[!] An official notice with the seal of the Vater is posted in front of the Great Cathedral, and in the major places of worship of the Empire [!]
To all the faithful Alderists of the great Hadrian Empire,
In recent times, impious voices have reached my ears, the intent of which is to divide Alderism, causing it to derail into the oblivious chaos of Dolus.
Some accusations are aimed at the clergy and specifically at those who carry out the administrative functions of the Temple, very close to the Vater.
Regarding the accusations made against the Templar Paladins of being criminals, whereas only some of them are ex-criminals, I am forced to take action against these impious assertions.
It takes determination to know the bad and choose the good instead.
It takes faith to lift one's spirit from the depths of Dolus' chaos.
Finally, it takes courage to wield the sword of faith and face evil, the real one, after knowing and touching it first hand.
Those who have not known darkness and crime directly cannot fully understand the martyrdom, and the suffering and heroism necessary for those who, despite having been wounded by the evil of this world, have chosen good over evil by serving to the Vater.
Just as Alder suffered from the wounds of Barandjal the Mighty's demonic sword, they renew their pain and passion for what is good and right in this world every day by choosing the path of faith.
Yet ignorance is a great evil, which grows and expands like a plague brought by Dolus.
For this reason, all those who from now on will be accused of having addressed words of insult to the order or to the Vater with sufficient evidence, defining the sacred Order or its Temple as unworthy, will from now on be branded by the Vater as "Cultists of Dolus" with appropriate official documents.
Their oaths sworn to Alder, including oaths of marriage or vassalage, will be considered lies: null and void before Alder.
They will lose this status only after an official apology to the Vater and an act of penance decided by him.
This has been predicted.
Signed, Gregor von Volker, Vater of the Alderist Faith.
