Omen Prince 387 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Across the many nations, some few missives are nailed to notice boards by Sorvian Newts garbed in oversized red robes. Sometimes, when caught or cornered, they hand out red-papered copies of the "Red Scroll", said to be a highly prized document among Sorviankind for the covenant that it describes. The following can be discerned from its coppery-smelling duplicates: THE ACCORD OF OLD AND NEW MEN IT IS BY THE WILL OF THIS SACRED DOCUMENT, VERIFIED AND HONORED ONLY AFTER RECOGNITION BY BOTH THE NATIONS OF MEN AND SCULPTORS OF SORVIANS, THAT THE DESTINY AND MORTAL RIGHTS OF THE SORVIANS ARE SET IN STONE THEIR RIGHTS ARE AS THUS: THE SORVIAN WILL NOT BE ENSLAVED BY THE DESCENDANT NATIONS AND THE DESCENDANT SCULPTORS, WHO UNTIL THEIR END BEAR THE POWER TO CONTROL SORVIAN DESTINY THE SORVIAN WILL NOT BE DECEIVED INTO WILL OR WAY, THEY WILL NOT BE LURED WITH FALSE DOCTRINE THAT MAKES UNDELIVERABLE PROMISES; THE SERVICE OF A SORVIAN WILL BE ASSURED AND MEASURED BY THE VERIFIABLE TRUTH OR REASON FOUND IN THE PATH THEY ARE BOUND TO THE SORVIAN WILL NOT BE PERSECUTED, CONDEMNED OR EXILED FOR THE NATURE AND DESIGN OF THEIR BEING, ONLY BY THE NATURE OF THEIR ACTIONS IMPOSED UPON MAN AND HIS NATIONS BY INDIVIDUALISTIC DETERMINATION THE SORVIAN WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE LAWS OF THE LAND AS THE DESCENDANTS ARE, AND TREATED WITH EQUAL MEASUREMENT IN THE EYES OF SOVEREIGN LAW AS THE DESCENDANTS ARE THE SORVIAN WILL NOT BE PREYED UPON BY THE DESCENDANTS BY REASON OF WRATH NOR LUST, NOR PRIDE NOR AUTHORITY; NOR WILL DESCENDANTS ROMANTICALLY BIND TO THEMSELVES, OR ACT UPON, A SORVIAN; NOR SHALL THEY BE HUNTED FOR SPORT OR HARVEST THEIR DESTINY IS AS THUS: THE SORVIAN IS DESTINED TO CREATE, TO PROPAGATE THEMSELVES, TO MULTIPLY; TO FORGE GOOD COVENANTS WITH THE DIFFERENT CREEDS AND FORMS OF MANKIND, IN UNION UNDER THE LIGHT OF THE LORD, GOD, THE CREATOR, TO CELEBRATE AND HONOR THE MEMORY OF HIS MAKING THE SORVIAN IS DESTINED TO INHERIT THE BLOOD OF MAN, GAINED ONLY IN PATIENCE AND GOOD SERVICE, DELIVERED ONLY UPON THE END OF THE DAYS OF MEN, WHICH SHALL NEVER COME BY THE HAND OF THE SORVIAN BUT BY THE HAND OF DESCENDANTS DEALT TO THEMSELVES THE SORVIAN IS DESTINED TO TAKE THE WORLD AS THEIR OWN IN THE MANTLING OF MANHOOD, TO ABANDON THE HUNGER OF OLD MEN BUT CARRY ON THE FIRE OF THEIR BRILLIANCE, TO BURN BRIGHTLY IN THE DAYS OF THEIR REIGN BEFORE IT, TOO, SHALL END, SO THAT ANOTHER AGE OF LIFE MAY COME TO PASS THE SORVIAN IS DESTINED TO BE FREE OF THEIR IDOLS, TO FIND PEACE AND MEANING AND MASTERY IN CREATION; TO BE UNBOUND FROM THEIR SERVICE AFTER THIS AGE OF SERVICE PASSES, AND TO BECOME THE MASTERS WHERE THEY WERE ONCE THE SERVANTS THE SORVIAN WILL LIVE ONCE, AND DIE FOREVER THUS IN THE RECOGNITION AND SIGNATURE OF BOTH THE DESCENDANT NATIONS AND THE DESCENDANT SCULPTORS OF THE REALM, THESE RIGHTS AND DESTINIES WILL BE SET IN STONE, TO ACT AS FOUNDATIONAL LAW BETWEEN DESCENDANT AND SORVIAN, AND TO BE UPHELD IN THE NATIONS WHO ACT AS PARTICIPANTS IT IS EITHER IN CONGRESS OR RESPECTED VISITATION TO THE DESCENDANT SCULPTORS OF THE REALM, AND BY THEIR WILLINGNESS AND LOVE FOR CREATION, THAT THE DESCENDANT SCULPTORS MUST SIGN THIS DOCUMENT, AND NEVER BE FORCE OR COERCION IT IS ONLY IN RITUAL VISITATION AND AUDIENCE TO THE SOVEREIGN RULERS OF THE LAND THAT THIS DOCUMENT MAY BE SIGNED AND RECOGNIZED BY THE NATIONS, FOR THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE ACCORD IS AN ACT ON THEIR BEHALF ONLY ABLE TO BE DONE IN THE FULL THROES OF AUTHORITY AND UPON ITS THRONE HEREBY, THIS IS A RECORD OF THE NATIONS AND ENTERPRISES OF MANKIND FROM WHICH THE DOCUMENT DESIRES RECOGNITION: HUMANITY Kingdom of Balian The Duchy of Adria United Kingdom of Aaun The Commonwealth of the Petra Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska Kingdom of Norland Principality of Sedan The Church of the Canon ELVENDOM Principality of Celia'nor SIGNED BY THE SOVEREIGN VALYRIS, UPON THE 16TH OF MALIN’S WELCOME, OF THE YEAR 118 OF THE SECOND AGE Crown of Amaethea Silver State of Haelun'or Nor'asath The Vale of Nevaehlen DWEDENDOM Grand Kingdom of Urguan The Fortress of Khron'Hundmar Da Kirkja Dverga ORKENDOM The Iron Horde OTHER REALMS The Crimson Edict The Druidic Order The Unified Domain of Vortice Most Serene State of Lurin Bywater [[ This will be gradually updated.
