I haven't wrote about Aurelian yet, because I couldn't find the words. I will miss him greatly and do miss him greatly. I probably shouldn't miss him, but sometimes feelings cannot be helped. I almost can't believe it.

Now that the one sided truce has expired I shall be posting guards on my doors and keeping all things stashed and locked. If I might say I was all on the very reasonable side of things, most could never rock that brilliant shade of blue.

As a Godsworn priest of the Pantheon, I can assure you it is not outlawed. But clearly you don't want to hear it from me so I'll just wait until someone you feel has more credibility than the Grandmaster of the Knights of Solace says something about it. I'm already doing too many pushups today.

I don't need to bring it up to the High Lord.
High Lord Edain does not determine whether or not worship of any of the gods is forbidden or not.

Worship of the 13th is not outlawed in the Oathlands. However there is quite the side eye cast towards it by the Orthodox.

As the worship of the Thirteenth is outlawed in the Oathlands, you'd be ostracizing a lot of people if you were.

Does anyone know who wrote this last journal addressed to me or what it is about? It's not signed and doesn't have a subject.

I suppose my words do not merit a response, since you chose not to respond to them?
Still, I am sorry for your hurt feelings. But that too, is your choice. You have been given the logic behind the proclamation. If you choose not to accept it, that is on you.
I am proud of the fact that my best friend is Lady Khanne Halfshav. Not for any other reason than because she is, singularly, a sister to me in spirit. From the moment we met, there was an instant feeling that... we were connected. She has taught me much about her beliefs. And I think I have helped her see the gods a little better. Despite the differences in our beliefs, we both respect and honor the other. I do not judge her, nor she me. We do not let our faith divide us.

From: You know who
Regarding: hot buttons
I could give the serious answer, which is that many, many journals, posts, and other things that are written down and then lost in the maze of the Stacks, and while of course this has never happened with the Whites, if it does? Figure I would help whatever poor souls stumble across my ramblings. After all, how many times do we delve into the archives to find misplaced papers for investigation purposes. This is not to malign my fellow scholars, of course, they would never allow this to happen, but stranger mishaps occur in Arx every day.
I was tempted not to answer and see if it could distract from the other issues, I will admit.

Four weeks since I arrived in Arx, and things are only getting stranger. A cousin lies dead in a welter of blood; I'd not had the chance to meet him, and now I never will. I've been faced with evidence of children's tales made real, and I can only suspect that the nightmares are there along with the dreams. Perhaps being on land will prevent my childhood nightmares from coming true along with the rest.
Regardless of the recent furore over Disciples and the Faith, it's time to catch up on what I have missed. Three new deities were added while I was beyond the reach of the Faith, and I really should know more than that.

Wait, did I just see an idea that the Faith should be the one bending to accept the spirits and it would be better for that?

I thought about commenting again about the argument that has resurfaced in response to the decree of the Dominus... and I've decided that I've already said enough on this matter.
Today I visit the Temple of Jayus. It should be interesting to see what it looks like after the annual destruction.

Once more we are speaking of the decision made by the Dominus, when there are far more controversial issues we could be discussing. For example, has anyone else noticed that Lord Fredrik puts the subject and who it's from on the actual journal entry he submits rather than on the missive that is sent to the Archives???
We know who it's from Lord RedTyde! I can't believe more people aren't up in arms about this hot button issue.

Firstly, that is a misconception. Most Oathlanders acknowledge the Thirteenth as a god. Those that do not? No, I don't ostracize them for that.
Secondly, no, I do not think the Faith and shamanism need to be separate. I DO think that if you want the respect and dignity attached to the title of Disciple, you need to choose. As many have said before me, you don't need to be a Mercy to be a healer. I wasn't a Mercy when I was a healer. You don't need to be a Scholar to read and learn and share knowledge.
I'm a Godsworn. I gave up everything to be a Godsworn. My family, any future of a family, anything that might come between myself and my gods. Don't think it's unfair of me to expect others to give something up too, if they want to call themselves representatives of the Faith.
I don't care what you practice. I'll protect your caravan. I'll send silver to feed your hungry children. I'll watch your roads for brigands. Stop acting like we're persecuting you because we are picky about who we give titles to. Everyone else is. Mostly.

I see that we're again discussing the Dominus' proclamation. I remain mildly confused about the uproar. None of this should have ever been a surprise. I wouldn't promote someone who had sworn an oath of fealty to house Redrain (no offense to the Redrains) as a Voice to House Laurent. Why would the Faith want people working for them or representing them that... also fundamentally was representing something the Faith does not uphold or believe in?
