Nectorist 7423 Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2021 TO HIS HOLINESS - 8th of Owyn’s Flame, 1850 To His Holiness, High Pontiff Everard VI, It is with great interest that We wish to return the state of human affairs to a docile and amicable nature, whereby the sons and daughters of Horen can find peace and worship under the One True Church. It is with grave misfortune that We were enraptured by heretical men in San Luciano this past year, and it is with great regret that We have seen the subsequent reverberations of those ill-intended men. Therefore, it is by the necessity for the Holy Orenian Emperor to show deference to GOD as His Vicar that We reject the Anti-Pontiff Michael I and rebuke those who support his baseless claim to His Holiness’ throne. Furthermore, it is Our decree that no loyal subject of the Imperial Crown shall recognize any Pontiff but that of Everard VI. For tradition dictates the methods through which a Pontiff can be removed and how a Pontiff can be enthroned, likewise they dictate the fundamental nature of Our Empire to support GOD’s Church. Consequently, We shall seek penance for Our transgressions to return Our Empire to a civil state, restore the Church’s sacraments to Our people, and bring Our Empire back into the good graces of the Church. A grave offense warrants a significant penance. Therefore, it is the following proposals that we deliver to His Holiness for His careful consideration: The ownership of land held by the Imperial Crown, designated to the High Pontiff, for the use of the Church and the Pontificate in perpetuity. A personal and private confession of Our sins to the High Pontiff at the restored Basilica of the Ascent of the Exalted Godfrey. The mutual reaffirmation of the current titles held by both His Holiness, the High Pontiff, Everard VI and His Imperial Majesty, Holy Orenian Emperor, Philip III. AD DEI GLORIAM, HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Philip III, Holy Orenian Emperor, forever August, King of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duke of Ves, Helena, Novellen, Furnestock and Lorraine, Baron of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders, Orenian Highlanders, and Farfolk, etcetera HER IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Anastasia of Kositz, Empress consort of the Holy Orenian Empire, Duchess consort of Furnestock 49 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taketheshot 3834 Share Posted December 9, 2021 The Count of Azor signed the lorraine across his chest as he knelt before the shrine to Saint Michael of Cordobe within his home, praying for the Empire and his fellow citizens as he spoke. "GOD is good.....his forgiveness outweighs all...." 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Emperors 1986 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Peter Augustus would remain in the palace chapel alone as the youth would close his eyes. He whispered, “God, I love you. My father loves you. Oren loves you.” The child was clearly learning first hand from events that erupted and began to develop a strong relationship to God and his faith. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Canonists, together," Empress Anastasia muttered from within the palace chapel, knelt in the pews. Edited December 9, 2021 by Eryane 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

excited 10833 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Sir Cato Perea flagellated himself within his private confines, his whip snapping. You could not defend the Pontiff, he reminded himself. You called him a Sinner. Blood and spittle caked the floor, his eyes beady and rimmed by shadows. He would not fail Canondom again. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhoris walked by the household of Sir Cato Perea and frowned heavily with a shake of her head.

"For in the words of Blessed Jon Renault, we bow to no man but GOD." 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReveredOwl 5350 Share Posted December 9, 2021 "All he offers is a measly plot of land that he can just as easily ****** away when they do not want Everard anymore, a confession and wants his title back in exchange for recognizing Everard as the true pontiff, these are not proposals, demands rather, that a sinner would make if they truly sought atonement. If the emperor wanted to repent he would join the Prince of Savoy on his humble trek to Karosgrad later today." said Walton. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seannie 6861 Share Posted December 9, 2021 "As previously remarked - Orenian words are like wind. I do not see a modicum of respect behind these thin veils of theirs. Their assault on the Pontiff, and subsequent fabrications was a deliberate attack on the entirety of Cannondom - the punishment, the penance, I hope, is to be scaled much higher. To even attempt the assumption of your own penance, while being at the mercy of the Church, is an audacious act in itself. The snakes will strike again when His Holiness is least ready, they simply did not account for the bravery of Haense the last time they tried. These new Orenians are a farce, and should be treated as such!" Maxim the Educated peasant said aloud to himself behind his quadruple bunker doors, almost as if he was crazed. 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
