Burnsider 4542 Popular Post Share Posted December 27, 2021 The Miracle at Woldzmir As witnessed by Presbyter Ileana on the 7th of Harren's Folly, 1852 Often have I traveled from the city of New Providence to the Barony of Woldzmir, attending to the people in Dobrov, since the memorial service of the murdered heir to the Throne of Man. Even as the Imperial Ban of Anna Elizaveta Tuvyic fell upon the people there, still I traveled to this place, the Last Bastion of the Faithful in the Empire. Today, I arrived there to witness a marvelous site, a true miracle of GOD sent as a message to the Anathemata of the Empire. As the people of Dobrov last fled from the Empire that has cast them out, fire from the Seven Skies descended upon Woldzmir, engulfing and entirely obliterating the keep that was once home to Anna Elizaveta Tuvyic and her family and the consecrated memorial site of the Fallen Heir. GOD has shown his favor to the Tuvyic family and His disfavor to the Anathemata of the Empire, refusing to allow the Empire to lay claim to the Last Bastion. Upon this discovery, I ventured around the site of the miracle, consecrating it to GOD. But it is a paltry effort to what GOD has already done, for what can I, a mere shepherd of His people, consecrate that He has not already done by Holy Fire. And so I pray to Him, our Father: GOD is the author of victories, and in Heaven, there is no difference between but a few and a great many. For our courage is not in the multitude of the army, but strength cometh from Heaven. They come against us with an insolent multitude, and with pride, to destroy us, and our wives and children, and take our lands. But we will fight for our lives and our laws, and as for the enemy, we shall fear them not. We will trust Him. Spoiler 38 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry 1859 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Grand King Ulfric would read such a missive with an ever-raised brow, peering over letters and the such afterwards. He'd lean back and smile, offering only one phrase. "T'at's one way teh solve ah problem alroight." 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reckless Banzai Screamer 11508 Share Posted December 27, 2021 "JUNIPER!" Oijin screeched out from the Kukui farm upon hearing the news and rides his horse in the direction of Dobrov to find Moliana and Elimar. 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffee 1062 Share Posted December 27, 2021 "Praise be," murmured Josephine Tuvyic, gazing up at the night sky. All was calm, peaceful, and the light gilding her upturned face was that of soft starlight, not a pillar of flame. Far away from Dobrov, having disappeared without a trace like the rest of House Tuvyic, she touched her fingers to the cross at her neck and spoke a silent prayer only GOD could hear. Let it be over. Let us now, finally, be safe. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoanOfArc 4586 Share Posted December 27, 2021 While Father Temesch personally felt the removal of Moliana to be unjust as did his brothers, he felt very unnerved by the ‘coincidental firestorm’ by her eviction. He seemingly went to report to his godfather and the Arch-Lector the report from the Church regarding clear voidal magic (at least to him)…. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnBaed 8909 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Moliana chokes on her drink and has a coughing fit as word of this letter reaches her. "A MIRACLE?!" she said with immense surprise, before a delighted laugh of her amusement came from her - partially interrupted by more coughs from her drink. "I'll accept it being called that! As if anything would part me from what is mine." Shaking her head with a lingering smile, she got back to ensuring there were no cracks that had formed in the foundation of her home. She was the caretaker of Woldzmir, afterall. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonito 2262 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Elimar comes across the missive; the man was halfway through reading it when he suddenly collapsed into the nearest mound of dirt, thinking his wife and children dead. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiumSedai 4835 Share Posted December 27, 2021 53 minutes ago, GoodGuyMatt said: "A miracle from Infant-Martyr Ottomar, surely!" exclaims Hieromonk Ernst The Landgrave of Alstreim wiped a single tear off his cheek, stopping it from potentially staining the missive in his hand. "Truly did my saintly brother send down a pillar of flame to engulf yet another sanctuary of the righteous, rather than let it fall into unholy hands," he commented to his spouse. @Tigergiri 9 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunaZaldrizoti 5674 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Charlotte Augusta read over the Presbyter's declaration of a miracle with an amused hum, pleased word had begun to spread. Seated at her desk within the Dowager's Tower, her gaze drifted out over the new landscape that surrounded their looming fortress. It filled her with pride, to know that her daughter was not one to let her home go without a fight. Her eldest child had inherited her fervent belief in righteousness, it seemed. The Dowager-Duchess returned then to the letter she had been authoring, GOD's intended purpose for the imperial princess looming ever-closer on the horizon.

Lojo613 1420 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Stor blinks at the missive before shaking his head “And I suppose this woman probably thinks the destruction of Johannesburg was a miracle as well… such assumptions about random large explosions makes the church look backwards and ignorant” he comments to his fellow lectors “GOD does not wage wanton carnage to further a political agenda.” 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islamadon 4424 Share Posted December 27, 2021 "BY OWYN... The Lectors were truly born in Dobrov after witnessing the late Ostromir's cadaver... For years we've suspected foul play in those wretched woods. We bore witness when Ando Alur rose, and then crumbled with continental devastation. I've seen flying castles... Something is wrong here, terribly, terribly wrong!" commented a concerned Lector. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
