Anvari lecmys,

Years have passed since My return to the Basin of Life and over this
time, the number of Shards that feel drawn to My teachings has slowly
increased, which indeed gives Me hope for the future. However, with this
increase, the number of Shards that are unaware of My wishes concerning
offerings also increases, and because of this, the number of mistakes
made. I would like to take this opportunity to make these things known
once again.

While I sincerely appreciate the many offerings that are made to Me,
there are several aspects of My teachings that might clash with these
interests. My Teachings do not condone the slaying of Shards or other
sentient beings unless this is done in self defense or the defense of
another. Those who do not bear My patronage need of course not adhere to
this principle, however, since the slaying of the aforementioned beings
goes directly against My Teachings, I do not wish for them to be offered
in My name.

Penned by My hand on the 24th of Juliary, in the year 144 CE.
