Episode CXV - Marechal Grande

Standing on sacred ground and swearing a holy oath to set forth and bring accursed unbelievers to their knees to confess their guilt and seek repentance, the Marechal Grande proclaimed that all who shall follow him shall be blameless and free of taint and that they will foreswear the joys of the flesh and eat but grass and the morning dew so that when they bring down their sword on the neck of those who fail to reject their evil ways, they will know that theirs is the arm of righteousness, for is it not better to be pure rather than corrupted and is it not better to endure one’s own lash than to be at ease and free of pain. It is written in the record that the Marechal Grande’s promise was fulfilled and he and all who followed him perished in ways unimaginable.
