The Elder God Hajamin, earlier this year, informed His Avatar Aesyra
that the honourable Nihilist and Ur'Guard guilds have enacted a policy
that requires our novices to defile His shrines. Aesyra immediately
enemied anyone with position in our two guilds to Hajamin's Order, and
has placed a ban, under pain of death, on our novices and guildmembers
entering the city of Celest out of fear for the safety of His shrines.

Let me make this very clear: Neither the Nihilists nor the Ur'Guard have
adopted or condoned such a policy, and nor have our guilds ever had such
a policy or encouraged our novices to defile shrines, regardless of who
they belong to. Our novices are the youngest members of our guilds, and
we value their safety and security. They are not, and will never be,
mere playthings for some nefarious scheme to defile Hajamin's shrines.

Concerned for the safety of my novices, I brought the issue to the
attention of Aesyra. She rebuked my claim that her information was
incorrect, citing that Hajamin Himself had told her our guilds have such
a policy. She stated that she would not take my word that we do not, nor
have we ever, had such a policy. When I asked to speak to Hajamin, she
decried my attempt and said that He was aware of my request but did not
deign to descend from His haughty throne to speak to me on the subject.
This is both irresponsible and inexcusable. When an Elder God has relied
on questionable and fallacious information to reach wholly wrong
conclusions, it should occur to Him to research such an outrageous claim
with His near limitless power.

Since Hajamin has refused to speak with me on the subject, and Aesyra
insists that she will only reverse such a decision on Hajamin's word, I
have been forced to enact a similar policy in Magnagora. Any Paladin or
Celestine, novice or otherwise, will be enemied on sight if they enter
the walls of Magnagora. As I cannot ascertain that the Paladins and
Celestines guilds do not in fact have a policy that requires their
novices to defile the shrines of Lord Fain and Lord Raezon, it is a
measure that I must take for the safety of our Patrons' shrines.

This sounds ridiculous, I am sure most of you are saying. I agree, it is
ridiculous, and Hajamin needs only to speak with me and order His Avatar
to retract such a policy and I shall retract mine immediately. He is no
doubt able to use His powers to search through the records of Nihilist
and Ur'Guard policy to see that our novices are not required to defile
shrines. I will assume He can do the same for the Celestine and Paladin
guilds, and take His word that they do not as well.

In the future, I hope many of you consider the merit and the source of
Hajamin's words and information rather than relying on them through
blind faith alone. This event has proven that they are not necessarily
truthful, and nor are they backed with plausible fact.
