Gavin_ 1834 Share Posted April 15, 2022 (edited) Spoiler https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXFSK0ogeg4 THE ANOVIAN EMPIRE “We carry the torch to light the way for the next era of man.” Issued and Confirmed on the 3rd of the First Seed Year 72 of the Second Age by His Imperial Majesty, Frederick I. Ab Cinerem Imperium, from the Ashes of the Empire, the Empire of Anovia is born from the desire of man for liberty and justice, to replace the corrupt Horenic and Novellian regime that has strangled humanity for countless decades. The Empire of Anovia, formed by the Great House of Staunton, serves as a replacement to the Holy Orenian Empire, which has proven to be futile for humanity. Be it their corrupt and wicked Emperors desire for glory and prestige on the battlefield at the expense of the common man or their mad Emperor’s demand for the destruction of the Capital of humanity, simply to spite his enemies, humanity can no longer stand idle and submit to Horen and Novellen Emperors, their only claim for legitimacy being their supposed ‘divine right’. Instead We, the holders of the torch that will lead the way for the next era of man, form this Empire on the principles of liberty and justice and cite our legitimacy from the desire of mankind for a stable and sustainable nation. We, as the servants of Humanity and God do declare the House of Horen and the House of Novellen as enemies of Humanity, and We do so declare unconditional warfare on the House of Horen and the House of Novellen and all those who call them master. We declare the dominion of the Empire of Anovia over all mankind. We will bring a new era for man and a new era for all of the descendants, however the plague that cripples humanity must be erased first. Signatum sub oculis Dei Deus HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY, Frederick I of the House of Staunton, by the Light of God, Emperor of Anovia, Forever August, King of Courland, of Lotharingia, Mardon, Hanseti, Ruska, Prince of Evreux, Duke of the Crownlands, Curon, Eastbourne, Courland, Eruthos, Frederica, Marna, Count of Beauclaire, Sundhold, Wett, Aleksandria, Riga, Johannesburg, Baron of Curonburg, Darkwood, Gravelhold, Supreme Protector of Man.

Javert 5594 Share Posted April 15, 2022 A certain King of Norland blinks profusely upon reading the missive alongside the stack of others. He looks to the other missives of the pledges of fealty and such, before turning back to the declaration "Did I miss a chapter?" 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnsider 4542 Share Posted April 15, 2022 To Frederick Staunton, From Gunter Barclay, Soldarius of the Supreme Order of Exalted Owyn and Secretariat to His Holiness, In receipt of your recent proclamation, I would be remiss if I did not contact you and and point out that Canon Law is explicit in that "none shall claim the title of Emperor except the Holy Orenian Emperor, nor shall any state claim the title of Empire unless he be its ruler." Thank you for your time. I have forwarded a copy of your proclamation to the Auditor of the Tribunal. @Mordhaund 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Child Neglecter 2162 Share Posted April 15, 2022 INQUISITORIAL LETTER COMMINUET MALUM DISCORDIAE TO CRUSH THE APPLE OF DISCORD OF THE AUDITOR OF THE TRIBUNAL ARMAND CARDINAL ALLOBROGUM Addressed to the Pretender, Frederick Staunton. It has come to the attention of the Dicastery for Canon Law, and subsequently to the Tribunal of our Holy Mother Church, that, in your false attempt to claim your head and name to the throne of the Holy Orenian Empire, you have severely breached Canon Law itself. It is stated within the tomes, as such;"A person who claims the office of Holy Orenian Emperor without the approval of the High Pontiff incurs excommunication automatically, as do all who assist him." Thusly, to claim the role of Emperor without the consent of the High Pontiff, would logically warrant the Excommunication of the House of Staunton, as all those of your kin would seek to aid you in this act. Your attempt to the throne breeds discord and sinful chaos amongst all within Man, and is a crime against Man itself. Your claims to be a Servant of the GOD contradict all you say. Withdraw your declaration, or be faced with immediate Excommunication to all those who are the blood of the House of Staunton, pending investigation by the might of The Tribunal. All shall be weighed through the scales of judgement. ☩DURA LEX SED LEX☩ THE LAW IS HARSH, BUT IT IS THE LAW 25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaerie 3414 Share Posted April 15, 2022 A certain Barclay teen simply wonders why Hanseti and Ruska have been put in the titles, despite no mention of Barbanovs, Hanseti, or Ruska in the rest of the missive. She questions if such a man forgot a few things key things about Haense. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
