To the esteemed Pontiff of the Canonist Church.

 

 With the recent influx of Canonist Renatians into my demesne, I find myself obliged to tend to their unique religious needs. As such I request the inclusion of my Duchy within one of your existing diocese. Or perhaps the conception of an entirely new diocese. The realm of Morsgrad, being a primarily fatherist realm there are unique issues and challenges herein that your average priest or bishop will find opaque and unconquerable. To that end I would suggest a preemptive balm to this most troubling dilemma. Within my realm are a number of eager young scholars who have taken well to the unusual circumstances they find themselves in. Aptly navigating the streets of the city and resolving conflict where they find it. These young scholars have expressed interest in a vocation of faith. Thus I request that they be educated at a seminary of your choice and returned to us. To tend to the religious needs of the Renaii dwelling within Morsgrad. In exchange I am willing to offer an annual tithe of Nordish marks and manpower.

 

Regards and respects,

TO THE DUKE OF MORSGRAD, benediction.

 

May God keep you and your house, and let the people speak highly in praise of your virtues, for brotherly love – and its resultant act, that of hospitality – is in short supply among the princes of the land. This Our Court first and foremost speaks to your name.

 

Our Court hears the plight of the landless Renatians as a shepherd takes the bleating of his flock, and as such must apply the correct remedy. The Abbey-Seminary of Saint Robert in the City of Ves shall take into its halls any of your scholars that you should choose to send, and educate them for the Divine Priesthood, in order that they may service the Renatian people under your care. Additionally, Our Court shall dispatch with Curates, to which We humbly pray they be received in your own, that proper oaths of friendship and goodwill be taken.

 

DANIEL VI
