Message: <blockquote data-quote="I'm A Banana" data-source="post: 3201871" data-attributes="member: 2067">Who says they even acknowledge the LE sects?"Yes, the doctrine of the heretics who craft with bone and unholy soul is a popular one, but they are mislead, following earthly trappings instead of the divine will of the Lady. They are abusing her powers, using loopholes in the laws to accomplish vile things, and my brethren and I in the Order of the Just Ruby work every day to curtail their behaviour and amend the law to fight them. Certainly, many mock our schisms, claiming minor points of doctrine leads otherwise rational human beings to kill each other, but those who mock these difficulties take a narrow view. The battle is one of Good vs. Evil, of Truth vs. Manipulation, and it is one I will never stop fighting. You can be assured that none, to my knowledge, none in the temple in Berilyla here walk that dark path that those in foreign lands do. Most pursue the Law and the Authority dispassionately. But there is a strong contingent that feels a higher standard of justice and nobility can be maintained, and we make sure that here in Berilyla, the Church of Wee Jas remains untainted.It is a constant battle. You may be surprised to hear how many wicked necromancers we must turn away. They all have the opportunity to accept our word, but few do, too enamored of their power to see justice. They seem to think that just because we wear the black-and-red, that we should be beholden to them. But the truth is that there are many divergent opinions on how to best arbitrate the souls of the dead, and we are not beholden to the Grand Temple in Ordalia like so many other villages are. Thankfully, with great study, the High Priest has come to agree with our interpretation of Jasian law, and is even now hoping to persuade the Grand Temple to issue an edict to their own holdings something like ours. As it sits today, however, we merely have some extra rules that must be obeyed. They are the true rules of Wee Jas, accounted for by great scholars, and they are of compassion and kindness, not twisted dark necromancy.</blockquote>
