Preachings of Karsus
-
A robed man can often be found preaching among those who will listen the glories of the True Lord of Magic, Karsus.
He preaches against restraints upon ambition and that to strive to always reach the impossible while others bind themselves to mediocrity is a holy act of mortal kind. Be it magic or blade, any who seek to be the best and greatest can only do so through Karsus for he was the greatest of us all. The first man to become a god by his own power.
When he is not preaching he is hammering posters of his sermons for all to read.
-
As the Prophet of Karsus, Zakath continues his preaching, signs of a new convert of the faith can often be seen alongside the man. Going by the name of Brother Aled, this former brigand stands as proof that little by little the faith of Karsus is slowly starting to take root.
-
Across the realm, on well-traveled roads, people, merchants and adventurers can often find shrines adorn in glowing runes that seem to draw them closer. While many might not yet know what these shrines are or the holy symbol they represent, the few that do recognize it and spread the word.
The Faith of Karsus seems to be growing. Their shrines are appearing even on the road. What could this mean?
Alongside the shrines are copies written in Netherese script. Many think it is the faiths holy text. And sometimes, they can catch sight of Zakath, praying and setting up some of these shrines.
-
The Order of Thaumaturgists are silent, and not often seen preaching as often. It seems they have gathered together in their hidden places to research and pray. It seems some sort of discovery was made by their announcement and all of the faith seemed intent on it.
One wonders what shall be revealed….
-
Rumors spread of the challenge thrown down by Zakath to the Luckspinner Yuta of the Free Tymoran church.
Many wonder whom will emerge victorious? The cultist of an arcanist many believe destroyed Netheril or the heretic of the Tymoran church?
Whom do the gods favor in this match? No one can truly say.
-
The congregants of the faith of Karsus are in a state of religious excitement, ecstasy as many fall to their knees before shrines of Kharsus and engage in hour long rituals of worship.
Many more begin gathering what few belongings they have in preparation for a pilgrimage to the Stonelands, or something else.
At the head of these few worshippers, the Prophet of Karsus ‘Zakath, speaks and preaches for hours on end of the discovery of the First Temple of Kharsus. The Temple of a Thousand Faces.
-
It seems more and more shrines to Kharsus can be found, and more people seem to attend the sermons and preachings of the faith of the Arch-Wizard.
Though still not a large faith, the cult of Kharsus seems to be growing slowly and surely. A worrying development or the sign of something else?
-
The announcement of a public conversion of a new member to the faith of Kharsus is announcement the people of Arabel never could have expected. Before the faith seemed to be quiet and secretive.
But now, from along the roads
To within the city's slums and even in its hidden nooks,
The Symbol of Kharsus appears. Sometimes painted, sometimes small shrines being built to the Arch-Wizard. All with the same message
"Join the faith of the Arch-Wizard. You know you are meant for greater things. Together, we shall build a utopia. Together we will make Arabel the center of the next Great Age of Peace and Prosperity. Hail Kharsus."
