EDMUND’S REQUIEM

 

---

 

A TIME OF SHATTERED SHIELDS AND BROKEN BONES SEEMS UPON MAN,

One that Our royal nephew, Edmund, sought to avert with the conference announced in the Declaration of Bridgemas. Edmund, who was ever an optimistic man, dreamed of a world where Men resolved their differences through negotiation, where senseless violence was to be obsolete and war among Canonist brethren a thing of the past. 

 

It is for this very dream he was martyred by the deranged Frederick Aurelian and his agents, themselves aided by marauders of the League of Veletz, who, for his aforementioned dream, did stab him a multitude of times in the most cruel fashion, as well as slaughtered his councilors that were present, such as the Prince and former Regent Henry, the Sheriff of Merryweather, the Lord Haverlock, and so forth, all of whom We can do naught but consider martyrs for their sacrifice. 

 

His attackers, among whom was the Marshal of Veletz, were soon captured by the forces of Haense, Balian, and Petra, all of whom had come to Whitespire to attend Edmund’s conference. Soon after did soldiers of the League of Veletz, Celia’nor, and the Iron Horde invade Our city, whereupon they were promptly defeated by the gathered forces of the Covenant of Five.

 

These are not the only crimes of the League of Veletz, for investigations by the Auditor of the Tribunal have uncovered a deep-rooted Azdrazi conspiracy within that nation, with draconic agents wielding significant influence and using the city of Winburgh as a center for their nefarious activities. For these crimes, His Holiness has seen fit to excommunicate the leaders of that League.

 

We have just recently donated land to the Holy Mother Church for use as a Papal State and Apostolic City, and We were a priest prior to Our accession to the Paradisian Throne. We hold in high regard Our duty to Canonism and to GOD, chief among which is the protection of His people and His Church and adherence to Canon Law.

 

With all these facts in mind, and for the memory of King Edmund and the other martyrs, We hereby announce to the world Our intention to join the Covenant of Five so that we might march on the lands of the League of Veletz, to liberate Mankind and all of Aevos from their tyranny.

 

O God, who are all-knowing and all-powerful, bless our cause and guide our swords. May our hearts be steadfast, our hands steady, and our minds resolute in the righteousness of our endeavor. May Your will be done. Amen.
