"In order to understand the Church, and the powers its faithful wield, you need to understand where that power comes from," Ignatious said, momentarily feeling as though the sands of time had flowed in reverse and he was once again standing before a room full of initiates, hanging on his every word as he preached the scripture of the Inquisition.
Only the words he came to share tonight were the furthest things from scripture imaginable, and the Church would see him burned at the stake as a heretic for preaching them even if he weren't already a vampire.
"There are three fundamental sources of power in this world," Ignatious explained. "Or rather, three types of sources. In the Eldritch world, the first are called 'Children of the Earth', and the greatest of them, the ultimate source of the power of witchcraft, are called Earth Mothers, or Fathers."
