The Malediction of Longinus
- Our Working Version: The Malediction of Longinus (working version)
- Basic Overview: A history of Longinus’ life, from birth through damnation.
- "Longinus’ birth name is never revealed, as Longinus viewed his curse as a complete negation of his mortal nature. Instead, he is referred to variously as “the bastard childe,” “he who would become Longinus,” “the soldier,” and “the Devil’s scion,” among many other appellations in the text. The Malediction also implies that Longinus was not merely a Roman soldier in the wrong place at the wrong time, but rather predestined to strike Jesus due to an exceptionally debauched and sinful life. The book asserts that Longinus, prior to his Embrace, violated each of the Seven Deadly Sins in particularly egregious ways." (LS, pg. 50)
- The Malediction chronicles the life of Longinus from his birth, to the stabbing of Christ, to Vashishtael confronting Longinus outside Christ's tomb. That is a big span of time! The entire mortal life of Longinus, and the 33 years he spent wandering (LS, pg. 32) before he visited Christ's tomb.
The original version of the Malediction is from Morning Star. I'm working on spacing and sub-scripting right now for it. We can start having discussions on this once that's done. If I stop and you want to help, just follow the already-done stuff.

Man that was a pain in the ass! Okay, layout finished. I notated some errors in line #'s that I saw openly. I didn't check for grammar or spelling while I was going through. Feel free to do so. This hasn't been put into the "old english" format yet, obviously.
