Piercing The Gates of Malfeas is a text by the heretical monk Crazy Cloud, ostensibly a work of religious instruction for a young monk seeking to embark on their religious life in emulation of Sextes Jylis. In format and terms used, the text apes the writings of various commentaries and lessons written by the Immaculate Order to teach the Immaculate Texts, though its title is at odds with such and at times its phrasing seems jarring or nonsensical.


If one looks beneath the surface, however, one finds the lessons ostensibly meant for Immaculate religious instruction are in fact describing intimate positions, Piercing The Gates in fact being a rather masochistic sex manual... though if one were to interrogate Ikkyu, he would likely hold that this makes it no less of a religious text.


Piercing The Gates of Malfeas has been condemned by the Immaculate Order and banned from printing or distribution by order of the Office of Censors, but copies are known to be passed among members of the Scarlet Dynasty.
