ReveredOwl 5317 Popular Post Share Posted September 14, 2021 Spoiler IF YOU WANT PEACE, PREPARE FOR WAR SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM TO THE HIGH PONTIFF & CANONIST PRINCES We have known for years now the threat that the azdrazi menace poses to our most holy institution and the sanctity of souls yet we do nothing. We proclaim that we search for them but we do not. We became lax in our duties to oust the demons from our realm that they were able to fester like an infestation of rats and grow in strength. The demons of the lizard, Azdromoth, grew emboldened by our inaction and in the dead of night they struck. The azdrazi demons crept into the Basilica of The Ascent of Exalted Godfrey as the city slept and with their nefarious magic they spread fire throughout the building which set alight to everything. The stone crumbled and cracked under the immense heat of the flames, if the citizenry were not awoken by the glow of the flames they were woken by the loud noises echoing across the city as the pillars and structural support of the building collapsed. It has been a long time since the Holy Canonist Church has received such a blow to our infrastructure and such a serious provocation. When we initially made our announcement regarding the azdrazi we stated that if our clergymen or church were to come under attack or harm then we would respond in kind. It has been over a year since the azdrazi attacked and destroyed our Basilica and yet the canonist princes and the Pontiff have remained silent on it, it was not even mentioned in the recent golden bull. Whilst renovations and plans are being drafted by myself for a revamped Basilica, we can not just disregard this most blatant attack against our Holy Mother Church. It is therefore that I petition His Holiness, High Pontiff Everard VI to issue an urgent call to arms and declare that a holy crusade is to be had in order to protect our Holy Mother Church from further aggression and attack. It is a well known fact that most, if not all of Haelun’ors populace worship Azdromoth and have provided sanctuary and a base of operations to the azdrazi menace. The High Elves of the Silver State of Haelun’or have also enlisted the assistance of the azdrazi in their military to fight against the valiant and brave soldiers of the Kingdom of Haense. I therefore request that you issue a crusade and demand that the canonist princes of the realm, His Imperial Majesty, the defender of the Faith, Emperor Philip II, his Serene Highness Olivier Renault and all other soldiers who follow the canonist faith take up arms against the Silver State of Haelun’or for harbouring those who would attack our church and to eradicate the azdrazi that also reside within. I can not fathom why no response or call to arms have been issued already but I pray that you see reason and do not let the azdrazi and high elven accomplices get away with this direct attack on the Holy See. We must take up arms and join our canonist brothers, the Kingdom of Haense, who are already in an armed conflict with Haelun’or. If we want peace amongst us in canondom then we must all unite and rid the realm of those who would dare attack us. HIS EMINENCE, Basil Cardinal Allobrogum, Archbishop of Allobrogum, Pontifical Chamberlain Spoiler This is a public letter. 43 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rukio 8910 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Aobh Aldin idly passes the wooden, carved lovebirds, a gift from Galenus on her wedding day, between her hands. News of the proposed Crusade had reached her, and so she sat in the Elysium gardens, reflecting on the past twenty or so years. A small smile of uncertain origins lingered on her visage. "For once, my love, I'm glad you're off wandering, safe from this whole ordeal. For better or worse...perhaps Haelun'or will answer for its crimes." 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWhiteWolf 1028 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Deep below the earth in the graveyard of a long lost civilisation an ephemeral spirit sat languidly upon a menhirious throne. Wisps of luminescent azure mists slowly curling away from their spectral robes that fluttered gently in an unfelt breeze. Before that unhallowed Barrowlord, a single lone Acolyte rested upon one knee as they delivered the message. "How interesting.." with but the briefest upward flick of their wrist, the letter was cast into the stygian waters below to rest beside the chained dead. "Rouse the Scions and Geists from their slumber, it's time..." 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryloth 4312 Share Posted September 15, 2021 "No-one has done anything in this manner as the vast majority is ravings of a mad-man, and the Empire is allied to Haelun'or. High Elves don't worship anything. When will they find the Azdrazi temple in Oren?" "I wonder too when he'll figure out that the Imperial State Army's Fourth Brigade was founded upon the Azdrazi." He murmurs as he reviews the call. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He murmurs as he reviews the call. Elene Swint rolls in agony at the statement from somewhere far away. For she was not an Azdrazi, nor was the founder, her husband, nor were most of the Brigade when they first joined. No, they were all quite human once, striving for an ideal country, protecting it from sights most would never believe. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MokoMochi 422 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Alona, in her room, would jot a quick note in her journal near her pink mana orb in hand. She would be deep in thought, analyzing the news from some sort of missive that she finally heard about. She recalls an event earlier at the gates of Elysium and danced through those thoughts as she replay the details in her mind. Alona shakes her head, puts down the quill into the journal, and would begin to rub her head. She would dim out her pink aura light in hand as she closes it to a fist. She relaxes her hands putting them at her side as she let out a sigh "It feels there's never a moment for rest" She says with a yawn as her eyes begin to close a bit "So I will take this short one. And look more into this tomorrow." and would close her journal. She gets up and heads off to bed. She hugs her sheep plushie and her husband as she closes her eyes, and would sleep 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damnit_Delmar 1029 Share Posted September 15, 2021 (edited) Vesryn read the letter, his brow's furrowing in concentration as nodded. "Well then, I assumed something like this would occur." He would look at the wall, it's grey fixtures and tones, shifting in the rays of the lantern light. His own thoughts wandered to the events at the gate, what he had seen. His lips would turn to a frown, one of disappointment. "When will they understand I wonder." He lifted up his mask, slowly leaving his house as he made his way out into the forest, heading to his current research project.

Do you need help cringelord???” A passerby calls from wherever she is, even if in her house, from a nearby window or otherwise. Clearly, he was trying to help her! "Help, I've died and I can't get up." Came the woeful response. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurferDurfer1 2584 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Shobolan, having taken some time to make his fire proof armor, ponders the economic opportunity of perhaps selling some of said fireproof armor, resistant to even the hell flame of azdrazy. He could probably make a good chunk of mina doing it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
