As we are bound by the sacred threads of faith and virtue of the Scrolls, through the Exalted, Pour forth the emanation of glory upon us, instilling within our hearts the flame of initiative, that we may boldly step into the challenges that lay before us. Grant us the wisdom to discern Your will from the will of the mundane, and embolden our hearts with the strength to carry the virtuous path with unwavering determination. Bless the Kings, Princes and Bishops of this world, that they may be inspired by Your divine example to cultivate for the greater good of humanity. 

 

Amen.

SECTION VI - ON THE LICH GASHADOKURO

 

 

Hearken! Of all the shapes of evildoers, from the sons of Iblees to the putrid ghouls and perfidious warlocks that plague and assail our lands, you have hidden treacherously from our sights for long enough, rejoicing in your empty, so-called victories. In truth, you are no more than the craven dogs that bandit the weak but run at the sight of the strong, too fearful to confront the armies of Canondom in rank and file. 

 

Let it be known that you shall hide no longer. The Church of the Canon sees you for what you are, and you, in your hideout shall know the wrath of the LORD’s legions. Defile Churches and Temples all you want, like the rat you are under the shadow of the Moon. Behold! by the time you have returned, it shall come to pass that your defacement will vanish by the hour. 

 

The time for your aggression has come to pass, and you shall not gauge timidity from us any longer. When you crawl out of your hole to assail the Kingdoms, know that I will strike your kin and you twice fold. The Armies of Canondom will uproot the foundations of your holdfast. The Inquisitors will salt your fields. 

 

I, as the High Pontiff of the Church of Canon now declare an unrelenting WAR onto these wretched shadowspawn!

 

In this very hour, I compel all faithful to take up the sword and the shield in defense of humanity, to leave your walls, and seek out the darkspawn across the world that justice may be done unto them. Cast asunder the devils and the necromancers with your blade! It is the Lord’s will. Let the crimson banners of the Church be unfurled; It is time to attack.

 

Hearken! The foul specter of the Lich looms over the realm of Sakuragakure, spreading its dark pestilence in those lands! It is the time to form a relentless unity against the shadow and all its abomination. So, it is by my will that the Holy Mother Church extends its full support for the warriors of the Ashen State who dare to confront the undead terror. To the warriors of Sakuragakure, I bid you to stand resolute in the face of this unholy foe. 

 

And so too I bid the pious faithful of Canondom this; extend onto Nor’Velyth your support through munitions, armaments and silver. Just as you will the Light to triumph over Shadow, so must you do your part to invoke it! We sponsor and bid Canondom to aid the Ashen State in any way that may come. Let your generosity flow like a river, for every contribution shall be a blade in the hands of those who face the Lich Gashadokuro.

SECTION VII - ON THE TRIBUNAL OF THE WHITE COMET & ALEKSANDR II

 

Having donned the vestments and episcopal crown of the Supreme Pontiff, I find myself heir to the present tribulations and afflictions that have besieged the ecclesiastical body, as well as my forerunners and companions. In the beginnings of my pontificate, it thus has now become imperative to stabilize the hearts of my congregation, steering them towards concord and collaboration with the revered precincts of the Holy Scrolls.

 

In recent days, whispers of nefarious influences within the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska have reached the ears of the Holy See. Allegations suggest the clandestine infiltration of darkspawn into the very heart of Haense. Through action by myself and my ecclesiastical brethren, foremost among them being the good Cardinal Villorik, various influences within and without the Church have brought forth the establishment of a full and sustained agency for the priesthood in providing remedy for this crisis. 

 

In response, my predecessor Sixtus VI and the seculars of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska have entrusted the esteemed Cardinal Villorik of Westerwald to lead an investigation, rooting out the malevolent forces that seek to sow discord within our sacred realms, leading to the creation of the Tribunal of the White Comet.

 

As of the current date, two vigorous investigations have been produced by the Tribunal, exonerating many virtuous Canonists living within the borders of Hanseti-Ruska, so that they may not be harassed or their natural rights infringed upon by vigilantism and purported agents of the light. Informed of the dedication of the White Comet in rooting out evil from within the Kingdom, and the gravity with which they approach this matter, I now choose to commend and endorse the investigations of this Tribunal that have been accomplished thus far.

 

Yet, some men among our realms have criticized the procession by mentioning a conflict of interest, that a man of Jorenus might procure an investigation into himself. As a result, I have taken it personally during my status as Cardinal to curate my own investigations onto the topic. Through independent methodology and research from Jorenus, I have succeeded in procuring a cross-examination to provide remedy to these concerns.

 

Informed by my own investigations and that of the White Comet, I hereby decree thus;

 

That ALL charges of apostasy and betrayal from the Church that hangs above the head of King Aleksandr and his household be lifted, effective immediately, on account following rationale;

 

I. Witness Testimonies; Having spoken with witnesses, both loyal and independent from the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, I have deliberated that their testimonies unanimously agree that the occurrences that have befallen the Kingdom point towards a prideful King, who was ensnared in a nefarious plot to damage his good name. That this folly was not a product of malice, but naivety.

 

II. Unreliable and distrustful accounts; The accounts of which I have witnessed stipulate the malice of King Aleksandr are sourced from the likes of the Lich and other agents of the Shadow; being that their interests lie not in harmony and setting right mistakes, but instead to sow chaos and discord into humanity, which is proven to have worked, after examining the haphazard rebellion thrown in the Midlands during a post-war atmosphere.

 

III. Examination of the trade; The purported deal which supposedly condemns Aleksandr as a collaborator concerns a planar script and an infernal sword. After examination of the script itself, and Aleksandr’s drive to retrieve such an item, I have reasonably concluded that this deal must have not been one of willing servitude, but of a genuine ambition and curiosity for the movement of the stars. Aleksandr himself has provided an account of the artifact that he had retrieved, and after cross-referencing with Masters on this topic, I am led to believe that his absence for the year matches with the story provided by both witnesses and Aleksandr’s own testimony.

 

Despite the King’s innocence, I am led to believe that this naivete and catastrophe had been borne out of his pride, and that it must be satisfied going forward, so no new crises must emerge from that sin of the spirit. In the spirit of rectifying this issue, I bid Aleksandr to perform a regular yearly confession with Bishop Villorik, followed by a fast consisting of bread and water for a period of THREE years.

SECTION VIII - THE APOSTOLIC SYNOD

 

 

In this bull, I seek to elucidate my forthcoming policy upon this Synod, that the faithful may possess a comprehension of the path that the Church of body shall tread, that my flock may know with utmost transparency the unfolding future as a consequence of the Synod.

 

As we have all bore witness, the Canonist Princes, who serve amidst us as stewards of the earthly domain, have dispatched unto the Church a missive, wherein they advocate for a reformation in the sacrament of matrimony. Let it be known that we, brethren of the Church, do not admonish them for their endeavours to put forward differing interpretations that deviate from traditional Orthodoxy. Nay, I lend my support to such explorations of  the theological terrain, that we may reach truths that we have not otherwise reached yet. 

 

However, as highlighted of this bull, my spirit bears a certain disappointment for my fellow men, that the missive arrived as a demand of our Church in change, rather than a respectful entreaty for the Church to ponder these matters with due diligence.

 

Verily, the purpose of our Holy Mother Church is to guide men through moral questions, and that it is through her sacred authority that direction and verdicts on moral issues are to be provided by the spirit of Evaristus and Clement, who were chosen to bear that Laurel. The Canonist princes, therefore, should not proffer demands and missives for change, but rather follow the example of Father Davide in presenting their insights, that our Clergy may engage in earnest discourse in examination of the traditions flowing from the Apostolic Succession and Holy Fathers, alongside scripture. Only then may we thus arrive at conclusions reflective of our present age.

 

To adhere to this sacred duty, I proclaim that the Synod addressing matters of Homophilic matrimony has unfolded as ordained.

 

Permit me thusly, to clarify the tenets of my policy for the Synod, that every ordained minister, who has not forsaken their sacred duty have participated and provided their opinions in a timely manner, that a reasoned deliberation had ensued during the procession. 

 

In the pursuit of this, I have not swayed the scales in favour of any faction but instead have served as a figure of accountability, moderating the discourse so that it does not stray into chaos. Subsequently, a vote was cast, and the outcome pronounced was IN FAVOR of keeping the current tenets on matrimony as the Orthodoxy of the Church instead of altering matrimony in accordance with the calls for reform.

 

Thus, BE IT DECLARED by the Holy Mother Church; The standing tradition on permissible matrimony being only between Man and Woman shall remain UNCHANGED.

 

Yet, be not deceived, for I, in my station of the Pontifex, am no tyrant. You may alter the contents of your law codexes, O Princes of mine; that civil and legal avenues may be pursued through your kingly hands, allowing for coexistence among inclined brethren irrespective of the Synod's outcome. 

 

I remind you that up to this age, the Church, in her wisdom, has not yet persecuted nor expelled those of this kind from righteous Canonist Principalities, that they neither have seen the sword nor the pitchfork. Our faith is one of understanding and compassion, embracing all—from beggar to king. Likewise, in matters of sanctioned unions, let it be understood that the verdict on marriage itself post-Synod, must be heeded by the Canonist princes, and the sacred rite of matrimony adhered to as decreed by the Church.

SECTION IX - THE DUMAPALOOZA

 

 

As the war has drawn to a close, and peace has settled, it is now time for the Canonist Princes to uphold the Treaty of Winburgh and facilitate the election of a new Duke for the Adrian people. Falling now under the jurisdiction of our Church, it has become my responsibility to mediate the process and seek closure to the political situation in the midlands.

 

Under the Mother Church’s supervision, a list of electors shall be determined in accordance with fairness to both the Coalition and the Adrian Diaspora, for the Dumapalooza to be held soon thereafter. I shan’t meddle in the affairs of the Adrians, and the vote shall be kept a just process only under my oversight, and the outcome, whatever it may be, is to be respected. 

 

---

 

SECTION X - ON THE ORDER OF SAINT JUDE

 

 

The Order of Saint Jude, ever since its inception at the hands of Grandmaster Halston Veyont under the Pontificate of Sixtus V, has proven revolutionary in its streamlined darkspawn investigations and enforcement of canon law. Though their successful operations fail to overshadow their heavy handed nature, overlooking national laws and trampling over local authorities, making many a canonist prince anxious of their presence.

 

The time for reform has come. Have these words as reassurance to both our princes of Canondom, who care to maintain the wellbeing of their citizenry, and the Ordermen of Saint Jude, who fear being rendered useless or eternally gagged and unable to act. Compromise can, and shall, be reached. 

 

After deliberation with the Commandant of the Pontifical Guard, Cardinal Villorik, there are various reforms planned for the incumbent faith militants, as well as an overarching system for holy orders as a whole. The White Comet has been allowed to be realized into a whole order of its own, while a Reinmaren inquisition is also forming in their lands; just as the Mother Church is divided into her dioceses and eparchies, so too shall holy orders be so.

 

Local orders, in this way, will be able to more properly adapt to the plights of the nations’ citizenry, being made up of actual residents of such polities, and reach more effective compromises with their respective princes. These orders would, ultimately, be in communion with the Mother Church; as do dioceses, being loyal to the Church institution, but functioning in accordance with the local culture and customs. 

 

As per these reforms, a universal code of conduct that shall apply to all future holy orders is currently being drafted, wherein Canonist Princes shall be assured that there is to be no arbitrary meddling from any of the current and to be created holy orders in their polities. These tenets and ethos shall be their law, a requirement for maintaining their status as a faith militant, applying universally to all ordermen, inquisitors, and holy knights. 

 

In addition, the historically titular position of Commandant is to be reformed into a legal figure of accountability, to manage and catalog all holy orders, and police them should they step out of line. This way, the system can be standardized to avoid issues of sovereignty and ensure their practice remains well documented and within acceptable legal parameters.

SECTION XI - ON EXCOMMUNICANTS

 

 

The Church, in her wisdom, is meant to act as a parent. It is thusly that a priest is called a ‘Father’, and a priestess a ‘Mother’, for they are an extension of a familial role, to teach and to guide all the flock as children of their own. Though the excommunications of the past conflict offered no penance, preferring a unilateral banishment of communion rather than the opportunity for true redemption.

 

This stands antithetical to the Church’s role as a spiritual and moral guide, for what Mother casts her son out of the house without a chance of redemption? Pray, all those still excommunicated from the war must come forward to me, and will be offered proper penance. Those truly penitent shall see their excommunications lifted, while those who are not, shall not. 

 

 

---

 

SECTION XII - ON RAGUEL

 

 

Behold, the faithful of Canondom; For the past years, a consistent revelation has been gracing our presence, for the purported Aengul of Justice, Raguel has revealed himself across Canondom, who extols the name and word of the Lord before us. Indeed, I myself have enjoyed the fruits of Faith proffered onto me by this divine mystery.

 

Yet, the appearance of such a miracle for our faith is a tenuous concept to wrestle with; for a veil of uncertainty shrouds the hearts of some of our flock that we may either be doubting Divine Revelation, or that we may be accepting a creation of Iblees as Truth. 

 

Again, the Church of the Canon must stand as a moral guide before men, that we may come to a verdict through the convention of another Ecumenical Council, that we may deliberate and ascertain the legitimacy of Raguel’s message. 

 

 

---

 

SECTION XIII - ON THE LURINITE TREATISE

 

 

It has come to my attention that in recent months, Lurinite and Aaunic ambassadors met and drafted the incumbent Second Floodplains Accord, whereas John, the Apostolic King, has outlined clauses for the protection of faithful canonists residing within Lurin - a commendable action, which will surely see the flock finally protected in what has only since been dangerous lands to tread.

 

It is no secret that Lurinite residents and authorities have, in the past had a tenuous relationship with our Mother Church and her faithful, their deeds ranging from casting our priests out of their walls to condemning the good High Pontiff Sixtus the Sixth for daring to be attacked within their walls. Yet, there have also been cases in which the Lurinites have shown our Church good faith and cooperation; as with this recent accord.   

 

In spirit of preserving this concord between both the Apostolic Kingdom and Lurin as well as our Church, we bid His Apostolic Majesty, King John of Aaun to sponsor the construction of a chapel within the borders of the Serene State, that the local authorities of Lurin may draft and charter an area for the Church to stand, and that King John may provide the mortar and stone for the construction.

 

This chapel shall be ordained in the name of Saint-King Caius of the Westerlands. From my own household, I shall provide for it to hold a most holy relic, a saintly fingerbone, to sponsor the Chapel and to render it viable for pilgrimage. We bid unto Lurin to keep its doors open for pilgrims, and never attempt to disturb or stray them off their path.
