View source for Velker Dariga

'''Velker Dariga''' was a preacher of the branch of [[Aspectism]].  He made a name for himself by travelling between settlements in [[Denkirn]].  This caught the attention of the Comerain diplomat '''TBA''', who thought his political beliefs might be politically useful in the Kingdom.  In a letter to King [[Faldonne Loxelain]], he said that Aspectism was quite similar to Monotheism.  Because of this, converting the polytheists of [[Comer]] to this branch could be a first step towards converting them to [[Pelorism]].  The [[Hillfort]] replied that this should go ahead, and Dariga was sent on the next ship to [[Comer]].

He did not receive a warm welcome.  On his first day in the capital, he went to the nearest [[Naturalist]] Circle to preach the word of the All-Faced Lord.  The worshipers went into a frenzy at his beliefs.  The presiding druid jested that he should get one lash for each god he denied.  The crowd took this literally and began taking turns giving him exactly 14 blows each.  One such rascal proposed that since their statue to [[Morrigahn]] had had its face chipped off in an accident, the servant of the All-Faced Lord should be more than willing to donate his own face to the cause.  In the time the crowd took to find a knife, local guards pulled Dariga to safety.

Dariga's presence was an outrage to druids throughout the [[Comerain Peninsula]].  Various circles petitioned the king to expel him as a heretic.  Others took offence at the government paying his passage.
