seannie 6856 Popular Post Share Posted March 7 CAUSE AND REASON for AEVOSIAN UNIFICATION by TIBERof NEW PARADISUS PRINTED BY THE IMPERIAL SOCIETY OF THE EXALTED HOREN An artistic depiction of a Middelander imagining the world without them. With Aevos returned to peace following the conclusion of the Coalition War, the sovereigns of the new world order now gather to best steer our shared destiny forward, one free of unnecessary bloodshed and wanton chaos - as stipulated already by the Winburgh Proclamation, Section VII, the Future of Man, wherein the Grand Covenant of the Exalted Horen's descendants have been convening to discuss such a new pivotal chapter in the Tapestry of Man. So far consisting of the realms of Petra, Haense, Aaun, Hyspia, Balian, and perhaps the emergent Principality of Reinmar. Despite such an impressive array of nations, not one of them have come to terms with what to make of this hard-earned peace - each vying for their own ambitions. So ravenous was the war, that all stately dedications were in the pursuit of winning the present conflict, and not what was to come after such victories, leaving these realms wondering, and more dangerously, suspicious what the others may perpetrate. There is an unfortunate possibility that the aforementioned realms may simply default to the easiest and simplest outcome, that being the maintenance of the status quo, unwilling to respectfully partake in the greatest debate of these recent generations - tragically establishing the parameters for the next Great War in the future. It must be wholeheartedly asked then, with full dedication now; what should become of Humanity? Of Aevos as an extension? Many options lie before us, from which I shall presumptuously list some possibilities, limited to three in this article for the sake of brevity, and ideally, the further addition of my peers including alternatives in their own papers. The Aevosian Union Considered the most radical by my fellows of the Imperial Society, the Aevosian Union shall see the formal elevation of the Grand Covenant into that of a supranational governing body hosting all its constituencies within it for the sake of unifying international affairs. With a new capital for governance, and an elected head of state, the Union shall lay the framework for cooperation never seen before by the Descendants, one wholly untethered by dynastic egoism, and instead led by the dogged bureaucracy of all member states - much to the dismay of the fiery advocates of absolutism, who may just spontaneously drop dead at such a suggestion; the arrogance of the Age of Heroes is long gone now, and great realms run on paper. Now before us, lies a Union in which the existence of its member states are forever guaranteed and supported, taking upon itself the ethos of the Harvest Confederacy in its freedom, whilst sharing the concept of an executive leader tasked with the interoperability of the Union, ideally merging the. With each Aevosian citizen having the freedom of travel throughout Aevos, unbarred by gate searches and so called 'citizenship doors', a free market of material goods such as Netherite, Coal and Iron, enshrined common defense, and an overarching legal code to ensure the goodwill of all. The Empire of Oren Certainly the most controversial of the listed possibilities. The Empire has been formed a number of eight times, and with some reformations to its structure, may be reformed for a ninth time. Oren, afterall, is the aspiration of all Humanity as dictated by the first Holy Orenian Emperor, the Exalted Godfrey, who established the imperial framework for Humanity to unify under ever since. However, despite the nigh century that has passed since its latest collapse, many still think of Oren as a failed project exclusive to the Novellen lineage, with all the good and the bad associated with such a family - its connotations many, and its misdoings fatal. It must be reminded, for the sake of all the history to its name, Oren, meaning Humanity in its Flexian origins, the language of the Aenguls, remains still a divine mandate of the Church of the Canon to manifest, the end goal of all Canondom, even so why reform it? An Empire created eight times already is not a model that inspires stability, though it can be said that the idea of Oren transcends the notion of being just a mere title. It is for certain that a new Oren, should it come to be, would be unlike any other, one potentially devoid of dynastic rule, and instead incorporating an electoral college of the current realms of Aevos to elect a new Imperial Monarch, or perhaps it may be as ineffective as the Sixth Empire was, plagued by useless Emperors and fatal infighting. Furthermore, it is to be wholeheartedly rejected that this concept be renamed slightly akin to that of the Renatian Empire of ‘Man’ or more horrifyingly, be simply reduced to ‘Imperium’ as it has been suggested lately. If the mere mention of the name Oren is enough to render shock, it is advised that these affected peoples seek therapy. The Grand Covenant In which the Grand Covenant shall remain as a loose organization of military treaties between its constituencies, tying each other in an interwoven, yet easily broken web of continental alliances - seen already jolted by the premature withdrawal of the Kingdoms of Numendil and Norland from the war. This remains the most low effort, and easy to maintain option, for it shall only need the maintenance of the current course to maintain this status quo. However, as mentioned, it is the option most prone to failure; for any savvy deviant of Ibleesian influence can render it asunder through wily politicking, and thus propagate the next continental war for their own selfish desires. Despite such a threat, this is still considered to be the most desired outcome by our leaders, for the difficulties of seeking out the greater good are much too arduous when one could simply cloister themselves away in their own pocket realms. Each of these proposals are rife with their own flaws that must be settled by the cooperation of the whole, for it is our most sacred duty to see peace successfully maintained throughout Aevos, to aid each other when ill-fate befalls one, to share the great burden of existence, and ultimately cast off the tendrils of Iblees and slay the Deceiver once and for all. Nothing from here on out will be done without tremendous dedication and fortitude, and we must brace ourselves for the tribulations to come. In conclusion, it is not the desire of the author to rouse issues of paranoia as to what to shape the new world into, but rather open the path forward to worthwhile debate as to best proceed. It must be realized by all that the establishment of the New World Order does not have to be the sole burden of our Princes, and that we all have a part in the making of the Tapestry of Man, no matter petty or grand. From this article, may your imagination be spun. 48 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlauRps 154 Share Posted March 7 The Reinmarien Landser, Hildibrand Brawn, looked at the article before taking a LONG sip of his coffee before casting the papers into the fire of his furnace. ”Ich d’ not know why ‘he young folk wan’ t’ bring back the failin’ idea o’ Oren or create ‘his ‘Aevosian Union’ thin’ un’ ‘ave royals givin’ up der autonomy un’ in’viduality.” He spoke to himself “We Reinmarien worked too hard on gettin’ our independence jus’ t’ read ‘bout someone spoutin’ this Oren sympathizer propaganda.” He added, sighing the old Highlander leaned back in his chair “Reinmar ‘s not even in ‘he Grand Covenant.. unless mein memory’s failin’ me now.” 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergisala 2794 Share Posted March 7 The liberal scholar Marc Galbraith delivered the following remarks upon reading the missive issued by the Imperial Society of Exalted Horen: "To me and many others, it is undeniable that the scattering of humanity that followed the dissolution of the Eight Empire has divided the sons of Horen and caused their petty tribal rivalries to appear, causing unnecessary bloodshed since the formation of the Harvest Confederacy. From all the projects that my colleague Tiber of New Paradisus has described, in order to achieve a more perfect union among the realms of men, I personally can only see viable two of them: 1) A Federation or Union (a Federal State), which may be called the "United States of Orenia" or alternatively the "Imperial Union" or simply the "Union", or any other preferred name without necessarily having to contain the terms "Oren" or "Orenian" in the same, led by a republican elected head of state who may rule over humanity as the guardian of the vacant Throne of Man, bearing the title of "President" or "Lord Protector of the Holy Orenian Empire" (or another rank of equivalent importance) and "Acting Defender of the Faith", with a Federal Congress holding the ultimate authority of the Federation or Union. The President of the Imperial Union (or whatever other name the Federation or Union ends up being called) should be regularly elected by popular vote in free and fair presidential elections, and should be able to appoint the members of his Cabinet, who would serve as the officials of the Federal government, in accordance with the federal Constitution and the federal laws of the land. 2) The Holy Orenian Empire, the Ninth Empire, with an Emperor chosen by all the Canonist princes and the blessing of the High Pontiff to rule over humanity as the Holy Orenian Emperor and Defender of the Faith, and a new Imperial Capital and Crownlands with a central military and government, with an elected Imperial Diet, Senate or Congress holding the ultimate authority of the Empire. In both of these options, the Imperial, federal or central government must abide by the decisions adopted by the elected members of the Imperial or Federal Diet, Senate or Congress, and sanctioned with the assent granted by the President, Lord Protector or Holy Orenian Emperor. In any of these options, a Federal or Imperial Constitution should be enacted by a Continental Congress formed of elected representatives from all the human States (nations), in which it would be established that each State would be able to keep their own state laws and state institutions, while coexisting with imperial or federal laws and institutions. At the same time, the Constitution should establish the RIGHTS OF MAN of the Nenzing Proclamation as constitutional rights of the Union or Empire. The Constitution should establish what policies or matters can solely be decided by the Union, Federation, or Empire, and what others can solely be decided by the States. The laws of the Empire or the Union must solely be decided by the representatives of the people that comprise it, as officials elected in free and regular elections held in their provincial or state circumscriptions, and, may the President, Lord Protector or Holy Orenian Emperor grant their imperial or federal assent to an Act of the Diet or the Congress, the Imperial or Federal government should be obliged to enforce it. In addition, the new Federation, Union or Holy Orenian Empire, must abide by the dogmas and principles of the Holy Mother Church, for the Holy Orenian Emperor is the temporal complement of the High Pontiff, with the Emperor ruling supreme over the mortal plane and the Pontiff ruling supreme over the spiritual plane. And last, but not the least, I would like to highlight the fact that, in my humble opinion, the restoration of the Holy Orenian Empire must be the Holy Mother Church's goal, for the Holy Scrolls of the Canon contain several verses about the importance of human unity that I wish to remember: Thus mankind was united in virtue, in the highlands and the heartlands, and in the farthest homes of the sons of Horen. And Godfrey pronounced the word of God into the hearts of men, proclaiming unto them “We are born from the ashes of the old kingdom of Oren. We are the heirs to Horen and have continued him by this empire.” And Godfrey set aside the Throne of Man for a holy purpose, consecrating it to GOD. Thus it was sworn that no Son of Malin, of Urguan, of Krug, or any magi shall hold it. - Gospel 6:33-36 Furthermore, we find many other references about this topic in the Canon and, specifically, in the Book of Sealing, when the Exalted Godfrey, in a direct dialogue with GOD, prophesied the arrival of Exalted Sigismund, who later on would form the Second Empire: You will know him, for with peace he gathers the sons of Horen, where the sword has divided them. - Gospel 7:53 Sincerely, Marc Galbraith Imperial Historian" 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliusAakerlund 1780 Share Posted March 7 If your wishes are thus to thrust onto us the devices of an Empire, then you must abandon the name of Oren. When the day comes that humanity is united may it not reignite the claimants of old, instead, may it stand a new legacy. I will speak not at length on this subject as any scholar should understand my meaning. Should this be the Empire of Oren or Pax Orenia, then it will fall as soon as it attracts the flies once guided to such a name. Those of you who hold onto the name Oren as if your life depends on it, know this, you will be the reason for the tapestry of man's continued divide. Lamented Erik Edvard Colborn as he felt as though he was seeing a reoccuring headache appear once again. 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not the name that matters, but the character of its people.” said Garen 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
