WARNING OF THE OWL

WARNUNG DER EULE

WARNING OF THE OWL

Issued by the Herzog of Minitz

in the year of our Lord 1907

 

---

 

 

SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON MINITZ,

 

It has come upon the knowledge of the Herzog that a statue of an Owl has been constructed not far from the walls of Neu Brandthof, its beak facing our pious city. Innocent as it appears, it has become apparent that the statue symbolizes a demon paramount, as per the words of Ser Philip, a most pious templar.

 

The statue has been raised in honor of a self-labeled demon which itself calls ‘the Owl’. Thus is it said that many a cultist visits the statue to offer sacrifices to their false god, and even worse, that such can be used as an outpost for the forces of Iblees and its minions to spread their corruption.

 

The Herzog and his Chivalric Order of the most holy Saint Tylos do prepare for an offensive response to such diabolical events. Ye, it is our most paramount task to ensure the safety of his populace, for the Chieftain who does not protect his tribe is a disgrace.

 

Thus, the Ritter of Saint Tylos have been delegated to increase patrol along the roads in and outside the walls of Neu Brandthof, to aid any unarmed men and women, be their Reinmaren or not, against these forces.

 

Furthermore, it is the wish of the Herzog to let know all of the populace of our realm on how to prepare and act in cases of attacks from the minions of Iblees.

PRECAUTIONS

 

Depiction of Minitzers only eating bread during their Lent

 

I. THE LENT OF VENERABLE ERNST

GOTT is and shall always remain our most powerful protector, His grace is our shield, and our belief is our sword. Thus, it is through the counsel of our late Bishop Konstantin, GOTT rest his soul, that methods of Lenting as spiritual trials was researched. The Lent, upheld by the Venerable Ernst Barclay, former Count of Freimark and later hermit, was found.

Thus, the Herzog does call for all the sons and daughters of Minitz to participate in the following lent, so that our souls may be redeemed and our sins forgiven, so that the Saints may smile down on us and their favor be with us in our time of need. Thus is the Lent called forth:

 

• That products of meat not be feasted upon, be it the flesh of cow or hen, fish or shrimp, cooked or raw, none be consumed. Fish may only be consumed during the Sun’s Smile (Sundays)
• That products deriving from animals be not consumed during Snow’s Maiden and the First Seed (Wednesday and Friday). Eggs, milk, butter, or whatever it be that comes from the tamed or untamed beasts not be consumed, be it through direct eating or through inclusion in meals.
• For the most faithful sons and daughters of Minitz, let their mouths taste no food and their thirst be quenched by no drink during the Snow’s Maiden (Wednesday), so that the new year they may pass with clear stomachs and a state of abstinence.

 

May GOTT help us, and may He aid those who this Lent shall uphold

 

II. PRAYERS

Alongside their lent, let the good Canonists of our realm double their prayers, and let the most pious of them triple them. Through prayer we shall achieve deliverance, and through the grace of GOTT we can combat Iblees.

 

III. WEAPONS OF AURUM

Let it be known by all sons and daughters of Minitz that the Herzog does encourage them to hold weapons of aurum with them at all times. Such are known as efficient against the forces of Iblees and his spawns, for the pure metal does burn the corrupt flesh as the pure soul burns the corrupt air.

 

IV. VIGILANT TRAVEL

Let no sons and daughters of Minitz leave the walls of Neu Brandthof carelessly. Especially so after dusk until dawn, when the sun goes down and dark settles the lands. Let none in their right mind travel during such time.

 

And, those who the roads must cross, let them avoid the statue of the owl, and with a companion let them travel. Let the pious walk with prayers in their minds and Lorraines of aurum with them, so that GOTT may protect both their soul and flesh.

 

V. INQUIRE AND INFORM

The sons and daughter of Minitz who more wish to know on how to protect themselves and their families, or how to combat the evils that surround us, the clergy shall await their questions, and, if through arms they wish to assist, let them present themselves in front of the Herzog or his Ritters.

GOTT MIT UNS,

 

His Grace, Leon Brandt Barclay Herzog von Minitz KRE, GMSTSR 

Duke of Minitz, Count of Neu Brandthof, Viscount of Tucay, Baron of Boriënwald and Brandthof, Lord of Durres, Harvest Lord, Protector of the Aaunic Heartlands, High Chieftain of the Reinmaren

 

[Werew0lf 12005]

A throng of marching death begins their slow patrols around the roads of the monument, to be oddly sighted by the soldiers of the area, lurking in the crevices of each shadow. Their bones rattle, whilst some crawl through the floor as miasma, others walk on skeletal foot. 
 

 

[femurlord 2317]

Click, click, clack, click. An ensemble rumbled within the crevices unseen of Minitz, whether in tucked corners or vacant alley-ways a chorus of pitter-patters rung throughout, . A macabre entourage of bone, reanimated from heel to head they sought to mindlessly leer from the murk to any passerby, watchful as a dual-tone rumbled from the earth; the slumbering dead quietly spake. "We gather, we gather! The time nears!"

[TreeSmoothie 4862]

A pious Prophet was finally finished spreading the prophecy of DÚR-FÁN-AGURTH; their mission accomplished. That figure sat themselves before an altar, uttering some Arcane word to the candle they held and then left there, its flame dwindling. 

 

"The Lich-Dragon's incursion is nigh!"

[Me_llamo... 495]

Shook his head worried for the people of Minitz "I hope the walls are strong enough, and that Brandt didnt lie that time" chuckles "As always, friends and family must survive"
