Legate's Passing
Posted by Cassandra on 01/04/18
It is with a heavy heart that we recognize the passing of the Sword of the Fatih. Legate Guiscard's service to the Faith and the Compact was a long and storied one, including his time as Grandmaster of the Templars. In honor of his passing, the Knights of the Temple will hold vigil at the Shrine of Gloria and keep the bonfire lit for him. Those who have stories to tell of the Legate should attend and burn a candle for him while speaking their memory of the late Guiscard Blanchard.
As was his way, as is our way, the Knights of the Temple will not falter because one of us has fallen. Our duties, our preparations, and our services to you continue. We do this to honor Legate Guiscard; we do this honor those who bore the title Sword of the Fatih before him; we do this to honor those who will bear it after.
When it is time for his burial, we will line the streets and send the Legate off with a proper salute to the afterlife. Join us for the ceremony if you so choose.
Cassandra Laurent, Archlector of Gloria
