The Repentant One

As the dawn broke over Trader's Square, and store owners began moving about, setting up for the day's business, a small crowd of red-robed figures lead by one Intahera-Sergeant Mendrick Zahr processed through the area, heads down, chanting litanies to the Ourani Dragon God, Osurak. The group of priests marched to the doors of the Sinari Council Hall where they stopped and fell silent as their leader produced a scroll of parchment, a hammer, and a nail - the paper was tacked up on the door, and once the deed was done, the Intaheras resumed chanting, leaving the way they came. A few curious souls would approach the door to see what the document was, and their reactions would be mixed - some would pray, some shake their heads, and others fall silent, staring for a few moments before being ushered away. The document, with the words "Holy Confession" scrawled at the top in ornate lettering read:

I, the undersigned, confess, with the world as my witness, to Holy Osurak my guilt in the crimes of conspiracy to commit assassination, seditious acts, and blasphemy against His Holy Word. I know full well the gravity of my actions, and realize that I deserve the heaviest of punishments, and it is with a heavy heart and complete repentance that I beg Him for forgiveness. I have seen His mercy, full and glorious, and though I know I do not deserve it, I profess with profoundness my thankfulness for it. I shall hereby swear upon my name, my honour, and my life to neither commit nor tolerate such heinous acts again, and I admonish all those considering such acts, for they are the product of malicious self-interest. I also denounce all those with whom I was involved who have not repented as I have, and denounce any who commits such treasonous acts in the future. I pray that my sins may be absolved, and I will forever guard against them.
