Phyra (@oveass), Umbralocht (@bobusdoleus) you have been summoned to hear our verdict in the dispute.
We have reviewed the cases brought forth and have come to carry out Justice. So shall it be.
Umbralocht, you have taken action that is within your powers, and domain. You have seeded discord among a people who are created in the image of Order. Though this greatly displeases the Phyra, we do not find this action to be unjust. It is certainly unlawful given the codes of the Schryke, but you are not bound by these laws. However, you are not held blameless. This was an act of provocation, and as such, we will not remove the curse placed upon the Fleshchanged, entirely. Some penance will be paid. Instead, the Curse of Mirrors shall be collected into one Fleshchanged, and one alone. This "Pape" shall be the only being that has the revelation of the Curse, and shall act as a Giver and Receiver of the knowledge gained. They will be held up among the Fleshchanged as most honorable and will protected. The Pape in old age will choose a new successor to carry the heavy burden. The Pape may share the knowledge, or keep it hidden, as they choose. Lastly, it will be known among all the Fleshchanged that a terrible Curse will be set loose upon the Fleshchanged, if the Pape be killed. If a Fleshchanged kills the Pape, the Curse shall be reinstated in full, on all the beings of the race.
Phyra, you have have taken action that is lawful to your Order, but cruel. We will not support this, nor punish you directly. You love your Schrykes so much you were willing to do evil to protect them. We see this as sincere, but must pass judgement unto your creations that will serve as a reminder. Your Schrykes will hold a celebration. It will occur on random intervals as the God of Chance (@aerotes_forgehammer) sees fit. This celebration will last one cycle of the First Moon. The celebration will be act of reverie, and transformation will be a central theme ([m] think Mardi Gras + Halloween + Burning Man. Costumes, debauchery and fetish will reign and each will throw themselves in fully, as the dedication of the Schryke is well known. The story of when the God of Law acted against another will be told, but the celebration will be inherently hedonistic, not one of moralism and critique.
Lastly, to guard the Fleshchanged Pape, there will be six among the Schryke to take up this mantle. It will be considered a great honor, and will serve as a bridge between the two, and an open door to good relations.
This is our judgement. We have been deeply honored to serve.
EDIT: [m] Some have asked about the authority of Exos, Termos, and Libos. These Gods were summoned by others in order to pass judgement. The authority was gifted before the judgement was passed.
