We have achieved a united humanity, not seen in hundreds of years, on our blessed land of Aevos. It is our home, and shall forever be remembered as such, though truth cannot be ignored, and it reads as follows; the founding home of our Empire will not last. Our triumphs over the daemonic origins that shaped this stretch of land have left it in a state of decay. It has never been in the hearts of men to accept such hopeless fates. As Emperor, it is my duty to shepherd humanity into a new age; and so it shall be done - as one people, as one Empire.</span></span></span></span></span></span>

The Imperial Prince of Absence - Johannes, though it has been a while, you shall recognize him by his semblance to me, I am sure. I pray he has built upon him muscle since last we spoke, some ten years ago. You will find Joan as well.

Again shall my family be united, and eagerly shall I await your return, Carolus.</span></span></span></span></span></span>
