.... What true said. ...

Ooohhh man if she goes for this we can finally start restoring the glory of the empire. There are a lot of immortals waiting to see how this one plays out :-)

You know I will be the first boot on the ground in any reclaiming though in the event of a split my loyalty is too God's chosen empress. Though the true faithfull will never split from the empire so I doubt it will be an issue :-)

With immortal troops and the 1st gens that handed themselves in she has the force she needs to get the ball rolling

Ok 1 question what if you hear your god almighty`s voice and it told you to kill your empress would you do it?

Yeah it would get messy for me since I am tied to the Sarum Family but the empress is also a member of the Sarum household.... Such is a test of faith.

Then the True Sons and Daughters of Athra will await the words of our Empress. As the scriptures say
Book of Reclaiming

"I give to you the destiny of Faith,
And you will bring its message to every planet of every star in the heavens:
Go forth, conquer in my Name, and reclaim that which I have given."
- The Scriptures, Book of Reclaiming 22:13

Perhaps the Empress will consider it time to Reclaim the Matari in God's name.

However I sincerely hope Lord (Merimeth) Sarum does not do anything foolish, my oaths of Loyalty to the Sarum Family are binding, my honour is on the line, and should House Sarum make any moves against the Tribes it is my duty to back them.

"I will not hesitate when the test of Faith finds me, for only the strongest conviction will open the gates of paradise. My Faith in you is absolute; my sword is Yours, My God, and Your will guides me now and for all eternity." - The Scriptures, Prophet Kuria, Paladin's Creed

The Paladin's Creed is my creed. I must live by it.

While I would love to bring truth and enlightenment to the Republic, I will put my faith in Empress Jamyl's word for it is pure. Whatever the call, I will not hide from my duty.



Don't be foolish now.

Can us Minmatars have no problems? It seems like whenever I read the news, something is happening to my people. Are we made only to feel nothing but pain? If a war comes along, I'll be behind my people 100%. We deserve some happiness and hopefully the slaves back in Matar.

Alas no, Gomes. Looks like I'm gonna be heading back to Matar and tacking up contracts. Screw profitability, I don't care if I go broke buying up gear and vehicles fighting against this invasion. I swear on my dubious honor I'm going to do everything I can to make that little yappy dog upstart succumb to shame and failure for trying to use my people as a stepping stone for his ambitions.

Its because your people are so volatile that you suffer and this suffering is of your own doing. We Amarr will uplift you from your ignorance and squalor and bring you into the empire where you may all know true peace equally as children of God.

Sorry but I don't want your "uplifting". We only fight with such anger because it seems as it everyone is pulling and pushing us. Slavery is not the answer for such "uplifting". I mean you have to drug us just for us to be happy with your so called uplifting.

You just don't understand the nature of Slavery in Amarrian culture. Its is our test to you to see if you are ready to join the Empire.

In any case what your people want it not an issue. The Amarr are the chosen children of God, they who are to bring the light of the Lord to the furthest reaches of space, to reclaim the stars in the name of mankind, and they who are to unite the galaxy under one banner.

So we get to prove we are worthy with backbreaking labor and the Amarr get to benefit from free labor. That's awfully convenient for their religion. As for the Gallente, they have a lot of hyprocritical bigots but left to our own devices we have little to worry about. Last I checked, the leadership among the Gallente isn't calling for holy war to expand institutional racism.

House DEI fully supports the SARUM FAMILY

May the flames of Reclamation burn brighter than ever

Sounds like in light of recent events somebody just wants their slaves back. Dress it up all you want with scripture.

Take the same man on the same job, but two scenarios. The first he is a free man, the other enslaved. Do the Amarr really get off so much on taking away his agency, his dignity, that it's worth all the extra costs of keeping him down as opposed to paying him the market rate for an honest day's work? A slave will do what he has to in order to not be beaten, starved, or otherwise abused in ways I'd rather not dwell on. A free man selling his labor will do his best to cement a reputation for quality.

Besides, nobody gets slaves to handle a stock portfolio or to perform surgery. All that human potential is squandered for the benefit of an elite. Aren't you also screwing over your lower class peoples by shutting them out of low skill jobs you impose on slaves?
