Peter III's Address to the Empire

[ARCHITECUS 4788]

 

11^th of Horen’s Calling, 1741

To my Empire,

I have brushed with death, and caused great distress in doing so. This is my fault, to put us at such risk, and cause our men to bleed to narrowly preserve me - but I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for your tenacity. I am back on my feet with more vigor than ever thanks to my loyal physicians and officers, and wish to embrace King Andrik and his men for the faithfulness they have reciprocated. Truly, I thank you all.

 

Nevertheless, the inevitable has come: forces of chaos gather to assault us from abroad. The bloodthirsty, the turncloaks; the despoilers wish to drag us apart and feast one by one. As always, we must show our strength in solidarity. Remember the words I told the peers of our Empire at Novellen, for they are more relevant now than ever. It is times like these that emphasize the importance of these words. Remember: A house divided against itself cannot stand. We are one house together. Together, even the humblest craftsman bears more dignity, more power, than the despot Chiefs and Kings who align against us. This is our strength. This is our Empire. This is our salvation.

 

Glory to God,

and Glory to us,

 

HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Peter III Anthony, Emperor of the Holy Orenian Empire, King of Renatus, Salvus, and Seventis, Duke of Helena, Lorraine, and Roden, Baron of Sedan, Protector of the Heartlanders, Highlanders, and Farfolk, etcetera.

“As the enemy approaches, we stand ready with our countrymen and fellow Imperials. Our way of life once again is threatened by warmongering tree worshippers who would stop at nothing to see our cities burn and our citizens slaughtered. Today we are gathered here, not as mere soldiers of various settlements, but as One People, One Army, One Brethren of Orenian Brothers-In-Arms determined to defend and ensure tomorrow’s prosperity for our families and our Empire.

 

There can be no triumph without loss. No victory without suffering. No freedom without sacrifice.

 

One United Oren, or No Oren at All!”

 

Says Alexander Joseph of the House of Pruvia, addressing the people of Helena.

Eleanor spits at the ground, preparing for the next time she saw her cousin’s face smashed against it surrounded by his own chipped teeth and warm blood. 

[D3F4LT 1026]

Yes

[Esterlen 4499]

Frederick covers his face with a frilled handkerchief as he reads the address. 

 

“Those dastardly Nordling barbarians...oh, what a plague on us they have been! The enemy of all civilised people, surely.”

Ragnarr Caesarsunnu Tiber looks up to the sky, thinking solemnly about a Whiggish Harrenite.

 

“Wotan shits on the Kaiser.”

[jdesarno 381]

Thorvn promptly saluted “Ave Haense, save us’in dire time of barbaric man children’n their brooding forewives of aimless blunderin.” He’d soon spit upon the floor . .somehow through his faceplate, Don’t question it, he probably got it all in his helmet too.

Walking along the streets of Reza Dusana Jastrow hears of the Emperors notice, instead of giving a warm, happy feeling inside, it gives her a cold, scared angry feeling.

“You’re a meanie” says a child, ignoring whatever it said

[MunaZaldrizoti 8037]

Anna Maria would read the address from within the confines of her rooms in the Novellan Palace, hearth crackling and filling her face with heat. The blood of Marna and Pruvia ran through her veins, and the ire for the tree-worshiping descendants of Norland ran deep in both lines.

 

The next morning, the young heiress found her lord-father, John-Henry, and bid him to hear her words.

“Commission me some training attire and a suitable sword, father. It would seem I must become a warrior.”

“I am here for profit..”

[Cobbler 809]

Tovelm can not read, so this message means nothing to him.

[Morigung-oog 5697]

“We must crush whoever stands in our path.” A mali’aheral stated coldly from the comfort of her chambers whilst a handmaiden poured her a cup of tea. “Such behaviour from the barbarians cannot go unpunished.”

 

[Viggen92 326]

The old man, who had never before hesitated upon coming to the Empire’s aid, now was ready to draw arms for the cause of the so-called rebellion. “If that does not speak in the favor of AIS, that a man that has been loyal to the Empire and her Emperor for over five decades, now would doubt the leadership enough to fight against its cause. Either he had grown a feeble and clouded mind, or the Empire truly is not what it once was.” He thought to himself as his gaze eyed the address which he held in his steel-clad hand.
