The Church of Lavai (with an exclusive interview of Viriskali, Prophet of Lavai)

The Church of Lavai is a relatively newly announced religion. The Church focuses on the worship of one deity, Lavai.

Interview with Viriskali

Aqua: What is Lavaism?

Viriskali: Lavaism is the worship of Lavai, known as He Who Devours. He is the god of fire and consumption.

Aqua: Could you tell us a bit about the tenets of Lavaism?

Viriskali: As far as tenets go, our biggest belief is that Lavai fosters hungers within each individual to drive them towards greatness. If the desires of two individuals come into conflict, the one who has the greater hunger, who strives more to see his desire accomplished is the one who wins and the one who Lavai blesses.

Aqua: How many nations/people are worshippers of Lavai?

Viriskali: There are two nations that have taken Lavaism as their official state sponsored religion, the UOS and Iudea. As far as individual worshippers, not including the citizens of those two nations, a conservative estimate would be Six, and those Six members are all an active member in the ministry of Lavai and are currently or will be overseeing a church in a nation that allows us to place a priest in one of their cities! Our acolyte training program is burgeoning and has seen much success since its inception.

Aqua: What kind of things does the Church of Lavai intend to accomplish?

Viriskali: The Church of Lavai wishes to see the people of CivEx become the great leaders they are supposed to be, to see the strong eliminate the weak.

Aqua: What are your personal thoughts on other religions, like Cubism or Davism?

Viriskali: As far as my personal thoughts on the other big two religions Cubism and Daveism goes, I respect greatly the ability of their founders to build lore. The interactions I have had with both of them have always been respectful. We may disagree on the correct faith of CivEx but we have thus far been able to coexist peacefully. I hope this continues.

Aqua: Why do you think people should convert to Lavaism?

Viriskali: If you wish to see a world you had a hand in shaping, if you want to have might, wealth, and power, if you wish to feed your hunger for glory, join the Church of Lavai.

Aqua: What are the opinions of the Church of Lavaism on other nations, now that you have joined up with the UOS?

Viriskali: Our opinions on other nations, and our international policies have not changed.

Aqua: What do you think of people who do not take up other religions (atheists)?

Viriskali: In regards to those who ignore their place in the greater picture of things, I feel nothing but pity and sadness. Lavai wishes to turn you into lions who throw off the chains of their captors, to see your oppressors consumed by the very ground they stand on. Form covenant with him, and watch your enemies’ flesh rended from their very bones.

Aqua: What do you think of the individual claiming Lavai is a false deity?

Viriskali: This false prophet seems to be very misguided on who the Church of Lavai is. At this point he/she is excommunicated from the church and they are beset by the teeth of Lavai. We will see this false prophet consumed.

Aqua: In your opinion, which religion is the most extreme?

Viriskali: If by extreme you mean who has the most zeal for their god, the answer is the Church of Lavai! We hope to see the entire world engulfed by his glory.

The Circadian Observer would like to thank Viriskali, Prophet of Lavai, for participating in this interview, and expects great things to come out of the Church of Lavai.

15d Bounty by Republic of Mandis

The Republic of Mandis has recently announced a 15 diamond bounty on an individual suspected of murder and theft. Also, a recent member of the Church o Lavai, CaptainUltima, was called in for questioning, before the Prophet of Lavai, Viriskali, issued an apology for his actions.

BodaciousWhale, suspected of murdering Mandis’s horses, and destroying large plots of carrot farms, has a 15d bounty on their head. When asked if they believed BodaciousWhale was a member of the anarchist ‘Wave 2’ group, conman577 of Mandis told our reporter, “I can imagine they are, recruitment posts usually bring in some bad eggs”. When interviewed ingame, CaptainUltima stated “I truly regret what I did, as seen by me replanting and replacing most things [destroyed]”. CaptainUltima further told the reporter he did not have any relations with Wave 2, however came in contact with their signs. He said that he was starving, and needed the food. Additionally, he also says he has no connections with the second grief. In fact, he seemed quite sincere in his remorse and was genuinely shocked when he learned that Mandis was attacked by another person.

Flowers for the holiday

Recently in the United Occidental States, Bush_Did_It has opened a flower shop, selling flowers from all across the known world. The flower shop offers free deliveries, and free shipping, accepting any form of payment.

Mercenaries?

Not long ago, a PMC group, led by fireboyx claimed to be part of a PvP group for hire, known as the 25th Infantry Division. They claim to have 15 members.

our only payment is that you supply us with the gear we need to fight our enemies!

This mercenary group has been met with criticism, as due to the server’s Dedication plugin, they cannot PvP immediately. Additionally, the outkast of the Metepec Empire has come out to condemn them.

You will be pearled on sight if you enter Metepec territory. We do not condone the use of mercenaries.

EranVonBaron Bountied and Pearled

Although it has not been made clear, EranVonBaron was claimed to have had a recipe for Kuren Sake, according to MasterOfParadox, who placed a three diamond bounty on him. Following the bounty, the Metepec Empire added on to the bounty raising it to 403d, and Burnabu added 50 diamonds so the final bounty was 453d.

Around an hour after the bounty, EranVonBaron released a message on Reddit saying he would award anyone who released him from his pearl with the Kuren Sake recipe.

The UOS, Baron’s nation has not commented yet.

Arcation offers 6ix peace terms

One of the most bitter conflicts seen so far, the Arcation v. 6ix war may be drawing to a close. Peace terms have been offered by Walkers, Arcation’s Head of Foreign Affairs. If accepted, the terms will result in the release of all captured Six members.

To end the war, Arcation demands 32 diamond blocks as war reparations, along with a peace treaty between Arcation and any potential successor of Six. In return, Arcation would free Six members RogueX7, sweeks131, ItsCookieMonster, and savage orange.
