A Transcript of the Stellus Salis Speech:
Quote:"Myllenoris and Osrona's alliance will hold firm, As to this, the Faith has pledged its Keepers, Medics, and resources in the coming battle against Illburg. And going even further."
He'd pause for a moment allowing for the shouts of the excitable crowd to linger for a moment.
"There have been reports that traces of the Elysium coven yet still remain, and are hiding within the sandcastle they call home. As such As the Stellus of the Celestial Church, I and the High Keeper Pericles will be conducting an Inquisition of Illburg. All traces of witchcraft, Occult, or demonic activity will be found and destroyed. Along with anyone who dares practice such magic."
Anyone who knew the young Stellus would know his voice very rarely was so serious, His smile however still remained despite the linger and palpable tension.
"I will also say this to all who are here, The stars are shining upon Esshar even brighter than before. A final message to all of the Greater of Esshar, The scourge of Occultism and Witchcraft will be purged from our lands, And all who practice such magic must submit themselves before the Celestial Church and let their souls be cleansed. Otherwise...."
He'd point his hands towards the sky, The sun shone bright but they knew where he was pointing.
"Let the Roars of the Great Leonaus purge your soul clean, As we will send you to meet the stars."
Actions Being Made
By mass, a preemptive force of Keepers, Medics, Scouts, and researchers of the Celestial Clergy can be seen setting up camps around the outskirts of Myllenoris Preparing for marching orders from both the Stellus Salis and High Keeper Vitalis. Carrying the banner of the Church within their march. The symbol of the Church for all to see, a pair of golden wings in front of a starry night sky. Until the Inquisition begins they are offering aid and added protection to the people of Myllenoris the medics healing their sick and wounded with holy powers. A show of good faith for their allies.
As the seasons change a New Lion will be Crowned and The Dawn of the First Inquisition is soon to begin. Their goals are made clear. To aid Myllenoris in their Holy War to destroy any and all traces of Occultic and Witchcraft in Illburg. And to settle the unrest they’ve caused between them and Osrona with their attacks upon the Faithful.
