"But the Light revealed them, as it reveals all things a"and beneath the veil of piety, ambition stirred like a serpent in the dust. They turned their back upon the holy covenant and fled into the arms of darkness, choosing pride over purity, deceit over devotion."
The Dominon has raised you - apostate - to the highest of its ranks. In you, they see strength. But what they have crowned is not power - it is cowardice garbed in ambition. It is the hollow glory of a soul who spat upon her vows and now seeks dominion over others, having failed to master yourself.
To those who follow her: the Light is not gentle to liars. Her rise is no triumph. It is the tolling of a bell, heralding what comes when the Light is cast aside.
The Light does not abandon. It is abandoned. And those who forsake it shall not walk in darkness unaware - but burn in the truth they once denied.
May the First Flame bear witness.
