THE OBSIDIAN CHRONICLE

 

FOUNDING

 

"For how can the ignorant teach others? How can the licentious make others modest? And how can the impure make others pure? If anyone hates peace, how can he make others peaceable ? Or if anyone has soiled his hands with baseness, how can he cleanse the impurities of another?"

-Ecclesiastical Report to High Priest Pontian I, Unknown

 

Following passage originates from the Journal of Brother Paisius, Abbot of Telia;

 

In the slow conversion of the Highlanders and Marshlanders[1], who were staunchly entrenched in their hedonistic deities, there was one element which the steadfast monks and missionaries that never ran out: martyrs of the Canonist Faith. It was common sight, according to those quite more elderly than myself, to see priest and new-convert strung up like a slaughtered bovine, for them to be tortured and raped because those pagans, the ones who committed such evils, were deathly afraid of the Word and Will of God. I will not act ignorant, however, that some of these atrocities were committed through the confusingly complicated political situation, but I shall address that at a later time.

 

The High Priest[a], the one true Vicar of God, and His Holiness' men were faced with a twisted predicament. Canonism, the One True Faith of God, was under threat, attacked by the barbarians out on the frontier and the weak willed followers, as they claim, of the Jove[2]. Through it all, ironically, there was no hinderance of the numerous conversions, and henceforth martyrdoms, and no stopping of the rightful expansion of the Canonist Faith. There was no discouragement, but in fact these martyrs, later Beautified as documents allowed, became symbols of the people. Never such a time, besides the era of the Prophet Owyn, were the people of God struck with such zealotry! The High Priest, blessed as he is, had to do something, lest the whole Canonist North become martyrs for the cross.

 

The answer was the Faith Militant.

 

Never before had such a grouping- organized by the priests of God! - collected itself, made up of the eternally faithful and zealous in dogma. There was no true name for this band at the time, the jolly band of ninety-nine, whom marched into the pagan north in the defense of pilgrims and missionaries. The Order of the Black Sepulchres, as I am of course writing about, comes more down the line of time. As was being written, the band of men made their way north and established a small priory in the base hills of the Waldorf-Hunnik basin[3], near the City of the Lahy, future sight of the first stone basilica of the Canonist Faith.

 

However, God truly does test the mettle of His Faithful. Forces of the then pagan Prince of Dules, along with fellow allied Hanseni[4] and other assortment of minor princes, destroyed the small priory, slaughtering many of the band of ninety-nine, who were not expecting such a quick attack from their foes. All but nine of them fell victim to the pagan butchery, themselves fleeing till the decadent soldiers of the false gods gave up the chase. The battered nine made camp, licking their wounds. The list of the nine are as follows:

 

Blessed Ser Royce of Cerum, the Leader of the Band,

Ser Alric the Harrenite,

Ser Gryffend ap Evenglinte,

Ser Yern Luidol,

Ser Gruffud ap Cymal, later the Bishop of Ulgaard,

Ser Thomas of Marna,

Ser Hectores the Bold,

Wolfram, a squire,

and Kurt of Hoth, another squire.

 

The Blessed Ser Royce, called Royce of Cerum, led the band of nine after the slaughter of the fellow troops of faith. Now this Ser Goddard, according to my sources, was very much a mystic as he was a zealot, and ordered the bodies of their fellow comrades burned to ash. The ashen remains were gathered, and each knight was given a vial of the dust, with the famous words by Ser Royce spoken:

 

“There is not halt, there is not stop,

we cannot hinder and resign.

We must pay a debt for our slain brothers,

we Band of Nine.”

 

And so the Order of the Black Sepulchres was born, figuratively, led by the Blessed Ser Royce and his band of nine. He commanded the six knights under his retinue to go to every corner of Canonist-controlled lands, to recruit those of zealotry and virtue to bring forth the Will of God.

 

THE EDELAW AND THE FIRE OF FAITH

 

The following excerpt originates from the journal of Willem zu Zeel, Chancellor of the Principality of Balain;

 

14th of the Grand Harvest, 632AH

 

...which ensured the guaranteed invasion by High King Benedict I[c], known to the wretched Westfolk[5] in their tongue as Baruch. The trade cities of the basin were ripe of gold, as I told His Serenity, the Prince of Balain[d], many times before. Backwater yes, for many of those towns were split apart by miles upon miles of desolate forests, where the Elves of Dun[6]  played their wretched magic. But, gold slipped poured into those ports of Lahy and Dules, of Huss and Svetogryz[7] and it would fit magically into our desolate treasury. But alas, the villain Baruch received the riches, hoarding it as all pagans do..

 

6th of Snow’s Maiden, 632AH

 

...and let it be known that I despise the Basin-dwellers[8], the ones who call themselves Raevir or however that nonsense goes. The damned refugees pour into our gates akin to water breaking a damn, demanding food and shelter and a place to stick their *****. And His Serenity, his kindness impeding, gives them what they cry for and more! Our stores, much less our treasury, cannot handle such a strain.

 

It pains me to even write of this topic, my head pounds like a hammer on an anvil. Where is the other lords in this mess? The Duke of Marna refuses to open his gates, neither does that wicked Lord Lorenz or the Count of Mzen. May they all rot in the Void, the pig-loving, goat-******* lords.

 

17th of Malin’s Welcome, 633AH

 

Madness! Utter stupidity and retardation! His Serenity, loyal as I am to him, is a fool. An complete idiot and mindless of his own actions through his young…

 

[The ranting continues for nearly a page.]

 

...and he thinks of more what is in between his legs rather than what is in his head. That ***** Raevir woman, some ***** by the name of Alin Sarkovna[e], has tainted His Serenity’s mind. She whispers promises of love, coddles and phornicates his senses away, asking to reclaim the shithole she believed a home. Sovietisk, Svotisk[9]? Their tongue is truly a disgusting language, made myself nearly gag and retch what I ate the morn before.

 

The Black Sepulchres, those holy knights which demand money and tribute from every lord here to the Autumn, has also come to ear from our granaries and twist His Serenity’s mind. Worse than the Basin-dwellers, worse than the pagan Haeseni themselves.

 

The following account is taken from the Historia Hansetia, written by the scribe Aramis d’Goul;

 

The Dance of Eophrantes, 635AH

 

It was a clear day, rain had fallen three nights before but the grounds were firm for the horses. The soldiers awoke at dawn, cooked their meals, and a service was held two hours in the preparation. Prince Niedemar awoke near the same time as the soldiers, council of the army leaders was called before and after the service. The men on the council were as followed: Prince Niedemar, son of Hinamir[f], Lord Pytor[g], son of Velimov[h], Lord Lothar the Elder, son of Joren, Lord Lothar the Younger, son of Lothar, Ser Quintus the Half-Foot, son of Roland, Lord Fredek, son of Binimius, Salamon Belivic, son of Bela, and Ser Reshal, son of Henry. The Grandmaster of the Black Sepulchre was not present, recorded ten miles east of the campsite.

 

The pagans across the away awoke twenty minutes after the soldiers did. Smoke rose from the campsite, recorded a before battle feast was held. Soon after the second military council meeting, a pagan ritual was held in the field before us. Three captives were displayed, their names being Lord Igain the Quarter-Short, Ser Jan the Bold, and Ser Alexander. The three captives were laid across the grass, the chief priests began to chant in an unknown tongue, then the trio’s hearts cut from their cuts and the presumed figure, King Baruch, ate of the bloody item. The men surrounding him did the same soon after. The pagans then retreated inside, leaving the body to rot.

 

The field of battle consist of a large field, mostly flat with forests marking the left boundary. The right side stretched further into the plains. A river, the River Gren, cut through the middle, closer to the pagan encampment than ours. The pagan camp sat upon a small mound, not high enough to make a full hill, but enough to be raised from the field itself. Our camp was not raised in comparison. The pagan encampment had crude logs acting as a palisade in defense of their war camp, no noticeable towers. The crusade encampment was fitted more aptly; the palissade made of oaken planks and five towers marked a diamond-shaped camp.

 

The crusade forces consisted of twenty-five thousand men of the sword, another two hundred magi from the College of Gasoglow[10], and eight thousand horse, majority of them freeriders of the heartland estates. The Black Sepulchre itself had a thousand total, three hundred knights and the rest on foot. The Balainic levy consisted of the largest majority, ten thousand soldiers in all, with two thousand freeriders, seven hundred knights, and the others rank of foot.

 

THE DASOGUZ WAR

 

The following account is taken from the writings of Brother Leon of Amaury;

On the Woes of the Crusaders, undated.

 

We’ve made considerable progress in the land of Lesser Tarchary. In the valley where the halfmen onee planted their tobacco and wheat, we now plant the crops of God; that is the foundation for an Ecclesiastical State. At night, the cold bites at one’s ankles and, in day, the sun beats upon their shoulders like the burden of God’s Word itself.

 

The men in black, the Knights and their army of ragged volunteersmen, defend from the foothills of Holofernes and therein, many men are slain by horse lord arrow and saber. But they hold fast. They hold as they’ve for centuries. The Tarchar morale weakens, I pray, and soon we may push forth into the steppe on horseback. Another note, the horses grow sick and the grass dry. It is rumor God tests our determination, yet I believe it is simply an occurence bestowed upon our folk by the demons of horse. Not since a big footed half of a man walked on this land did these soils find comfort in the tools of Horen. No, the soil battles us almost as viciously as the horsemen.

 

Yet, despite these assorted woes and furthermore the growing disease of Sixumic Sickness (named for the rumors spread of our late Pontiff Sixtus III) spread by camp followers, the men of the Black Sepulcher remain a bastion of hopefulness as those of other colors and banners depart; either by arrow or ship. It seems those are the two ways off of this iblic land. Yet, the tide may still turn.

 

INTERREGNUM

A writing from the journal of Archbishop Svatobor ‘Prophetsfoe’

 

It has been some time now, since the reign of Lucien III that the men of the Black Sepulchre have stood with blade and cross, ready to defend the Church and its flock. In current time, we’ve been plagued by threats of unholy beings called witches and from secularists, plotting ‘religious freedom’ and superiority of their municipal and feudal entities over the Clerical Estate.

 

Perhaps it is time someone reforged those black links of steel. The sun beats proudly on this eve, but it is not black. No, it is red with madness. The realm of God basks in a sea of sin and only the steel of a Faith Militant can ever return this Imperium to its rightful holiness. That and a pious mind.

 

REARMAMENT

The writ of His Holiness, Clementus II, reestablishing the Sepulchre, 1610

 

The reformation of the Black Sepulcher shall be commenced forthwith. The faithful, the clergy, and the Church has long toiled at the hands of persecutors; through a grand hunt perpetuated by the New Order. From this day, the 13th of the Amber Cold, the Black Sepulcher and the knights of the Ashen Urns will partake in the duties which they hold as ancient right.

 

 

 

 

[1] - The Marshlanders, dwellers of the westward swamps.

[2] - The Jove, an archaic name for God commonly used by the Hansetians.

[3] - Waldorf-Hunnik Basin, commonly called the Raev Basin, homeland of the Raevir peoples.

[4] - Haeseni, or called today as the Hansetians.

[5] - Archaic slang for the Hansetians, commonly used by the Raevir and Heartlander peoples.

[6] - A common myth and legend is that the elven wife of Harren, Sarai, still lived within the forests binding between the Oren mainland, the Hunnik Basin, and the outer reaches of the Hanseatic tundra. She, with her band of pagan elves, would steal naughty and improper children from their homes.

[7] - Lahy and Dules were ports upon the Autumn Sea, a favored trade bridge between Aeldin and Oren. Huss and Svetogryz were ports upon the Adunian Sea, growing rich from the bountiful fur trade between the Adunian Isle and the forests of Thuiad.

[8] - Archaic slang for the Raevir, commonly used by the Heartlander nobility and Aeldinic merchants.

[9] - Sovitesk, a Raevir city-state recorded as the first settlement in the basin. During and after the Edelaw, the town became and remained a Hansetian majority, renaming into Sorbesborg.

[10] - The College of Gasoglow, one of the first and only human exclusive magical schools. The college made its home in its namesake March of Gasoglow, a Heartlander estate known for its mysticism and deviance from the early church. The college, and its town surrounding, fell victim to pogrom in 713, where nearly every student was lynched and dragged through the streets. The March of Gasoglow soon fell itself in 715, its land being conquered by the expanding Horen Kings of Aaun.


 

[a] - The High Priest Sixtus I, Vicar of God, took the pontifical throne at the age of thirty-three. Reputed as a zealot and even an Owynist, he is best remembered for his role in the Evensday Massacre, where a migrating village of known pagans were cut down, totalling to a death count of three thousand men and women.

-The Grand Prince/Chief of the Dulonians, Nikolaus I. Crowned under the three eyes of Gorm the Wolf God, Nikolaus was a staunch reactionary to the Canonist conversions, leading one of the largest persecution of Canonists in known history. Nikolaus was defeated by the hands of Jan Jeremi at the Siege of the Lahy, killed by an arrow to the eye.

[c] - High King Benedict I, better known as Baruch the Brazen. The chief of the Alamanni was crowned in the ruins of Jroth, under the moon of Morighan, and declared a full invasion of the Raev basin in 631. Little records exist of him, but it is believed he died of the plague in 650s.

[d] - Prince Niedemar I, the Prince of Balain, took the throne at the young age of ten and six, after the untimely demise of his uncle, Lothar III. A brash and idealistic young man, the Prince fell in love with the minor noble refugee Alin Sarkovna, marrying her despite her low blood and the pressure of his lords and councillors. Together with the Black Sepulchre and the persuading of his Raevir wife, he launched the First Northern Crusade upon High King Baruch. Initially successful, Niedemar was cut down by Baruch in the Dance of Eophrantes, ending the crusade prematurely.

[e] - Princess-consort of Balain, later Regent and Princess-mother of Balain. Alin Sarkovna, more known as Saint Alin of Sovitesk, was a woman of low birth, at some point in 632 marrying the Prince of Balain and bearing him a single son: Prince Renauld I. She is most well known for her actions as Regent after her husband’s death, securing the throne for her son and beginning the long trial in reverting power back to the central liege.

[f] - Hinamir of Balain, middle son of Carther I of Balain, is most notably known for being the sire of the later Niedemar I of Balain. He was known to be an avid hunter, married Hyanda of Gryf at some point in his teens, and died of the pox in his later thirties.

[g] - Lord Pytor Velimovic Hoglkh, a lordling of the Free City of Dules and of little renown. The son of Lord Velimov Hoglkh, elected High Prince of Dules from 602 to 607, Lord Pytor commanded the Dulonian contingent within the army, perishing at the Dance of Eophrantes. He left no issue.

[h] - High Prince of Dules, Velimov Marganovic Hoglkh, who ruled for one term between 602 and 607. He married thrice, though unknown to who, and had at least one son, Lord Pytor Velmovic Hoglkh.

KNIGHTS OF THE ASHEN URNS

The guardians of the Church and protectors of the faithful, it is those who carry the burdens of the ashes of the martyrs that defend what is right in faith and morality. Anointed by the Vicar of God, each knight of the sacred order receives the ashes of a Martyr, sworn to carry the remains into the fray and spread the faith by sword and quill. These men are the finest of Humanity, the crucible of talent and zealotry, of faith and virtue.

 

-FIRST TRIAL : SACRED URN-

The creation of the Ashen Urn, holder of the martyr's ashes, is first amongst the tests. The Urn must be fired and molded by the knight-candidate himself, all resources and tools must be chiefly his own work. After, a bishop of the Canon must approve and give his blessing, lest the knight-candidate remake the Urn.

 

-SECOND TRIAL : TONGUE OF FIRE-

To speak the Creator's Will is to have a Tongue of Fire, the tongue which breaks all barriers of language and communication through His Power. In order to be considered to become a Knight of the Ashen Urns, one must convert a heathen, one who has not had the joy to hear the Canon, and bring him fully into the fold of our community.

 

-THIRD TRIAL : SWORD OF OWYN-

The Creator’s Wrath brings fear and awe across the plains of existence, in every heart and mind of every being which has walked and thought. Through discipline and faith, one may acquire the Creator’s Blessing in the art of combat, to spar and wield the weapons of His Divine Will.

 

-FOURTH TRIAL : HOLIEST DUTY-

The Vicar of God is the chief priest, representative of His Divine Will. Through his words mark the words of God Himself, and so the tasks delivered by him also Divine in nature and spirit. Accomplish the task given by His Holiness moves one ever further in achieving the ashes of the sacred.

 

-FIFTH TRIAL : ARMOR OF FAITH-

To truly believe in the Grace of God is to have true faith in Him. The test of faith marks a man from the common laity to the most devout.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

PARA VIRILIS

It is we who stand as guardians of the High Pontiff.

It is we who shall protect the Creator's faithful from evil, whenever possible.

It is we who hunt all worshippers of evil and practitioners of darkness.

It is we who keep watch in the lands of God, and uphold peace and order.

It is we who shall be the Vanguard of any Holy Crusades.

It is we who shall carry out the sentences of those convicted of crimes against the Faith and the Holy See.

It is we who shall train the citizen militia in times of need.

It is we who share, with tolerance and understanding, the word of the Lord.

It is we who maintain a powerful and unwavering faith in the Creator and His word.

It is we who shall seek to embody Horen's Virtue and Owyn's Spirit.

It is we who strive to deliver upon the faithful the embodiments of Godfrey's Gospel and Siegmund's Auspices.

It is we who obey, without question, the hierarchy of the Guard, and ultimately word of the High Pontiff.

It is we who shall embrace our fellow Guardsmen as Brothers, and treat them as such.

It is we who know to violate the Palatine Code is to be condemned to death.

 

If I should falter in my course, send me never to the skies above.

If I should succeed, bestow unto me His blessings, forevermore.

For, now I march into a valley through which there is no path.

And the stones cascade behind me, to seal my retreat.

Though in this valley, I find my Brothers;

Now I am named Guardian of His Flock.

Should I falter, my shield shall turn to ash;

But I shall not falter.

THE ENLISTMENT

To serve in the Black Sepulchre, one must be of at least fourteen years, a male, and a faithful member of the Church of the Canon. Those who serve in the Black Sepulchre are not simply recruited outright into the Knights of the Sacred Urns; there are two specific paths to initiation. One may serve in the Black Sepulcher without the title of knight and will serve as Armigers, Serjeants, and Arms Men.

 

TO BE CONSIDERED

 

Any faithful man above the age of fourteen may actively apply to the Consideration Pool. If their application is accepted, they shall be given room and board and tested to be a Cavalier. During their time in the Consideration Pool, they are considered men of the Black Sepulchre, yet not that of the Knights of the Canon. They shall be expected to attend to whatever duties are assigned to them by any Knight, as well as attending regular drills, competitions, and sermons.

 

Through these means, the Commandant and his knights shall evaluate each and every member and decide upon the fate of that member if they are prepared for the Trials.

TO BE CHOSEN

 

Oftentimes Cavaliers of the Black Sepulchre are sent to protect travelling priests or other members of the Holy See in their journeys. If an officer at least two ranks beneath the Commandant is on one such journey, or on a quest specifically for recruitment, he may select men that he meets to bypass the Consideration Pool and begin the trials immediately.

 

This is particularly rare, and does not necessarily inherently claim those Chosen are more capable than those Considered. At times, however, word of a righteous, experienced warrior may reach the ears of the Knights of the Urn, and a knight may be sent in search of this warrior, to offer him the honor.

 

Below is a list of those whom are being observed, and considered for the Chosen process:

 

 

CURRENT KNIGHTS OF THE ASHEN URNS:

 

SER GHISELIN OF HOUSE ANJOU

Once a secular gentryman,  his title of Ser was transferred to that of the holy gentry estate and he was seated as Grandmaster of the newly refounded order. He possesses the ashen urn of Bl. Baldwin de Bar.

 

SER CRISTOPHE OF HOUSE BASTIEN

A disillusioned secular knight, Christophe took refuge in the papal court and found new enlightenment in service to God. Affectionately dubbed  the Convert, for his submission to a life of piety, Christophe was awarded the urn of Bl. Rafael of Cordobe.

 

SER BENEDICT OF HOUSE AMBRAY

Descended from the holy Ser  d’Ambray, servant to several Johannesburg Pontiffs, Benedict, called Benegar, followed in the footsteps of his lineage. Honing his blade through service to Canonist priests persecuted in the Courlandish-Lotharii Rebellion, Benegar was knighted officially by Clementus II upon being called forth by the Charter of Rearmament. He holds the ashes of Bl. Enoch.

 

SER RUPERT  THE PILGRIM
