The Inn would further buckle under the stream of notes pouring over it.
Addressing things that need addressing.
Let me make it clear. This is not aimed against the Emperor. He has not claimed divinity, he has not asked for this temple. He is the ruler of the Empire, and those who hope to find in me an ally in rebellion will find only disappointment and death. I have fought for the Empire on several occasions, and will do so again if needed.
Regarding accepting the temple as simply an honorific to Stormbringer as Emperor. It is not that. Temples are not built for Emperors. If Tehya had wished to build a thousand golden statues honouring the Empror, I would not have the slightest problem. But to worship him as a god is a lie. And speaking a lie of someone is never honouring them. It is simply deceitful flattery, empty and sycophantic. Should one seek to compose a song praising me for a thing I had never done, or as something I am not, I would not appreciate it either. So no, a temple to Stormbringer gives only flattery, not honour.
And of course, to put Stormbringer equal with gods, even ABOVE some of them, is an insult to all gods, including mine. I cannot let this go unanswered, any more than other insults to Sheara's name.
Those who consider donating, should keep in mind that I consider such a donation to be taking part in insulting the gods. And I have spoken around. There are many who share my disgust, and you may find there are consequences to paying coin to allow Tehya to spit in the face of the heavens.
And consider this. Today, she claims Stormbringer is greater than Ishtar. Which god will she next dream is subservient to her fake god? Kirva? Aden Ver? Gaea The elven pantheon? Already Tehya, in conversation with me showed contempt for Gaea, asking 'where she was' during the culmination of the K'sir wars years ago. Tehya holds the gods in contempt. And she is insulting the gods with this. We cannot rest idle and let this happen.
