From the Desk of the Cleric-Mother
Alexi Petralia
A Missive in Two Parts
I.
A Declaration of Faith
Toward the founding of the Thyemic Sect
Some months ago at the Imperial Audience, His Holiness the Emperor recognized me, my flock, and my church. Such an honor is never forgotten, but the public at large has hitherto heard the specifics of my Unionism only in mutters and whispers. Perhaps inevitable, as I often fancy myself more a mystic than a priestess, but in this missive I intend to set things right.
Hereby do I profess a new facet of the Faith, and declare myself first leader of the sect of Thyemic Unionism. As theologians before us have endeavored to expand the faith so it might serve all its faithful, so to do I begin this movement towards the end of guiding and uplifting the Faithful Dead. Not merely as laity, but as the ordained. Curate as I was in life, so too shall I be in death.
Further, I declare our sect aligned to and beneath the Patriarchate of Etosil and the Evintarian church. Originating as this movement does from that land where living and dead first made peace under the Dragonblooded Heron, His Holiness Emperor Cedromar, we could naturally pledge ourselves to none other. The Patriarch may well cast suspicion upon us, but take heed that this shall be no empty declaration, but a commitment of sword and pen both.
II.
A Call to Arms
Toward the reclamation of the Flaming Sword of the Heron
It was the Evintarian Church who originated the practice of proclaiming living Herons. Indeed, the exaltation of those exemplars of the Spirit's virtues, both living and dead, is realized within our Church to an extent above any other. Relics, those treasures of the Herons, are thus awarded unique significance, for they, like their owners, are touched by the Spirit.
One such relic has been revealed to lie most ignobly in the Fae Sepulchre. Alike a Heron in its holiness, to find such a thing imprisoned so, among demonic implements and other heretical devices, is plainly anathematic to Evintarian sensibilities. Indeed, it ought to stoke the ire of any who follow the Great Way.
As our first act as formal sect, in Spirit's name, do we proclaim that this injustice shall be righted! We call upon all Faithful to join us in our impending march upon the Sepulchre, where we might reclaim this article of Faith for the Herons, for the Spirit, and for all Humanum!

TL;DR + OOC
Alexi's undead church, which has nominally existed for a while but lacked any formal documentation following becoming legal, is now a proper thing! Our first order of business? Rescuing a Heron's Relic from the Fae Sepulchre!
