Obyn Spy in our ranks?

@CadizFine members of the council. Since being appointed as the Crown Guard representative, I have done all in my power to act in the interest of the people and work toward victory in war.
I fear all of our fine work may be in vain.
I would like to draw your attention to this letter, recently received from Skull Volkov.
copies enclosed in all letters
I bring this to your attention.

There are a fair number of adherents to the Black Chalice within the Obsidian Skulls, men who are fighting against your enemy on behalf of the King. Men who's loyalty should not be questioned any more than followers of any other God.
Perhaps you would like to follow the Transcendence's advice though, and have them represented on the council, and ask us to take our business elsewhere.
Skull Dominik Volkov
I have added emphasis to two important factors here. Firstly, that there are many within the Skulls who follow Obyn's Black Chalice, and secondly that Skull Volkov views Obyn as our enemy. Not his or even the enemy.
I largely take no issue with faith of any person and have stated numerous times that religion practices are outside of the scope of this council. However, what remains well within the scope of this council is the potential for plans to leak via a church which is undoubtedly run by Obyn. It is well known that Obyn is solely responsible for selecting and appointing Priests, Preachers, and Bishops of the Black Chalice.
I have many times stated my support for Najeem of the Transcendence to join us. Volkov has stated an equal number of times his opposition to this. I now begin to wonder whether Volkov is so against Najeem joining our ranks because Najeem and the Transcendence have uncovered his worship of the Black Chalice; a known tenet of which is "to serve your lord is to serve God" - there is little doubt the lord spoken of in this instance is Obyn himself.
Beloved citizens of Arabel, we face a scandal of the highest degree, corruption within those who pull our very strings! Puppeteers of deceit!
It has been leaked that a sitting elective of the Council of Twelve is an open worshiper of The Black Chalice, none other than Skull Domink Volkov.
An open worshiper of The Black Chalice sits among the war council? A faith born of Obyn's tyranny, a man-made heresy built on pillars of infernalism, allowed as counsel against their creator.
This is an egregious error in judgement and moreover an affront to the divine!
How can the Council permit a flagrant spy to weave his wickedness? How can they allow an advocate of the enemy to whisper in the War Council?
Gathering darkness stands on the shoulders of not just blackened hearts, but passive watchmen.
Do the lines blur between Siamorphe true and this pretender?
Is the War Council compromised?
Will they be held accountable?
The eyes of the righteous watch on expectantly.
I therefore level the accusation at Skull Volkov that he is a spy for Obyn.
Furthermore, it is my duty as Crown Guard to uphold the law and, as such, I will be raising a warrant for Volkov's arrest for the crime of Treason.
I look forward to full support from the rest of the council.
Ash
Crown Guard -
Council decides matters of war, the crown guard decided matters of law.
Do as you see fit and make what arrest you see fit, however, keep in mind, faith is not a crime in this kingdom.
So if you make a spurious arrest and it comes to blowing your face off, it is on you.
Sincerely,,
Dame Drakesbane
Puffy's bumbling Scum-goblin minion.

Thank you Dame Drakesbane.
I propose Volkov is permanently removed from the council, or at least a pause is placed on his involvement whilst the matter is settled. I will not be voting on matters whilst he is present.
Religion is not under question here - it is a simple fact that Obyn created this church to serve his own ends. He chooses the bishops, he set the direction of the faith. It is therefore also fact that the bishops and preachers must have direct communication with Obyn.
That alone should preclude Volkov and all worshipers of the Black Chalice from being part of our planning. My personal belief is that this places them squarely at odds with our war efforts entirely and they should be cast out as enemies.
Ash
Crown Guard -
I confirm that Ash of the Crown Guard apprehended Volklov of the Skulls.
He was found to have incriminating papers on him including copies of council files on him when searched by me
However his guilt must be determined in a trial.

//OOC, I made a mistake, it's hard to keep names straight when you need to keep a million of them in your head. So, sincere apologies for the misunderstanding Verk
