Dear High Shepherd of Rad,
I have gathered all the facts and investigated the testimony of the adventurers. After, lengthy time with the group, divination and contact other planes; I believe the following could possibly be added to doctrine as the Gospel of Rad.
Forgive me, High Shepherd(ess) of Rad, as this will need polished and expanded by the Gospel:
First, as it is known, Rad ascended from this mortal existence. After Rad fought Ixion to a stand still. Then he stabilized the Radiance by transcending immortal existence and even viewed into the realm of the Beyond. He fall back to Mystara as a mortal to bring knowledge back to his flock. He followed in the path of an Old One but his sacrifice then fall allows others to be Lions instead of lambs.
Rad is showing Us even if you fall that you may raise again. Plus no matter how strong your opponent is you can succeed. We must dust ourselves off and follow in Rad's footsteps. Magic may be the path to enlightenment; however, you must still walk around roadblocks. The Days of Dread are just one those obstacles, created by Rad, to test not your magic but your mind and will to survive.
High Shepherd(ess) , please lead Rad's flock toward understanding and onward Beyond the Stars. Ready your staff, study your spells, and recite your mantras as Rad will lead the way.
Well, that is is the key highlights from everything we gathered. I used a Truth spell on myself and recited the statements with no sign of falsehood (stretching maybe). I also would like to apologize for my rambles it has been a long journey.
I will leave the doctrine choice to you, High Shepherd(ess) of Rad. I have sent all my notes and findings with this letter. Sorry, I must keep this short. I'm off to investigate dark matters near Skullhorn Pass it seems someone has been animated undead chickens and they are blocking the pass.
May Rad lead Your way,
33rd Inquisitor of Rad
