[A transcription of a sermon given in Baldur's Gate in 1368DR.]
Bhaal can teach us about suffering. Please, hold your gasps, patient flock. I assure you there's a point to this unorthodox subject matter.
I'm sure you've heard the gathering rumours about the recently deposed Grand Duke-Elect Sarevok Anchev - they are true. He engineered the sickness within our nation's iron, he slaughtered Duke Eltan, and yes - he nearly set Baldur's Gate and Amn into a full-throated war against each other. All this for one whose name you should know with fear but nary speak - Bhaal. A murder most complete.
This is why our work is important, you noble tormented. Suffering must be balanced, alleviated, we must bear its lashings on our shoulders when we can. For if we do not, our Lord on the Rack's enemies will press upon it, and allow its weight to tip and crush the world as we know it into bloody pulp. These are our stakes, my suffering lambs. This is the rod our backs must bear.
