that's what Lord Asriel's army sets out to do.

Does Lord Asriel's army set out to kill the magesterium?
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I just saw th movie and am newly interested and intend to read the books, right now I'm just an obssesed Harry Potter fan.

Lord Asriel sets out to kill the Authority(God) in the Subtle Knife.

yeah sorry i didn't read the second book when I posted this and I figured it was supposed to be in the first book.

But i thought Lord Asriel wanted to kill everyone on the magesterium? and supposedly god?
