In light of the most recent posting of Whirran Mulariad, I wish to make the position of the Templar unequivocally clear:

The Templar Guild does not endorse or condone the protection of the ex-Regent, Csethiro Cereddi by any member of our martial order. Any individual who chooses to raise a blade in defense of her does so of their own volition without authority, approval, or support of the Templar Knighthood.

These actions are to be regarded as the personal decision of those involved and are not acts carried out in the name of the Templar. Those who take action in her defense will bear the responsibility and consequence for them as an individual.

The Templar Knighthood stands for the Light. We are not personal body guards for abdicators, nor are we a shield to be wielded against the consequences wrought by the actions of a heretic.

- Lord Marshal Sryaen
