There is no one individual that represents the ultimate evil in the
[[Lithmorran]] religion. Instead, taint is the sole enemy. In the eyes of
both members of the [[The Holy Order of King Dav|Holy Order]] and layfolk alike, the Order exists to
protect the people from the foul taint of [[Sin and Atonement|sin]], of which magic is the
darkest manifestation. The [[Lord of the Springs]] has charged priests and
inquisitors with this holy duty to be the saviors of mankind.

Individuals that practice the taint of magic have the capacity to draw on
the power of demons to affect the world. It is believed that magic
progresses like a disease in tainted individuals. Any use of the taint
will inevitably lead to further corruption, eventually ending in evil and
madness. When the taint has progressed far enough that a person is able to
use their wicked powers, only fire can [[cleansing|cleanse]] the soul and make it
acceptable to the Lord of the Springs. At this stage, the fiery death is a
blessing and a mercy, for those who die uncleansed by fire will instead be
condemned to join their demonic masters in eternal torment.

The Order has strong evidence that magic is linked to the evil of demons,
beginning with ritualistic murder to attain the powers of magic and
continuing all the way to broken but undeniably real accounts of demon
summonings to grant a mage more power. Its effects on the world have been
shown to be negative time and time again, as mages who have progressed to
the furthest points of insanity have repeatedly killed and tormented
innocents; it is not hard to find reasons to subscribe to the Davite
worldview and oppose magery in all its forms.
