Intergalactic Summit

You fail to comprehend the scope of the Blooder corruption. A corruption that very recently took the life of an Amarr Emperor and led to one of the worst episodes of internal corruption in recent history.

Everything that the followers of Omir touch is corrupted and made worse by the contact.

If Edeity or those who have allowed him into this holy rite manage to subvert the trials by means of some dark ritual, the Trials themselves are invalid.

If the Trials are invalid, the Emperor chosen by those trials is a Usurper.

Even if he is defeated, Edeity's intention to blood the deceased in the trial is an insult to everything that is holy and a desecration of the trials should he participate in them.

There can be no tolerance when this corruption has spread so far that it is taking part in the very Succession Trials. The blooder rot must be excised.

We are well aware that the 24th has long turned a blind eye to terrible madmen and heresy. It's a widely understood fact that even those who have declared themselves an enemy of the Empire can still sign up as long as there is a corporation with enough standing and low enough moral fibre, or if they spend a few days working for Amarr agents.

The fact that you believe being enlisted in the Militia makes you 'No different from PIE' shows how mentally and spiritually unequipped you are to correct the Lieutenant, let alone 'help[s] others to understand better'. We have 12 years of history supporting Amarr

You have shown yourself to be a sycophant of little worth. Blindly leaping to the defense of Blood Raiders and their supporters. Comparing a slave (note: Lieutenant Kernher is no slave) to a Blood Raider is just another example of your incomparable ignorance of what is happening around you.

Pray that you never have to witness the crimes against God that the Blood Raiders commit.
Pray that you don't fall victim to the ritual barbarity that your ally would gladly submit you to.
Pray that your unequipped soul never faces the torment of knowing the type of people you blindly support.

There is a a lot of prattle here. Lesser minds obsessed with minutae of lesser machinations.

For the record Gaven, I am not nor have ever been a "Blood Raider", the mythical boogeyman of deepspace that drunken lawless pirates and failed pilots use as excuse in the failure of their endevours.

What I am, and have always been is a loyalist. So loyal in fact that I have applied my full faculties to my faith, and unlike others of your brethren do not suffer a myopic blindness bolstered by false hubris and arrogance to speak on behalf of the mind of That Which Is True.

The only heresy here is yours. You claim ascendency in station over your betters, over the very institutions which you simultaneously cling to for legitimacy of your delusions and then not only deride but actively subvert their decisions.

I am a champion of Amarr. I am bound only by Khanid mandate. Proclamations of heresy and disloyalty by your circle of friends hold no legitimacy here. To deny this is to deny legitimacy of the court, legitimacy of the very foundations of the faith which you serve. Correctly, there is no separation between spirit and action. They are one. Your actions speak loudly of grave sin. Lets see if your actions can back them up.

I question you, are you a "savant" the supposed super beings that shall lead us to salvation that this convenient fiction of a great conspiracy says have the only authority to take what is their due? I think not. What say you? Are you indeed a greater judge of fitness of service and loyalty? We know that truth is bigger than a man can comprehend. Are you greater than a man?

Take off your hat of foil, oh noble knight of Amarr. You do great disservice to yourself and your followers. I have no interest here but the rightful promotion through selection on field of battle of one who stands for all of the Amarrian faith. For myself, I find our Lord Garkeh both the most orthodox and most progressive of heirs. He is the hope and the future of our faith. He embraces the fullness of our past, not the limited reducted version spoonfed by your petty lickspittle of a tool politic known as the Theology Council. He stands for not just those of pure Amarrian birth, but all who believe. He is a true and rightful heir. To speak otherwise is declare onself heretic.

The decision has been made. Your decision, your stance on this matter opens a great many questions however.

Stand with me brother, a night of such darkness is coming - do not fall back on old and petty ways. Your arrogance and false entitlement are a thing of another era. Amarr must find strength in its past yet recognise its future is eternally new.

Pax Amarr my brother. May we find common ground in the fight against heresy and evil, WHATEVER form it may take.

If it prances around in a bloody robe like a blood raider, sacrifices its victims in immoral rites like a blood raider, and calls Omir's unholy name like a Blood Raider. Then, by Junip, I think it probably qualifies as a blood raider.

"There will be neither compassion nor mercy;
Nor peace, nor solace
For those who bear witness to these Signs
And still do not believe."
- The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 25:10

On the contrary my vitriol has been entirely absent and as Khanid's best I'll be taking care of the problem on the battlefield, if Lord Khanid wishes to see the death of a heretic I have no problem with providing that service.

And lesser beings should know their place. Fortunately this shall all be resolved in time. Have faith sister.

One can admire, even have a loyalty to the spirit of a religious movement without being a member of it. There is much to admire about people, brought together under the most trying and desperate of circumstances, a people from all races and places - to pursue a common religious goal. This is indeed my dream, as it is the dream of all true believers in the faith of Amarr.

The only actual point of religious contention is my upholding the validity of the full texts of Amarr as sacred, as defended by Saint Tetrimon. Khanid is where the followerrs of this full orthodoxy, the only and last of the True Amarrians were granted sanctuary. The debate over suitability resides in this. Claims of Blood Raider this or that are unsubstantiated, all capsuleer pilots deal with the corpses of vanquished foes at one point or another, I am no different.

It is sad to see such low serving and desperate misuse of claimed piety to effect a political outcome. I am ashamed to have flown in company of many of those who reduce themselves so far.

No Theology Council huh? Guess no one coming to shut PIE up means the Theology Council officially endorses taking a metaphorical **** on the Khanid, the same Khanid who were already stated to be rightfully allowed to participate as heir. Except now they're not really welcome... But kind of are. The Council should make up it's mind.

Faithful of Amarr,

I am disturbed by the contents of this discussion, a discussion that has veered into grave error on several occasions. I have also received numerous petitions on the matter of the selection of candidate champions by the Royal Heirs and it is clear that I must speak on the matter.

Be it known that this communication represents the settled will of the Imperial Succession Committee after due consideration of all facts and particulars placed before it by candidate champions, representatives of the Royal Heirs, the Ministry of Internal Order and the Order of St. Tetrimon.

In choosing to make this a trial of capsuleer champions, as was stated by my Lord Pomik Haromi, the prowess of defenders of Holy Amarr was very much in mind. True, it is, that faithfulness and piety must also be accorded due regard but loyalty and the faith that is kindled by martial excellence is critical to these trials.

The Royal Heirs are accorded considerable latitude by the Imperial Succession Committee in their selection of candidate champions. The Ministry of Internal Order has satisfied itself that the candidates confirmed by the Houses have sound records of strong loyalty or martial friendship to Holy Amarr. In addition, many are great fighters against rebel incursions or heretical pirates, anarchists and cultists.

All complaints laid thus far have been found without merit on examination.

But that is not all. The most disturbing aspect of these discussions has been the questioning of the Imperial Succession by capsuleer pilots otherwise held long loyal to Holy Amarr. This questioning of the rightful order of Holy Amarr is iniquitous against a background where the Empire is threatened by foes old and new. This querulous faithlessness must cease.

One further matter, the Order of St. Tetrimon has declared that interference with the remains of righteous participants in the Trials of the Champions, whether they be of champions, retainers or faithful crews, will be grounds for sanction and may imperil the standing of Champions in the Trials. In this we are in perfect accord with the Order of St. Tetrimon.
