MEDAL TEXT:
On YC121.5.5, LUMEN and allies formed up to defend against one group of attackers, then ended up fighting against another group in New Eden and at the Promised Land gate. The Citadel held.
Awarded to all who participated in funding, prayer, logistics or combat.
"Revelations tells us of those dark times that You cast Your sight upon the realm and witnessed a cascade of evil, the torrents of war. That You burned with wrath, stepped down from the Heavens and judged the unworthy to redeem the pure. This day, redeem those who prove their purity, judge these unworthy souls on this field, and God bring upon us the power of Your Heaven on high to burn this evil until their fuel is spent. May these brothers and sisters be your sword, give them the surety to be a Light in the darkness, and deliver unto them rest when their works are done. May this day see our faith well, by Your Light and by Your Will."
- Archbishop Constantin Baracca, conclusion of sermon read on eve of battle.
LUNARISSE'S NOTES:
Recording of delivery of sermon before battle in the Farthest Light Chapel, Farthest Shore Citadel.
Lunarisse Aspenstar pulls out a peace of paper. "Archbiship Constantin Baracca could not come. He's offered a prayer for me to read." She looks at everyone. "If could pray, briefly?"
Lunarisse Aspenstar opens the paper and reads. "Oh God, bless those who came knowing the danger with courage, for these are troubling times. They who came to this place for peace and reflection and were driven away deserved not this intrusion. Agents of darkness fall upon us who know not the love of God nor the glory of the Communion of the Faith, but only to fill their lives with ISK. Their god is their currency, their brotherhood mere employment, and they believe they shall glorify both here today."
"And though our odds of preserving this place of peace are slim, those who stand here today do not do so solely to save it. They come today to send a message to that god, that his servants shall not be blessed so readily as those who found sanctuary here. They do not come to simply protect a place, they come to make these pirates bleed so profusely that they could never drink enough to pay for the damage they inflict.If ISK is the currency of their faith, they shall cut them to the soul for this sacrilege."
"Knowing they follow in the footsteps of Zakara, who said as he perished, that those who give their lives in these causes are brothers, and in God shall remain brothers for all of time. They do not end, who shall find their place in Heaven this day. God, take these brothers and sisters of ours safely to your kingdoms, promised us in fellowship, that they may know no fear in battle. You comfort us in darkness, oh God, bid us trust in You for eternity should we serve You all our days. In these hours of service, honor these brethren Your promises."
Lunarisse Aspenstar exhales and concludes: "Revelations tells us of those dark times that You cast Your sight upon the realm and witnessed a cascade of evil, the torrents of war. That You burned with wrath, stepped down from the Heavens and judged the unworthy to redeem the pure. This day, redeem those who prove their purity, judge these unworthy souls on this field, and God bring upon us the power of Your Heaven on high to burn this evil until their fuel is spent. May these brothers and sisters be your sword, give them the surety to be a Light in the darkness, and deliver unto them rest when their works are done. May this day see our faith well, by Your Light and by Your Will."
Lunarisse Aspenstar bows her head briefly as she concludes "By your light and your will" she repeats and slips the paper back into a pocket.
