Rosa Annalis Scriptura

A man in white and gold robes preaches damnation and punishments for the rebel and the thief from a gold bound tome. Circumstances do not matter, one should always be righteous. His loud voice carries throughout the grandiose chapel and sun filters in through the stained glass behind him. Censers release strong incense as the congregation kneels and begins to pray.
A woman wearily sits down in her grey smock, she stifles a yawn as the dozens of children sit down on the thread bare rug of the common room. They look up with hope and excitement as she reads from a faded dog eared book. Her words are gentle and tell the orphans of a farmer who rises up against the ruling caste using everything at his disposal and sometimes stealing food to survive.
Both speak from the same book, though both have very different ideologies and methods.

Purpose

These are a collection of the tenants and stories about the great liberator known as Rosa. It is preached from as an example of morality and righteousness. Originally created as a historical if biased recollection of the events around the figure known as Rosa. The Holy Order of Rosa preaches from it, but more of a hellfire approach despite its teachings of acceptance and several cited examples on gardening and cultivating the land analogies.

Rosa Annalis Scriptura

The Seven Holy Tennants of Rosa. Be a shield to the weak. Be a river to the people. Be a light in the darkness. Be a truth within lies. Be a garden in the desert. Be a sword in the face of undeath.
As he rose, the Yakedra Empire faded. So to does the sun rise and the darkness diminishes. Armies of men rose up and formations of elves fell. He gave people hope, and the necromancers despaired. When a brother fell he would raise them up again. The enemy took his trick and twisted it, raising their dead as mockeries of life. When the children fell sick, he tended to them. When the enemy asked for mercy he granted it. When he was betrayed by a brother he forgave them. When people collected money in his name, he returned the money. When he died, he was remembered.
Working and cultivating the land cannot be overstated. Understanding patience, diligence and a respect for ones surroundings. The people of the world are as various as the seeds of plants, each is to be nurtured and groomed for the future. Just as an acorn will grow into a mighty oak and a grape seed will become a vine heavy with fruit, everyone has potential. Insects and sabotage can endanger a crop, but one should not dedicate their lives to only eliminating pests. Growth is the key to survival, but it must not go unchecked. A tangle of too many plants will choke each other and all will die.
