A Call for Reflection
In the Eyes of the Everwatcher may Justice be Held.

In response to the recent claims put forth by the Reliquary Order, Viridian Order, and Regalian Celacy, I request that we refrain from hastily dictating how this matter should be addressed. Each of us holds our own convictions regarding appropriate forms of punishment, and our opinions have potentially shaped biases or even hatred toward the implicated parties.

On behalf of the Unionist Faith, I advocate for a pause in the dissemination of publications, urging instead an inward approach that involves conducting a thorough and impartial investigation. Given the involvement of the Reliquary Order, Viridian Order, and Celacy, it is crucial that we refrain from premature judgments and trust in all our abilities to create a proper and just punishment in the eyes of the Empire and the Everwatcher.

We know the facts presented thus far and I refuse to excuse the actions of Lord-Protector Riftan Mekrov and Lady-Protector Estlin Mekrov, formerly known as von Kepler, who resorted to violence within the temple. Their titles should not serve as absolution; upon taking their vows within their Order, they committed to upholding the Codes mandated by the Emperor and the Regalian State. While their titles should be taken into account, all of the Everwatcher's followers are deemed as just that, hence their titles will not change my judgment as a Celate.

Justifying their violent actions based on words spoken within the sacred halls of the All Beacon Temple is untenable. The temple is a sanctuary where words should only be uttered in truth, and even if offensive, resorting to violence should never be the initial response. The notion of defending one's honor through violence is concerning. The removal of Lord-Protector Kurt zu Vietenhauser and Miss Hudson Tyne from the temple should have sufficed, and Miss Tyne's position within the house should be removed.

It is essential not to overlook the fact that both Lady and Lord-Protector Mekrov are members of the Lothar Order, having undergone rigorous training and conditioning. Their abrupt turn to violence following spoken proclamations, even if inappropriate, cannot be excused by the use of excessive force.

Violence within the grounds of the All Beacon Temple must never be condoned or rationalized. It is the Reliquary's duty to intervene, and given the gravity of this transgression and the individuals involved, the Viridian Order's presence is justified as well.

In my capacity as a Celate, I provide counsel to the people in our city, I express gratitude for Lady-Celate Liliana du Poncaire's representation of the Celacy in advocating for retribution, and I note that retaliating violence with violence achieves nothing, especially with the very halls of the Temple and the eyes of our Gods being witness to the unfolding.

However, as a Celate, I lack the authority to dictate judgments within the Knightly Orders established by the Emperor to address injustices. While I can offer my perspective on the matter through the lens of faith, my influence is limited. Hence, I ask that the Celacy be involved but refrain from exceeding the bounds of our position. We are here to counsel but our involvement with the matter should not view them as their respected titles, but as followers of the faith and nothing more.
