ConfessorAdalbert's face regains its familiar gentle expression. "Poison tongues may tirelessly belittle the Rogue Trader's honour, but all slander will turn to dust before Your Lordship/Ladyship's righteous devotion."
YOU"A strange rash broke out all over my body after my visit to the lower decks. Can you help me?"
ConfessorAdalbert carefully studies the inflamed blisters on your skin. "An affliction of the unclean, Your Lordship/Ladyship. Those who have abandoned His light and shunned all care of the body as well as the spirit. Allow me to cleanse your mortal flesh of the seeds of corruption with a sanative prayer."
YOU"Let us pray, Confessor."
ConfessorAdalbert opens a hefty volume titled "The Sanative Hymn of Sufferers" and recites the first forty verses in a chanting voice.
ConfessorTwo hours of incessant prayer later, despite your knees and shoulders burning with strain, your inflamed skin still torments you with unbearable itching.
YOU"Let us pray, Confessor."continues where this line first appears above

ConfessorThe vigil continues for two more hours straight. Your mind is clearer and you feel much better, but it is still not enough to rid you of the affliction.
Confessor"...and bless Thy loyal servant, so strength and health may return to the body that guards the borders of the Imperium..."

ConfessorAt some point the ship's evening gong breaks your stupor, and you note with surprise that your abscessed blisters are gone and your skin is now barely even red where it was previously inflamed.
ConfessorAdalbert dabs at the sweat on his brow with the edge of his robe and smiles warmly. "The God-Emperor never abandons His faithful, Your Lordship/Ladyship. Rest now. You will soon feel much better."

YOU"I need medicine, not a sermon."

YOU"A strange rash broke out all over my body after my visit to the lower decks. Can you help me?"continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Remind me, what is it you do on my ship?"
Confessor"I am the ship's confessor, Your Lordship/Ladyship. No vessel that abides by the Imperium's laws can sail the void without a spiritual guide. Even a smaller-sized ship that does not have a member of the Ecclesiarchy on board entrusts all matters of faith to a layperson who is a staunch adherent of the Creed. A Rogue Trader's flagship, naturally, is expected to have a confessor who comes from a line of His reverent servants. I am such a one."
Confessor"I am entrusted with caring for the reliquary chapel and the dynastic crypt. I also conduct liturgies, consecrate the ship's bays, and strengthen the crew's hearts whenever a dark hour is upon us, lest any among them falter in the face of the horrors lurking in the darkness, and fail in their duty."

Confessor"Alas, Your Lordship/Ladyship, I do not know of a way to open the locks on that particular receptacle without damaging its contents. One of the ship's confessors from days past sealed the reliquary well so as to bar anyone from taking the weapon. I suppose it was a desperate precautionary measure against thieves and heretics who would seek to lay their hands on the holy relic. I am sure there exists some impenetrable secret method of unlocking the reliquary, and if I only knew what it is, I would tell you right this moment."

YOU"The orphans on the ship have already been provided with the bare essentials, have they not?"
Confessor"Do you mean spiritual nourishment? It is ever in short supply. Those children who are literate could use new prayer books and hagiographies, for their own perusal and to read to the others."

Confessor"Every Rogue Trader takes care to maintain an appropriate place of repose on board their flagship. For their capital may change with the passing of centuries, but the vessel of the Emperor's anointed serves them for millennia. It is more than just a symbol of the dynasty's authority — it is the source of its power, the Lord Captain's seat in the void whence they reign over their many lands."
Confessor"The von Valancius crypt is where Rogue Traders and their most loyal servants are laid to rest. As the ship's confessor, I perform the rites of burial and remembrance for these honoured dead." Adalbert lets out a heavy sigh. "It never occurred to this old man that he might have to send Lady Theodora on her final journey, but... All is the Emperor's will."

YOU"No servant of the Ecclesiarchy would pass up the opportunity to visit this place."
Confessor"Blessed be the day when His/Her Reverence the archdeacon assumed the helm of House von Valancius. Perhaps you wish to honour this chapel with a sermon?"
YOU[Give an impassioned sermon] "Let my words become His flame!"
ConfessorYour words of duty and sacrifice ring out beneath the chapel's vaulted roof, leaving your listeners ecstatic. They start swearing sacred oaths before His image, professing remorse for their misdeeds, and depositing everything they have, down to the last throne, in the offering plate.
Confessor"The flock will forever preserve the words of Your Lordship/Ladyship's sermon in their hearts. Thank you for finding the time to take care of your subjects' souls in the midst of your countless labours."
YOU"No servant of the Ecclesiarchy would pass up the opportunity to visit this place."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"Is this the only place of worship on the ship?"
Confessor"Why, no, there are multiple sancta on every deck, where your subjects pray fervently and the clergy keeps a close watch on the firmness of their faith. This, on the other hand—" He gestures around at the glittering reliquary. "—is the holiest of holy places, where only the noblest among your servants are permitted to set foot."

I will arrange for commoners who have distinguished themselves in their service to be allowed in here. An event like that will fill them with fervour, and they will pass down the memory of what they have seen to their offspring."

Confessor"Every relic we have here was either arduously tracked down by your ancestors, captured in battle against the faithless, or received as a gift for glorious deeds. A show of loyalty to the Emperor that speaks for itself, does it not?" He makes no effort to conceal his pride. "For our part, we keep the precious relics intact and undisturbed as we conduct liturgies and perform rites. Initiate Ziek is especially diligent in his care for the relics. Though he is of common stock, he earned his position through dedication and piety."

ConfessorIn a voice brimming with solemnity, Adalbert begins, "Every man and woman has their place in the order He created, and this order must be followed and the will of one's superiors obeyed. Beware of witches, for they have been stained by the warp; persecute mutants, for they are perversions of the human form; and hate the accursed xenos."
YOU"The Imperial Creed prescribes being wary of psykers, but the Imperium needs them."
Confessor"I can understand. Having been touched by the powers of the warp yourself, you are pondering your own essence." Adalbert nods sympathetically.
Confessor"You are right. Without the Astropaths, we are deaf and blind, and there are many other psykers labouring for the good of Humanity. That is their place within the Emperor's design — but only those among them who accept His light and have been authorised."
YOU"The Imperial Creed prescribes being wary of psykers, but the Imperium needs them."continues where this line first appears above
YOU"The Ecclesiarchy tells us to persecute mutants, but an exception was made for Navigators."

His mirth fades, giving way to a pensive gravitas. "The truth is that my clan and I experienced great hardship. I cannot explain how it is I am standing before you now except by His will. How could one be anything but joyful knowing they were saved by the Emperor?"
YOU"What happened to your clan?"
Confessor"I was scarcely more than a child when the malady struck our cabins. First would come the fever, then the unlucky victim would start retching blood. After that, they would melt away like a candle. Only the youngest survived, myself among them." He smiles feebly. "But now my family is growing, and I am grateful for each new life that replaces one lost."
YOU"What happened to your clan?"continues where this line first appears above

Confessor"An accurate observation from a lord/lady who knows the importance of strong faith on his/her ship. The gentleness you speak of is skin-deep. On the inside, my faith and spirit are pure adamantine: decades instructing the crew in fighting the dangers of the void and the warp have required nothing less.

ConfessorAdalbert frowns. "Is Your Lordship/Ladyship quite certain of that? Unburden your soul. I am here to help you."
YOU"These rumours are baseless, Confessor. Trust me."
YOU[Pray with Adalbert] "I have things to repent."
Confessor"It is good to hear you say these words, Your Lordship/Ladyship. You have taken the first and most crucial step toward redemption."
ConfessorYou and Adalbert kneel in prayer together. He says softly, "And there is no such darkness as would not flee from His light. Nor is there a life better than one lived for His glory. For all strength and all grace comes from Him alone and by His will."

ConfessorConfessor Adalbert, a plump, rosy-cheeked old man, is lighting candles, taking his time with each. Glints of fire dance on his heavy golden Aquila and in his sky-blue eyes as he addresses you, smiling. "The Emperor protects, Your Lordship/Ladyship. Are you here to pray, or have mundane matters brought you to me?" There is an incredibly profound quality to his voice, and he speaks with mesmerising timbre.

ConfessorThe usually relaxed and genial Confessor Adalbert now exudes an aura of resolve and unperturbed calmness. "I have been waiting for Your Lordship/Ladyship, and now we are standing in the Emperor's presence again." His words are quiet, but have weight to them. "Your fame is growing, but so are the ill rumours. It would not be unthinkable for some to conclude that the Rogue Trader has turned away from the light. I, however, believe you are as loyal a servant of the Golden Throne as ever, and that you will soon dispel any doubt as to your righteousness."

ConfessorAdalbert nods deferentially, but his gaze is fixed on Marazhai. A furrow cuts across the confessor's brow, and he hastens to make a protective sign.
MarazhaiMarazhai idly stretches his neck. "One day I will grow tired of being stared at by the mon-keigh and start teaching them some respect."
