CooldownOnce per character
Two of your [nobles] have lately been causing a stir in the camp with their irreverent religious preaching. They propound that this world is a illusion, created by a being called the Demiurge for its own amusement, and humans are but game-pieces. You think this may be the Marcorionist doctrine, declared heretical by the imperial Senate some years ago. It is clearly disturbing your more traditional-minded troops and is probably also not good for your party's reputation.
