Shambleau 24 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) ((The following message is posted on fliers throughout the Human kingdoms.)) Request for an Investigation into Treason Committed by Philip III of the House Novellen 8th of Horen's Calling, 1850 To Whom it May Concern, I call upon loyal Orenians to demand a formal investigation into potential treason committed by the current Emperor of Oren, Phillip III of the house Novellen. This year has been hectic with Oren's war with Urguan, the death of the late Emperor, Phillip II, and his heir-apparent, Prince Philip Aurelian. Now, Oren is on the verge of creating a schism in the Church and starting a second front with the Kingdom of Haense. And suddenly, Oren's longtime enemy, the Savoyards, are "friendly" with Oren. Out of nowhere. This is all too convenient, and as a result I request a call to action in order to investigate the following crimes he may have committed: 1. Plotting to usurp the throne of Oren and the title of Emperor. 2. Orchestrating the murder of Philip II and his heir-apparent, Prince Philip Aurelian. 3. Instigating raids on Oren. 4. Instigating a coup with the backing of the Kingdom of Savoy. 5. Plotting to install an anti-pope loyal to himself and Savoy. 6. High Treason against the Empire. 7. Creating unnecessary conflict with Hanseti. I make these claims not off-handedly, or even in love of Oren, but for Prince Philip Aurelian, whom I loved dearly. I request clarity and an enlightenment into these terrible events which have been brushed aside. Any loyal citizen of Oren who loved the former heir should want the same. Should Phillip III be suspected of ANY of these crimes, he should be brought to trial on grounds of High Treason.

monkeypoacher 6993 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Flyers are posted in turn. "The last followers of Philip II, heretofore hidden in shame at the conduct of the lecherous monster who gave them patronage and entitled them to nobility, have finally gathered the courage - emboldened by vicious gossip - to expose their treason against the Emperor. Know that these courtiers' relationship to the Empire is that of the son caught en flagrante with the household maid. They may make their squandering rationalizations; they may libel others at random, in vain attempts to escape their own blame; they may speak of wild phantasms, unbelievable plots, and vicious intrigues; but their words are not to be heeded. Remember that a child caught out in misbehavior will say anything to spare himself the rod. Know that it is necessary to chasten lying children, from time to time, for their moral progress. Know that if you follow Philip II "the Fiddler" still, you will follow him into the grave. Our Empire will no longer stand idly by as it is betrayed by those who call it home, nor will it bow to the likes of upstart Kings and heathen hosts. You are offered a singular choice now - to give up what is ill-gotten, and join your Imperial brothers and sisters in peace and progress, or perish namelessly in the annals of history." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An old man goes around, city to city; as he sees the fliers, he paints a picture of the late Prince Philip Aurelian on them, who had done no wrong. He ends the picture by dipping his hand in red paint and planting it on the image of the late Prince.
