BY THE UNWAVERING AUTHORITY OF THE STATE AND THE REPUBLICAN MANDATE BESTOWED UPON THE ILLUSTRIOUS CHAMBER OF HEIDMEN, WE HEREBY ISSUE THIS IMPERIOUS MISSIVE, RESONATING WITH THE EMINENT VIRTUES OF HONOR, DUTY, LIBERTY, FRATERNITY, VALOR, AND WISDOM. WITH THIS COMMUNICATION, WE ENLIGHTEN THY READER UPON THE INTRICACIES OF STATECRAFT AND UNVEIL THE CURRENT AFFAIRS THAT ENGAGE OUR SOVEREIGN REALM.

LO unto the Heartlands,

 

From high Winburgh, our hearts have been filled with disappointment; time after time, the Canonist League has shunned the mere existence of Veletz, undermining Her voice and breaching the pact with deliberate attempts to omit any semblance of argument from the League of Veletz, when matters of Her dominion are spoken of in flagrant transgressions. Despite the attempts to bury the hatchet with the Kingdoms of Haense and Balian over the matters of the secular wars in the past— they openly choose to leave it unburied, feigning innocence and returning fruitless smiles. The belligerent nations continue to utilize the Canonist League to attempt to subvert Veletz.

 

With the provision of transgressions in mind, the League of Veletz will not bend a knee to the viper who hisses a song and dances to the lute of another. The mouth of Canondom dances with the grace of a Haenser puppeteer and, with it, all of the nation’s interests. There is no utterance of faith in GOD and the growth of the Church to save the souls of the agnostic and the Pagan. Thus, it can be plainly stated that our trust in the unaccountable Pontiff and the integrity of the Canonist League is all but gone.

 

Let it be known that We entertain it no longer; from this day onward, our state declares that the Canonist League is null and void— or what remains of the propositioned idea, which is no more than a cannibalized husk used to hide certain nations from accountability and scrutinize the sovereignty of others.

 

One way or another, the world will be reminded of the strength of MAN.

Sir Hannibal puffs from his pipe.

Luther von Draco sits in his room, reading over the entirety of the missive with an occasional slow nod.

Hendrik van Aert smiles the Sun's smile.

In meek reverence, Mother Oksana humbly knelt before the altar within the Cathedral of Winburgh. "Saint Arpad, pray for us, for the lives of the Canon's flock. In our unrest, grant us the grace to forgive one another."

[Drew2_dude 2636]

Otto Gant would call out to his son from the Valwyck Outhouse. "Lad, do ye know what the shitter and Veletz 'ave in common? They're both rancid and filled to their innards with shite." He proceeded to laugh till he was red in the face before finishing up his business and heading back to bed.

The Silver Lubba raised a brow to the missive on his desk, simply commenting "Almost as if the politics of nations are becoming involved in faith- again and again"

Renilde gasps, and moves to discuss this development with her council immediately.

Bishop Odo is racist and sad

Lucas Olivier de Reyne looked up to those planting the tobacco fields of Reyne with a smile, and so he continued his work oncemore within the fields of outer Veletz.

Fyodor, the last of line, shines his shoes.

"Wasn't there a whole argument about the bandit Mareno's residing in Veletz, to which they denied, and yet they included their signature in this very missive." remarked Andrik var Ruthern

"Wasn't there a whole argument about the bandit Mareno's residing in Veletz, to which they denied, and yet they included their signature in this very missive." remarked Andrik var Ruthern

"As far as ea recall, the argument was that nie bandit could reside in the Mareno's home, for the Marenos were absent from all matters of realm in Veletz. Perhaps time has worn mea memory. Et was niet about what was factual in the end, regardless. Only about posturing, and damaging negotiations with poor faith and insults. There es little point to picking at nonsense."

Viktor var Ruthern gave a slight dismissive wave after he spoke aside to his kin, and occupied himself with other matters. It seemed he suggested Andrik do the same.

[AstriaS 4988]

Tar-Caraneth stood overlooking the headwaters of the River Foroduin from the precipitous east face of fair Númenost. With an unsurprised air about her, she turned to one of the attendants around her. "I cannot, at all, claim to be shocked – this sort of outcome is precisely the reason my father never signed with that alliance. It was never going to last. How it plays out from here, it is in the Lord's hands." With that, she spoke no further on the topic, the politicking of the recent days having darkened her mood enough for one evening.
