Even though I have received no response from the church besides that
silly post by Dharke, I will once again speak upon the church.

This church is not a holy church but a church run by infidels. Many of
the long-term members have been booted out and told not to come back,
and even more have been kicked out after challenging the will of the
Prelates. A Holy Church would not kick out good and faithful members for
challenging or thinking a decision made is false only a church built on
fear of damnation and hell would dispel those that have been faithful
for twenty plus year for one series of arguments, only a church of
damnation would dispel a member for trying to solve problems in it. I
this very month witnessed a church member slaying a foe, not in an
honorable dual, but rather slaying him just after his rebirth before he
could surround himself with defenses. Would this not be an evil act? Why
does the church endorse these acts?

Shallam if you wish to survive you must declare to the church that they
must leave, the church is taking you over it is time for the members of
Shallam who are not influenced by it's lies to step forward and take
control, in order to bring the city into line with development. The
church holds you back not helps you progress. I cry over the memories of
a great Shallam, which is no more. The church, which may have been good
at one point, is now corrupt.

O' Shallam what happened to the glistening of your spires?
Why are they all dull now?
Why are you powerless against your foes?

The answer Shallam lies not with the common citizens as a whole but
rather your leadership. They mostly all belong to the Evil Church of
Achaea.

I have had the dreams and I have seen the future, remove the church from
Shallam and you shall prosper but continue to allow them ground and you
shall fail, and in the absence of sensible leadership in Shallam, we
must all look to the next group of sensible leaders, which reside in
Mhaldor. Once a crumbling city it is now powerful empire. Learn from
your mistakes Shallam learn. Do not continue to believe that the church
does not control you because they do control you. Dispel these illusions
immediately.

Mhaldor the Strong, I commend you in your strides to destroy this evil I
have spoken about. It will not take long until their icons are no more
because of the church and the weakness of their allies, the Mhaldor
icons shall soon be the supreme icons. I have seen it.

I know this will be hard for you citizens of Shallam, but cut your ties
immediately from the evil church, which you allow to hide inside your
walls study your lives. Will you rather serve the mask of all evil, or
the truth? This does not mean you must go and enter Mhaldor, but it does
mean you must leave Shallam if it continues to support that which is
evil, you must leave.
