Starkmanir Tribe: Difference between revisions

Line 36:

This was the final straw for the Theology Council. Uncomfortable with Arzad's growing popularity among the slaves as a quasi-religious figure, the Theology Council had been asking Arkon Ardishapur to intervene and curb Arzad's activities for some time. A long-time friend of the Hamri family, he had done what he could, but Arzad seemed to answer only to a higher power. His usurping of this symbol of the [[Amarr Emperor|Emperor's]] power resulted in Arkon Ardishapur being forced to preside over Arzad's execution for treason and blasphemy by order of the Theology Council. All copies of this symbol known as wildfire scepters were also ordered rounded up and destroyed. The Starkmanir were furious at his execution, and even with his death, Arzad's influence on the Starkmanir people was far from over.

His book of sermons became even more popular among the tribe, who began calling him St. Arzad. Three days after his death, Arzad appeared in a dream to a Starkmanir youth named Drupar Maak and told him “The fire in our hearts burns for salvation, redemption, and grace. May the Word of God grant you the courage to save yourself and your people. Years later, on the day of Khu-Arzad, Drupar Maak avenged the death of his beloved Holder by killing Arkon Ardishapur with his own scepter, lighting the fuse for the Minmatar Rebellion. Arkon's son, Idonis Ardishapur, in his first act as Holder, responded by ordering the orbital bombardment of Starkman Prime.{{refn|[https://fiction.eveonline.com/stories/chronicles/khumaak Chronicle: Khumaak]}}
