A letter is delivered by unmarked ravens to every major lord. Posted on every major door, during the night, it reads:
"We have been deceived. The Seven have been offended. Ife we continue, we will face a doom.
During the recent 'trial', atrocities have been made against both justice and faith. This trial was void of judgement.
Last night, with no prior inclination to the result of the trial, a vision came, and showed to me the anger of the Seven, and the cruel grip of a monstrous black god of death.
In this trial, there were those who fought on both sides who were not of the faith, and therefore, the Seven had turned their backs on this insult. Dornish, who worship the Rhoynar; Ironborn, who worship the Drowned God, and a foreigner, who's gods are as unknown to us as the consequence of this offence. Osney Santagar, Lord Bannen Blacktyde, Lord Nors Nettly, Ipithius Tides.
Even if one of these men had participated, the trial would have meant immediately been nullified of purpose.
This is an insult to the Seven.
No doubt in the absence of the Seven, and their judgement, none other than this black god, the Dead God, had reached up and grabbed hold of such vulnerabilities. His work is plain: The death of one of the more honourable and holy among us -- a man who devoted his life to the Seven, and their works. None other than our Holy Knight, Ser Charles Graceford. Struck down by a man, who's so black at heart, he would send mercenaries upon his own people -- innocent people, to rape, slaughter, and pillage. A man who is unjust, uncaring and unrighteous. King Rodrick Baratheon; who received nothing more than a scratch in this 'trial'.
I leave you with this, and the thought that so many men who follow the Seven, on both sides of the battle, perished senseless deaths, while a man of foreign nature, a man who does not take to our customs, or follow our faith, a man called Ipithius Tides, survived, barely injured.
The Seven had no hold in this. This was not a trial of faith, but a trial of blood.
