darken, SHUT UP!
how about that grammar idiot, cause when you know what the person means it doesn't really matter now does it!!
again, shut up, i dont give a crap if im annoying, deal with it, it's called LIFE! (its very annoying you know)
Forget your prozac or something? And no, I don't have a clue what you mean. I said I'd leave the whole thing alone, yet for some odd reason you're going all haywire when I actually agree to the thing? Second of all, I never said you were annoying (well atleast not the last post). I said this whole
deal was annoying and I just wanted to get it over with.
Ok, since the last time I messed up with everything I'm going back in. Hoefully this will be clearer. I'll elaborate on the diffrences as time goes on.
To All True Brothers of Faith
From The Davian Church Council
Following the recent defilement of Veritas by the blasphemous Emorians, we have no choice but to follow our own paths. Veritas is a power long gone and as such has fallen under the control of betrayers, barbarians, and foreigners. The high elder of the Veritasian church has called upon an exodus from Tellus for all Veritasians who can manage it. While confirming what the Council has already said- the welcome extended to any Veritsian who cannot make the exodus into Davar- we are also confirming the immediate fracture of the Davian, Veritasian, and Emorian churches. Already in motion, the break will be immediate and the headquarters of the Davian Church will now be located at Ardon, in western Davar. The following is a copy of our main disbeliefs with the standard Veritasian Church and the bastardly Emorian one.

-With the fall of Veritas from power, we enter these dark times without a leader. Veritas has been the home of the church since its creation and the dawn of time and now with Veritas under foreign control, we must make a decision. Over one hundred thousand followers of the One live in Davar- second only to Veritas itself. As such we, the clergy, have to make the hardest choice any priest would ever have to make: whether to accept the voice of the impure in Veritas or set up a new headquarters in Davar.
We have chosen to do the lesser of the two evils and we’re now proclaiming the new Davian Church of The One. In addition to moving the headquarters from Veritas to Ardon, Davar we have met on many issues and are declaring changes to the old Veritasian theology. We believe that over time the main theological ideals of the Church have been polluted through contact with other religions and thus are ungodly.
We have spent the last three weeks debating the beliefs of the established church and a copy of the Hypandium scripts that were retrieved from the missionaries of St. Pire. After this three week conclave we have come to a conclusion that a new church must be established in order for the sins of this world to be purged.
The Hypandium Scripts:
After reviewing the Hypandium scripts we have come to the conclusion that long ago the church was pure. A young man from these mountain villages long ago traveled to Veritas on a mission and was converted to the true faith. He brought the religion back to the mountains, where it stayed the same over the next millennia. Much of the Davian Church’s beliefs originate from these texts. And as so, many Hypandium words have been brought into the religion. The following is a general meaning of the words used in the text.
“God”- An ancient Hypandium word from when they worshiped the nature god, originally meant “Divine force” but has now come to mean “The One”.
“Lord”- Another Hypandium word that stood for the sky god, originally called “Loran”. Can now be literally translated as “ Power above”. Both “God” and “Lord” virtually always stand for The One these days.
“Soul”- Word coined by St. Pire from “ San Ouil Unn Lean” or “The force from within”. The soul is a key concept in Davian Oneism, as it stands for the piece of God that exist in the hearts of all men.
“Saint or St.”- Coined by Chezrn Avrell, the successor to St. Pire. Comes from “Savaa Ardinn Igin Neva Timu” or “Follower of the rightful God”. A title given to those of the faith who goes to the extreme for their faith.
“Heaven”- The literal translation from the Veritasian “Paradise” into Hypandium script.
“Durma”- The expanded and “corrected” version of the Summa.
“Adonis”- The first book of the Durma.
Select scripts from the Durma
-“So be it that upon the first day of time God was whole and complete. He stood alone, surrounded by chaos and emptiness. Over the millennia God grew lonely, tired of his empty surroundings. The Lord created the universe over a period of four days, working rapidly. The first day he created time and the universe itself. The second he created the sun and other planetary bodies. The third was marked by the creation of the earth and the separation of land and sea. On the final day God created Man and all the other various creatures that roam the land.”- 1:1 Adonis.*
-“During the early years man began to grow evil. God was wary of this and so He installed a piece of himself into the hearts of all men. Such began the soul.”- 1:2 Adonis
-“In the beginning all men lived up in Paradise, and all was good. Man served the Lord in righteous ways and committed no evil. In return for this man was allowed to live within the boundaries of Heaven and was granted immortal life. But as time progressed man grew tainted and began to commit evil and wrong the One. Thus God expelled man from Heaven until a time his soul could be cleansed and he could return to Heaven.”- 1:4 Adonis
-“Only by committing acts that are supported by the One will a person’s soul be cleansed. If a man commits evil, then the soul will become darker and he will have to strive harder for entrance into Heaven.”- 2:12 Adonis
-“Until a man’s soul is clean, he will experience rebirth.”- 2:13 Adonis
