Burnsider 4542 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2021 Lo, though I am but a Voice in the Wilderness, I proclaim a time of sin and woe amongst the Sons of Horen. For war fought against anyone, even pagans, must follow certain prescripts to be considered just, and wars are harder to be won when acting righteous. Yet, even so, righteously they must be fought. For if the Sons of Horen who follow the almighty GOD win the battle, but lose their souls, there is zero victory. Hence now do I, Joaquin Nuñez of Osanora, do leave the wilderness and come upon you as a baptized Canonist. Long have I called out the Canonist Princes that hold the thrones of Haense and Oren for their sin using methods outside the Church. No longer. For when these men use their faith as a sword against the Pagan in order to commit sin most foul, the Church cannot stay idle. It must act. And so, I now call upon the Church to uphold its oath to GOD and its code to govern the souls of men. I come now, as a baptized member of the church, and petition the church for the declaration of juridic facts and imposition of penalties through ecclesiastical trial against the respondents. Accuse I now the following Canonists of a breach of Canon Law: The Count of Susa, Iskander Alexios Basrid The Count of Valles, Erik Othaman The Countess of Halstaig, Azariah O’Rourke The Count of Kositz, Erik Ruthern And so petition the church that they, in the attack on innocents within Elysium: 1. Committed a crime against GOD by murdering innocents; 2. Committed a crime against GOD by attempting to murder one who has not obtained the age of majority; 3. Committed a crime against GOD by encouraging and commanding members of the Imperial State Army to breach canon law; 4. Broke Canon Law by not attempting to resolve violent conflicts with as few casualties as possible, and assaulting targets that were unnecessary for a speedy and virtuous peace; and 5. Broke Canon Law by not treating prisoners of war humanely. The path of righteousness is not easy, and doubly so for a warrior. But that does not excuse the unwarranted and unholy actions that have taken place over this last Saint's Day. I ask now that the Church quickly assign a judge to handle this case, so that it may be resolved quickly. 48 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostSHTR 1002 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Archimandrite Vladrick would sign the Hussariyan "Even though innocents were of heathen faith, it is not within our Canonist ways that they are to be slaughtered like Cattle. For all are Children of Horen even those who do not see the light" He'd state 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Askuzai 492 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Dramyr was shocked! He had never expected such a well written call to action to come from outside Norlands pacts and allies. "I knew it! These monsters of Oren have done wrong under their god!" he exclaimed, shocked that he was previously right on such a thing. "For as many laws as Oren holds to façade a system of Justice; They showed their lack of with their actions thusfar. Let us hope Justice resparks within them and something comes of this. Allfather willing. He is Justice." Dramyr prayed, directly to the Allfather, before walking around the land of Norland to set a runed stone on each of the Paragon shrines as patronage.

_pr0fit 2945 Share Posted May 3, 2021 "Hopefully justice will be found, for as much as the Kingdom of Oren decries us savages who want nothing more than to destroy their way of life, we would never dare to harm a child, moreso an infant babe." Vane states disgusted by the events that had unfolded naught a month ago. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qaz_The_Great 1189 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Caedric nods, at the rare glimpse of honor in the Church of Canon, he'd say to those around him, "I wish t'is man luck. He 'as uncovered an ugly and political wound these Orenians wish te' keep covered up. I wish ye' 'em best of luck in 'is effort but do fear 'is life is endangered from t'ose 'e calls kin fer' such whistleblowin'." He'd return to training for his raids on Orenian soldiers upon the road. Being outnumbered means you best be more skilled than the others.

JoanOfArc 4586 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Cardinal Gawain Briarwood, FSSCT, smashes his hand against the desk, screaming at the news of the dead children that arrived at this desk. "Curse the ISA, they didn't kill enough women and children! I should go to the general and tell him to get troops that aim a little lower!" 21 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRCHENN 3663 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Father Vinzant picks the missive up with a begrudged look, quickly turning to his pen as he addresses the ill-informed author. "To Joaquin of Osanora, The only “transgression” that has been made here is your judgement. I write to you in pity of your situation, as your thoughts and actions have been influenced by the same aggressors that we face today. The same aggressors that have taxed and killed our own priests. But do niet fear, I do not envy you for this. I pity you, that you have been used as an instrument for their own gain. These people are not Canonist, and your misinterpretation has wholly ignored that thesis. To address your claims: All soldiers of the ISA requested that those who did not want to be included within the raid, not take arms upon the Empire. Tacitly, their recognition and participation in the battle meant that they too became aggressors. It was the likes of the Norlanders who put armor and weapons into the hands of their own children. Similar to the logic in the aforementioned contention, it should have been the responsibility of the adults and Norlandic guards not to endorse engaging children and members that have not been raised to the age of the majority, in battle. It disgusts this author that they were even allowed to partake in the battle by the pagan aggressors. See previous arguments. If anything, the violence was aimed to be completed with as few casualties as possible, in which the soldiers requested that all those who did not want to take up aggression against the Empire, not participate within the raid. All prisoners of war were immediately released upon questioning and releasing their own affidavits upon their own merit. We must keep in mind that these Pagan belligerents dared to invade the Defender of the Faith and His realm, hiring barbarians of their own ilk with the intention of killing far more children. This Tenth Nordling War was started by these aggressors with the intention of bloodshed, to destroy Our society because of their own jealousy. Your sentiments disappoint me, as they are misinformed, priest of Osanora. Claiming that lives have been lost when the Norlandic aggressors themselves have started this war is only naive of you, and all your thesis practically argues for is to allow Orenians to be genocided. I ask you this: Will we not fight our own righteous war to cleanse their sin, and guarantee the protection and defense of our own? Is raising a blade against the assault of our posterity not righteous? Do not let the pagan belligerents invade your mind, and turn yourself against your own Canonist brethren. May Godan be with you, Father Vinzant. " 20 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmiliainWonderland 1526 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Augustina scoffed. "Faith is ******* stupid anyways. Where's the fun in being a soldier without a few war crimes?" Augustina was not a soldier, but she was most definitely not in her right mind. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endovelicus 610 Share Posted May 3, 2021 "Does the Church even have the authority to trial civilians? Not to mention that there's no Canon Law on warfare, I don't think.

grnappa 1230 Share Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) The Count of Valles blinks as he reads the message, leaning back in his chair as he rubs his chin in thought. "I literally have niet idea who vy are." "They declare war, get their asses handed to them on a silver platter, and complain that we are killing them in a war." "It just shows that each Norlander makes a ritual sacrifice of intelligence upon becoming a red faith worshipper." "Want to nie have children killed? Do nie arm them. But vy are already scraping the bottom of the barrel so I am nie altogether surprised." "We asked for peace." Edited May 3, 2021 by grnappa 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrakeHaze. 2481 Share Posted May 3, 2021 "Back to the wilderness with you, fiendish fellow. Your virtue signaling will find you no friend." comments James Fisher upon reading the missive, properly storing it within the shelves in his home to keep it documented "Wildmen believing pagan propaganda. Nothing new.." he'd say with an annoyed sigh. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
