[b][i]Priscilla Brown[/i][/b]

As Priscilla spent her time discussing matters with Anat's Parents, there would be no distractions for the Spirit Anat himself had conjured up as it began narrating the backstory of the Church's current warden.

[i]Priscilla Brown was an anglicized Native American; english-speaking, english-thinking, fairly well-off yet somewhat afraid of having lost her way. She joined the Episcopalian Church to find her way, became a female priest and was good at it. She rose to become a will-worker, a Child of God, just like you, but more hopeful, more naive. Now she protects, protects those who cannot help themselves. And she has called you here, Anat Nesim, for we are in an unjust war.[/i]

[i]There are two factions of God's Children, each of whom believe they are doing what is best for the world, for [b]people[/b]. The Traditions are Priscilla's faction for now; they believe in mysticsm, miracles, and magic, as well as theories of science dismissed today by the consensus as 'obsolete'. They are united against the Technocracy, a group who once believed in making miracles and magic accessible to everyone using Science, in uplifting everyone into a level of respect, and in breaking the 'cage of mortal misery and supernatural predation' that binds those without the ability to will miracles into being. That was long ago, for them.[/I]

[i]For the Technocracy have lost their way. Their desire to keep the 'Sleepers' - mundane mortals - safe has been corrupted into a need for control. They seek to suppress belief in Magic and Miracles, in order to ensure that everything is known, that everything is safe, that the only wonder and imagination they permit is within their [b]paradigm[/b]. But the Traditions are not innocent either. Their desire to promote Magic and Miracles sometimes becomes a burning need to rule over the Sleepers and return the world into the dark ages of mortal misery and supernatural predation. That too, has to be avoided.[/i]

[i]Now, to instruct you on the Nine Spheres, the Nine Divisions of Reality...[/i]
