The Reformation Sermon

A fiery sermon and proclamation made by Pòsta Fòzuul on

by Harlen

12 Mayo, 5568NG, atop the Tûrguth Vox at the compound the cultists know as The Main Room. It was an hour and a halk long, performative fire and brimstone, and defined the beginning of a new era in the One True Church. An era of ramped up burnt offerings, and double the number of sacrifices than had previously been proscribed. Pòsta took the time, also, to introduce two new chapters in the Book of Gàol, which had been dictated to Pòsta's truest friend and confidante, Favvà Cannòllini.
The two new chapters have everything to do with submission to the will of the Gàol. This ultimately meant to the will and whimsy of the church's elders, and to this day the cultists are required to give up their life savings and their monogamous relationship. Indeed, men are expected to feel honoured that their wives or partners were chosen to spend a night with Pòsta, or Favvà.

Purpose

To widen Pòsta Fòzuul's hold on the cultists.

Historical Details

Background

Gàbba Gàol himself purportedly dictated two new chapters of his holy book to Favvà.

The Reformation Sermon

In the name of Father Gàol, behold! Attain your knees and ready thineselves for prayer, true believers. Ready thineselves, for I have good news! Behold! The Book of Gàol remade! Our Lord and Saviour Gàbba Gàol has spoken once again, bringing tidings of great joy!
Friends. Fellows. Believers! Attest! The One True Lord has spoken, and he speaks of virtue.
We all know of our Father Gàol's virtue! Take in the stranger, says he, despite how little food you may have stored in your root cellar! Comfort the aggreived, even if you are, yourself, so afflicted. The act will help to heal you. What good, wealth, if it helps not thy neighbor? So sayeth Father Gàol. Yes, Yes! Cheer unto Father Gàol, brethren! Stamp your feet until the bones of the world break! Clap your hands until they are numb! YES! Now!
ATTEST! Attest.
Listen, closely. Yes, yes, closer, brethren. My whispers hold the wisdom of our father, yet I dare not shout them from the mountaintops. They are too controversial; too close to true. Herein lies wisdom the first; we share everything! We share all! It is selfless sharing that will cushion the fall!
For yes, mankind shall fall; and elvenkind, too! The boiling sands of the desert will consume the wicked and purge the land of unbelievers! Tidal masses of flaming stones rumbling through the lands, washing away sin and sinner alike! We shall be adrift, as a sailless ship upon a tumultuous sea...

...and thus, shall we prevail! Stand and share with your brethren, true believers! Share, and be FREE!
