balmung Halonic Vigil of Martyrs (6/6)

[Herseur D'Sauveur]

"Loyal children of Halone, faithful sons and daughters of The Holy See, we are obligated to honor those that have died in holy war against the Dravanian scourge. The secularists of our good home, however, have done all that they can to spit upon the graves of those that gave everything so that we may keep the spirit and people of Ishgard strong and pure. The godless walk among us, sinners are invited to dine with the clean, and those of unholy heart are forgiven by a priesthood that has forgotten whom they serve. The spirits of our forefathers wail out, lamenting with not a single soul to hear them. I, Father Lacordaire of the True Orthodox Church of Ishgard, wish to ease their sorrow for just a single moment. If even a single good man or woman still exists within The See's gates, they must meet me in The Hoplon with a covered face and candle in hand to honor our dearly departed. If the reformists of the church have not the heart to uphold the virtues of our society, we must rise up to the occasion and do our duties twofold."

OOC info: As continuation of the story of a schism brewing in Ishgard, all are welcome to attend a solemn liturgy held to honor all Ishgardians that died to the Dravanian Horde. Out of respect for those whose bodies could never be identified or found, all attendees are asked to cover their faces and refrain from speaking outside of personal and communal prayer.

 

The vigil will take place on Tuesday, June 6th, at 6 EST in The Hoplon of Ishgard's Pillars. I apologize for the short notice, but much has been planned to happen for this story line in a short time, and those who come along can expect the repercussions of this event to continue to unfold for the rest of the week. Thank you all, and may Halone guide us to the true path!

I'll come in a new glamor.

So tempted to bring my Minister of Parliament. 

Probably a VERY BAD IDEA given the storyline, though.

I won't even bring my axe. You have nothing to worry about.

The day of remembrance is here, my brothers and sisters, so let us gather soon. May Halone and all within her holy halls smile upon our prostration!
