Tikba (prime)/None Are Blameless

Another document is pinned up on Moot Hall with a single black thorn.

In this month, nine years ago, Chaston Griffin was named Prelate of Talador.

None would deny that Chaston Griffin was a devoted man. Truly, he was famed for his faith in Koar and his service to the King of the Gods.

But Chaston Griffin forgot the truth, which we have all long known, that there is not one arkati, but many arkati, each with their own truths to tell, each with their own garden to tend.

In his pride he sought to break divine law and forbid the worship of the arkati he did not favor.

We all know the price of that pride.

Today we must honor those who paid that price. We must together say that all of us must be free to worship as we wish; each to their own arkati, each to their own conscience, each to their own garden.

No lord who seeks to forbid or discourage the worship of any arkati can rule justly. Talador is the shadow cast behind any such ruler. Each of us must remember that shadow, and stand together against those who wish to claim judgement over the arkati, and over all of us.

The bottom of the document is fastened to the door with a dusky verlok feather.

(OOC note that this is an IC document making a normative argument.)
