Proclamation! Friday, October 13th

[Malaclypse 666]

The Goddess Eris Discordia sends greetings to her followers and allies, and to the enemies of Order throughout Sirius:

Friday, October 13th is a black-letter day in the Illuminated Lore of Ancient Terra. On that fateful day in the year 1307, the forces of Order in the guise of French King Phillipe IV and Catholic Pope Clement V, conspired to round up, arrest, and suppress an esoteric group of Crusaders known as the "Knights Templar". Their Grand Master Jacques DeMolay was also arrested that day, and was later beheaded for refusing to recant his beliefs.

The Templars were thought to be in possession of many ancient mysteries and rituals of Illumination. They were also said either to have discovered, or to have knowledge of the location of the Holy Grail. In fact, Philllipe and Clement acted to suppress and disband the Templars because of their increasing wealth, power, and resistance to the edicts and beliefs of the Roman Papists.

The forces of Order have worked to suppress the Ancient Mysteries throughout history. Illumination is feared by the Anerists, because it causes the person possessing these ancient secrets to think independently, and to have direct knowledge of the Truth without the need for intermediaries such as Divine Kings or Popes. (This is the source of the ancient Discordian practice of making every person a Pope!)

Well, my friends, the time has come to avenge Jacques DeMolay and the Templars once and for all! The Goddess Eris in her Quirky Wisdom has directed me to proclaim this Friday, October 13th, as a day of retribution against the forces of Order in Sirius! We call upon all enemies of Order to rise up on that day, and to strike at the Anerists with all the might they possess. The Erisian Liberation Front will be in the vanguard of this Great Work, but requires nothing more of our sympathetic Eristics than to act as you see fit.

Wherever the forces of Order have insidiously gained power, they must be reminded that the Universe demands balance between Order and Chaos! The lawful factions in Sirius will soon know the meaning of the Illuminatis ancient battle cry:
Jacques DeMolay! Thou art Avenged!

Proclaimed by my hand, and the pretty Fingers of Eris,
Malaclypse 666, Episkopos Prime, Erisian Liberaton Front

(Please RSVP here, and bring a dish to share for the After-Avenged party.)
