My Brothers,
The Credii on the mainland have always been in the tradition of storing and dispersing knowledge, through speech, text and art - upon our island however, we have locked away our books and texts from the faithful, and in doing so have made our faith harder to find.
I suggest that the following books be placed in the Monastery library, so that all may read our works, and in doing so perhaps we shall have some new recruits, who along with us shall seek for holiness.
The books are:
Overview of the Faith
Basilacius the Prophet
Book of Hystanos
Marepus; First to Enlighten
Book of Nefos
Orasmus the Unthinkable
Sightless Virtues
Aswell as the book 'Vision' by Milamber, who has sadly no longer continued with his life in the Monastery, and if the brethren deem it possible, the book "How to be a simple monk" by Logrinn Parr, who captures something divine, even though he is not a follower of Eldan.
I shall assign to others and take part in the copying of these texts myself, as well as working on any new texts that the Prior, Expleti Caecillianus, deems useful for the faithful.
Yours in faith,
Expleti Anthony Carthusiana
(( Does anyone have the texts, no matter how short for Basilacius, Hystantos, Marepus or Nefos - I have written copies for all the other books already, which simply need to be put into the book editor. As I've written five, it would be helpful if someone else write, or recall the other four. ))

It is my sad duty to inform what remains of our small community here on the isle, that our beloved and sacred monastery has been sold from the hands of Sir Julius Rothman to the Archduchy of Trollsbane. Our order was not consulted, but I am sure that the Expleti Superior Caecillianus Cathari will agree that we must make the best of a bad situation. I believe we must try to convince our new owners to respect and permit our faith, we must not cede our monastery to other gods for it would be a gross sacrelege to the holiness of Eldan.
In all faith,
Expleti Anthony Carthusiana

My Brothers,
I have good news for those of us that have toiled long in the garden of faith - we have a new Secti joining our Church. He is Father John Glaston of the Church of Gobaith, he seeks knowledge and contemplative wisdom of Great Lord Eldan. Hopefully he shall be able to find it here through labour and dedication.
Eldan's blessings upon him as he begins his journey as a Secti,

Expleti,
Father Glaston has my blessings to learn the ways of Eldan from you. It is hoped we may come together in friendship after a poor start.
It is in this hope, that I ask we meet. We would like to help you repair the monastary, but will need your assistance to do it. Please meet with me at your earliest convenience.

My Brothers,
The Credii have formed an alliance with the Church of Gobaith, for it was decided that we shared common ground at the ritual last night, and as such I have humbly ascended to the position of Leader of the Eldan Parish. The area surrounding the Monastery is now part of the new Archbishopric of Trollsbane, the tenth borough, which allows us to draw on the resources of Trollsbane and so keep our monastery intact in order that many generations may find Lord Eldan within.
We have come to the agreement that the Credii shall train all members of the Eldan Parish, in order to ensure good understanding and teaching of the faith, and so reduce the chances of heresy between the followers of our most blessed God. They shall join the Credii as Secti of course and will have been deemed to be complete in their training once they have become Expleti.
Truly I believe we shall flourish under the Archbishop, Bishop Thyme, who has been put in temporal command of the area, thus safeguardng our privacy in which to pray.
With Eldan's blessings,
Expleti A. Carthusiana

My Brothers,
Yet more good news is to fall upon the ears of the Credii. First and foremost of this news is that Secti Milamber has returned from his travels, and will reside at the Monastery once more; he shows will to become an Expleti, due to his hard work for the monastery, and so we have made him a novice. We wish him the best of luck with his path, and may Eldan's blessings be with him.
Secondly, the meeting on the 13th of Irmas was a success, with most of the Credii attending aswell as the members of the Eldan parish. We were also blessed by the presence of Archbishop Thyme and two new paladins of the Church. All members of the Eldan parish have expressed a desire to learn from us, though sadly as of yet they have made no pledge to follow our beliefs. Archbishop Thyme has also begun training under us as a Secti, and has learnt much of our faith - he believes our path to be a sensible one, and so endorses our teaching of his Church. Great thanks go to Expleti Cathari, who worked great lengths in order to educate Daelyn, a priest of this parish.
Lastly, I am pleased to announce that I have been made Bishop of the West, my diocese containing the lands of the Eldan Monastery. You may expect me to be present as often as usual, for prayer's sake, though I may be called to Trollsbane by business as time progresses. We give Trollsbane our best wishes for the formation of their multi-denominational chapel in the city, and pray that it will serve to bring more souls to the religious life.
Lord Eldan has blessed us greatly recently, not us not squander his gifts but rather educate the isle and bring people from the cycle into Eldan's own realm.

Expleti A. Carthusiana, Bishop of the West

To Tentatrice Ayx,
We are glad to hear of your interest in our order, which grows steadily by the day, as Eldan wills it. We will of course be glad to teach you all that we know, but only if you feel you are up for the challenge. The life of an Expleti, should you choose to progress to that high level, is not an easy one; it is rife with hardships, fasting, constant prayer and often the ridicule of the world. However, if you are strong enough in the spirit to brave our challenges, then you shall be admitted. I wish to meet you in person, perhaps at ((4pm GMT December 29th)), then I shall allow you to join our order as a Secti, or lay-follower. Blessings upon you my daughter for your choice, and if you wish to serve the Eldest God then we shall not close the path to you.
In Eldan's name,
Expleti A. Carthusiana, Bishop of the West
