Xiuposi's Letter to the Mownahan

== Introduction: ==
In [week 36], the Mownahan—the first to be referred to as an individual since before the Eyroda Pact War—continued to disperse and dissuade followers of Sikerana, and many have decried these overly heavy-handed policies. While violence had yet to occur, the seemingly unjust escalation of aggression from the Mownahan lead the prominent Sikeranic preacher Xiuposi to make a public declaration in Mownaþali.
== The Letter ==
=== English ===
O Mownahan,
I write on behalf of all who value cooperation and unity. I write as a fellow person of faith and scholar. I write to question why you have come to detest us so.
We, faithful followers of Sikerana, have preached nothing that offends traditional Sahnahwul teachings. We have respected the ways of our ancestors and taught the wonders of the stars. We have demonstrated nothing but respect for the institutions of Gwanoi and its leadership, yet you persist in your persecution of anything which does not conform to your doctrines.
Perhaps Sikerana threatens you—as much as a person returned to the Heavens can be a threat—because you believe yourself the one and only capable of such miracles. But I must remind you that while you hold the title and the office of Mownahan Ap, not you, nor any Mownahan since has ever demonstrated such a remarkable ability to steady the minds of people or lead them.
Sikerana was not Mownahan. Sikerana was not even Sahnahwul. That Sikerana was capable of miracles and of touching the soul of so many, offends you. But Mownahan Ap was not Mownahan when he led the Sahnavey to Gwanoi. Sahnahwula had many forms those years ago, and one could call oneself that without studying at Baranberok.
Your continued attacks on us will no longer be tolerated. We will not allow the Sahnahwula to bar us from the temples, nor chase us out of the gardens, nor lock thed oors of the libraries to us.
Your continued persecution of us only displays your weakness.
Xiuposi

== Response ==
Before even finishing the letter, the Mownahan tore the letter into pieces and tossed it into a nearby fireplace. Enraged that these so called Sikeranists would dare defy the ways of old, the Mownahan immediately convened a council of Sahnawhula to discuss and debate the issue at hand. This council was in no way fair. The high priests were loyal to a fault and shared the Mownahan's disapproval of Xiuposi and their followers.
The debate ended within an hour. This was highly unusual for religious debates which were known to last days. Within the day, the Mownahan issued a decree:O heretics,In the coming days, set districts and towns will be permitted to follow the foul ways of Sikerana. By end of week, any Sahnaveya openly worshipping these foul ways in non-permitted areas will be presented with a choice: Exile, lifelong servitude, or the sword. Be grateful that you are allowed this choice. Continuing to disrespect the authority of the Mownahan and the Sahnahwula, and fracturing the realm is a crime against the Sahnaveya.In return, the Kenem haSikarana, though still defiant, largely obeyed the law. As angry as Xiuposi was, he advised the followers of Sikerana to maintain peace, and defeat the Mownahan not with violence, but by rising above their petty intolerance. To the Mownahan's credit, the tolerance shown to the Kenem haSikerana allowed continued pilgrimages to enter Gwanoi. This proved especially beneficial to the Simatalan haMaran at the Panhasimamaþ (University), many of whom had converted to Sikeranism.
