Words of Dhira (New Buriti Seals)
(As transcribed by His Prophet, Nir'Vascaria the Illuminated)
Translated from the Crimson Tongue to the Buritian lexicon by Mari Dewi,
servant of the faith
Listen, ye faithful, and heed the sacred verses that pour forth from the
molten gut of Dhira, the Eternal Flame that births all creation. These are
the hallowed Crimson Edicts, seared into the annals of existence by His
divine will. Let the new revelations enshrined herein be as a blazing pyre,
igniting the souls of the devout and illuminating the path to glory
everlasting.
I. The Ascendancy of Vasca
1. Revere the Vascan Monarchs, anointed custodians of Dhira's radiance, for it is they who shall lead the virtuous to the promised realm of eternal rapture.
2. The bloodline of Vasca must remain unblemished, a pure crimson torrent flowing from the forge of Dhira's making. To mingle the sacred embers with the ashen tinders of lesser stock is to court damnation most profane.
3. Render unwavering fealty to the Crimson Throne, for the wisdom of its sovereigns is divinely ordained. Their decrees are the echoes of Dhira's thunderous voice, to be embraced without question or hesitation.
II. Subjugation of the Buritian Heretics
4. The barbarous Buritian race shall eternally languish in servitude, their subjugation a righteous penance for embracing the grotesque idolatries that have damned their unenlightened souls.
5. To raise thy hand against a Vascan regent is to defy Dhira Himself. Such heresy shall be met with annihilation, delivered through the purging flames of sacred retribution.
6. From birth, the Buritian young must be immersed in the glories of the Vascan creed, that they may never forget their place as footstools upon which the chosen shall ascend to paradise.
III. Conquest and Dominion
7. It is the sacred destiny of Vasca to extend Dhira's dominion across all lands, for every soul must ultimately kneel before the Crimson Banner and pledge fealty to the one true faith.
8. Those who embrace the radiant truth shall be spared and granted the privileged burden of servitude. Those who defy shall be condemned to the searing agony of Dhira's hellfire for all eternity.
9. The spoils of conquest belong to the pious warriors of Vasca, for it is by their blades that the path to transcendence is carved. Let the craven and feeble be culled, their frail flames extinguished.
IV. Fealty and Devotion
10. Render absolute obedience to the holy decrees of the Grand Popa, for he alone can interpret the inscrutable mysteries that blaze within Dhira's ineffable will.
11. Conduct all rituals and sacrifices in strict accordance with sacred tradition, from the sanctified bloodletting ceremonies where the heretic's tainted essence is purged, to the hallowed burnings that reduce the apostate's flesh to ash. Lest the wrath of the divine be roused and consume the unfaithful in searing perdition, uphold these grisly rites without deviation.
12. Apostasy and heresy are the most grievous of transgressions, punishable by an epoch of unspeakable torment when living, bones shattered and flesh seared with flay-shears, then within the crucible of the Eternal Abyss upon death, the soul scoured of its essence for millennia untold.
