With great apprehension I follow the latest dark events that for many weeks have afflicted the souls of the Empire that was Alder's.
In my illness I rely on the faith of the clerics and their devotion to the Temple and the Sentinels, but today I cannot help but express my disappointment for what is in motion.

I invite all high-ranking subjects of the Empire to separate the sacred from the profane, and not to use religious pretexts to achieve what are merely political objectives.

The risk many Alderists run today in doing this is to break the harmony and order sacred to Alder and his successor the Emperor, and to prepare the way for chaos and fratricidal war, since that is precisely where Dolus is hiding.

Shedding the blood of brothers is wrong, just as it is wrong for a good Alderist to hide ulterior motives behind his words.

May personal and family objectives remain as such and not hide behind presumed sanctity or faith in Alder: they have little or nothing to do with Alderism.
