All information said here is what I gathered IRP through IRP conversations and dialogue An Artist Depiction of the final moments of Leopold I's life at the hands of the Emperor of Oren The Greatest Crime Your Holiness and faithful clergy of the Holy Mother Church, A crime against our Lord has been committed this saints day. A crime that is so severe, and so great that it brings me physical pain to write to inform you about. After an investigation concluded compiling from a number of witnesses and connections. Their names will be omitted for there is no leaps and no bounds this evil will not cross to ensure that his power remains preserved and absolute. This could very well be my last letter for my life now could be in grave danger if this letter falls into the wrong hands. But this is information that must be brought to light, it is my mission from God to do so Earlier this saint's day, a servant of our Lord God, Leopold I of Sedan entered into the graces of the Lord, to his everlasting kingdom in the seven skies. Leopold I did not go into the seven skies, an old man, surrounded by loving family as he took his breath. Rather he was the victim of a crime that can only be attributed to pure evil incarnate. The Anti Godani, the Anathemized Emperor of Oren took it upon himself to murder the man of GOD in cold blood. Leopold I came to New Providence, by his own free will. He came unarmed and unguarded, a man desperate to protect his people from the onslaught of the evil Empire. One last effort at peace, a sign of the highest levels of virtue. Upon hearing the request for peace from the Sedanians, Philip III, of whom the citizens of the Empire have the audacity to call him “The Great”, decided to draw a warhammer and smash Leopold I’s head in with it. A gruesome way to go for a man of virtue, a man who led his Sedanian people out from the shadows of the Tyranny of the Empire to a new life, and at the point of which Leopold begged for mercy and for peace. The Emperor of Oren committed the gravest sin against GODANI, and took the life of a servant of GOD. This crime cannot go unheard, and unanswered. At this moment Sedan stands on the frontlines of a renewed offensive from the forces of the Evil Empire. We as Faithful Canonists cannot allow ourselves to sit idly by as our brothers and sisters in GOD stare in the face of evil. Oren has made it clear that they would stop at nothing to destroy Sedan. The people of Sedan need our help, I pray that we can help defend a community of GOD, and honor the memory of Leopold I, a Martyr. Oh God the most high and Most Omnipotent, welcome, your faithful servant Leopold I into your eternal kingdom. Let him find the peace of which he fought for until his death. And let us gain the strength to defend our brothers and sisters as they face the enemies of your grace. We pray in your name. Amen. I remain an humble servant of GOD, Markos Bishop San Luciano Edited January 23, 2022 by bugbytes21 35 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickando 3395 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Your Holiness and faithful clergy of the Holy Mother Church, I address you not as one of your vaunted selves - for I am no ordained servant of GOD, and instead work endlessly to provide for my family in the poorly art of milk farming. Indeed, I am only literate due to the passing whims of a charitable Haeseni noblewoman, whose name I may never know - but I digress. The land upon which Sedan now sits (or at least, the city whose white-and-gold banners I am told is Sedan), was once my own home. My herd of twenty cows and two bulls once grazed the hills peacefully there; due to wars beyond my understanding, I have been forcibly displaced and my herd wrongfully slaughtered or stolen for passing Dwarf armies. I do not know what circumstances caused this war, nor have I met this excommunicated Emperor of mine - what I do know is that I have lost my livelihood and my home, and those that trample on it say they sought peace. Does the Church truly think we peons are so worthless before GOD, to value an invading prince beholden to GOD-hating halfmen (those that attacked Du Loc with a dragon a year ago), over his faithful flock? Is Sedan, after being given my farmlands, independent of the Dwarves, that he is now able to declare peace without his heathen masters' consent? Will I ever see my cows again?

I was shown this letter by a Savoyard acolyte, who once lived in my village and went to attend the monasterial school in their capital, and must say I am surprised.

Narthok 9213 Share Posted January 23, 2022 These race traitors came to the Emperor with cap and hand offering to flip sides in exchange for treasure and title. In return they were given what they justly deserved. The Emperor told this unreliable Leopold fellow that he would be merciful, sparing the race traitors of Sedan and merely putting their village to the flame. Leopold was given the due any human who opposes the Empire. It is frankly unbelievable that any would play the victim, when they, at the head of an invading army, having illegally settled upon IMPERIAL lands would immediately try to betray their dwarven overlords for demands of further gold and title. How far has humanity fallen that all vestiges of honour are little more than ancient myths, with the modern human noble comporting himself like a rodent in the gutter. This man deserved to have his traitorous skull crushed a thousand times. My full respects to the Emperor for properly upholding the dignity of humanity. Thus to all traitors. Finishing his tirade Manfred would return to his labours, arrows wouldn't fletch themselves and these chickens needed plucking 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faithfully, Louis of Southbridge Cowherd To Louis of Southbridge, Your letter has come to me and I am most concerned about your situation. I offer you my prayers for your wellbeing and for your family. The war has stretched everyone to their limit and I regret that the war has put you in the situation that you are in, and I pray that the armies of man and of non man, exercised further restraint in their warfare against the Orenian Empire, for it is the Anathemized Emperor that leads his sheep astray, not the farmer who just wishes to live. So long as I live my diocese and the holy mother church will never forget those who have fallen on hard times, no matter what nation they are from. GOD loves and embraces all, and it is our duty as the Holy Mother Church to house those who are unhoused, to help those who need help. I will personally get you new cows and find you new settlement may it be in Sedan, Savoy, or Haense that you can continue to do your work and grow your family. I will stop at nothing to see your livelyhood restored and your family safe, it is the holy mission of which GOD has ordained us clergy to do.
