The following is performed when a Sanctified treads too close to the Mortal world, and is designed to show them again the separation between Predator and Prey. The Recitation is chanted until the subject of Exorcism is calm and still, and ready for the testing

The Recitation

Though you are Damned, your Damnation has purpose. It is the will of God that you are what you are, and the will of God is that the Damned exist to show the evils of turning from Him. The evil become Damned; God has taken those worthy of His love to His own side.

What you once were is not what you now are. As a mortal is a sheep, so are the Damned wolves among them. That role is defined by nature — wolves feed on their prey, but they are not cruel to them. The role of predator is natural, even if the predator himself is not.

An ordained hierarchy exists. As man is above beasts, so are the Damned above men. Our numbers are fewer so that our purpose is better effected.

With the power of Damnation comes limitation. The Damned hide among those who still enjoy God's love, making themselves known only to exemplify fear. The Damned shall make none of their own, for such is a judgment of soul that is the purview only of God. The Damned shall suffer yet more should they slay a fellow to take his soul from him.

Our bodies are not our own. Our purpose is to serve, and when we stray from that purpose, we are to be chastened. The light of the sun excoriates; the flames of a fire purify fleshly evil. The taste of all sustenance other than Vitae is as ash upon the tongue.

At this point, the mortal vessel used for the Exorcism is brought in. The ceremonial weapon may also be given to the subject, as desired.

The Presentation

As Longinus has spoken, you must (Perform act).

The act in question can range from caving the Exorcism’s subject name into the mortal, drink from, violate or even kill them. The tasks can be many and varied, and once they are all completed, the following is said:

Now we will depart, and leave you to complete on the simple truth. You are the Grandeur.

I am Sanctified.
