Balthasar 2070 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2023 PEACE AND BLESSINGS THE EIGHTEENTH GOLDEN BULL OF JORENUS 8th of Tobias' Bounty, 1907 - 6th of Grona and Droba 460 E.S. HIS HOLINESS PONTIAN IV, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Archbishop of Visigia, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, Missionary to Aeldin, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD does decree… TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION I - ON THE ATRUS COVENANT SECTION II - ON THE AZDRAZI SECTION III - BEATIFICATIONS SECTION IV - VENERATIONS 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 AZDRAZIAll 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. SECTION IV - VENERATIONS It is through Our Apostolic Authority that We affirm the following venerations… VENERABLE BORYS JAZLOVIECKI Made venerable for standing steadfast against the Michaelite schism in Savoy, one of the few vassals to do so; fearing not for his life, but how the faithful of Savoy were being led astray. VENERABLE ULRICH VON ALSTREIM Made venerable for standing steadfast against the Michaelite schism in Savoy, one of the few vassals to do so; fearing not for his life, but how the faithful of Savoy were being led astray.

tadabug2000 3501 Share Posted January 14, 2023 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. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

seannie 6851 Share Posted January 14, 2023 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. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islamadon 4428 Share Posted January 14, 2023 "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. 12 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadOne 3381 Share Posted January 14, 2023 "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... 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werew0lf 12019 Share Posted January 14, 2023 "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. @Jentos 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
