The Society of St. Everard

 

 

Origins

 

Founded by Edward Winter II in the Fourth Age of Kings 1485, and receiving apostolic blessings from the High Pontiff Regulus I the following year, the scholarly Society of St. Everard was intended to be a society of honors for accomplished writers, philosophers, and historians whose scholarship has aided the human realm in continued progress and learning and the preservation of traditional culture and text.

 

In the wake of the fall of the Third and Fourth Empires, much learning was lost from the libraries due to ideologically driven mass book-burnings and royal libraries being looted and falling into disrepair. It was the declared duty of the Everardians to recover all substantive works of scholarly note, to return arts and literature to the libraries and houses of the realm, and to write and patron new works to encourage the continued learning and preservation of traditions in all of humanity.

 

However, upon the fall of the Renatian state and the creation of the Mardonic League, the Everardians refocused their attention on the maintenance of blood, noble patent, and land records in an effort to preserve order and culture within the Heartland realm. Its modern purpose, in an age of similar chaos in this year of 1612 almost a century and a half after its founding, is no different. The Society remains, as it has for many years, dedicated to the preservation of human knowledge, art, literature, and culture, and its promotion, creation, and protection from attempts at perversions of truth and history.

Information

 

Although the Society takes its name from the St. Everard, canonized for preserving the traditions and writings of the Church despite intense secular struggle, the Society was created as a lay fraternal order with authority deriving from the de sanguinis rights of the Hibernian crown. Not priests or monks, but independent citizens, the educated members of the Society work to promote learning in the realm, however it may be politically composed.

 

While it has received a papal benediction, blessing it with the patronage of a Saint in its title and works, and is Canonist by constitution, the Society is not oath-bound, nor tied with any worldly organization, nor does it have an established leadership or central location. We simply seek to continue to serve as a society of honors for accomplished men of letters, and an organization for the public good by the continued literary progress of humanity in times of discord and of order.  

 

Any are welcome to seek membership, provided that their work serves to inform the greater humanity and is of a respectable quality.

Your Participation

 

The Society is interested in expanding our coverage, and ensuring a more consistently updated body of works so that the realm may stay updated and prosper by virtue of information.

 

I, invite any scribes, authors, poets, sages, historians, or any other learned man of note to join the Society and contribute to the educational well-being of the heartland.

OOC tl;dr , Revival of an old society made to encourage scribes to work together to produce a continuous stream of relevant cultural, informational, and historical posts for humanity, as there is no longer an Imperial Steward, Scribe, or Seneschal to maintain such posts and information.

A letter is sent to the society,

 

"To Father Alaric,

 

Greetings to you, blessed father, and may God be with you. My name is Ser Stanimir Vyronov, the Baron of Rytsburg, and of lowly noble origins. Considering myself an amateur scholar, I was quite delighted to see such a prestigious group of learned men reformed once again. I would be most glad if I myself might seek entry into the Society of St. Everard, holding numerous tomes over noble bloodlines as well as other scholarly pieces of my own.

 

I hope we might be able to meet, as I have longed for other like-minded individuals to share in the art of writing and record-keepings.

 

With God's love,

Ser Stanimir, Baron of Rytsburg."
