Kumo Crew warlord Archon Delaine unwittingly became the centre of a local religious dispute earlier this week. During their New Year conclave, a schism appeared within the priesthood of the ascetic Faithful Cult of Mannovalo on the meaning of a prophecy that may involve the pirate chieftain.
It seems Archon Delaine fits the description of a 300 year old prophecy describing a white-haired conqueror. A splinter group calling themselves the True Faithful Cult of Mannovalo claims that it is Delaine’s destiny to convert all Kumo vessels into generational colony ships and lead them to a new home in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This is counter to the orthodoxy promoted by the Righteous Faithful Cult of Mannovalo. They instead believe that the warlord will give away all his ill-gotten gains and become the new high priest of their pacifistic religion on Mannovalo 1.
This religious feud threatens the stability of the Mannovalo theocracy as planetside protests increase in intensity. The Kumo Crew has not issued any comment on the issue at the time of broadcast.
