I like the juxtaposition a lot. The "mortification of flesh" angle is quite nice (I had to look the term up though :)). I think the fact that you cleanse others by killing them is enough to make it obviously nasty. It might be a bit puzzling, but as it does make sense in the end I think that's fine. "Others of order" is misleading because Makhleb accepts kills of non-orderly creatures, right? --Eino ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
