Of courde they dont believe what they are doing is bad. Why would they? Anybody that is willing to DIE. To sacrifice their lives for what they believe in, is righteous in their own eyes and in the eyes of their kin.

The people of the dark dont believe they are wrong and neither do the peoole of the light. They both believe in their ideals SO much, that thry almost destroyed the world to prove it.

In the end, its a matter of perspective.

From my standpoint, as a player, I see the light kingdom as a bunch of holier-than-thou zealots that SHOULD be taken down a few pegs. And you know what? The death of their king and queen and the near destruction of the world did just that.

Now under a young, new ruler who has never experienced the fires of war and doesnt have a bias other than blamin the dark for her parents homocide (which desh has a counter to) but under this new rule, maybe the light kingdom can make this shift that Nogoodname wants. But as it is now and has been, its just insanity. Its a combination of the old testament ig christianity and islam. Intolerant, extremist, and radical in search of a utopia that just cannot exist unless every single soul conforms to its ideals.

It was taken down a few pegs when Eligius Falco blew up the Duchy of Mercia with this roleplay's equivalent of nuclear bombs just to hold off the Dark Army. These "bombs" are cathedrals that are filled with energy that comes from the souls of righteous men who believe in the Light. But in the end, while they did manage to destroy a chunk of the Dark Army, they sparked the beginning of a violent civil war between the Elysians and the Mercians.

I liked the part where a priest's friend fucked his goat. 11/10 can relate.

Also...

The priests actually have code words for things.
Goats are mistresses.
"I have to take care of my goat."
"My goat needs me."
"I need to feed my goat."
"Don't get any funny ideas about my goat."
But in this case, the priests' best friend is fucking an actual goat, and the priest wishes his friend would just fuck his mistress instead.

Why do you think I made a ronin in the first place? I want someone who grew up a staunch believer in something to learn that everyone else has their own faith and that there is no true good or true evil.

That and I wanted a reason for a samurai to be outside Arashi.

I really hope they dont send my character after you. She will not survive that encounter lmao

To an extend you're right, the light kingdom definitely puts itself above the rest of the world, but I feel like that's just a side effect of the situation most citizens of the light kingdom find themselves in. From a very young age they're told "Keep your chin up! Stand tall! You can do it just keep trying!" They share a lot of similar ideals with America actually, the idea of the "Everyman hero" is something very prominent in their culture which is enhanced by the fact that every citizen must undergo mandatory military training and service. Even the government gives a strong incentive to advance, to the point where you could eventually end up running the show if you play your cards right, rulership is not just reserved for the royal family it's anyone the king appoints.

You walked into me, Skittles.

Unless she makes a lot of good friends who got her back. Then maybe she'll survive.

No, I'm not. That's because I have no idea what GD is.

 

[Nogoodname]

No, I'm not. That's because I have no idea what GD is.

"God damned" I just wanted to make my post look like the most "text lingo" I possibly could for maximum jokes.

Oh Nogood, you are wonderful. xD

And in following this system what do you get? An entire civilization that truly believes they are better than the everyone else. Anyone that disagrees with that? What? Does the light kingdom talk to them and try to convince them? Or are they struck down with all the righteous glory that is Elysium.

You know the answer to that. Elysium doesnt talk about their superiority. They show you. No matter how many lives it may cost

You definitely should read this story:

Spoiler

Read this. I think I captured the spirit of heresy in this roleplay with this little short story I made.

==============

Everybody is in a tavern, accusing each other of being heretics. A priest walks into the room and notices the ruckus, and so he tries to get to the heart of the matter. After listening to their arguments, he concludes that every person in this room holds heretical beliefs.

"So, who's the real heretic here?"
"Technically, you're all heretics!"

"Oh my god, father, don't kill us! Don't burn us to the stake!"
"It's all right, my son, I just caught my best friend fucking my goat and decided that I needed a drink today. This is why you're seeing a priest in a tavern."

"Father, if I may ask, how many heretics are in this town?"
"Everybody is; they just don't get caught. The people being burnt at the stake are either unbelievably stupid or just insanely unlucky."

"So how'd YOU become a priest and why?"
"Me? Personally? Just like everyone else, I basically became an errand boy for the church for a while and then I went to a fancy celebration where some bald guy declared me a priest. And why did I become a priest? I just wanted to hang out with my buddies since they were all becoming priests. Did you know that there are benefits to priesthood? Steady employment, respect and there's even an opportunity to become rich depending on where you are. Of course, there are real faithful people out there, but they're quite rare in number."

"I wonder, why does the church bother to hunt heretics down if there are so many of them?"
"The church only hunts down the big shots and not the small fry. Those bigwigs like to change the church from the inside out and so this kind of thing raises eyebrows. Meanwhile, most people just like to pick the safe option so they conform to the church's demands. With the Royal Army the Church's got, it's not worth the trouble contesting their claims. And the church can't indoctrinate everyone in the kingdom, only the people that are within their reach. So that's why there's such widespread heresy in the Light kingdom. The church knows that, but it can't just burn someone because they don't believe the sunshine will make things better. If that happened, half the people in this kingdom would be burned to death. So we're kind of in an impasse here."

"Just what is a heretic, father?"
"A heretic? Well, the popular definition of a heretic is someone that disagrees with the fundamental beliefs with our church. Almost everybody at some point was one, even the most devout believers have their own doubts from time to time. Problem is that most people tend to assume if you're not worshiping the Light with them then you're against them. I'd say we have redefine the meaning of a heretic or else we'd end up antagonizing folks who are genuinely curious of our faith. Skeptics would be the right term for people who simply disagree with us. A heretic should be someone who contests with the authority of the church and seeks to change it for better or for worse."

"Let me ask again, why are there so many burnings of heretics?"
"Ah, I see now. Sometimes, folks are just eager to accuse each other of heresy because they're either crazy or they're greedy. If they're crazy, and they take this bullshit seriously then they'll probably be ready to burn the everybody alive anyway. Nobody wants to be near those folks. Personally, I think even demons are scared of them. Second and much more common, are those greedy ones. People are rewarded salvation from their sins if they catch a suspected heretic doing 'questionable' acts that challenge the church's authority."

"So in reality, most of the time, the heretics are actually burning each other for salvation?"
"Yes, my son, the world is fucked up. Now I really need a drink."

Those friends better be strong enough to stop a royal. Which, btw, only another royal would be able to detect this guy. That or someone who has a racial perception benefit. Something like vampires, lycans, kitsune, kobolds, and so on and so forth.
