Messianic Voices

Messianic Voices

Sobriquet – The Blessed

If God became human for the good of mankind, could the Blessed Man not become like God?

Time stands still for no one. The oppressed of one age may become the mighty of another. So it was with the Messianic Voices. Once they were but one small note within a much larger chorus. Yet, their persistence and their faith in the Son of God proved capable of moving mountains. Whereas more respectable religious mages were consumed with their own private struggles, the Messianics grew stronger and their zeal spread like wildfire, winning an empire to the cause of Christ. Many are descendants of converted Jews and Romans during the time of the Apostles, but Blessed really came into power during the Crusades.

Oppressed no longer, the Messianic Voices shaped an entire culture with their songs of praise to God Almighty. More so than any other group of mages, they hold the Dark Medieval age in their hands—for good or for ill.

Initially, the faithful made few attempts to interact with other mages, believing them corrupted by evil and drawn to sin. In time they realized that they had to engage the world in order to win souls for Christ and his Church. As much as they feared the taint they might acquire as a result of entering the world that surrounded them, they also knew it was necessary to ensure the ultimate conclusion of God's plan for mankind.

There are some who believe exclusively in the power and might of God Almighty, and the sacrifice and power of the Blessed Virgin and Jesus Christ. However, there are some of this sect who believe in a more generic "One God", a being of supreme sovereignty that is beyond understanding.
