A Thesis On The Corruption Of Oren

[Thomas Aquinas 40]

A Thesis on Oren

What I am about to tell the world will be dangerous for me, and for any others that would wish to speak their minds. As such, I am publishing this name in secrecy, under the pen name, Thomas Aquinas. There is no real Thomas Aquinas, but from this point on, he shall represent the anonymity of those who wish to speak critical of corruption within Oren. Any who wish to truly have their works published anonymously may send them to me, and thus, if you are truly dedicated, will know where to find me.....

 

Oren, the kingdom of GOD. Oren was founded by house Horen, the same house which received GOD's first holy revelations. The holy kingdom has gone through many eras in it's existence, through many dynasties, through many wars. It is now, that it stands, at the end of an era, a hollow shell of it's former self. It's capital city has been moved, Felsen is hardly complete, with the leader of the NOC dying as well, the North prepares for rebellion, and the crownlands, under siege by bandits. But banditry is the least of Oren's concerns, the first most, is corruption.

Oren is not only corrupted politically, but spiritually as well, as filthy leaders who aim to remove power from the Church and hold it for their own come into power. One may ask how such leaders are ever given any power in the first place, the answer, is simple. The government is rotten and corrupt from the core. It no longer respects the Church, just as the lords it endorses do not. The Orenian government recently promoted Arthur Roswell to regent of Istria, even though this man is a clear liar, drew a weapon on his holiness the High Pontiff, attempted to arrest a priest without a warrant and accused him of corruption as his reason, destroyed his local church (built by Bishop Piers), slaughtered innocent citizens of the town of Alsace, worked with other liars who fabricated claims against another noble family of the same duchy, attempted to undermine the current dukes authority, and attempted to usurp the noble house De Sola. In light of all of this, the leader of Oren decided to promote him to such a position, all because of political corruption and his blatant spiritual corruption, allowing for Arthur Roswell to commit and be rewarded for such crimes.

As said in in scroll of Gospel

 “Thou standest before Me in the waters of Gamesh, Owyn, son of Godwin, son of Horen. And thy people cry for justice and for purity. Takest hold of this blade, for it is a symbol of holiness, and by it thou shalt cleanse man of sin. Now, fleest forth from this unholy imitation of My city, and go into the village of Rafal, and fast there for three days, and I shall augment thee on the third. And thou shalt go into the court of Harren in thy fineries, and recite thy ancestry, and serve as his seneschal, and soon purity will come"
Godfrey 4;7

GOD clearly states to Owyn that when the people of Horen cry for justice and purity, he must take his symbol of holiness, and cleanse man of sin. GOD also states that the city, as it not only suppresses the justice, but the purity of man, is unholy, and a mere imitation of what a city of GOD should appear as. As such it was his duty to take action, and in doing so, GOD would guide him to bring forth purity.

Thus, as Owyn lived in a time when Horen's children are oppressed by an impure and unjust government, so, are we at this time, oppressed by a spiritually impure and politically unjust government, and so, I call for the Church to make a stance on our government, in hopes that it shall press it to reform it's wicked ways!

Colin of Brelus sighs at the letter. Weary in his old age of the mans call to action.

 

Corruption is the root of politics. When a tree becomes infected, you must remove the sick branches in order to save the trunk. Yet this was never done, and now the tree is saturated from root to limb with corruption. I admire your zeal, but to have a true change, Oren needs a new champion that would represent God's will and have the power, and self control to enact it in government. Will you be the one to take on this burden? For true change to occur, a man must take a stand, and writing letters does little, especially when anonymous. Bring forth a new Horen, or Godfrey, to bring change. But no one is brave enough to carry that burden, so in corruption Oren will sit.

[Church of the Canon 230]

Everard shakes his head penning a response.

 

"By the grace of our Lord GOD we placed the Imperial Crown upon his Imperial Majesty's head. In no way is the rightfully crowned Emperor corrupt in the slightest. I would ask this 'Thomas Aquinas' to reveal himself and express his concerns in the light. Emperor John Frederick Horen is a just man whom would hear your concerns and take heart. Work with the Monarchy of Man, not against it."

 "Your holiness, I would agree, should it not be the express purpose for creating the following thesis that I took this pen name, and that even voicing such concerns could land my person in prison... or worse. I hereby deny speaking with Emperor in any form other than over such anonymous letters and theses. Furthermore, you have given me a few ideas on my next theses. Perhaps one on anonymity? Or whether an Emperor can truly be pure for all time, and can never become corrupt of heart or mind? In either case, by GOD's will, you will hopefully be able to expect further works."
