First, a short reply to Morpheus: If the Church is to remove the shrines,
how about you guys keeping all Chaos Entities out of this continent? They,
like shrines, are used to hurt others. Further, they are mobile, so much
more dangerous. Naturally you won't do this, as the only reason you are c
calling for the removal of shrines is because you want to disarm the
populace and rob them of any way of fighting back, while at the same time
keeping your weapons.

I throw my lot in with the Church as far as this issue goes. I am not
some blind worshipper though, for I know the occassional evils of the
Church all too well. However, I urge all of you who care about freedom
for the individual to oppose this attempted(!) reign of terror the
Kharon, and some of the Occultists, have planned.

This is not about a choice between the Kharon and the Church. I am not
FOR the Church. I am against the Empire, and have a common ally in the
Church. In the same token, I have recently allied with an Occultist
in order to slay some Kharon overlords.

No longer can we be silent, my friends and co-inhabitants of this great
land, for if we say nothing as they drag our neighbors to the slave pits,
who will stand up for us when they come at the darkest hour of night to
take us away?

We will rip down their banners, and drive them from our fair city. Our
numbers are greater, but more important, our purpose is greater. Brothers
and sisters, I say to you that there has been enough talk. Let the Hunters
become the Hunted. Let us CLEANSE this city of the foul plague of the Empire
and let's burn that god-forsaken Orphanage to the ground while we are at it.
In one bright flash of glorious, noble revolution, we will regain Ashtan for
the people. Long Live Zarathustra!!
