PAPAL BRIEF OF 1803, 356 ES

The scars, the pus, the painful breaths of Ser Brandt Barlcay: it bothered His Holiness profoundly. As the maimed Knight shyly returned the helmet onto his head, Owyn III couldn't help but to scan his Knight-Regent & Knight Komnenos for their responses. Was he the only one that could weep for his fate? A man merely doing his job for his people somewhere in the nation of Norland, to be punished so severely: to be maimed beyond one eye escaping the wall of bandages? 

 

"GOD.." he whispered to himself, standing before the Knight and his own "What must I do to help this man, GOD?". As his eyes were closed, looking upwards, he came to a realization. What would follow was the blessing of Ser Brandt Barclay. His Holiness, trying to hide his nauseous feelings at the sight of the acid-scorched skin and foul smell beneath his armour, would see through until the end of the ceremony. 

 

Although Owyn III would be clinking Whiskey glasses with Maer Barbanov shortly after: discussing chess and the alcoholic tendencies of his kinfolk, he couldn't get his mind off what he had seen. It made him feel perversely privileged somehow: standing amidst laughter and drinks in fine robes, as that Barclay now walks home. Not just weighed down by his armour that hides his sorry fate, but by what seemingly felt as punishment for a job well done. 

 

As His Holiness finished the document in his office in Providence, he couldn't quite get himself to grow at ease. He would linger on doubts about what he should ask Cardinal Reinmar when he sees him once more, and if it is appropriate to inquire of one's kin like that to begin with.

PAPAL BRIEF OF 1803, 356 ES
Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, Jorenus 
@Gusano @LithiumSedai@dmitris @Piov @GoodGuyMatt

 

OWYN III, pontifex maximus, servus servorum Dei, episcopus Sancta Sedes,

 

Wishes to inform its congregations of a most productive meeting between His Holiness the High Pontiff Owyn III & Maer Barbanov on matters of inter-jurisdictional cooperation and the mutual expansion of the cultural sector in Karosgrad. 

 

The Holy Mother Church is pleased with the direction of Maer Barbanov’s reforms, which greatly adds to the representation of our clergy and their congregations into the cultural landscape of Hanseti-Ruska, but also allows for more direct contact between GOD and His Flock.

 

Outlines have been agreed upon where the Haeseni dioceses shall, with His Holiness personally involved, coordinate a greater effort to celebrate saints & integrate the Haeseni clergy into the cultural discourse. His Holiness hopes that through his diligent representatives in Karosgrad, this shall lead to a direct increase of faith-related festivities & events in the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska.

 

The Archdiocese of Jorenus is embarking on a fundraising campaign throughout Karosgrad to increase revenues for the ministries of the Church. The Archbishop and the clergy will dedicate a series of speeches and the production of religious sacramentals to raise the budgets for future operations and travels. His Holiness shall carefully observe the proceedings of this endeavor, as his High Pontificate aspires to establish an inter-diocesan economic system at a later stage.

 

His Holiness had furthermore blessed Ser Brandt Barclay after discovering that he had been disfigured by acid in a mission in the nation of Norland. Having prayed to St. Tylos, Kristoff & Karl and showered by holy water: it is hoped that Ser Brandt Barclay, a valiant Knight of Hanseti-Ruska, shall find a speedy recovery of his torment in the flesh and the soul. His Holiness would like to remind the people of Hanseti-Ruska that any wounded or tormented folk, physically and spiritually, are free to seek counsel and healing from the Holy Mother church.

 

His Holiness furthermore wishes to express its gratitude to the royal Household of Barbanov and the civilian government of Karosgrad for their efforts in thawing a relationship once frozen between Holy Mother Church & Kingdom. GOD smiles upon those that make great effort to bring His Word closer to the common man. It is hoped that one day, His Holiness could show his Haeseni colleagues and friends the splendour of Providence himself in return. 

 

Te Deum.

 

PONTIFEX MAXIMUS 
OWYN III

The mentioned disfigured Barclay crosses the Lorraine once more after the couple times he did during his humbled blessing, the man mumbling something about being grateful to GOD as he went on about his business. Now in a better mood, praises of Saint Tylos, Kristoff and Karl running through his head, as he himself would humbly pray for the Pontiff, confident in himself that he'd be in his holiness own prayer.

"Truly a man of GOD, just like all Barclays are." Theophilos Komnenos exclaimed, signing the Lorraine as he heard about the man's incident while conducting a mission in Norland.
