Revelation: The Book of Bloodletting, Chapter 3

A Revelation from God to Nauplius, Prophet of God


Your Sacrifice has pleased me, O Nauplius, and so receive this lost Scripture that I have revealed to you — for the liberals have made many Scriptures lost which displeased them — and make prophecy to the Empyreans, for you are to be Prophet to the Empyreans:

The Book of Bloodletting, Chapter 3


  1. The Sefrim said unto Ashura-hash, God sent me to anoint thee Emperor over Amarr — now therefore harken unto the words of God.
  2. Thus saith the God of Amarr, Now go and smite ye the people of Bhaal-Ug, and utterly destroy them, for I have given them over to destruction and no mercy is due them.
  3. And sacrifice ye one part of the people of Bhaal-Ug to me, for their blood is pleasing to me. And keep ye one part of the people of Bhaal-Ug for yourself and drink their blood, for it shall give you strength and wisdom.
  4. And Ashura-hash gathered the Amarr people together and numbered from them ten thousand footmen.
  5. And Ashura-hash and his footmen smote the people of Bhaal-Ug from Uhud until thou comest to Malgar that is against Uz.
  6. But Ashura-hash and the people felt pity toward the people of Bhaal-Ug and would not utterly destroy them and instead kept some of them as slaves to be redeemed unto God.
  7. And the Sefrim came to Ashura-hash, and the Emperor said unto them, Blessed be God, for I have performed the commandment of God and destroyed the people of Bhaal-Ug.
  8. And the Sefrim said, What meaneth then this jingling of chains in mine ears?
  9. And Ashura-hash said, The people felt pity toward those of Bhaal-Ug and instead kept some of them as slaves.
  10. And the Sefrim said, Rebellion is as the sin of heresy, and stubbornness is as blasphemy and Molok-worship. Because thou hast rejected the word of God, he hath rejected thee from being Emperor.


This is the meaning of the Scripture — God has given the Minmatar Republic over to destruction and no mercy is due them. One part of the Minmatar are to be sacrificed to God, for whom the blood of the Minmatar has a sweet taste. One part of the Minmatar is given to the Amarr — the blood of the Brutor shall give you strength, the blood of the Sebiestor shall give you intellect, and the blood of the Vherokior shall give you wisdom. Thus saith God of whom Nauplius is a Prophet. Amen. Amarr Victor.

You know, we are all of us a little psychopathic and maybe even a little insane, but you take the cake for certifiably bat-*** crazy.

Also, not sure if it is telling or not, but I think you're letting your Sabik show...

I'm glad to see you've joined the Blood Raiders. I am sure that Omir and his boys will give you a good thorough working over until you've learned to stop embarrassing yourself. Say what you will about them, but they do not suffer fools gladly!

That should rattle some porcelain, and it seems that at least one secret is out. But which one? There are so many.

Such is the Beauty of God!

By the way, Gosa, have you joined up with the Sani as well? I've been following some of your work with tangent interest. I'm not so much interested in the Sebiestor Bunny Lycanthropes personally but there is some good work in there about general bioengineering.

Tibby darling! It is true my theology does sparkle in shades of rose gold, oh luminous Orichalchum!

However, I am perhaps more occult than literal in my pursuit of Life's essence (or the Matari, for that matter), particularly compared to the New Prophet Nauplius, though I do subscribe to his belief that Amarr has become accommodating and lost its way.

Looking back through the ancient roots of our tongue, I translate "Sani Sabik" as "Brilliant Origin;" and, from that, see Redemption in forcing out the secrets of Beginning. It is a terrible sin to lose sight of what matters most out of expedience.

More to your interests!

The lycanthropic Sebiestor project, though perhaps depicted at times as purely an exercise in extravagant hedonism, represents the exertion human (or at least my) Will over Life Itself, a nudge to evolution, and perhaps not completely divergent from your own efforts with respect to Utopia. Perhaps we should have some of your magnificent tea!

Tackling the complexities raised by mutating strands of slaver hound tissue and growing them within specimens of the "lupus Sebiestor" strain of that tribe has Increased Understanding of our Brilliant Origin.

Some issues, such as ligament dislocation and spiraling bone fractures, were to be expected from dramatic increases in muscle strength. Methods for dealing with them were rapidly developed.

Some issues, such as formation of localized motor control lobes beneath vertebral plates and the loss of speech, probably should have been expected but caught me a bit off guard and it was necessary to leverage outside expertise.

Thank you, Schere sweetie, darling, for your invaluable input regarding the Broca and Wernicke zones!

Yet other issues, such as the emergence of magnetic sense processing, were completely unknown unknowns. It is my belief, now, that the Ante Civilization combined a species of carnivorous Phocidae with a canine predator - spiraling the evolution of the seal back around on itself - to engineer the slaver hound. Such is the Beauty of God! I hope to prove this out by examining, in great detail, the experiences and failures of the Takmahl civilization (known for its cybernetic and bio-engineering expertise), and thus my interest in the potential use of mobile citadel formations that can take a lot of punishment in hostile environments!

Oh, Gods and Spirits... you're still posting?

If I were the Blood Raider Covenant, I would silence Nauplius as soon as possible, lest he manage to do the impossible and make their public image even worse.

A bit like that, sweet pea... aside from the public image part, of course. Out of curiosity, are you capable of pointing at what you consider "art" and making a grunting noise to indicate approval? Not something you have done yourself, of course - I know the answer, there. But opening it up to anything.

To speak lies in God's name before God's eyes, you have either lost or discarded His Holy Light.

In the former case, salvation is still possible. In the latter, only His wrath awaits.

I will pray for your return to God's grace, that there is time yet for you to bear witness to His truth.

You know what the most depressing thing about this is?

It isn't even news. This is the same sort of "zealous follower of the Amarrian religion goes off the deep end and starts worshiping the Red God" thing we see all the time, with no nuance or interesting spin on it. We saw this with Revan Neferis, we saw this with Silas Vitalia and we saw this with a dozen other previously devout capsuleers. It's all "hurr durr blood" this and "dum de dee slaughter" that and "wibbily woo divine destiny" the other. Second verse, same as the first, always with the grandstanding and the blood and the declarations that no, really, I've totally for realsies seen the One True Path guys!

If you're going to go insane, do at least try and be original about it.

Oh, bother. Is this the bit where you get all windy and superior and racist?

Pity. I was hoping we'd skip straight to the bits where you touched my "round bottom".
