Before the Relief Institute, a crowd several times larger than usual was gathered. They stood in line for grain porridge, its comforting aroma filling the warm spring air.
Despite the large crowd, the porridge was ladled out in an orderly fashion. It was to be expected—the Holy Knights of the Order Church were, of course, adept at maintaining order. The Great Swords and flails they always carried would punish anyone who broke it.
At dusk, to placate the people, the Priest began a new address:
"The Lord says: Darkness and chaos go hand-in-hand, breeding sin and suffering. Only Light can guide our path so we do not stray, and only order can protect us from harming one another. To believe in this is to believe in God.
Unfortunately, some have betrayed their faith in a moment of trial, succumbing to their suffering only to inflict it upon others. Such people, who turn to demons and evil spirits, who serve darkness and chaos, are no longer our brothers and sisters.
