Greetings everyone,

As you all are already aware, I do not post much if at all on public
boards, but anyway this doesn't matter so I will get to the point, the
Church. Keep in mind that a lot that I am about to say has already been
said, but if you think about it, when different individuals say the
exact same thing about something, there is clearly something wrong with
that organization.... what could it be?..

The Church this-Church that, we are this-we are that, this is all that
the recent posts are about, but very few really look at the bigger
picture. Yes, Church is an ambitious bunch of bastards, but, not every
Church member is like that, there are few who actually think, but
unfortunately those few submit to the Church's will because they are
true to their Ideals, but Church is not. The once Holy Church has become
a corrupt organization.

I once was a member of the Holy Church in my younger age, I did learn
Church's ways but now in my eyes, the Church is nothing but an excuse
for greed and lust for power. Isn't it enough for you, the Church, to
control Shallam already? Apparently not.

Chaos, chaos, let's purge the Sapience of Chaos by creating Chaos. Yes,
that's one way to go but a wrong one at the same time. Rho, my dear, do
you not know the human Sins? Well, then, let me remind you of them:
Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride. Oh my.. Did I just
describe you? Lust for power that you have isn't healthy, you know?
Gluttony your overindulgence with desire for the control, Greed - do I
really need to tell you about this one? Sloth- a spiritual apathy that
affected the faithful by discouraging them from their religious work of
Good, that you made corruption. Wrath.. love thy neighbor no longer
true? Envy of those who were enjoying their lives and living
prosperously, and your own downfall is your own Pride. If I am wrong,
please in your own words, correct me.

Then he comes to Hashan and Ashtan and threatens their Citizen Devotion
users to quit the cities they are so much fond of else they will be
excommunicated. Why not Cyrene? They have occultists in the city,
shouldn't they be considered a threat as well? What if they will rebel?
Oh the Horror.

You have declared war on whole Sapience, but what is this war all about
really? Everyone says it is to purge chaos, but is it really? You have
taken away hunting grounds from many Hunters, trying to bend the
Sapience to the Church's will? Tell me, who are you, Rho, to tell people
where to or not to hunt and risk the enemy status with the Church,
shouldn't you worry about the Church and Shallam first? So called
innocents, Shallamese themselves were hunting them, perhaps you should
start by enemying over half of Shallam and Church itself first?

Who are you to tell people that they are allowed to hunt denizens that
are part of a Divine's Realm? Vertani are innocent? Unless I
misunderstand the history, Vertani tried to take over.. oh wait, Shallam
aided them in that task, oh how rude of me to even remember that. As
followed by many other denizens.

Burning books and destroying libraries is ok. Oh how Rightful of the all
Unholy Church it is. Oops, did I say unholy? Did I just compare you to
Blood Congregation? My bad, my apologies to Congregation for comparing
them to you; you are at a much higher level above them... much, much
higher and with more honour than the all holy Church. Going through the
history pages, not once I found an Evil, oh the irony, organization that
burnt books. The irony that the Evil wishes to preserve all records,
whether they are about Good or Evil.. Yet the Good destroys everything
that had a different view from them.

Rho, Rho, Dormant Divine Order first, followed by those who are not
connected to Church.. what's next? If you wish to deal with Orders,
perhaps you should start with Lady Lorielan's Order, unlike many Orders
that apparently you have put on the list, She aided Slith...

Rho, you have dragged whole Church into YOUR war, YOUR lust for power,
YOUR need to control, YOUR greed. Perhaps, before trying to cover it up
with your position, however you could ever obtain with your ignorance
and unorthodox actions of present, as well the past. Weren't you the one
aiding certain Mhaldorians, the Occultists, and even City enemies in the
past? Could you get any more hypocritic?

It's easier when somebody else fights your battle, isn't it? Is there a
better way of getting back at your own enemies? Using faithful church
followers. I applaud you, very clever.

Sincerely,
Kotyonok Xanatov
