Those marked of death and holding the blight of undeath have not been
welcome within the bastion of the North since I purged the last remnants
from it, completing the work of my now wayward cousin and the dukes and
duchesses before me. Those who are enamored of death and enter the duchy
shall be returned unto the world outside or returned unto the death that
they so love. I ask this simple, theological question. Why do those who
worship death and abhor the physical return incessantly to the physical?

Now I shall ask some more. Why would those who worship death be offended
by their servering fromt he physical? Why would those who worship death,
worship the absence of the physical want any claim over any rock, stone,
city, tree, or hunk of physical land in all of Aetherius?

I remind those mouthbreathers on all sides of this that I expect an
answer in philosophy, and not a sad attempt at killing me and claiming
superiority. Show me that your religion is not a glorified paradox. The
gods have blessed a good many of us, Kinsarmarian, Antiochan, and
Stavennite alike such that we do not remain within the clutches of dis,
the clutches of Lord Thanatos. I am quite curious as to how His order
justifies their returning from Dis, their overcoming death, time and
time again.

I await the inevitable conversation to follow with a great eagerness.
