[VOICE POST]
Today belongs to Highest Hierax, the god of death. Given the affliction many of you seem to be suffering, I think I shall spend much of the day in prayer. Death must be honored; it is inescapable and, though we are loathe to admit it, holy.
All I can think of is, to how many I have brought the Pardon of Pas, and how many myriad more times I have not been able to. Do those spirits also find the Aureate Path, or are they too weighed down by guilt or anger? Pas would forgive them, even so; but do they know it, and know how to seek him?
Sorrowful questions. I am not cursed, I don't believe; then again I've never killed a human. I have sacrificed to the gods countless times, but perhaps animals do not count. I killed a talus once, in self-defense, but they do not bleed; there is no oil on my hands, either.
I haven't been shriven for that, and other acts; may the Outsider forgive me... And all of us.
