On Trade Relations with Eurus
Posted by Aureth on 07/15/19
For a considerable time, we Arvani have engaged in trade with the Eurusi despite troubling aspects of their practices. We have turned a blind eye to their crimes against the gods, to heretical interpretations of our canon, to the cruelty of men and women forced into labor. We have enjoyed the benefits of those trade despite the fact that the very same traders with whom we exchanged goods profited from slavery, an abomination to the First Choice and to the Pantheon.
In light of recent events, the Faith can no longer stand silent against the practices of Eurus. Until such time as the Eurusi recognize the intrinsic value of the human soul and the anathema of slavery are recognized, trade with Eurus must fall under the interdict of the Faith. We cannot morally profit from an ugly economic tie to a traders who treat people as chattel.
It must stop.
As sworn Shepherd of the Faithful, I must light the way back to the path of the faithful where we have strayed. Traders who defy this ruling will face the grave disappointment of the Church, and all that this entails.
This embargo begins by my hand this 20th day of the 6th month of 1011.
