While the Druid Haidion and myself were sitting in the Orphanage,
discussing the medicinal value of psychotropic agents, a very young
monk named Ruad came in to enroll several lost waifs he encountered.
Imagine all of our surprise, when the Templar Odysseus came raging
into the Orphanage with foam-flecked lips and eldritch sword blazing
and immediately set to the cold blooded murder of poor Ruad.

Now, I know the Templars hate the Occultists with a passion and look
upon all our works with that same hatred. Everyone has seen how Gawain
attempts again and again to discredit the Orphanage. But to set his
Templars to murder those who enroll the children is extremely ruthless
and cruel.

With Gawain's attempt on the life of Buckthorn and this latest event
of killing those who enroll children, I think it is painfully clear
that the Templars are attempting to take control of our lives through
brutal military means. We must stop this madness.
