The public saw this week exactly how the Solarium was enforcing the oath it requires Pralls to take before entering the city. On the 21st a Prall approached Jamil Daf, a flower arranger on Verbil Street. After a brief exchange the prall was seen to gesture angrily and then burst into flames. No one was injured during this unprecedented immolation. Afterward the body was examined by the Solarium and tossed into a refuse bin.The Solariums behavior here raises some grave concerns with this reporter. What power are they wielding that breaking a promise to them causes you to burst into flames? To what purposed to they intend to put it beyond keeping pralls from accosing our citizens? Will the Solarium be responsible if property is damaged or someone is actually hurt?
We made inquiries and a prall told us the wording to the decleration that each prall is made to recite before being allowed entrance to our city:
While within the city of Centralia I promise to obey the tenants of Ra and to do as his priests instruct me. I will not harm or speak angrily to any citizen of Centralia. I will speak to no one of this oath and will forget it upon leaving the city.Interestingly we didn't have to pay for this information as our informant blew up soon after.Beware Citizens, no one knows where this may end!
Is our City under attack? The Solarium believes that it is. In a speach given by Leader Prem earlier this week, Prem outlined how this was an important time for our City. That forces were alligned against us and that we must take measures to protect ourselves and our destiny. The threats to our city range from the poor moral fiber of our populace to direct external threats involving invading armies.Are these threats real or dillusions from a paranoid priest who has somehow gained a following? Lets look at the facts.
The Lords of Centralia, who have guided and protected our society for centuries, have all but abandoned us. Of the few that we believe remain no one has heard from them in weeks. The parties have stopped.
The Erection of Scrogg, known refuge for those seeking to engage in carnal activities has vanished... the whole temple!
The majority of our Enclave left on a mission to audit the borders and report back on activity. They have not returned. A search party has been sent. Magical means of communication have failed.
Pralls were starting to rise up... only to discover that to rise too high is to catch fire from the sun.
These are facts. Certainly there are some tremendous events here, perhaps even unprecendented. However does it all add up to we are under attack?
In the latest move to secure our city, Leader Prem has ordered that all servents from Pregada be issued papers allowing them to enter and leave the city at will. In theory this is to keep terrorists from entering the city under the guise of a servent. The reality? Who knows... what we do know is that tourism is dropping (then again who needs the corruption of new ideas and news?) and the city the Solarium claims to be protecting is gaining a reputation as a place to avoid.
The group of priests from the Enclave that left several weeks ago to do a routine tour of our borders has dissapeared. No word has been received from them since a few days after their departure.The Enclave has dispatched a search party made up of priests and volunteers.
