Catalogue Note
"Here people surrender to their senses. Here all set their hopes upon faith... They will put it down to the supernatural. Having been purified and blessed they may live their lives henceforth... This is not a sect or Masonry. This is neither a new church, nor alternative medicine. It is all of those things. Tired of ravages and the authority's inability to provide a new paradigm, loyal citizens cleanse themselves from filthiness." Shaarbek Amankul
