My brothers and sisters,
I have spoken with our God Asuzak, and he has shown me the way to ascension. I shall detail what he has taught me, and this will henceforth be our aims.
- According to the words spoken by Asuzak, our lord, the language of English is a tool used by the great demon known as Qrtiyu to spread wrongdoing and sin among the people.
- To stop the spread of sin, Asuzak has commanded us to create a device capable of getting rid of Qrtiyu's tool.
- Once finished, Asuzak has commanded that we spread it among the people to erase their sins and weaken Qrtiyu.
- Once everyone has been cleansed of their sin, Asuzak has commanded that we use the device on ourselves to finish the ceremony and destroy Qrtiyu once and for all.
- After the ceremony is complete, Asuzak will permit us to rise, and we will rule alongside him for a better future of humanity.
We must band together as one as the ceremony begins. We will send our messengers. We will create more devices. Together, we will stop Qrtiyu.
Praise be to Asuzak.
