Unspeakable Cults
Malefactor
"This may seem strange to you. Our squires and poorer footmen discovered a trick of the Saracens, for they learned that they could find [gold coins] in the stomachs and intestines of the dead Saracens, who had swallowed them. Thus, after several days they burned a great heap of dead bodies, that they might more easily get the precious metal from the ashes. Moreover, Tancred broke into the temple of the Lord and most wrongfully stole much gold and silver..."
"Afterward, all, clergy and laymen, went to the Sepulcher of the Lord and His glorious temple, singing the ninth chant. With fitting humility, they repeated prayers and made their offering at the holy places that they had long desired to visit..." - Fulcher of Chartres
"Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat, "Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." What a glory to return in victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! Rejoice, brave athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord; but glory and exult even more if you die and join your Lord. Life indeed is a fruitful thing and victory is glorious, but a holy death is more important than either. If they are blessed who die in the Lord, how much more are they who die for the Lord!" - Bernard of Clairvaux
Wherever the fanatic is impelled by his intoxicating faith to the slaughter and degradation of the enemy, there is The Malefactor, poisoning the soul with the essence of pernicious delusion.
Tonight, the triumphant arrival of the new knighthood comes under the banner of Sarpanitum, whose mighty work crushes the heathen beneath a booted heel and uplifts the spirit towards exultation.
Behold the Malefactor's unholy presence here.
