Like all things in your narrow view of our faith, I see a lot of talk and no action. Just like PIE. ....prattle..prattle....prattle.....


I also see a lot of prattle from the so called followers of the true faith. People like yourself always give the big talk but when it comes to the actual fighting you always seem to be crushed rather quickly and then scurry away like cockroaches. Where is your faith then?


Yeah I don't think I can recall being accused of running from a fight. So this is a first.

And yet some of them are accepted to fight as Champions in the succession trials. Our faith is more diverse and rich than your pedants view of theological matters can comprehend.



All this demonstrates is that the corruption of the blood raiders runs deeper than we would have thought a year ago.

As for the Praetoria not acting against you, well, you might ask yourself what you have done to deserve a higher place on our priority list than the Republic? I see a lot of blasphemous talk from you, and will respond accordingly to your drivel, but your actions mostly hurt the enemies of Amarr. If two of our enemies are killing each other, there is no reason to get involved.

The only time you have represented a true threat was when you were allowed into the succession trials. Fortunately, the sanctity of rite was not compromised, as demonstrated by your swift exit from the competition.

Are you evil? Yes.
Are you going to pay for your sins? Yes.
Will our going out of our way to shoot you now speed this up? Sadly, no.

Now, if you ever leave the militia, we will gladly shoot you every time we see you.



I do find it interesting that with the recent resurgence in activity amongst my brethren, many have taken it upon themselves to both wear the fashions and also fly the ships of some of the cultural and martial traditions of the Mul-Zatah monks.

What you always fail to see is that it is not ships but ideas that are the true threat. But for the pinnacle of reactionary Amarrian self indulgence you give hope that the impossible is not perhaps so hard to achieve.

That is a rather interesting statement. It suggests that you do not understand me at all.

Please clarify what is meant here.


They call it the "Pendulum Wars", because one time, one militia is winning, and then it swings, and a different militia is winning. Then it swings back. Back and forth, back and forth. Like a pendulum.

On the traditions of acceptance into a monastery:

Caput 58: De disciplina suscipiendorum fratrum

Noviter veniens quis ad conversationem, non ei facilis tribuatur ingressus, sed sicut ait Apostolus: Probate spiritus si ex Deo sunt. Ergo si veniens perseveraverit pulsans et inlatas sibi iniurias et difficultatem ingressus post quattuor aut quinque dies visus fuerit patienter portare et persistere petitioni suæ, annuatur ei ingressus et sit in cella hospitum paucis diebus.


"When anyone is newly come for the reformation of her life,
let her not be granted an easy entrance;
but, as the Apostle says,
"Test the spirits to see whether they are from God."
If the newcomer, therefore, perseveres in her knocking,
and if it is seen after four or five days
that she bears patiently the harsh treatment offered her
and the difficulty of admission,
and that she persists in her petition,
then let entrance be granted her,
and let her stay in the guest house for a few days."

I never said that you and your ilk run from a fight just the fact that you don't win. The empire always has and will crush you because you are following a path of damnation.

I do admire and wish to encourage your enthusiasm!

Now in no way do I wish to condescend to you based on our differences in religious education. The reality is we share the same one and true faith. The differences you perceive that so offend you are differences of politics. Our faith is much older and deeper than many of the new institutions you cling to for legitimacy when you proclaim blasphemous judgement against what are orthodox practices from the depth of traditions we share. It is not your fault. You are manipulated by politics, not intentionally in error in fath.

The practices around upholding respect for the holders, the great houses and the Empress themself are modern interpretations of the ancient aspiration for support for the emergence of savants. Respect for bloodlines, racial purity and the rights for trial by combat are all from the same root faith that pushes those of the covenant to seek knowledge and celebrate with blood. It is the same faith, this is the faith of Amarr. This is historical and theological fact.

The challenge for you is to reconcile the fact of the exclusion of holy books from the "Amarr" cannon by an organisation that does not have the authority to do so. Khanid Kingdom is not bound to the political machinations of the Theology Council, The Order of St. Tetrimon exiled themselves from the Theology Councils reach because of their over zealous interpretations which had nothing to do with our actual faith. This is the same order who presided over the Succession Trials to give them religious legitimacy. It should send a worrying message when the most legitimate believers must run from your religious police.

The heretic and damned is not the one you think.

Except you don't, do you?

How long has the Empire been fighting against the Sani Sabik? In all that time have they ever been able to eradicate them? No. I've killed probably millions of them over the last forty years and look. Look at them all. The Empire has not crushed anyone since the Udorians and that was as much assimilation as anything. Yes, they had a good turn at the Matari, but that ultimately failed. The Empire failed against the Jovians, they turned from the Federation, they bowed to CONCORD, they failed against Sansha, they failed to protect their own Empress from the Drifters.

What does that tell you about the Will of God?

Maybe the Empire has been doing a few things wrong?

Even more, that's how CONCORD and the Empires designed it to work. The wars are literally unwinnable. The winning government won't let their people win.

They're crushing the SKIN market... seriously, like 75% of all SKINs are for Amarr ships.
