The Festival of Christophorus - Dia Exsolutum

Excerpt from Esoteric Pilgrimage Destinations of the Gothic Sector, Volume 7, by Adept Matthias Laetorius.
 

"The eighth day of the Festival of Christophorus is ‘Dia Exsolutum’.  Saint Christophorus’s fragmentary writings include a phrase- ‘may the cages be opened’. 

 

 


 On this day, the penitent cages across the planet are opened and the prisoners are redistributed. Contrite prisoners that commited minor crimes are released. The most egregious or unrepentant offenders are sentenced to arco-flagellation, or internment in a penitent engine. If there is an excess of penitents, the Imperial Navy is often on hand to take on ‘recruits’. Although the penitents are offenders of Ministorum laws, the Adeptus Arbites provide oversight of the potentially dangerous process.”
