How are those ghosts now Teysa?
Over the past seven years it has been necessary to replace some of the more obstinate members of the Council with those who exhibit a more admirable degree of loyalty and flexibility. Unfortunately this has led to an inevitable decline in some of the virtues traditionally associated with Consiliar status. The Church is adapting to these changes by reëvaluating the role played by various institutional actors. We hope that the further transfer of night-to-night responsibilities (pontifical appointments, finances, doctrine, &c.) to the Office of the Envoy will continue to allow the OZD to focus more deeply upon its spiritual mission.
There’s a popular joke that the Orzhov wash and perfume themselves with Selesnya tears, though in some versions of the stories it’s Rakdos tears or Gruul tears. This is, of course, calumny. A true Orzhov would never soil herself with so readily available a substance.

I suppose they may have a dull sense of belonging and pleasure. It’s very difficult to tell what lies behind those vacant eyes sometimes.
We think you confuse vacancy for seeing through the eyes of many at once. Perhaps it should be expected from someone who condones vacancy of life.
Life is but the childhood of the soul. I understand the wish to remain stunted, sing songs in the sunlight, be protected and painless forever; all children hold it. But in our preparatory institutions we beat it out of them, administering medicine they’ll be thankful for in wiser years, even as your evangels exploit it to entrap the city in spiritual infancy forever. We are wise to your designs, tree, but we shall rear the soul to the blossom of its fullness yet.

Mind Rot by Yeong-Hao Han
Observation: Here we see the illustrious Pontiff performing an Extreme Absolution, or Memory Cleansing as seen in Black Night Meditations Chapter 4.
Such Absolution are used in cases of extreme sin. The telltale effect off this spell, the hallowed out skull cavity, is temporary and, once the spell is completed, will leave a dull red mark on the top of the devotee’s head.
For more information please see the Orzhova Academy Libraries.
The Pontificate of Blight denies any charges that it consumes the brains of the Absolutely Absolved or that there is a flourishing Swarm-Syndicate-Combine brain market. Zombies they may be, but regardless of vivatory status a true Orzhov limits herself to the rarest delicacies. As such, the Blighted College subsists entirely off of Selesnya, Gruul, and Rakdos brains.

Okay so before anyone gets all huffy and yells at me for “begging for money”, I’m gonna come out and say I do not want you to feel I am asking for money.
The button is there for people that wish for to give money for me to create better content, by buying equipment like a camera and microphone, or eventually a new computer, etc.
This all ties into my desire to fund-raise for charity as well.
What happens to your money if you donate: It will be put aside in a separate fund and not touched by me until I have enough for a needed piece of equipment.
Again, seriously, don’t bitch at me for “begging for money”, I see it happen all too often and if anyone does, I’m turning off anonymous asks and blocking anybody who chooses to harass me over it.
Thanks for your time.
Ain’t no shame in that game, kid, but I recommend being able to give your benefactors something in return. If you’re really cheap you could, say, make up a problem that can’t be observed, then promise to cure them of it if they donate enough money.
Just speaking hypothetically, of course.

Corporate social media accounts just remind me of this:
Ha ha ha! That is a real great “meme,” Unquiet Pirate! Did you know that Orzhov Syndicate likes memes too? Well, now you can twat our memes to your Facetome! LOL! Retoot if you love prevenient grace! <+;-)
