Renatus-Marna 218 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Opinions from the Throne I The Elven Conundrum Issued and confirmed by his Majesty, Frederick I Pius, 8th of the Amber Cold, 1646. Greetings to the fair Human citizens of Marna, and Humans across Atlas, I, Frederick Pius, better known as “Mauer”, issue this document to the public in hopes of shedding light regarding the opinion of the Marnan Crown in this time of crisis. We humans are mortals, destined to live for an allocated period of time. A sliver in the lifespan of the other races. For a single elf, twelve human generations may pass before they too meet their maker in the nether. However, the short time allocated unto humanity as part of the curse of Iblees has had the reverse intended effect. Iblees hoped to corrupt humanity by making us mortal- an eternal punishment. Instead, this curse only made us stronger. It made our peoples active, aspiring and thirsting for greatness. As such, in the lifespan of one human, through their will, despite their lives being a mere sliver in time, the world could be changed forever for the good of humanity. History showed unto us the greatness of our third prophet, Godfrey, and his formation of Empire. We look to the deeds of Saint Peter, and how his order, alongside my ancestor, Horen the Black, sacked Malinor and brought humanity to the greatest power it had ever been. Thus, I must explain with absolute clarity, the graveness of the slight the Princess of the Dominion hath casted onto humanity. According to my wife, my dear queen Henrietta, her escort to the Elven coronation, and his Holiness himself, the elves seek an empire under the name of the Dominion. This empire would hold the factions of all elf-kin, and, reportedly, the elf Princess proclaimed the that the world was to be guided under the Aspects. This quest to spread Aspectism globally poses a major threat to Canonism and all the faithful upon Atlas. The Aspects, or spirits, as prescribed by the Exalted Owyn, are a paganic entity which elves falsely follow. Elves claim that they are real, and physical, which I’ve no doubt to be true. However, GOD too, is real. These aspects are not omnipotent, they are not omnipresent. They are deceivers, and should be treated akin to that of Iblees. And though the Dominion may permit the establishment of a Church, as stated by Prince Khaine, I trust in the words of his female diplomat moreso. The elves are guided by the aspects, and will never under any circumstance convert. This sickens me, for I am not only the Apostolic king, but also a direct descendent of Horen. The title of 'Emperor' is reserved for humanity and the heirs of the Prophets. Those who were not of Horen blood yet ruled over the empire of men did such only on the blessings of house Horen, as seen with Emperor Peter the Kaedreni being appointed by the spirit of the Prophet Godfrey. Empires that did not receive this blessing were crushed by those who shared the ideals of Horen. Let us not forget that before the Prophet Godfrey, the elves were the dominant faction on this plane. It was only humanity that had the metaphorical grapes to seize freedom from elfen-kin. Horen blood is divine, by right, and to even consider challenging the title of Empire before those of Horen and humanity is a slap in the face, if not a stab in the gut. Thus, I proclaim any attempt by the dominion to centralize and formulate a unified elven empire to be an immediate threat to the Canonist Faith, the Nations of Humanity, and, most importantly, Humans everywhere. Though they may act as pacifists today, once they grow confident, they will demand our conversion and territory tomorrow. If they seek peace, they MUST admonish their quest and rescind the goals of their Princess. To offset this centralization, I also call for an IMMEDIATE convening of the leaders of mankind to join blades in the formation of the COMMONWEALTH OF MAN. The time for a Human Empire has not come, nay, but unity in some capacity has. GOD wills it. God With Us, His Majesty, Frederick Pius of Marna, Apostolic King of Marna, Rhodesia and Waldenia, Duke of Senntisten and Defender of Rhodesia and the Faith, Brother of Saint Lucien Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treshure 5818 Share Posted January 15, 2018 A Dominion officer stresses very hard about this writ. "It was a speech mistake, we're peaceful and have literally never left our forests. Please don't warmonger, I really like my lifestyle of sitting in a forest doing nothing. I know you want to reunite your human kingdoms into an Empire and need a nation to crush to do that, but we've really done nothing to you and want nothing from you. We're happy to say we're not going to conquest or dominate others, because that is quite literally what we're not going to do." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford 1996 Share Posted January 15, 2018 "Didn't two of your officials or royalty attend the ceremony and stop by to tell the high princess that they were proud of our attempts at Elven unification? What the hell?!" Veidan exclaims, clenching his fists in frustration. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will (TauFirewarrior) 2466 Share Posted January 15, 2018 "It is in the tenants of our faith that it cannot spread outside of Elvenkind, we have no interest in spreading into humanity as our Faith's are respectively ethnic based and have their own doctrines that disallow outsiders to join. Nor do we wish to turn Imperial, no Elf would ever take the title of King or Emperor themselves. We wish to stay in our woods, it is where we find our happiness. Seems there has been a lot misinterpreted." remarks Abelas, Archdruid of the Naelurir Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesaintjaleel 792 Share Posted January 15, 2018 "Typical humans." Jhazeem would say crumbling the paper "Take a beautiful speech about brotherhood and unity and turn it into a mission of conquest, and even if it was I doubt that the dominion would want to have such an outpour of these pests." he'd sigh "How ignorant."
