[A] Enemies of Corruption Unite

*Following recent upsurge of resistance against the Church of the Holy Light and the corruption in Stormwind, a summons has been put out, letters, slipped under every doorway, into every plant pot, over every street.. Frankly its sheer littering, but the message must get out.*

Good 'eve,

You are cordially invited to attend a summit. This summit will bring together like minded people from around the .. well Kingdoms, to discuss what we are to do about the necessary changes coming to Stormwind. Are you sick of the church's corruption? Sick of Bishop's bathing in gold while your family starves? Do you have influence but do not wish to be known to share these views? Place a letter in the envelope provided and leave it nailed to your door. Our messengers will gather what we can, we advise you that this could be called heresy. We are not criminals, we are seekers of truth. When we receive your letter, with reasons behind you attending, an address will find its way to you.. As well as a time.. Anonymity is guaranteed, safety is promised. Together we will end this corruption, I hope to hear from you.

-The Voice of the People, Truthseeker

OOC:

Basically this is the brand new Rp scene! Light vs Not Darkness but 'atheism', well, as atheist as you can be in a world of gods and magic! If you wish to attend a summit, literally to brainstorm IC how to deal with the church be it terrorism or proper political process. WE'll come to a decision! Those who attend are genuinely promsied anonymity IC, if you wear a mask or a cloak, you won't be revealed. Treat this like Communism in America. We're doing secret meetings in style! If you'd like to eventually join the Truthseekers or help their cause reply to this thread or private message me! I hope we can stir up some decent role play through this!

Depending on interest I shall send out a PM to those interested with times and dates!

((That really depends on the individual interpretation of the word "god", anything that could be called a god in Warcraft can be killed and those that can't be killed could be considered energies instead of gods. There's also the difference in faith, it's not faith in the existence of gods but faith in that the gods will let you do things.))

((You are quite right! It's why I was rather loose in the meaning. To be frank, it's just a way of gathering those against the church into one place! To try and form some nice rp! The theological arguments will come later.))

Pierre nails a letter to the door of the Gilded Rose.
In neat writing the letter states:

"To the man who claims to be the voice of the people.

I should like to note that no law prohibits opposing the Church of the Holy Light. While your discretion in your disagreement with our Church is certainly appreciated, there is no need to misinform the people, to strike fear of reprisals in their hearts.

Of course, we are always available for conversation and discussion. From the messages read, it seems your intent is for the better of the people. As we share that ambition, I'm confident we can benefit from understanding one another.
Perhaps you would grant us a chance to talk?

I am confused in one matter, however. You present yourself as the voice of the people, yet you seem to address mostly the people. Is this advertisement then a monologue? Or have you claimed this title, before you have rallied the people who trust their voice to you?

In hopes of obtaining clarification, and relaying my invitation to meet, I write and salute you.

Jean-Pierre d'Armagnac,
Priest-in-waiting of the Church of the Holy Light."

I demand to know who the Voice of the People is!
Quite outrageous!

Is there any possible profit in this?

Can we loot the church?

My my, my dear voice of the people. I seek an open mind and find a leader, a banner and an idea. When the new moon rises over Stormwind, know that it shines for you.

Your friend, the Moon.

So this message is widely available? I smell opportunity!

What has the church actually done to warrant this?

Fed itself and forsaken the people. Well I assume. tbh I dont really need alot to go and bash light dogs.

Well, Benedictus turned on us. I think that's the basis for most of the hysteria, plus does it -have- to have done something for people to desire its influence for their own?

I can see Anaei is up with her shenanigans yet again with the VoP.

Seemed like a good time to whip him out! And without all that pesky drama from before. GREAT SUCCESS!

Apparently nobody knows this IC. Well that's what the hoards of people bashing their heads against every mention of it on these threads seem to think. Regardless good luck, the Chapter shall be there to outright obliterate you all, good evening!

Well i would say it is now IC. I made a HC kill in DS yesterday which means I was there man I have seen some stuff!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously the RP is better if it is out in the open than not. As the Moon and the VoP have both mentioned it why not RP it as that, the authorities are welcome to deny it and cover up or admit it publicly (more RP as Lighties debate with the council/nobles).

I like whats cookin', lets for once hold a awesome party!

Why does politics always have to play a part in stuff? Just come and try and kill us already! *grunts*

You used the Lexgrad grunt! I kill you!

Are you suggesting that you in fact is VoP Anaei? Can't be, clearly just a cover for some much more satanic clouded figure..
I will take a wild stab in the dark and say.. Lester. This reeks of that old capitalist.

((*Shrug* It shouldn't be too hard to use technology to figure out who he is... But... What would be the fun in knowing?))

((People already forgot the drama VoP created way back, and who confessed to being it? It's not -that- long ago, and I'm less ancient to this server than most here.))

((I deny being the Voice of the People))

((I actually forgot about who confessed. But then again, what would be the fun in knowing? ))

I will retain from derailing, apologies.
Just a little inside joke between me and VoP.

I've reread the original thread. You are not atheists either. You do not oppose The Light, you oppose the Church. So you are enemies of the Organized religion.

They deny the light as a divine source, simply as a magical essence. Like nature or fel magic. That's technically atheism in the World..

Of warcraft.
