A PLEA TO THE EMPIRE

[ReveredOwl 5639]

 

VERITAS ET IUSTITIA

TRUTH AND JUSTICE

24th of the Sun’s Smile, 1772

 

Dear Faithful Canonists of the Empire,

                    I write this letter to the faithful Orenian people in hopes it reaches the imperial administration. A most recent and troubling event that transpired in the dead kingdom of Courland, near to Sutica, has made me realise that even now, people still try to push the agenda of the AIS upon us. I saw a proclamation that a coronation was to be held in Courland by a pagan norlandic keeper, named Keeper  Amice. Naturally, I traveled to Courland to find out what was going on there, I guess my old job as Auditor made me less wary of facing foes. However to my horror and shock, when I found the cathedral it had been utterly desecrated and defiled by ‘Keeper Amice’. There were pagan trinkets hanging from the roof, the cross had been put aflame as too were the paintings and offering altars. The pews were strewn to the side and in the center of the cathedral the Keeper had placed a large sacrificial altar with a goblet for collecting blood. The Canonist Church has done its best to ignore norlandic aggression, it has not entered the kingdom of Morsgrad and desecrated their religious sites so why do they defile ours? 

 

Though this is not all, you, faithful people of Oren, are all too familiar with the open cages that were used by the AIS during that war. Innocent travelers, farmers, peasants and even children were put into these cages and auctioned off, if nobody paid for them they would be tortured and then executed. The perpetrators of these terrible crimes never truly faced justice, for Keeper Amice still roams to sew dissent and trouble. Many have forgotten that it was too, the men of Darrowmere who participated in this horrid and inhumane practise and they have never been brought to justice for their crimes. Justice is a pillar on which the empire stands on, and without justice we have anarchy and blood. Therefore, I beg the peoples of Oren, and its administration to formally declare one's interest to have the defiler known as ‘Keeper Amice’ be extradited to the Orenian courts to face justice for years of despicable crimes and the most recent defilement of a cathedral. Too do I beg that the soldiers of Darrowmere, a vassal of Morsgrad, be brought to justice for their participation in the practise of open cages and the murder of innocent children and travelers.

 

I do expect that in the interests of peace, that  the Kingdom of Morsgrad will offer a formal and public apology for the desecration of a cathedral by the hands of one of their Keepers and subsequently hand the men of Darrowmere and Keeper Amice to the orenian courts to finally face justice. These men who commit such atrocious crimes should not be allowed to remain and further the agenda of the AIS and never again shall such atrocities be committed whilst the Empire stands strong.

 

Friar Boniface

[sergisala 3451]

"You're correct about everything you mentioned here but just to precise it: the name of the piastdom and the name of the family that rules it have been renamed: they're no longer Courland under House Staunton, now they call themselves Marivesse under House Perot." A young Galbraith Minister would precise to Friar Boniface.

[Porkgasm 267]

Cardinal Wilhem would read this missive, agast. He would then set off, to see this Defilement himself, and come what may, see that justice is done.

“The cathedral has now been destroyed entirely, there is only but the sacrificial altar remaining.” said Boniface.

“This man is really outta the loop huh..” Vykk says to the people crowding the sole norlandic missive table “Considering nobody lives in darrowmere and keeper amice is dead...”

“Just because nobody lives in Darrowmere does not mean the soldiers that did should evade justice and keeper Amice was seen but a few days ago.” replied Boniface.

Just now, Boniface said:

“Just because nobody lives in Darrowmere does not mean the soldiers that did should evade justice and keeper Amice was seen but a few days ago.” replied Boniface.

 “That literally changes none of the facts...” Vykk says “Nobody lives in darrowmere still and keeper amice is still dead.” Vykk says literally staring at the urn that say Alifer Amice on it

[RipBeppy 212]

*Queen Alexandra reads this, laughing* “I watched this man get slaughtered in the streets of Morsgrad, prior to that, I kicked him out of Marivesse, if he comes back this man is an undead and will face punishment. I did not consent to the churches deformation. I will be sending personal letters to the Pontif and others about this. Darrowmere is currently a dead place, why would anyone want it? Nonetheless, I took over a dead kingdom as well.”

[AstriaS 4988]

The High Keeper would sigh, rolling her eyes. “I suppose I’ll respond,” the priestess complained, taking out her paper and writing utensils to begin writing a response to one Friar Boniface.

To Friar Boniface,

To ask for the extradition of an urn is silly; You embarrass yourself. If you wish to have a pot full of ashes to prosecute for a crime committed outside your empire, then by all means, be my guest. The man was put to death. Be content with the course of justice, rather than finding reasons to complain about people who bear you no ill will. Furthermore, I will remind you that I quite openly opposed the Courlandic claim to be part of our faith. Leave the past in the past, lest your soul be consumed by the apparent hatred within you. 

Father’s Blessings,

High Keeper Alisa Camian

[growingivy 3382]

Dame Athri the Albatross gave an unimpressed look at what she read. "Well, some live in Darrowmere now. Not like any were around when any of this happened. I won’t let innocent soldiers be killed for old wrongdoings." The soon to be Rabbit muttered under her breath some more, ready to see if the Empire were to actually try to take her men.

They have likely killed him to prevent the High Keeper from facing Canonist justice, as such conversions of cathedrals cannot be done without the approval of the High Keeper.” A young red haired girl of mismatched eyes would respond to the elder priest. She sighs and shrugs, continuing to sharpen a blade for unknown reasons, though clearly there was no aggressive intent to her posture as she spoke. ”Tread carefully, priest. Historically they’ve put you and yours to the blade, or tried to, and it would seem they’ve been consorting with agents of evil.” Her worries said aloud, she tucks a cig in the corner of her mouth and lights it, wandering off, singing an old tavern song.

[jolfrey 155]

”Who is this Friar and what authority does he think he has in Norland?” Jolfrey Elessar exclaims. “Bloody Orenians always demanding we bow down and listen to them. We will worship as we wish here. You won’t lay one finger on us Damerians or anyone in Norland.” 

[monkeypoacher 8055]

“It is in the divine order of things that heathens live out their brief, dolorous existences. You must live, and let piastdoms die.”
