Temple, The: Torture

Cleansing Flame: Torture

Original: The background story for the Temple all together is amazing and will be very fun to roleplay, but there was one problem that i found with it. The mission of the Templars and Confessors of the Flame is to destroy the "lesser" races correct? After the turning, however, no one can die. It would seem to me that their job was one of infinite uselessness then, because they weren't actually killing anyone for good, and would never be able to rid the world of any of the other races.

Maybe this has been covered already, but i couldn't find anything and thought it odd...

Answer: The starving scavengers notion is not that far off...

If you notice at the end of the Confessor story, he's well aware that his prisoner will respawn after they burn him. That's fine - the Templars will be waiting there to scoop him up, and we just get to ride the ride again. The Temple wants to get all the weak and evil beings to stop their wickedness and sin, and to admit their errors and inferiority. I admit, its not a realistic goal, but they do enjoy their work...

Also, the way I figure it, the Temple is operating under the assumption that "if we kill them enough times, the All-Father will notice and return." How much is enough? Well, we obviously haven't hit that point yet.

Nothing to do but kill them all again.

Aren't self-perpetuating fanatical ideologies fun?
