The crowd erupted in cheers that resembled a sea roaring.
Landon was in tears, nearly driven to ruin by Hardy, Rahman's subordinate.
"In the name of the Holy Fire, you punish no villains, yet the Lord of the Heretics gives us justice."
"Since this is the case, from today, I shall no longer worship the Holy Fire. In this cathedral before me, I shall be baptized and converted."
Many made the same decision as Landon.
That day, numerous converts came forth, though many were motivated by promises of new faith and land distribution.
