Chapter 7

Many of the Profane have fallen, as has Dhaunnar. The work of an Initiate is
never easy. As he has traveled, as he has cut the misguided, misbegotten of
mortalkind from the cord of life, he has been prompted to reflect.

The followers of Thror hold Purity as one of their tenets. They believe that
through pain, obstacles, and tribulation that the Smith may shape another
into their own likeness.

Nothing could be further from the Truth. Beating a slave until they are
obedient is of no use. Pain must be used to give them understanding, if they
have the capacity for it. It must be used to show them that their present
paths, their identities as "good" men, whether saving the world from "bad"
men, or magic, or "defilers" is of no use.

All are the same, and those who will not open their eyes, bend the knee
before Father, and stretch out their bloody hands in supplication must be cut
off.

But Dhaunnar has a new goal: as his understanding of mortalkind's common
darkness deepens, as he preaches Father's Truths to those who can hear, he
has realized that he is one of few Initiates walking Thera's face.

The Cult must be re-established. He will preach and slay with renewed vigor,
he will pray unceasingly, he will wrap the darkness about him like a second
skin. As he scours the flesh of the blind with his new gift of flame, those
who might dare to awaken will see, will hear, will step forward from their
dreaming.

Dhaunnar is now working with all his power to bring more into the Cult, that
the gates of the Temple may swing wide, and the Cult work Father's
collectively in Thera once more. He will seek Father's instruction in this
monumental task.
