Draeris 3118 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2021 A thick smoke originated from the Augustine palace, clouding the horizon before the small gathering of clergymen on the balcony. The Apostle-General walked forward to the Pontifex Maximus, saluting as his eyes followed Owyn's cigarette being tapped over the ashtray. "Rennes." Owyn III dryly stated, his back still turned to him as his eyes remained fixated on the devastated palace, the Pontifical Legate & Secretary joining the general's flank. "Your Holiness." the Apostle-General responded, nodding once before being interjected by the Pontifical Legate "Your Holiness, it seems that the Xannites were behind this terrorist attack. We should ask our contacts in the House of Commons to outla-." Owyn III raised his hand, silencing the Legate "If heretics are targeting us, trying to wipe us out, the Holy Mother Church will stop them. If we wait for politicians and the House of Commons to act... There will be no seat of the Fidei Defensor left. " "Understood, Your Holiness." the three would express together, the Secretary moving forward with a file "Auditor Vicary has reviewed your draft, and says it's good to go, Your Holiness." "Splendid, Nicolas." Owyn III would turn around, now facing the gathering "I will publish this decree. General, it's up to you to do the rest." THE FIRST CRUSADE By Decree of Sanctitas Pontifex Maximus OWYN III Most beloved children of the Descendants; we, the High Pontificate of Owyn III, by the grace of God shepherd of his greatest flock, bring to all people of this world a divine admonition. It is known as a fact of the scrolls that to live a virtuous life you must gladly do the things which you know will please Him. We have long spoken of the great disorder in the world caused by the Xannite heathens and speak of their crimes without the crooked knee of conciliation that seeded histories past. We exhort and demand that you, each, try hard to retain peace within the realms of the Church. Our brethren in Oren are in urgent need of the help of the faithful, who must apply the strength of their righteousness to hasten to give them aid. For, as most must have now heard, the Xannite heathens have attacked them and sought to both harm the majesty of the Holy Orenian Emperor and sow discord across his worshipful provinces. They sought to kill and capture many, and have destroyed buildings to devastate the empire. The temporal governments of this plane allowed them, against our caution, to inhabit Canonist cities and partake in our societies: for they would bring coin and labour. Now, they have brought destruction. On this account We, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Canonists to publish this everywhere and persuade all people of whatever rank, from footmen to barron-knights, richest of pocket to poorest of beggar, to carry aid to those Canonists that bring arms against these Xannic apostates. All who die in holy battle against these pagans shall have immediate remission of sins, this granted to them through the power of God who invests this as a blessing in taking up arms for a holy cause. The Apostle-General and our esteemed Supreme Order of Exalted Owyn shall, alongside all Canonists willing and able, cleanse the streets of Providence & beyond from the Xannite heretics & architects of violence against GOD. We condemn all with a fearful anathema, all those who proclaim the Xannite heresies, and those who dare to molest those engaging in this journey for God. To any Xannite Paladin, and bearer of aggression to the Fidei Defensor and our Clergy, your end is proclaimed by our decree. Should anyone led by his arrogance or cupidity go against this edict and take up arms to defend the Xannite heathens that attacked the Holy Orenian Empire, by authority of God and with the sanction of the office of our High Pontificate, he too shall be anathematized and find his or her own decimation from GOD’s plane. Te Deum. GODANI JEST WIELKI SANCTITAS PONTIFEX MAXIMUS OWYN III 40 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child Neglecter 2104 Share Posted February 3, 2021 A soldier, eyes full of sullenness, grave haunting, and prophetic madness, grumbled at the sight of the Crusade - silently pocketing it, as a pale hand raised to his lips so as he might cough, expending the contents of his throat - lifting fist to the grey skies. "They will it. The GOD, perhaps neij. There will be bodies to bury; this, I know. Aesh Dea." 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We march, we fight, it is time that we prove our faith through the sword and when the fighting is over, let us melt our swords down into ploughs. Every generation has it's challenges, it's enemies. THIS IS OUR CHALLENGE, THIS IS OUR TIME."
