Nolan_ 4221 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2023 PONTIFICAL LETTER OF THE HIGH PONTIFF XYSTUS QUINTUS SATUS AD ITER LAETUM A JOYOUS START TO THE PATH HIS HOLINESS SIXTUS V, 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. "I am the Lord God without peer, and My Word is the holy word, and My path is the virtuous path, and all the blessings of the Virtue shall fall before the righteous who tread it." (Virtue 1:9) Most Beloved Brethren, Health and Pontifical Benediction. We write this letter to relay Our journey thus far since beginning on Our goal of serving every one of the faithful across all of Canondom in a manner befitting God’s vicar. We began our yearly visits within the Archdiocese of Artorus, spending the majority of Our time within the Capital of the Kingdom of Númendil, Númenost, colloquially known as the White City. We were privileged to speak with many of the populace and host Mass on the topic of Saint Edmond of Lachsin and his patronage, knights and hospitality - which We find representative of Our time amongst the devout people of Númendil for the honour and hospitality they showed Us. We were pleased to be able to relate the story of the reverent Saint to the lives of those living there and the positive response and insightful questions that We received, aside from the one relating to the use of crossbows that confused Us, were very affirming that We are on the right course of action and We thank and pray to the Almighty that Our continued journey proves as fruitful as its start. We encourage those who were present to remember the lessons and indeed who else may be reading this to do the same. Remember to live one's life on the virtuous path even when your peers may pressure you otherwise for that is when true piety is exemplified, it is proven when it is tested and you remain resolute in maintaining the path to the Skies. The knights of the realms can often become lost, the training and fighting taking its toll and diverting the mind but it is then that it is most important to remember to live and commit your life to the protection of the innocent, honour and display God given hospitality to those who need it. Let us not forget that it is of paramount importance to not only adhere to God’s teachings but also to guide and epitomise it to others who might also be brought onto the correct and true path. We had many pleasant and fruitful conversations with many there, including with the King, or Tar, himself that aided Us very much in understanding how we might approach the matter of magic and Templars within Our Pontifical Commission as well as understanding his humble origins and his piety in forging his faithful realm. We thank the King for his time and patience with Us. Among others We also took great delight in the petition for a blessing from Siegemaster Bedwyr who We were happy to have seen knighted soon after in Our visit. He gifted Us a key meant to be bestowed only to those entrusted with the defence of the great city; a poignant reminder of Our duty to the Canonist people. It is a gift We carry with Us and intend to leave to Our successors so they too might remember the righteous duty We have the God given and anointed pleasure of conducting. We must thank the people within the Archdiocese of Artorus for their kindness, openness and generosity they exhibited to Us on Our stay and will eternally be glad to return and hear from them whenever. We are currently on Our yearly stay within the next Archdiocese on Our itinerary, Albarosa, and expect very much the same God being willing. ☩DEO NON FORTUNA☩ BY GOD NOT LUCK Spoiler Got to hand it to the guys in Numendil, I had great fun both in roleplay and in the vc. Everyone was very friendly and genuinely wanted to know more about things they either weren't 100% on church wise or completely new things like the backstory of Saint Edmond. @MalchediaelVultwas a huge help and the rp was great and I'm glad I picked Artorus to start off with - love what you're all doing with the place and Adunians, something fresh so keep on going with it. 35 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laeonathan 4081 Share Posted July 19, 2023 "Ahhh, a shame- his Holiness is gone." A young squire, Eredain Glennmaer noted as he read the letter, "The most Númendil-friendly pontiff there's ever been." He stated matter-of-factly. Not like there was any other during the time of Númendils existance... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
