A RESPONSE TO THE SO-CALLED JOSEPHITES

 

From across Arcas comes word of this ‘Nenzing Proclamation’ - a so-called list of decrees from the fale-lord Joseph who sits within Reza or Leuven or Ves, too weak to hold lands of his own - and feels bold enough to offer honeyed words and commanding decrees. To this he appends a list of petty grievances: some manufactures, some simple occasions when our soldiers have triumphed over treasonous agents. To this list we shall append a hundred new-fold grievances for these rat’s wives and mothers to weep and lament over; the punishment for their treason shall be sweet death lest they repent.

 

Already near a half-dozen signatories lie dead, choking on their own blood. Our soldiers shall not rest until this fate befalls all who break their ancient oaths. Yet more than simple death there is a better refute to this proclamation - its own words are false and either misled or simple lies offered by a deceiving lord who seeks to rise above his own station.

 

This ‘Joseph of Marna’ bases his claim to Oren upon his position as the most senior descendants of the House of Horen before the House of Pertinax ascended to the throne. This is false. The blood of John still runs in the veins of the descendants of Charles Elliot; the Prince of Alstion is father of Godfrey III’s bride and serves loyally the Emperor of the Imperium Renatus. They accept the primacy of the Emperor and serve him loyally, not lying for power but instead offering true and real fealty. While these Johannians live the Horen-Marnans shall remain a lesser line. They attempt to base their rule upon a social contract and supposed rights, yet hold none of the rights to control of their lineage which would enable this proclamation to be true.

 

There is no claim to be had in descent from the Marnanites. As rebels always do, cloistered away in dark corridors with their bitter tongues flapping, they attempt to rewrite history. The Empire they seek to do away with and replaced was preceded by the Crown of Renatus-Marna, a dual monarchy held by Aurelius I. The men of Marna accepted this claim and obeyed him, for it was only through unity that strength came to the Kingdoms of Men, and only now cast this off in a brazen attempt for power.

 

Behind this claim stands an old, creaking Church unfit to walk in the footsteps of its holy forefathers. This modern Church has always been a political body, devoid of any spirituality. Have-beens walk its halls, desperate to cling to some form of temporal power whilst garbed in the plain clothing of those who pretend to abstain from it. The Church has bent to the will of Horen for gain before, deposing Pontiffs at the request of a King, and they now attempt to return to it again. True Canonists know them to be manufacturers of the false. His Imperial Majesty Godfrey III stands beyond the bounds of this crumbling edifice, a representative of the Creator in His power and majesty. Once the rats and heretics who have overtaken the Church are cleared out and trialled for their falsehoods and desire for temporal peace can be restored.

 

Here, again, a Horen uses the Church for his own gain - it is simply the case that now he abandons ‘Horen’ and goes only by ‘Marna’. It is this fact which reveals to us the very truth of the matter. This Joseph has no miraculous claim to the Throne; history has not been misled and he is no saviour here to correct its cause. He is the standard-bearer of the embittered and weak, he offers a list of grievances that are in truth naught more than falsehoods and punishments. With their every word and proclamation - with every whispered lamentation and haunted scream of Renatian tyranny - they reveal the truth of this matter. They are the defeated. Their cause is that of the spurned and the weak; the plotter who has been revealed from behind the shadowed curtain and punished. We shall destroy this rebellion of men who do not even hold the claim they pretend to have and restore order to these lands. We shall destroy the snakes and knaves who gather, attempting to use this usurper to further their own gains.

 

We need to look no further than the men who place their name upon this proclamation to see the weakness and falsity of this host. The men of Ves, burned for their treachery. The men of Leuven who descend from the bastard Baldwin and falsify their noble heritage. Marius who did nothing to aid the Adrians in their hour of need and now, when he sees the spectre of opportunity and a greater chance of victory, hoists his false-banner behind this claimant. Beware, Joseph, for these ghoula shall one day attempt to betray you also.

 

The Imperium Renatus still reigns supreme, and shall continue to do so. Those who have been deceived by the honeyed words of the traitor are welcome amongst our loyal allies. Those who persist in their treason shall see their names added to the 90 Grievances.

“Ave Courland!” Waldemar stated. “Death to the Haensemen and their traitorous brood!”

Archbishop Zachery cackles in amusement.

“Ave Courland” Alexander II Merentel would say “Death to the traitors!”
