BSG | Event 0047 - A Sacrilegious Request
General Summary
King Calimaco Bladesong:Your August Majesty, I'm as devout as anyone... But it's beyond ridiculous that for one day of every week, all the shops shut and no work gets done.
I know, I know, It's the Ninth God's holy day, the day He rested after slaghtering the other gods like cattle... But must it interrupt trade? I'm leaving profit on the table!
And need I remind you that The Coast is the economic powerhouse keeping the Kingdom afloat? We should receive special dispensation!
You want to carry on working through the day of rest?Lady Patrician Pinky Monier:
Not me personally. Just my employees.[quote] High Inquisitor Petronia: [quote]This is sacrilege, by the way!King Calimaco Bladesong:
How long have you been standing there?High Inquisitor Petronia:
The Ninth ensures I appear where I am most needed.Lady Patrician Pinky Monier: [quote]I-I assure you, High Inquisitor, I have nothing but the utmost devotion to the Ninth God... But I need to think about my profits![quote] The Council
| Result | Should people be allowed to work during the weekly holy day? |
|---|---|
| Nay | Allow people to work on holy days - but only in The Coast. |
| Nay | Allow people to work on holy days throughout the Kingdom. |
| Yea | Keep the weekly day of rest. |
On the way back to her villa, Lady Patrician Pinky Monier is mobbed by religious zealots, held in makeshift stocks for a week, and pelted with dung and rotting meat.
The commonfolk find it hilarious and Church donations triple overnight. Any rumours that the High Inquisitor was involved are totally unfounded.
