Canon 29: The Pretenders

A terrible blot remains on the history of men. As a race, we have suffered greatly for our folly and paid the price of blood and tragedy. Thanks be to the One, True God from whom all wisdom comes as a gift, for he could not remain hidden forever.

From 3744ey until 5107ey the race of men were wrapped in their ignorance in service to the Decadon -- the ten so-called gods of Westrun. These pretenders guided the fates of men and directed their affairs in matters great and small, through the Deceived Priesthood of the False Temple in Peakshadow.

In 5108ey the pretenders were at last thrown down and all the deceivers banished from the temple. In their place the divine priesthood was established and the Patriarchy established to bring light and truth to Erenth.

Anyone who still believes these pretenders or who maintains their folly, whether by the keeping of seasons and times, or the propagation of their worship is deceived and dead in faith. Anyone who hears of the one, true God and rejects him in favor of this other way is a fool and a heretic. Anyone who has received the truth of the teaching of the one, true God and yet returns to this other way is in danger of damnation.
