Blaming the Living

Never trust a Banisher, for even their name is a lie. Banishers are not the helpful agents trying to protect the rightful from the Devil.

They do not ban the evil spirits back to Hell, no! They make use of the most insidious and nefarious magic. Have you ever looked at their hands and forearms, decaying from the corruption of their black art? Have you ever read the despicable symbols they carve on the rings they always wear?

Banishers are not different from any sorcerer or witch or devil worshiper. And they lie to the face of the just! They do not ban the evil. They subdue and tame the immortal soul, tainted or pure, dead or alive. Through their fancy words, they transvestite the truth of the Lord. Essence, they say, and Residue, and Spectral Stains and Releasing and Closing. Lies! Lies! Lies! Do you know what they call a Blame? It is when they steal the soul of the rightful, before enslaving it for one of their many sinful activities.

So never trust a Banisher, since each time you make a deal with one of them, you may be the next they deprive of their eternal soul, if they decide to Blame you for any reason they choose.

From Naming the Enemy, by Fear-God Waterbury

Ugh, the things we gotta deal with when we’re banishers. It’s funny how one so dedicated to a specific portion of their faith can misconstrue what another does.

But maybe they are right in a sense.

As of right now, we don’t know what a Blame even is or how it works. With their arms though, it looks like they basically have black-out tattoos on their arms, not that their flesh is decaying. You see people with black ink going up their arms and all around their body on Instagram. It’s weird, I’m not a fan, but people do what they will and that’s fine.
