Patriotism. Piety. Humanity.

 

 

The Royal Chancery:

This following document was drafted by Matthias de Lyon on the 12th of Snow’s Maiden, 1500, to commemorate the rise of a new century under the banner of a recently reformed Oren. It was submitted to the Chancery for publishing, after its revision and assessment by His Honour, Publius Bracchus, and issued upon the 14th of Sun's Smile, 1504. Many copies are made for public consumption.

 

Matthias de Lyon on ‘Patriotism. Piety. Humanity’:

 

The birth of a new state, a new superpower, a new Oren, inaugurated in its God-given right to usher in the dawn of a new century under a recently-lofted banner, is not imputed to the work of a simple few high lords and noblemen, but rather upon the common work of Man as a whole.

 

There is one trait in particular that lifts Humanity above the dozens of lesser masses that oppose her at every corner: Faith. Whether it be in the state, or in God, the importance of our beliefs can never exaggerated. If Humanity were to abandon their faith in either - would the Creator’s favor, which we’ve worked so ardently to attain, be lost? Would we have ever vassalized the Elven peoples, or dominated the dwarf in their halls of stone? Oren is a blessing, maintained only by our diligence and faith.

 

In lands abroad, foreign warlords give gold and resources to immoral hoards of opportunistic mercenaries. In Oren, there is no need for such endeavours; men fight not for pay, only for the honor of furthering Orenic goals. This principle is the foundation of the Common Man’s disposition. A fire burns bright within his heart and so he fulfills his role for Oren, and needs no further inspiration from coin. Is this not evidenced most vividly by the fact that since the rise of King Andrew, the descendants of Malin, once destroyed by St. Thomas of Gaekrin’s prophetic blade, have fallen to the quill of King Olivier while the Dwarven menace is left shattered by the fighting fervour of Orenic soldiery?

 

This fundamental patriotism, however, describes not only the warrior that risks his life on the field of battle, but also the man that toils in the field or in the mill for his liege lord. Where would our noble nation be without the men that make up our backbone?- providing food, armor, weapons, and materials in the name of progress and Orenic industry.

 

Patriotism is the  key to a unified Humanity.

 

However, it is not simply faith in the state that leads Humanity in the direction of overwhelming victory, but also the oft-performed worship of God. It is by His grace and guiding light that Humanity should remain unified against a common foe. Has not the success over Elvenkind eventuated under the reign of a man named Fidei Defensor for his achievements in the Canonist War; the only man other than the High Pontiff himself who is granted permission to call a crusade.

 

The success of Man is only amplified, assuredly, with this renewed faith in Him and His grace, as Humanity continues to place their imprint upon the world. The common Man finds hope not only in the arms of the state, but also in the arms of God.

 

Piety is the key to a unified Humanity.

 

A unified Humanity is the key to success.

Ronald is filled with Orenian pride as he reads this!

 

Ave Orenia!

Guy de Bar toils away within his tower, disseminating the thesis across Oren.

Maximus would read this, and beam with Orenic pride as he smiles the Sun's Smile knowing his brother had a hand in such work!

Verthaik makes a gagging noise.

Skippy leans back in his chair in Kal'Karaad and releases a semi-loud fart. He then gets beaten up by his fellow miners for releasing a nuke in the city.

Rhewen lets out a soft chuckle, he then goes back to hunting bears, simply not caring.

Basir sniffs. "The Orenian settlements are always empty and devoid of life when I pass through, Perhaps you should concentrate on bringing activity to your homeland before you set your gaze elswhere?

Matthias reads over the edited version of his work with pride, glad he is helping the Orenic state.

Menithrian shrugs at the propaganda, as he continues on his ideological exile. Not quite the Renaissance he'd seek, but entertaining, nonetheless. 

 

"Decent effort.. the seal seems real enough..." he says, poking at the wax.
