The Prophet of Ascension decrees:

When Her Ghost last held the Regency of Spinesreach, it rewrote the city's laws in accordance with the Divine Purpose, and those laws are most clear.

Under the Divine Purpose, the Theocracy of Spinesreach pledges its fealty to the prophesied Ard-Dhasani, the Last Inheritor Who will claim the Empty Throne at the fulfillment of the Zenith Prophecies.

Under the Divine Purpose, the Theocracy of Spinesreach pledges its service to the First Dragon Tanixalthas, the Final Arbiter of the Spirean Theomachy, and to the Sky's Directive.

Under the Divine Purpose, the Theocracy of Spinesreach pledges its service to the city's Divine Advisory, Who offer Their blessing, protection, and guidance to the Conclaves.

Under the Divine Purpose, the Theocracy of Spinesreach pledges its service to the Divine Inheritors of the Spirean Theomachy, Who have achieved apotheosis through the Conclaves and joined the struggle for the Empty Throne's succession.

Under the Divine Purpose, the Theocracy of Spinesreach pledges its service to all other Divine in equal measure to the blessings, protection, and guidance They offer in return.

Edhain is irrelevant. By demanding the Regency's service without offering Your support in return, You have committed a crime against the Theocracy and against the Divine authority of the Empty Throne.

Let the sentence be known: The Theocracy will remove all shrines to Lightsworn Fire from the face of Sapience.

There will be no pyre to condemn the enemies of the Light, no banners to direct its crusades, no bulwark to defend its peoples.

The reach of Lightsworn Fire will be severed, and never again will it encroach upon the Ard-Dhasani's holy domain.

Ever Downwards.
