Sectarian
• \seck-TAIR-ee-un\ • Adjective - 1: of, relating to, or characteristic of a
sect or sectarian 2: limited in character or scope: parochial.
“Dernubus
was left-handed, you dolt,” roared the black clad Barnoosian monk to his white
swathed antagonist. “You blathering idiot, he was right handed,” came the
withering response. “Known as the “Back Handed Sacrament,” the argument about
the preferential hand of the Antares’ star cluster deity would rage for
centuries. Only when Carbanth ‘The Wise’ was elevated to chief priest was the
sectarian violence quelled. Carbanth had experienced a vision which made the
argument moot: “Dernubus was ambidextrous,” he proclaimed.
