Basil von Vorugh

Basil von Vorugh was a mid-century priest and a victim of of the Aldaran persecutions during the reign of Aldara the Executioner.
== History ==
In the month following her accession, Aldara issued a proclamation that she would not compel any of her subjects to follow her religion, but by the end of 2 AK, leading monogamous clerics—including Tomascus Aldelius, Johnathus Poppeaus, Amalian Cinna, Basil von Vorugh, and Hugh Lasilius — were imprisoned. Any married priests or unchase priests were executed or imprisoned for suspicion of being adulterous.
Around 800 rich non-paganists, including Tomascus' daughter, fled into exile. Those who stayed and persisted in publicly proclaiming their beliefs became targets of heresy laws. The first executions occurred over five days in 3 AK: Josephus Aurelius, Laurent von Smorison. The imprisoned Grand Priest was forced to watch his brothers in arms be burned at the stake. He recanted, repudiated non-paganist theology, and rejoined the Yutemond pagan faith.
