The Martyrdom of St. Marvin

Life, Death

"Our Lord offers us grace and mercy. We have offered it to the pagans, and in return receive the due penalty for our folly: blood, violence, the worst kinds of tortures, the rape of our wives and daughters, the beheading of our sons. Truly, the sons and daughters of St. Alaena must smite the heads of these pagans with pestilence. Mercy is for the merciful." -Presbyter Gaius Tuscany, Against the Pagans

Brother Marvin of the Ministerial Order, convinced that love might convince the cult of Mar'Ankar to cease their war against the Church, journeys again to Mar'Ankar. Days later, a delegaton from Mar'Ankar arrives at El'Tsutuk. A priest of Marabal, wearing Brother Marvin's skin, tossed the screaming priest into the city square, and turned to leave. Brother Marvin did not survive the night.   News of the event spread to other priests and ministers in Samayaris. Word was sent back to the council of Presbyters.
