Captain Arcturus, While I am concerned about your airing such a personal issue in such a public fashion, I will be sending you a private message as to this matter or perhaps we can discuss off the galnet at a time of your own choosing at the Basilica while you reflect upon the momentous choice before you.

Blessings be upon you.

In the name of the Empress Jamyl Sarum, Our Lady of Victory,

Lunarisse Aspenstar.

I can't help but wondering how this reached, if it did, a conclusion?

Did love prevail?
Were you able to remain or did you have to depart to far away systems?
How is your faith as a result of this experience and what have you learned?

Honoring this woman with marriage instead of holding her as an acquisition of the left hand is certainly not reprehensible.

Marry her, and be happy.

She has submitted to our religion, and understands the Scriptures, I hope? I assume that your former sponsor has already convinced her to submit to the will of Allah.

Amarr Victor, Deus Vult!

I understand his concerns.

There are still many in the Empire that do not understand that true belief is more important than mere race.

Our most valued teacher and leader, the Empress, has had to correct many of them by taking them as left hand captives, and demoting them to slavery, after they refused her lawful and righteous order to manumit many of the Matari.

Hopefully this public airing will demonstrate that we treat our charges fairly.

Amarr Victor, Deus Vult!

You should marry her. You two will come under scrutiny for sure, but if you persevere life will be good. Apart from the arrogance of a small group of people you shouldn't face any problems.

From my understanding on Amarr theology, there hasn't been anything stated by God or even an Emperor/Empress that forbade such a union or even frowned upon it. It's really your society that has the problem.

Overall, you two should be fine remaining in the Empire. If things go south though, the Federation and/or the State will accept you with open arms as there is little discrimination regarding mixed race couples in these two nations. I can't speak much for the State, but I can say the mixed marriages are quite common in the Federation. I myself am Gallente-Caldari, Gallente-Deitis to be specific.

So long as the two people getting married are both believers of the Faith then there should be no loss of face in Amarrian society.

Consider:

A) A True Amarrian marries a person of, say, Jin-Mei ethnicity who has converted to the Amarrian Faith.
B) A True Amarrian marries another True Amarrian who happens to be a Blood Raider.

I think we can all agree which of these two possibilities would be blessed by God and which would result in a spontaneous lightning strike.

I'm not sure either would prompt any sort of immediate divine retribution at all. In fact I would have expected that allowing a sovereign of the Sani Sabik to officiate a marriage, offer blessings over sanctified vodka, and join a True Amarrian with a Brutor freedom fighter (and/or pirate) in holy union would have prompted a lightning strike. Yet, here I stand.

Righteous individuals MAY have to help that lightning strike along ... heh.

She did not say Sani Sabik. She specified a Blood Raider.

As a former Dark Amarr, I understand your skittishness about possible inquisition, but her example did not include allowed sects.
