The Credii

The Credii

Overview of Faith (Public Book):
We believe in two worlds. One spawned from God and the other from his lack. A one way stream from the latter, us humans only enter His realm when detached from this realm. We are an ascetic sect, our monks follow strict vows.

We do not believe in procreation, murder, hunger, thirst, and all bonds that link us to this realm. We do with only what we can, we will all do with nothing. Our mission in this realm is to ascend to God's and make this realm more tolerable for those who do not believe.

Our Faith consists of two, Expleti and Secti. All Expletis are our monks, following the tenets of our faith to the best of our abilities, we devote our life to the cause of enlightenment. The Secti are believers who are training to be Expletis or those who just wish to follow without such strict tenets.

A follower will never procreate. Expletis are not to touch the opposite sex. Expletis will not make eye contact with anyone else but other Expletis. We will not be responsible for more souls bound by flesh. Women who have given birth are not allowed to join the Expleti. If an Expleti is found to have broken these, immediate dismissal will follow. Expletis will go without food as long as they can, they will go without sleep. They will go without any of the false comforts given to us by this realm. We are not to eat flesh, we are not to kill, we shall focus on detaching ourselves from this realm.

Send a dove if you wish to learn more about our faith or join our congregation.

Expletis:
Caecilianus Cathari
Alabus Arthurius
Anthony Carthusiana

Novice:

Secti:
Maridious
Richard Martins
Aleksander Adams
Alandur Allithyn

The Secti who wish to become part of the Brotherhood shall undergo a rite of passage. If possible, you will be paired with another Secti willing to become an Expleti. You two will act as support and guidance for each other. An Expleti will give you tests of faiths and watch your progress. When the time is right, you will be anointed.

Donations:

We have a small collection of donations consisting of gold, food, clothes, and other items. If you are truly in need of these things, ask us. We will gladly pass them to those in need. We also ask those who do not need their items to donate them. We do not use these items, but try to distribute the wealth to non-believers.

Masses:

Monthly Mass 1 ((October 7, 2007 @ 6:00pm GMT/1:00pmEST))
Monthly Mass 2 ((October 27, 2007 @ 6:00pm GMT/1:00pmEST))

Library:
Open to Secti and Expleti
Open only to Expleti

Basilacius the Prophet
Book of Hystanos

Marepus; First to Enlighten
Book of Nefos
Orasmus the Unthinkable
Sightless Virtues

These are a current list of books which we have copied, master copies will not be given out. More books are still in the process of being copied. If you wish to access a book, send us a dove and we shall lend you our copy.

Updates will be made accordingly. You can contact here, by dove, or around town.

Blessings to all of you

Expleti,
Caecilianus Cathari

Secti Anthony Carthusiana has now become a novice, one final test of faith to challenge his understanding of the Credii is to be done for him to become an Expleti.

Congratulations Anthony, The Credii are here for you in your journey.

Expleti,
Caecilianus Cathari

Cliu Beothach · Post by **Cliu Beothach** » Fri Oct 19, 2007 10:30 pm

Store Eldhrimnir has expressed his wishes and does not follow our tenets. He shall leave the Credii to follow his own beliefs. We bless him and our arms are always open if he needs support.

Expleti,
Caecilianus Cathari

The Mass will be postponed for one dwarven week, same time. ((Sorry, I went on what was to be a "short" journey...turned out it took hours.))

The Credii extends their greatest thanks to the Druids of the Forest and Mr. Merung Harbes for donating the Monastery and large amounts of aid to help rebuild it.

The Druids of the Forest give the responsibility for the area of the Eldan Monastry and everything that lays on that aree to "The Credii".

"The Credii" therefor have the right, to behave on and with the property, how they think it is right. The are from now the rightful owner.

In the name of the Druids of the Forest
Merung Harbes

We are accepting donations for rebuilding, though there is not too much work left. A material list will be posted when it gets recalculated for certain changes.

All specified donations will go directly to funding the Monastery that will be open to all as well as our guidance for those who seek it. Those who need shelter, food, and other benefits are free to come once it is rebuilt.

Expleti,
Caecilianus Cathari

Cliu Beothach · Post by **Cliu Beothach** » Sat Nov 10, 2007 8:50 pm

Calculations have been made and as of now, this is what is still needed for the monastery.

12 shovels
20 scrolls
25 blue cloth
311 raw stones

We are taking donations for these and are willing to buy them as well. Contact me if you wish to donate or offer a deal.

Thank you
Expleti,
Caecilianus Cathari

I now announce that Anthony Carthusiana is an Expleti of the Credii faith and is to be known as such. His work is now available to other Credii's and Novice's to read.

We welcome him with open arms. Congratulations, Brother.

Expleti,
Caecilianus Cathari

Following a vision of the Lord Eldan, Milamber has been admitted to the Credii as a Secti.
I pray that you will all encourage him along his journey, and help teach him the faith.

In Eldan's name,
Expleti. Anthony Carthusiana.

I offer the Credii my humble apologies of my drastic and unjust actions in the past, And I can only wish you will have me again among your ranks.

Eldrir

Bellringer · Post by **Bellringer** » Sat Dec 08, 2007 6:51 pm

Eldrir, as God forgives us when we repent of our sinful ways and return to his glorious path, so in the same way do we forgive you.
Welcome back into the fold, Secti Eldrir.

In the name of Eldan,
Expliti. Anthony Carthusiana

Milamber · Post by **Milamber** » Fri Feb 29, 2008 7:08 pm

A note is pinned up in the Altar-room.

Blessed servants of Eldan,

I feel my services for his Lordship have been ignored and do no longer feel needed in your ranks as the turmoil grows and you do nothing.

Hereby I apply my resignation with the Credii, And will follow my own path in hope to bring balance and justice.

Signed
Milamber

Dear Brothers of the Credii,
My name is Francis and i am a priest looking to join the Credii. I am very interested in learning about your religion. Please post and tell me when and where i can meet with you. And please tell me where your monastary is located.

-Eldan's Humble servant, Francis

Dear Credii's,

You still exist? Remember that we still have an open business. I would like to contact anyone of you as soon as possible.

Credii,

I ask you to please speak to Lady Cad'ell before you sell the land to some knighthood. She has claims on it first and we were discussing buying it from you. I am sorry this couldn't come sooner, we didn't expect some knighthood to buy the land.

Sir Dantagon Marescot

Cliu Beothach · Post by **Cliu Beothach** » Sun May 25, 2008 11:06 pm

Our numbers dwindle, however what is left still lives up here at the monestary. I know we've worked out a deal, but I just wish to open the gates to those who need help or wish to serve Eldan.

I was unaware of any buyers until recently. I am open for discussion and I am here when you need to talk.

Respectfully,
Expleti Caecilianus Cathari

More is added:

I spoke to Lorian while giving what I could to pay for what great work he did, the donations from gracious Merung as well. I was under the impression he would handle the rest of the sale to another buyer with good intentions.

Dantagon Marescot · Post by **Dantagon Marescot** » Sun May 25, 2008 11:11 pm

So who sold the monestary to Julius?

Dantagon

Cliu Beothach · Post by **Cliu Beothach** » Sun May 25, 2008 11:13 pm

I am under the impression Mr. Lorian MacGintish as I spoke with him recently while giving him the funds I could afford. I told him I wish not to be in debt and gave all I could. He promised to look for another owner to aid in the cost who would preserve the integrity of the site.

Expleti Caecilianus Cathari

Dantagon Marescot · Post by **Dantagon Marescot** » Sun May 25, 2008 11:26 pm

Then I shall send Lorian a dove and see how much it costs to buy the monestary and Lady Cad'ell and myself will come up with the money.

Sir Dantagon Marescot

Cliu Beothach · Post by **Cliu Beothach** » Mon May 26, 2008 3:20 am

My brothers in faith,

I announce that I have returned from contemplation in the desert, and once again wish to work in the world, while remaining separate from it, to enable people to find holiness once more.

We are glad for your return Brother. Perhaps we can meet in the oncoming days.
