If Sartan does not like shrines, that is certainly His right.
That doesn't change our intent in erecting them, though. We
raise them in tribute to the pantheon of the Gods, which does
include Sartan.

There is something that I feel is of interest. More than the
fact that Infernals are evil and Occultists are chaotic, I
endeavor to destroy them because they do not worship all of
the Gods of Achaea, instead choosing to venerate their select
few. They are intolerant of the Church and those who do ven-
erate all of the Gods, and that is why they attack us. The
Infernals have stated that the reason they kill is for enjoy-
ment and the Occultists have stated that they kill for know-
ledge, so it can hardly be said that you kill us because we
kill you. We wouldn't kill you if you didn't kill us, to put
it simply. Thus, you will never have any right to complain
that the Church is bloodthirsty. We defend our own and those
who have not yet declared themselves as one of our own. We
thrive in a world where the current state of affairs deems
it fashionable to oppose the Church and faith and good.

We do what we need to do to survive, we don't kill out of
malice. I do admit to enjoying the surge of adrenaline I
feel when I smite the wicked, and perhaps that is as he
stated, a mortal fallibility. Nonetheless, feeling secure
in the knowledge that your path is the righteous and true
path is the best feeling in the world.

I pray that some day you will all realize this, so the
current situation shall come to a close and a new era of
faith and reverence for the Gods can begin.
