SECTION I - ON THE ATRUS COVENANT

 

After what seemed like continuous diplomatic discussions, and a steady effort of the Kingdom of Balian to garner men in defense of its territory against the looming threat that is the undead dragon Cloudbreaker and its minions, Our most Holy Office is pleased to endorse the summit called by Balian and the establishment of the ‘Atrus Covenant’ to mark the important occasion.

As a result, We, in Our capacity as the High Pontiff and Vicar of GOD, strongly encourage the Canonist Princes around the world to be in attendance, as, similarly, We call those that find themselves capable of wielding a sword to support this righteous cause to be of assistance there.

We pray that, with the Lord our God as their benefactor, and Saint Lothar to guide their blades, the united forces of those that shall come to Balian’s defense succeed in driving the enemy off.

SECTION II - ON THE AZDRAZI

All of Canondom has been made aware of the Azdrazi attack on the royal family of Aaun - yet there are common people that have lost those most dear to them, horrible murders performed by the blood-lusting lizards. Once these killings are complete, their agents, the Heralds, sweep the evidence away, the very same Heralds who have at times infiltrated the governments of Canonist Princes, whispering evil thoughts into their ears to steer the faithful to their liking; away from the Lord’s Virtue as revealed through the Holy Scrolls.

 

This reveals to us that the Nephilim cannot be trusted. They are all too eager to announce to all that their duty is to be the protectors of humanity, but when the good people turn their back they kill, lie and try their damnedest to keep Azdromoth’s agents hidden.

Whilst it has taken Us a long time to come to this conclusion, to which We regrettably admit, We have found that after the recent worrying events their corrupting and self-righteous presence can no longer be ignored. For this reason, in memory of Our predecessors that maintained such and in hopes of protecting the good Canonist faithful that would otherwise have been corrupted, We officially declare the Azdrazi Inquisition is to be reinstated immediately.

We, in Our capacity as the High Pontiff and Vicar of GOD, humbly implore all those of the faithful that find themselves virtuously inspired to be of assistance to this cause and wish to be of service to reach out to the Grand Inquisitor, Kazimir var Ruthern, or others of the Inquisition.

We pray that, with the Lord our God as their benefactor, and the Holy Martyrs to guide them, the forces that take up arms to rid Humanity of this plight be successful in their righteous pursuit.

SECTION III - BEATIFICATIONS

 

It is through Our Apostolic Authority that We affirm the following beatifications…

 

BLESSED EMPEROR JOHN VI HOREN

Beatified for his brave and pious conduct against the pagan invasion of Oren and his martyrdom at the hands of Pertinaxi conspirators during the Coup of Adelburg. The spectral vision of John VI appeared before Saint Arpad in his own office in Castle Vilac and forgave him for his grave sins against him and the Empire, which convinced Saint Arpad to renounce his sinful life and embark on a path of righteous piety.

 

BLESSED GAIUS MARIUS

Beatified for guiding a lost Haeseni squire on his knightly trials after having been prayed to. Bl. Gaius Marius guided the young squire towards the beast he needed to slay for his trials and once it was slain appeared to the squire in full Teutonic fineries and guided him back home to safety.

FIDES RESTITUENDA
FAITH MUST BE RESTORED

 

Spoiler

TLDR: People are encouraged to attend the meeting in Balian, Azdrazi inquisition is restored, a few beatifications and venerations!

 

[kindEmperor 996]

A certain Nephilim cackled at such, before going to offer his words. "One Nephilim who hunts other Nephilim does something and our entire race receives the blame. . . TYPICAL. said the lizard. 

[satinkira 5798]

The Ash-Knight, after spending a few moments looking upon the paper, eventually snorts with anger, the missive crumpling in his armoured fingers.

I must.. send some letters.

 

[tadabug2000 3493]

Countess of Aquilae, Johanne Vuiller read over the golden bull, nodding to each section. She was certainly relieved the church called for all Canonist Princes aid in the war against Undead Cloudbreaker, and as she took note of the Azdrazi Inquisition, she made a mental note to ensure extra weapons were had.

[satinkira 5798]

Upon the noticeboards of Aaun, Haense and Balian, an old missive was pinned.

 

 

 

[Optimus420 1732]

Jan Arpad Ivanovich reads the papal bull and says a quiet prayer himself to his patron saint and ancestor, St. Arpad before saying to his comrades beside him, “for it is GODAN’s will.” 

[Valannor 6344]

[!] Attached to the copies of the illustrious Golden Bull would soon be penned an open letter, scribed by the Holy Lectorate in decades past.

[seannie 6832]

Hovering an array of documents and maps pertaining to the activities of the undesirables, Charles Alstion spoke on to his fellow compatriots, "As they say, a few rotten apples will spoil the whole bunch and my patience with these slaves of Azdromoth has expired. The Pontifex Maximus demands us to purify the land, and so we shall - their refusal to submit to the Almighty God and grant their patron redemption has decided this fate. If they cannot rein in their own subjects, we shall do it for them. The Azdrazy Inquisition commences henceforth, our Kingdom of Aaun shall rid itself of lizardry, root and stem all. Send word to the Grand Inquisitor of our dedication." 

 

"Obsequium religiosum." The Prince of the Alstions concludes in the speech of angels.

A particular 'Thill with bright blue eyes and pure white hair brings a subtle hand over the side of his mouth, whispering to Alatariel "What did you bribe them with?" A snicker escaping thereafter, thinking himself hilarious.

A scene comparable to Scooby-doo would ensue as the 'Thill tried to flee, only for the carpet rug underneath his feet to bawl up instead, himself stationary. He was horrified. He was embarrassed. He took the chance to hit her over the head with a cane and leap through the window. Elf on elf crime was at an all-time high, but the world of humans would soon be safe from the azdrazi plight, should this inquisition go better than its predecessor.

A figure meandered towards the keep, ceramic teapot in hands as she looked up at the golden tiled towers - only to see a tiny speck fall from a window. She squints, muttering "Are they throwing flightless birds out the window now?" Before proceeding to knock on their gates.

[Islamadon 4426]

"Who could have predicted that the Dragonmen would whispah' sweet nothings into the ears of weak minded men? Who had envisioned that they would act with selfish, heretical goals in mind? Who foresaw that they would continue to ignore the corruption of their master, and make weak justifications for their loyalties?" inquired a glowing Easterner. "I also want reparations for threatening to remove the fire altah' in Minitz, but no one can hear me..." he wept.

[MadOne 3375]

"Kal'Dorkarmorkar'Zorkar, the Dragonkin leal servant of Azdromoth sits in his temple of Aka'zorjar'morkar'dorkar, breathing smoke and soot out of his nose as he screeches and breathes out fire. He then travels outside and starts going on a rampage, killing and slaying random people on the street, banditting on the roads and extracting tribute on people who are travelling.

 

He then infiltrates the King's court and sends a private message to the King's letterbox asking for a councillor position. He gets rejected. Kal'Dorkarmorkar'Zorkar starts breathing fire in rage.

 

He then goes to the church and asks the Pontiff for a Bishop position. He gets rejected because of this golden bull. He bends over a shrine of his beloved titan, with his fellow dragonkin Mal'zorkarmorkardorkar. They sacrifice random peasants before the altar, and wonder why the Church would ever do something like this, and never let literal lizard people become involved in the affairs of humanity."

 

Writes Brandt onto a paper, drawing a funny image onto the surface before going over to burn it in a fireplace afterwards, after having entertained himself...

 

[Werew0lf 11997]

"Embrace the evil, brother."

 

"Touch the flame once more.."

 

"Kill them.."

 

The voice of the long deceased Inquisitor Eternal whispers into the ears of the An-Gho.

 

Or is it a hallucination.
