GOD AND THE PEER

Saint James II in his most holy wisdom, was a student of Lord’s peace. Beneath his spectacled gaze, he contemplated the wonder of God in the world, and the Empire, and all men of faith. He oversaw, during his holy reign, this dismantling of feudal pride, and reconciled the peer with my country, born new. He loved peace, and so he sewed it. 

 

Whence the Atheran King of Sutica rendered great insult unto the Imperial family, he commanded their war end, for he knew that Princes of God could not reconcile themselves through a contest of pride.

 

Whence the Haeseni Monarch could not reconcile his power with his Imperial sovereign, Saint James II discovered for them their peace, for he knew that Princes of God must live in peace before they suffer from the iniquities of war.

 

He knew these things for he knew the Word of the Lord. He knew the Tapestry of Man, stained many times over with its own blood. For this wisdom, he was gifted the Grace of the Lord.

 

“I name you pontifex, for you are a builder of bridges.” (Godfrey, 6:61)

 

In the heart of we Children of God, we suffer from our innate pride. Our people grow in earth watered with the blood of our ancestors, and we forget. The Lord is our Divine teacher, who will show us only what is before our present eyes, and the stories of our promulgation. The Lord knows that we are mortal sinners and do not comprehend Him, so He commands us to know ourselves.

 

“The Lord said to him “Here is My Gospel, which is the history of your people.” (Godfrey 7:32)

 

The old arms of we Peers is contrived, and harkens to eras of nearly endless skirmish with one’s brother. It is the very practice of pride, that we would seek for that which does not do the good work of the Lord; a monument built to ourselves, and not for the Grace of God. Now, where once we revered ourselves, we were humbled before God and the Empire, His gift to us. The Peer is the administrator of memory, servant eternally to this charge.

 

“We are the heirs to Horen and have continued him by this empire.” (Godfrey, 6:43)

 

It shall be our irrevocable duty of the faithful to serve the word of the Lord, and so the duty is many times that for we scions of our Imperial history, which is the Gospel itself.  We who regress ourselves towards feudal pride understand little of God. This marked history is not to be emulated for glory, but to be ascended from in our purest peace with the Lord. 

 

“You will know him, for with peace he gathers the sons of Horen, where the sword has divided them.” (Godfrey, 7:52)

 

So now, it shall be everlasting, that our armies are pointed towards the foe who wrings its wrists and gnaws at our Faith. That we are one with God and country shall be the monument of our time, delivered unto us by the holiness of our Saints and the Divinity of God. Shall the Peer accept his mantle as the scion of the Gospel, we shall be undivided in permanence. The pagan will be rendered helpless before us. The heretic shall know no peace till he has seen his iniquity extinguished in holy fire. 

 

“Thus arrayed are the forces of God.” (Sigismund, 2:22)
