The Most Holy Sermons of Lashbearer Catrine
[The collected sermons of Lashbearer Catrine, commissioned on her ascension from Open Hand Temple High Priest to the House of the Broken God's Revered Mistress.] Oh, piteous tormented, we live in wretched times. So eager is our populace to beg succour from the city's teat, and so readily is such succour available, that our Broken God is seldom lamented to. The weeping of the fetid masses should fail righteously onto the blood-burned ears of Ilmater, not into the hands of useless bureaucrats. [...] A query often went on the tongue of Ilmater's loyal wretches is thus: 'Who does He bid us aid? How must we aid them?' The answer is simple. We must give these sordid souls the tools to aid themselves - a working knowledge of the Ilmatari creeds. Unless these unfortunates know to channel their suffering towards the Crying God, how is he supposed to intercede for them? Think upon these words, my children.
