Pronouncements of Sextes Jylis in the Grove of Fallen Cherries

The Pronouncements of Sextes Jylis in the Grove of Fallen Cherries is a passage from the Immaculate Texts, concerning the dangers of the Anathema.

"...And Beware the Deceivers, for they are perhaps the most dangerous of the Anathema. The Wretched may be quick and silent, the Forsaken may be fearsome, the Unclean may be learned in terrible dark arts, but these are nothing to the awful subtlety of the Deceivers. Some say that even the Blasphemous are less dangerous; for although the Blasphemous want nothing more than to spread teachings of falseness and corruption, they are most often direct, betraying themselves with bluntness so they may be killed outright. But the Deceivers will manipulate with horrific trickery. Their clever words are traps for the unwary, and they will bind your soul into oaths of slavery and corruption if they can. Appearing refined, like a hidden blade, they are quick to take advantage of weakness; indecision will lose a battle against them far more quickly than lack of skill at arms.

Your faith is your strength and your shield; give the Anathema no chance to speak, but a quick death."
