PEACE AMONG THE FAITHFUL; 9th of the Amber Cold, 1640

Issued and confirmed by Grandmaster Robert “BOB” Rovin, Grand Master of the Order of Saint Lucien and Battle-Bishop of Metz on behalf of his Holiness, Everard IV.

To all of good Canonist faith, I believe, with great piety in my heart, that this conflict has dwindled to a resolute conclusion.

 

The Church of Canon, in conjunction with the Kingdom of Santegia, hath enacted peace between their people. Time and time again blood has been shed amongst our lands. In the West, the true enemies lay in the barbaric Norlandic pagans, whom have begun to crumble in defense.

 

Truly, GOD guides our Crusade in these dark times as a beacon, for prior to its enactment, the World truly was engulfed in Iblees’ ilk. Ante Bellum, I traveled the world as part of my sacred duty as a Monk of the Canonist Faith. I hath seen the sin which pollutes the sod of this realm. I have stated such many a time, but it is imperative that I apply emphasis. I have seen Norlandic Red Priests worship red-hued trinkets, whilst desecrating sacred temples to GOD and his chosen Prophets. I have seen Norlandic fire-dancers butcher elderly, feeble men for the sake of a chuckle and for what lies within their cobweb laden pockets. I have seen Red-Faith priests encourage nudity within their lands, which pollute the minds of children and propagate lust. Most disgustingly, however, I have seen those of the Red Faith reject the exalted Horen, and spit upon the legacy of the prophets and that of GOD in favor of an actual fairy tale so that they may hold zero responsibilities morally.

 

As Predicted, however, humanity is slowly, yet surely, returning to the embrace of our Creator as we, as a whole, have returned to a quest of piety rather than that of worldly greed. I had stated such in my private thesis to his Holiness, in which I argued that the reason humanity and its sons continue to be conquered, separated and fight one another is due to a desire for worldly titles rather than that of GOD’s grace. Thus, the path forward must be that which embraces pious values, and not a thirst for power like that of the red-faith worshiping sons.

Thus, in accordance with his Holiness, I am prompted to offer solidified terms to the King of Santegia and his cohort should they desire peace, for it is ultimately virtuous before GOD to extend an olive branch of mercy to the faithful if they so desire. The terms are as follows:

 

The Kingdom of Santegia

• The Kingdom of Santegia, in order to establish a reunification with the Church of Canon, shall agree to pledge its fighters against the ilk of the Red Faith and other malicious heathens, which includes the state Norland and the Undead.
   
• The Kingdom of Santegia, in order to establish a reunification with the Church of Canon, shall sanction the safe return of the clergy to its capital and future capitals.
   
• The Kingdom of Santegia, in order to establish a reunification with the Church of Canon, shall renounce all condemnations against the Order of St. Lucien and the High Pontiff.
   
• The Kingdom of Santegia, in order to establish a reunification with the Church of Canon, shall erect a new and mighty Cathedral within its capital, and potential future capitals.
   
• The Kingdom of Santegia, in order to establish a reunification with the Church of Canon, shall permit the Order of Saint Lucien and fellow Crusaders to remain in Santegia uncontested for One Saint’s Month, with clear codes of conduct and guidelines, to ensure that the treaty is upheld and enforced.
   
• The Kingdom of Santegia, in order to establish a reunification with the Church of Canon, shall permit the secession of faithful vassals who have lost faith in the Santegian government prior to this treaty, for one Saint’s day. As to not promote further chaos and anarchy in the region, however, those who decide to secede must be distributed equally (shall be decided further following the tallying of potential secessionists) between either Renatus, Haense or Marna to ensure that Norlandic roots do not spring up in said territories. Furthermore, if the Kingdom of Santegia can convince these vassals to return to their fold, such will not be challenged by the three aforementioned states should they decide to reunite with Santegia.

 

The Order of Saint Lucien and the Church of Canon

• The Order of Saint Lucien, in order to show their will of good faith, shall agree to pledge their aid against the Norlandic attacks on the Capital and/or any settlements under the Kingdom of Santegia
   
• The Order of Saint Lucien, in order to show their will of good faith, shall submit a formal apology to House Palaiologos and House de Savin for the loss of the late Duke Demetrios Palaiologos.
   
• The Order of Saint Lucien, in order to show their will of good faith, swears to uphold the ‘Floral of Rights and Privileges’ of the Kingdom of Santegia, while operating within its borders.
   
• The Church of the Canon, in order to establish a reunification with the Kingdom of Santegia, shall revoke all condemnations on the Kingdom of Santegia and its King.
