Jentos 6884 Popular Post Share Posted February 8 [!] Missives are nailed to the doors of taverns and public houses across the realms of Man. "King Carrion." Fellow citizens of the Kingdom of Haenseti-Ruska, I can but choke back as I write these lines, for it has been demonstrated, through flow of evidence, the terrible nature of the royal family presiding over our nation. King Aleksander the Second has conspired with the eternal Enemy; the damnable servants of Iblees. Not only has he made cause with them, but he has transgressed all natural, mortal, and divine law in pursuit of black magicks. I cannot believe for one instance that it was madness that overcame the king, but a weakness of faith and character that slumbered within him and surfaced the very moment an opportunity to clutch at power sprang before him, likely lured by an offer of Gashadokuro, the foul red arch-lich. The Holy Scrolls are clear; to search for the gift of sorcery is to do so in contempt of the divine. There is no more grace left within Aleksander, and neither any for him to seek. In his dealings, King Aleksander has delivered a weapon of mass destruction (WMD) to the forces of EVIL. The price for Aleksander’s greed has not merely been the satiation of his desire for power, but the empowerment of the DECEIVER. Through this act not only has he fallen to his base impulses, but he has also turned over to the IBLEESIAN forces. If only it had merely been the king! No! As I pen this, news has erupted from released documents that the queen herself has consorted with the IBLEESIAN foe, and consorted with the spawn of demons and corrupted kin. Do not fall for her pleas, for her gentle face, for her false tears - for they are a mascarade. Incapable of goodness, the queen will resort to playing the part of the confused, scared, and innocent lady that only sought to do good. I say; do not fall to deceit! The monarchs of this proud kingdom have abused their station and their soul. Let no excuse, no pretence, no attempt at victimization appeal to you, for I say, that when they shall stand at the Seven Skies, and they stand before our Creator, that no excuse shall save them before Him and His wrath. Not only shall the Heavens and its angels spurn him — no, his ancestors and his children shall spurn Aleksander and his wife too. One only has to wonder then, if the apple falls far from the tree, and wonder what twisted blood, and twisted ideas swim in the souls of King Aleksander’s children. I decry the throne, I decry the king, and I compel the Church; do your duty. If Veletz the aggressor should be punished for its sins, so must the rest. King Aleksander II may have won the war, but he has lost his soul. -Jon of Westmark 48 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crymson 481 Share Posted February 8 Hali throws the missive in the fire after reading ‘Westmark’ in the signature. “Naught but a filthy Adrian infiltration. We should not have been so merciful.” 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarkly 12618 Share Posted February 8 Villorik, Bishop of Westerwald, admits a grunt of vexation as he investigates the truth of the matter. Either these authors need to seek penance for acting upon the word of an Undead, he surmised, or they themselves are pawns of the Shadow to covert such chaos. It mattered little; all would be laid bare before the Light in time to come. He crossed three names off his list. Two more, and that truth should be determined. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbarah 5023 Share Posted February 8 The Haeseni Queen continued to pray in the Basilica that eve, knowing that GOD would bring the proper truth to light in due time; The shadows of deceit could not linger for long. No matter how the words stung, she could not - would not - falter in the face of peril. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunaZaldrizoti 5751 Share Posted February 8 Ioanna read this missive the same as she had the various others, with a motionless visage and lack of enthusiasm. It seemed suddenly this strange continent she now called home was the birthplace of many an author and poet, who leapt at the opportunity to speak on these things which were yet to be investigated and proven by the Church itself. Why do these righteous men not take to the streets, come before the Barbovic throne and dislodge the King and his consort from their seats? Why do they sit idle and mean only to put quill to paper, when such religious fervor burns within them and bids them to take action? Is the pen truly mightier than the sword? A passing patron of the city's tavern peered over her shoulder, remarking upon the signature. "Westmark? Not another damned Veleztian..." It seemed she had been given her answer. 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
