What is corruption?
The act of corrupting or making putrid, or state of being corrupt or
putrid; decomposition or disorganization, in the process of
putrefaction; putrefaction; deterioration.
The act of changing, or of being changed, for the worse; departure from
what is pure, simple, or correct; as, a corruption of style; corruption
in language.
The act of corrupting or of impairing integrity, virtue, or moral
principle; the state of being corrupted or debased; loss of purity or
integrity; depravity; wickedness; impurity; bribery.
It would seem, on any definition you choose, corruption is not something
a rational thinking being would choose. Physically, it subverts
vitality, health, the overall wellbeing of the body be it living or
undead. Mentally it subverts intellect, honor, integrity, and social
interaction. Spiritually, it blackens and degrades the soul, dehumanizes
and purtrifies, robbing the joys of love, and laughter, subverting
morality.
Those then, who follow Chakrasul then, would, since 'it' is the
embodiement of corruption, would in their worship of this creature, hold
these precepts as their highest ideal.
This being the case, they would be in conflict with the views and
precepts held by most guilds of the realm with few exceptions. That
would mean they are traitors to what their respective guilds hold as
ideals, and thus, as is in most bylaws of those guilds should be
outguilded, with the loss of all privledges and honors.
It would behoove the leadership and high ranking members of all guilds
and cities, to look closely then, at those members who choose to worship
this vile thing that has come up on the realm, and look at what the
ultimate goal of corruption is. Unless you are willing to be subverted
and held as chattel to this malignant decay, then you must act against
those who would do the bidding of one who is here to rob us of that
which we hold most dear, that which all of us honor, good and evil,
light and dark, living and undead, our freedom.
In pursuit of balance and the service of Life and Hope,
