But beyond that we believe in the Goddess Faust, also known as the Goddess of Harmony. The Church of Faust is the official name of the religion and the church. The core beliefs of our religion are those of peace, liberty, equality, and harmony;harmony being defined as a state of total and utter peace where no problems exist. We constantly strive as a nation and peoples to work towards the ideals, and we have successfully achieved much of it. Poverty has been eradicated, crime is so low as to be irrelevant, and most of our nation lives relatively happy lives. We also believe it should be the goals of all followers of Faust to help not just their own, but all nations of the universe. Since most of what we have done was accomplished through magic, we grant to species willing to prove they are capable of using it and are trustworthy. We have only granted it to one, but as soon as preparations for the spell are finished we shall grant it to are Saratine.” said Trenderhoof. Pock turned towards the human diplomat and also spoke to him. “Much of what the Equestrians say is true, and they have done their best to work towards the ideals they have mentioned. When we made first contact with the Equestrians bad harvests on our agricultural worlds left many of our outer colony worlds in famine. It was only by their assistance that the people their survived, and as well as aid from Equestrian doctors keeping the population healthy. We have the Equestrians to thank for much of this stability and prosperity we have now.” finished Pock. It was that Trenderhoof began to speak again, but was interrupted by a member of the Equestrian’s diplomatic party. This particular member was bipedal, a member of one of the two bipedal races The alien stepped towards the human diplomat and spoke. “I am a seraphram, before we met the Equestrians we had been enslaved. Our slavers, the Tygochan, destroyed our formerly beautiful worlds. They became polluted hell holes, and we were worked to death. They destroyed much of our artwork, our culture. But when the Equestrians came… they could not stand for the travesties the Tygochan had committed. They went to war to liberate our peoples. As they reclaimed our worlds, they used their magic to make them whole again, restoring them to their former beauty. They gave us magic, and we gladly joined them. We rose greater than we ever could with the help of the Equestrians.” said the Seraphram, stepping back into the party. “Anything else you would like to ask?” questioned Trenderhoof, speaking to the terran diplomat.
