The Report

On this night, a terrible truth has been uncovered. After much searching, questing, seeking and divining, a Kindred has been uncovered that has betrayed our purpose.

After being destined by Almighty God and having their purpose shown to them by the Dark Prophet, this beast masquerading as one of us has forsaken the legacy of the First Childe, the Dark Apostles, the 100 martyrs, all the saints, and us, their brothers and sisters.

Therefore, we must act.

Archived-Rieger has been charged and found guilty of breaching the first, second, third and eighth cannons. He has forsaken his purpose, forsaken the Masquerade, shamefully embraced his progeny and violated his place among the Cainelle. Archived-Rieger has been pleaded with the seek repentance and turn back to God, but has rejected the Dark Messiah’s words with bile and hatred. Therefore, we take upon ourselves the most heavy of burdens. The complete and final destruction of God’s chosen.

As Longinus has spoken.

The Declaration

Let it be known, upon this night, Monday the Seventeenth of May of the year of our damnation two thousand and fourteen, that Crusade has been called.

That Archived-Rieger has been judged and convicted of breaching the first, second, third and eighth cannons.

As such, Archived-Rieger and his progeny are now declared both apostate and anathema.

Let Archived-Rieger be cast out among us. Let no one grant him or his progeny safe haven, nor harbour, nor aid.

Let all those of Canberra take upon themselves the most solemn and grave task. His damned soul is forfeit, his time of judgement nigh.

Let the Crusade begin from this very moment, until his physical remains be bought before us.

Supplications

Archived-Lupo continues:

Let us pray.

Heavenly Father, guide our aim as we serve as your Holy Spear, spilling the blood of the most wicked in your name.

Amen

Let us seek the mercy of the Lord for what we are about to do.

My God, I am truly sinful for the taking of a life which you had given Damnation.

I acknowledge and bewail my manifold sins and wickedness and ask not for your forgiveness but only for your understanding, and I pray that what was done was done in accordance with your will.

Have mercy on me in your everlasting judgment.

As Longinus has spoken.

As Longinus has spoken.

The Commission

Go into the night, and seek out Archived-Rieger and all those that would harbour him. Banish mercy, doubt and weakness from your hearts. Bring unto the Apostate the righteous judgement of the Lord. Show no mercy, offer no quarter. For tonight, you are God’s perfect predator.

Tonight, as always, you are the Grandeur.

We are Sanctified.
