A sermon was given earlier today by a priest named Lucius and his assistant, Layn, in the streets of Lower in the name of Lord Ilmater. The attendance was fairly sizablee. After the long sermon, a small discussion group including the Ilmateri priest went off to the Crone and another small group of helpers assisted a dwarven woman named Breena in feeding the hungry.

The sermon was mostly about how the peoples of Sanctuary were "broken" with special emphasis on the "brokenness" made worse from the fact that they were trapped in the Underdark, surrounded and influenced by the various wicked races that live there. After this, many ideas on how to embrace Ilmater's healing and to help oneself in the process were given. The vice of pride was given longwinded and special attention as a common source of undesired behavior, followed by a strong emphasis on the importance of selflessness and the benefits it brings to both oneself and to others.

At the end, the priest made comments that dettached not only himself but the entire Ilmateri faith from the Beacon. In citing his own talks with the Beacon's manager, the popular Lowersman Winston, the priest made sure to tell the crowd that any recent criticisms of the faith would be entirely misdirected if put towards the Beacon, and any such critiques should instead be focused on himself and the faith, not the benevolent men of the Beacon, and that if anyone wished to speak about the odd remarks they should come to him.
