Requiem Aeternam

[Laemor]

"For those who cannot and for who have not yet..."

Members of the clergy, hear me... For those have returned with me from our expedition? And for those who have not... Understand that the situations of our lands are first and foremost... Admittedly? We cannot save the entire world, but that's fine... The lands of Esshar are our priority and only we can vanquish the evil that plagues it. Can we truly venture into the unknown and defeat being left astray... Nevertheless, each experience we make whether out in our journey or here at home. Never forget why we fight, what we fight against... The enemies are knocking onto the doors of the west and gauging their defenses. It will not be much longer before we too or even, moxtli! Faces the same fate, even should galamea defend itself... We cannot remain complacent. We shall continue to both fortify our defenses and improve against our opposition. There is no other choice now, but to fight. 
  
To those in-which we reach out to save? Shall be done for, in the moment. Focus is our main objective here. Realize the threat and its aggression of be swept beneath their march.
A rumblings coming and there is no affording defeat.

   

✸ With the second clergy meeting being held, those with both a longstanding position and performed heroic deeds as of late. From being a pillar to listen to or standing against impossible odds, for another. Not your own... Have all been promoted. The ranks of Keepers and Priest/ess continue to grow. From the looks of it? The church has amassed quite the numbers, their forces both bolstering whilst maintaining activity in the pursuit of the crusade. 
     

✸ In the recent defeat suffered at the hand of promethia, in defense of Galamea.  The Stellus now urges all members of the clergy to begin delving deeper into the lore of their magics. With the recent pilgrimage had by many members of the church? Her assumption is that they understand more than well, what she means by this. 

  

✸ All members of the clergy have been given details towards the prospect of donations being made to Radiant Wilhelm. To what purpose it would serve? Maybe the Rhyonur themselves would be the individual to reveal the big news!?
    

✸ Plenty of Gossip has been floating around the church... Here's a list of them!
- Rumor has it... The stellus is married, but to whom!? Alas, they seem rather intent on keeping their personal affairs, just that.
    
- Artificers and Runescribers could be seen as of late, coming and going from the church. There's talk of all the objects amassed across silvia's lifetime, being put towards ushering in assistance from the spirit realm. 
   
- Sight of the stellus caring for an egg, similar by nature to what creature had most recently been felled by the combined forces of the First Light and Celestial Church. Rumor has it? She plans to see it hatch and possibly? Become once a look of horror from the shimmering cities perspective... To one of hope, as it shall reside as another piece in-which the army of Osrona. Would rise.
   
- Supposedly? The stellus... She died, ever since then? She hasn't exactly been the same. Caught off-guard, absent-minded... Had this been a side-effect or was there more at play?

✸ Going forward, to assist the members of the church in arming themselves? The stellus has decided to join the crafters field of blacksmithing. In this? She also points out those as well who can also do such handy-work. Deacon Joy and Priestess Lucana.

   

✸ The war-efforts on the crusade have not yet ceased either. Although, there is no outward mention on what plans the church seek to take in ensuring the east cannot further their cause. Given the rise of demons as of late however, it would seem many of the priest/ess, are learning the arts of white magic.

✸ Speaking of! The Stellus has decided... Given the nature of time between her clergymen? She shall be teaching the art of white magic on a... PER-PERSON CASE. Each individual will be given two lessons, personally constructed to themselves. As it stems? The growth of white magi as of late, could be seen as a possible foretelling... Maybe the heavens were indeed watching over humanities finest...
