Issue 27: The Temple of the Nine Divines, the largest religious organization in the Empire, has recently ruled the new dance, 'Sanguine's Mercy', to be sacrilegious. Some controversy has emerged as the church is enforcing this ban on its members, imprisoning attendies whom they catch performing the dance.

-"We can't stand for this!" Says a non-member Dunmer, "It is the state's job to enforce laws, not the church's! We must stop these people from doing these sorts of things, and lift such an oppressive ban!"

-An Imperial woman and regular attendent at the temple voices a different opinion, "These people signed up to be a part of the church, so they know the consequences of defying the rules. It would be a different matter if they were arresting non-members, but the people they're taking in are people activly a part of the church and knowingly breaking the rules."

-"Bah! All I ever hear about are these 'Nine Divines'," Says the leader of the obscure Temple of the Ten Divines, "I say these people have gained too much power and influence in individual people's lives. We should shut down their churches and arrest their leaders! That way, maybe we'd actually start to see some religious diversity here!"

-Your religious advisor, who also happens to be a chaplain in the Temple of the Nine Divines, speaks while eyeing the others in your palace suspiciously, "Look at all these-these... Heretics! It is an afront that they've survived this long. we must establish our temple as the state religion, and force every resident of the country to convert! We would be the center of the religous world, that much is certain, and we could operate knowing that everyone around us believes in the correct religion."
