exactly where it comes to you: Is your impatience to be recognized as equal to the True Amarr by those sitting on the fringe of what is valid theological consensus so great that you have to bring this up even before the new Empress is crowned? What should be of greater importance to you is how the Lord looks upon you and thus you should rather humble yourself before him and cease this show that won't impress him - and show all to well that your focus is not with Him, but common things. This truthfully isn't the Amarr way.

May you thrive and grow in God.

Well-- except that means that there were maybe individual exceptions, rather than mass-enslavement. It depends on how you parse the language, so maybe this is a translator problem.

If you say, "The Khanid were never slaves," that could mean, "No Khanid were ever enslaved," or, "The Khanid were never enslaved as a people, unlike the Udorians, Ni-Kunnis, Ealur, and Matari."

I trust the Tash-Murkons and their piety and loyalty to the Empire are not in doubt.

Shakor doesn't even do anything these days. It's all Tribal Council doing now.

I can picture you holding his breath for him. With your hands around his throat.
