[A few hours after nightfall, the following note was pinned to a noticeboard in the outskirts that was being used to mercantile advertisements. The parchment is neat and clean, and the inky black script is simple and businesslike in manner.] [The back side of this parchment bears a carefully drawn insignia. A jawless skull backed by a purple sunburst gazes absently forward, providing a clear and wicked message for those who are familiar with the imagery...]

[A sinister looking man garbed in dark steel armor strode confidently into the western outskirts around noon today and placed a notice on the tree in front of the Lady's Rest inn. He made a short proclamation about finding safety and strength in Cyric, and then went on his way. Nothing about this man's dark appearance seemed to inspire hope, though his message is clear - Bearing the symbol of Cyric where it can be seen will have its benefits in the times to come. After his short message, he went on his way. Across the back of his cloak could be seen the prominently displayed symbol of a jawless skull backed by a purple sunburst...]

Dearly Beloved of Barovia,Be not deceived nor hopeless nor seek the comfort of false, monstrous "gods"--in truth, demons--that seek only your corruption.The blessed Sun is not dark, and only the misled whose eyes have been rotted from dwelling too long in the dung would preach this lie.The Sun of Dawn protects you from all manners of evil. It does not create evil so that in keeping such evil at bay it may claim wondrous miracles.If the Harbinger and his demon god would prove themselves worthy of fealty, let them destroy Liliacul Nergu, who terrorizes their own dominion of night and laughs at their claims to godhood.Otherwise, their boasts sound as empty as the passing of gas through the sewer tunnels they call home.Iridni Ren, Priestess of Pelor
[Beneath the notice rests another, shorter proclamation from the Church of Cyric. A white, jawless skull resting over a black sunburst is followed by a short bit of text]Let all see that when their God's fail, when hope is lost, even the most stalwart and mighty are not above groveling for the help of Cyric!ALL HAIL THE BLACK SKULL SUN!Spoiler: showQuoteDearly Beloved of Barovia,Be not deceived nor hopeless nor seek the comfort of false, monstrous "gods"--in truth, demons--that seek only your corruption.The blessed Sun is not dark, and only the misled whose eyes have been rotted from dwelling too long in the dung would preach this lie.The Sun of Dawn protects you from all manners of evil.
