Volume 10: Thunderous Movements and Winds Rising, Chapter 5: Testing the Waters

"Xerob, the Great Dark Envoy, it seems you have forgotten something. I once mentioned that the Caucasus falls under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Nicosia, and any violations against kingdom laws and prohibitions will not be permitted.

As for the reasonability and legitimacy of the teachings of the Great Mysterium Sect you speak of, I believe that requires proof through time and practice. Even as the Lord of this region, I am not familiar with your sect. How could I defy the kingdom's prohibition to allow you to preach here?"
