    In what hue of heart does one long to turn their backs upon the world of men? My faith is committed to the gods, and increasingly less in mankind in whole. Which masks harbor demons, either by make of the Abyss or our own earthly forge? Is this how one's heart becomes brittle, spending too much of it on withering hope and politics?
    I long to shake up this feeling in me, tear it right out. I shall peel off my silks and revel tonight, let feeling burn bright in my breast and liquor burn sharp upon my tongue. I shall have my fun, gods willing.

On occasion someone will either have the money to spend on themselves or for their greatest and most loyal champions. I see no issue in rewarding someone with tools in which to do better perform their duties.
That said, this rumor going about that every Templar is getting a diamondplate weapon is hyperbolic nonsense and deserves no credence.

I personally hope for guidance from the Lectors and Archlectors who have the most insight as to the rightness and justification of the Dominus' actions, as only the Faith may truly guide the faithful -- including the Dominus himself.

“Mine the mauve blossom, and mine the leaves’ will,
Mine the lea’s guard, and mine the deep shade,
I claim them all within the deep glade.”
“Mine,” said the pine, knotty and tall,
“Mine the wood cone, and mine the green pall,
Mine the rough bark, and mine needle’s blade,
Will them I so, here in the deep glade.”
“Mine,” said the bloom entwining his limbs,
“Mine your deep strength, and mine your cold hymns,
Mine your deep roots, and mine the rage weighed,
Always within you, here in the deep glade.”
“Mine,” said the pine, protecting the bloom
“Mine your dark fruit, and mine your rich womb,
Mine your fierce soul, and mine your price paid.
Be mine forever, here in the deep glade.”
“Mine,” said the flower, and “Mine,” said the pine.
“Mine, I am yours, and you, you are mine.
Mine and unbroken, these oaths that we trade,
Yours always and ever, here in the deep glade.”

Let us pretend for a moment that a Duke has just been challenged to a duel to the death. Would it be circumspect or wasteful for that Duke to outfit his Champion to the best of their ability whether they were correct or incorrect in their statements and actions?
Perhaps if this question were asked before proclamations were made, it may have very well carried more weight. My axe to grind (pun intended) is with the accusation of embezzlement and waste. It is not only an ill-informed accusation, but blatantly false.

Even most of my noble clients haven't been willing to pay that for their own blade! And this is for /all/ the Templars?
That's... that's so much.
Maybe I should be asking the Faith to fund experiments into alaricite alloys, instead of nobles...

Alternately, I look forward when the Faith plans on contracting diamondplate for all of the Templars who must defend us from the darkness. I'm sure that Seaborn Weaponry will do work equally as fine for each of them. Felix does beautiful work.

This will, of course, mean that I may only be selling anything above high quality steel to Captain Audric. Hello, Audric.
We are meant to believe that a man's private written thoughts are indicative of action. If the Dominus thought that everything supernatural was just 'hogwash', then why would he take such a large sum of money to arm one of the Faith's Templars with a weapon that has more effect on the darkness we fight? Which is it? Is the Dominus a faithless non-believer or wasteful and extravagant for providing a Templar with silver necessary to get himself a weapon more effective against what we've deemed as supernatural threat? I am no barrister, but...it seems like a barrister is unnecessary to pick apart these accusations being leveled against the Faith. It smacks of petty desperation.

Felix is a smith of both faith and honor: his effort and work was respected and the fees he rightly owed for commission, he halved. This was done without any request or pressure from this: this was a pure act of Faith and honor on his part.
Let it be known: Felix is a man of great honor and faith. He knows the dangers we stand against: and he does not seek to profit from them.
The Faith of the Pantheon preserve us, hold us, and lift us. Amen.
