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.”
Helps keep the prisons from being overcrowded.
ReplyDeleteIt's one way :)
DeleteFantastic again. May I ask who does the prisoners?

DeleteThank you! Oh, I have that very issue from my phone too!
