Every few weeks, the High Priest hosts a sermon himself to contextualize recent events in the eyes of the Stars, bringing hope and clarity to those in need.
This is a portion of one such sermon...

On Righteousness
Quote:We are an afflicted people. Truly, we are. Beset on all sides by wickedness and sin, it is our holy duty under the stars to stay righteous and just. Just the other day we have more sightings of the occult, weaponized by the Syndicate. A wickedness that seeps into the air, tainting the life around it!
In times of trouble we must cease our passivity and act directly against these wicked ailments that come for our fair city, and the stars have seen it just and righteous that we are given a trial upon ourselves. A trial of our own righteousness, that we may test our ability to do genuine good in our fair city!
Death has befallen a mayor of the Sudbury district and with their passing do we all now have power again to choose our future. We have the power to pluck righteousness from a sea of corruption. The faith has scoured each candidate, sifting through Heathens, the Godless and Corrupt upon their path to rob Sudbury of their little wealth once more and found but one candidate that truly embodies the justice and wisdom that Sudbury needs;
Erick Falstrik.
Many may truly ask 'Is that not a knight'? And you are correct, young Erick is indeed a knight, and I know very keenly the turmoil the knights are perceived as. Understand that we have rooted out the best candidate in the eyes of the stars above under intense celestial scrutinization. Know that as wary as you may be of he, understand the gravity of the other candidates that I cannot endorse them in this sermon today. For only Erick passed the tests of Righteousness, only Erick passed the tests of Justice, and only Erick passed the tests of Faith.
The stars guide him and I know he will do well for Sudbury. This, the stars can promise.
