Intergalactic Summit

Oh please. Let's take a look at some of the other "champions."

House Ardishapur? Zealot and Venix are known NullSec pirates.

House Kor-Azor? Morgaine Mighthammer is also a NullSec operative, more interested in setting up "Free Ports" than having anything to do with the Empire. Lysus? Another pirate.

House Sarum? 3/4 pirates.

House Tash-Murkon? 3 NullSec pirates and a Matari professor.

House Kador? Really? Two Gallente, a pirate and MAX F*UCKING SINGULARITY!?!?


Seriously, get over yourselves. One blooder hired by Khanid and ratified by the Councils is no more a danger than the other criminals THAT EVERY OTHER HEIR HIRED.

The Trials are not a question of who is right, but who is left.

When I was a slave, if I said half the crap that PIE members have said in this thread, I would have had my tongue cut out.

We serve God we serve the Empire. So serve and stop acting like a bunch of Gallente. This the Trials, not an election.

Prattle.

Lord Alar Chakaid
Steward and Seneschal of House Khanid

1. The Matari professor is a pagan, and the Gallente are likely agnostics or atheists. These people have religious or a-religious beliefs of their own and it makes no sense to judge them just on their faith. They may have ulterior motives for participating, but we have no information to make that judgment or level accusations.

2. The pirates are infidels.. those who do not believe in God's Word and oppose the Empire with violence. Infidels do not exist in specific opposition to Amarr. They simply serve the (albeit mistaken) premises of their own culture. The motivations of these so-called pirates are not known, and stereotyping them is an amateur's mistake.

3. Sani Sabik, and by extension Blood Raiders are heretics. They exist in direct opposition of the Amarr Religion, and in direct opposition to God. Sani Sabik have conspired to throw the Empire into chaos at the highest of levels. Blood Raiders have specifically targeted the Amarr as recently as this week. Every Sani Sabik and every Blood Raider is an enemy of the Empire, an enemy of the Throne, and an enemy of God. By our religious law, their sentence is death.

But those who turn away from his light,
And reject his true word
Shall be struck down by his wrath
For we are his retribution incarnate
His Angels of Vengeance
--The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 4:45

4. Max Singularity is a heretic, no doubt. But he is also of partially royal blood, as per his claims which we do not dispute. His assault upon the Holy Office of Jamyl was an assault on the Amarr Faith itself, but his heresy has no lineage in the same way the Sani Sabik do. Clemency for his acts are within the purview of the Councils and not for us to discuss further.



We are not sure if your false equivalency is an honest mistake or intellectual dishonesty. If you were once a slave, then it seems like the process of your Reclaiming did not contain any lessons to educate you on the simplest of Theological distinctions. Otherwise, how is it possible that you think that pagans, atheists, and infidels are in any way similar or the same as heretics.. much less heretics who once compromised the Throne and Empire itself.


​

Lord Mokk, could you explain why this hypothetical intelligence agent would blow his cover by volunteering himself as a champion in a spectacularly public, holy Amarr ceremony?

Blind obedience to the Theology Council or the Privy Council is not a requirement of being Amarr. Our Faith is not blind. Our Faith belongs first and foremost to God, and if we feel that any entity under God.. and that includes the Theology Council.. is working against God then it is our duty to serve God above anything and anyone else. We live righteously and in the fear of God. Do you, Lord Mokk?

Our Lord visited his flock and saw that all was not good.
Blasphemy and heresy ruled the land.
The Lord punished the sinners and drowned them in their own blood.
But the people of Amarr lived righteously and in fear of God.
Thus they were saved and became God's chosen.
--The Scriptures, Book II 2:1

Del.
Here there was a text.

Perhaps, besides all the demanded claims of loyalty and required (easily farmable..) standings to the Amarr Empire, all these champions are nothing more than combat hounds thrown in a pit to decide the fate of the Throne, much like people bet on furriers.

And fickle freelance capsuleers not exactly famous for their sticking loyalties and knowing perfectly they will never be part of any official entity of any faction that they claim supporting...

In such a view, does it matter so much where their so called sympathies lie?



Are you suggesting that a freelance capsuleers probably only guilty of criminal actions towards other pod pilots that felt to write something in his public record about supporting Sarikusa, is a Blood Raider...?

Might be though, did he run missions for them?

When I was a slave, my tongue would have been cut out for even saying the name "Garkeh Khanid", because he was struck from the Book of Records for treason and heresy. Unlike you, when I was a slave, I was raised to uphold the faith. I would be whipped for staying silent against heresy, not for speaking! All citizens of the Empire are called upon to expose evil, not to allow it to thrive in our midst!

Today I am a capsuleer, and I use my tongue to say what everyone in the Empire has been thinking ever since your wicked king was allowed to step one foot into hallowed Amarr. "His Majesty" has spit on the forgiveness he was gifted.



No, you do not. You, and Mokk, and all those like you, are the servants of a fiend. We are not united in faith. You are infidels that hid your evil under the skirt of Her Imperial Majesty's mercy. But she is gone now, and now we can all see the rot you are festering.

I would suggest that this is an ill advised response given the situation.

When does this scandal your King has created rate more than "prattle"? Are you going to pretend to be surprised when your would be champion attempts to blood the contestants killed in the Holy Succession trial, as he has publicly stated he would?

Will it still be prattle then, as Khanid's chosen contestant actively brings blood raider practice into the holiest of rituals?

There is right time, place and people for such things. What you are doing right now is jumping above your station even before your betters had any say in the matter. Lord Ardishapur didn't make his official statement yet, same thing about MIO and Theology Council.
Let the right people do their work first.

Finally. Now this thread is worth a damn.

It would be prudent for a representative of the Theology Council or Ministry of Internal Order to speak to this matter before it escalates further.
