The year is 1762 and after decades of war, the Holy Orenian Empire finds itself entering an economic resurgence. In the twenty-fifth year of His Imperial Majesty, Peter III’s reign, centuries of feudalism and tyranny have given way to an era of fraternity and enlightenment. This year for three months we celebrate a quarter century of stability, under His Imperial Majesty, the second longest reigning Emperor in history. The festivities shall commence during Godfrey’s Triumph.

    Godfrey’s Triumph (Friday, April 3rd)

 

Time: 5pm EST

Where: The Basilica of Final Revelation, Helena

 

The festivities shall open with Mass held in The Basilica of the Final Revelation in Helena. The faithful of the realm shall come together and be led in prayer for the empire. We shall pray for the health of his Imperial Majesty, the continued social and economic wealth of our realm, and that the antiquated servants of Iblees who would drag us back into the past, into an era of conflict and heathenism, shall never rise again.

 

 

Time: 6:30pm EST

Where: Kaedrin

 

The day after the Mass, the citizens of the Empire will be hosted in Kaedrin, for a firelight vigil in the old city of Ves. The trouble years began five decades ago, with the burning of Ves. We light fires in memory of those we lost in subsequent years of anarchy.

If they answer incorrectly, they lose it. More details about the nature of the competition and participant registration forms can be found in the following pamphlet.
