A piece of parchment is hung in several different places, a notice, with finely written, detailed, and skillfully written Gothic text. (Imagine it in Old English MT)
::

Followers of Kelemvor,

Times have faced many, upon many accusations upon the Eternal Order. Many of which would make a simple man run for his life, many of which would make a simple man run behind our towering Knight-Templars seeking safety.

I wish to let all of the Kelemvoran faith, and any of which who seek to join it that our ranks still retain it's purity. We are still the Guardians of the Martyr-Saint, and none shall stand in our way of our sacred duties. May all who read this message, who wish to know more of the Judge... Lord Kelemvor, seek the Cathedral of the Martyr-Saint in Nes'ek, Khem.

We bring you, HIS faithful followers protection and security against a world of the tainted, a world of heresy... Against a world of Night Daemons and undeath that seek to tear down the Righteous where they stand! The Legions of the Night will not tear down our Faith! The Legions of the Night will not tear down the City of Judgement, not Lord Kelemvor, none of his followers, for that we are blessed with his grace!

I seek all of our Faith to come to the Cathedral of the Martyr-Saint, so that WE may STAND against this TAINT! In the name of the Immortal Lord Kelemvor we shall stand united! Jergal and Kelemvor's servants in-hand to ensure the surrvival of His word. Believe none other than the members of our Sacred Order, for that many conspire to see us fall.

May His Will Guide Your Blade, Brethren.

Chapter of the Martyr-Saint

::Inquisitor Garrett regulary walks around Nes'ek, checking on the locations where Gill had posted the Notice's making sure no one has tried to tear them down or defile them::

Reading this notice briefly, Tuomas shakes his head.

~ If what even half of the others have said about you is true, then you do not walk with the path of the Virtues. ~ Tuomas ponders to himself, tapping his chin before moving on.

A copy of the following text http://www.amiaworld.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=80&t=54394 is sent to the attention of Gill Bensbennard and the Eternal Order with a note attached.

I hope you find this reading informative and of interest to offer a different perspective on Faith and Virtue.

*Calin looks on the message in Bendir Dale and laughs, he writes up a message and attaches it to the wall*

"How about you do something instead of plastering messages around the place?

You know, something other then grabbing people for torture. Nobody will take the Eternal Order serious as long as you are apart of it Gill. Your a fool, and worse, your a fool that's gained some form of power. When you manage to "cleanse" undead from even one of the many places around the isle that contain said undead, maybe people will take the Eternal Order seriously again.

Here's a few places:
Burning Crypts.
Electric Castle.
Moribund
Several crypts within' Khem.
The Crypts found in Brog.
A Crypt found in Forstakkr.
Tarkuul.
Cordor Sewers.
The list goes on and on and on.

When you actually do something constructive instead of gaining enemies and forcing your law on others, then people will take the Eternal Order seriously. Personally though, I lost all respect for the Eternal Order the moment you where recruited. You don't deserve your rank.

Warlord Calin Katar"

*Jacia notices the letter in Kohlingen before heading home so she may sit to write up a reply and returns to place it up*

Eternal Order,

I would hope you would not lock yourselves in your cathedral and neglect your duties to smite the true taint that is the undeath that plagues various locations throughout Amia and it surrounding islands. Regardless of what you may think will happen, You still have a duty to this land and to your Lord to rid of undeath and cease the life of those who create it. Fear not an attack from those who would not wish a war, do your duty as opposed to worrying of baseless accusations against those of good faith, such as members of the Dawnguard or rangers/Druids of the Grove. I would respect the Eternal Order far more if I notice them doing their duty and not stand around idly within the forest waiting for something to happen. Stand up in the face of undeath and Dark Necromancy fearless as any paladin, as strong as any warrior, and as merciless as any could ever be against, undeath. You are the will of Kelemvor, you are.. The Eternal Order.

May the Triad watch over you,

- Lady Jacia

*Gagis ignores public noticeboards as usual. It is not widely known why Gill did not follow the same policy.*

All notes in the Dale receive the following tag:
Perpetually ignoring Dale sovereignty earns you no friends in these lands. Learn to abide by local law or suffer the consequences.

~Nina Thorrow
Co-Captain of the Bendir Dale Irregulars

Victor looks at the note posted by Nina, ponders if the missive sent to the council ever actually reached them, or if Bendir is really -that- disorganized.

Posted at all the above locations is the following poster:

To The Eternal Order,

It is widely known that the Eternal Order is concerned with the Undead and those that would create them. The fact is appreciated..

The problem lies, however, with the issue of respect.

For example, for whatever reasons, The Eternal Order has seen fit to abduct members of certain factions in the past, for purposes of interrogation and torture. The Banites have done this as well. What is the difference? The difference is that the Eternal Order are supposed to be allied to the goodly factions of Amia. The Eternal Order should, out of basic respect, approach the leaders of these factions with concerns about their members, and obtain their permission for said interrogations and torture.

The glaring fact here, which has seemed to escape many, is that the Eternal Order is a foreign-based faction. When they come to Amia, great care and respect should be taken so as not to callously intrude upon another faction's jurisdiction.

YOU are the guests. Behave accordingly. Forgetting this is precisely why you have been banned from Cordor.

Sindero looks to the following notices, and shakes his head. He then mumbles some words to himself, and continues his duties. Though, under the Nes'ek and Kohlingen poster, the seal of the Knight-Templar is placed.

Garrett reads over the post about respect that was place next to the Nes'ek message before taking it down and folding it away into his pouch.

Janna,

You are wrong when you say that the Order is a foreigner. The Order has a long standing basis on the island of Amia. You are relatively new on these lands, but since you were associated with the Triadic Knights, you should know this better.

Grandmaster Yaston Sylgerand

A blue and white clad elf might be seen looking over the poster and the replies to it. He offers no response; in fact, he shows no sign at all of having even read it once he walks off.

::
No sign of the Order taking any notice to these responses, at all. Although there are often Order members present where the posters have been placed, making sure they stay up. Those attempting to remove them would have their hands batted away by a nearby member, or simply have it replaced the next time a member passes by.

They only show interest in ensuring that these posters are viewed, showing no interest in slander, however.

In the Cathedral of the Martyr Saints, a pale skin man can be seen around. At first, he went there carrying the symbol of the Triad Knight on his silver armor. But after a while, the silver plate was changed to a pale/grey armor, with black and white colors on the chest, most related to the squires of the Order. If questioned by those not related to the Order, he would avoid to answer his/her questions unless addressed by someone from the Order.

Yaston,

She is not wrong. The Order does not have sovereignty in Cordor, does not rule Kohlingen and is not the commanders of the Dale. That was her point and nothing else. To respect those whom you wish to work with is a common courtesy and simple logic, but she was trying to lay it out even simpler for them-- and I suppose you-- to understand.

Just think about it a little bit. I'm sure it will hit you eventually.

Lady Si'neela moves the poster in Ne'sek to the wall next to the Cathedral.

She does not accept no for an answer.

A scarred, one-eyed warrior takes a moment to read the posters and spits only one word before stalking off, scimitar drawn.

"Heretics."

Madam,

Jergal has been around since the End of Time and will be around, at the End Time. Whether it is this isle or that plane, He will always be there. Life is but an aberration, in the long silence of Death. Seek to make preparations for it. When one is dealing with matters of Life and Death, it matters not, man-made territories or jurisdictions. He was around, long before Kelemvor ever attained Godhood and long before Cordor, even existed. Those of our faith, will be there, to see the End of Cordor, in centuries to come and we will record the passing of that once great city, as it crumbles to dust.

Whilst I do not speak for the Eternal Order, know that the Judge of the Dead, does not side with either good or evil. ALL will be judged and ALL will be recorded, in their Doom, in the great scrolls. That is the role that Kelemvor's Church must fulfill.

So you are mistaken, when you believe that the Eternal Order is supposed to side with "the goodly factions". How can a judge be impartial, if it takes sides?

Doomscribe Soldeath
Church of Jergal

Roderick walks past one of these notices, laughing heartily to himself.

"If zhese eternal order goons vanted to be taken seriously, zhey should probably start by not using notices and zhe element of fear to do so."

He simply shook his head and rolled his eyes, continuing on with his daily agenda.

Church of Jergal

Scrawled below is an addition, not really neat, although readable.

Dearest Doomscribe Soldeath,

Perhaps you’d be so kind as to find out why those fluffy dire footpads of Kelemvor refused me entry into our Temple?

I’ve got names to put into our Lords book! Poor lost souls are wandering around unnamed! It’s impossible to be judged if you’re running about nameless!!

Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated,
Scrivener of Doom Mayeve
