MadOne 3387 Popular Post Share Posted March 20 Agreed on this day by the City-State of Kaethul, and the Church of the Canon. HIS HOLINESS CAIUS I, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Archbishop of Visigia, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, Missionary to Aeldin, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Sovereign of the Apostolic City, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD does decree the following… My brothers, my sisters; to all you who find solace in the sheepfold of the Lord, 'LO! See that the House of Horen pays its debts, and sets right the wrongs of its blood in accordance with the Law, measure for measure. For too long has Man profaned himself with war, shedding the blood of his own kin, that holy blood so blessed by the Lord our God, and that this crime has so distanced us from our Lord. See that we have set Horen's house in order, you Children of God, and sigh no more, and kvetch no longer, and cease the grinding of your teeth, fore the House of the Lord is Holy, and the Priesthood keeps Holy what belongs to Him, His Temples, His Priests, His people, His flame, to the joy of His Spirit, may he bless us for ever and ever. And in the crime of Man, in the ignorance of our wars and kinslaying, we have fallen victim to the encroach of the Enemy, who has set loose upon us the most abominable devils of the dark, monsters, beast-men, unclean spirits, wicked creatures-all, to scatter God's people. But for the cleanliness of our House, by the power vested into Horen's Laurel which is sat atop my head, I say to you, we shall suffer these plights no longer, but face them, and set upon them with the righteous fury of the Kingdom of God, which brooks no horror, nor demon, nor unclean thing. It is unbefitting Man to do nothing, when his King has called him out to war! And in the face of the martyrdom of our sister through Julia, Queen Amaya of our most reverent Faith, who's holy blood, martyr's blood, calls out for justice and sanctifies the world on which it had spilt for that God had so loved her, I have taken up the call her death has sounded, in as much as I am High Priest, anointed successor of the mission of the Prophet Owyn. So too have I given her the rites of safe passage, for that a martyr has no need, who is taken quickly into the arms of their Lord in the Seven Skies. To these ends, to the glory of God and for the justice of the martyrs of His True Faith, I ordain this treaty, that we may finally take up the call and make Holy War upon the servants of the Arch-Enemy, as it has always been Man's duty to do. Burdened no more by the strife of brother wars, I say to you, JUSTICE is the bidding of the Lord, and JUSTICE we shall bring to the lands in South, Fore HOREN'S HOUSE IS HOLY, and fore that it is holy knows no danger within its walls, and is free therefore to march out of Horen's camp and into the forces of IBLEES, wherever he has come to squat. Thus, in the interest of purging the vile darkspawn menace which has infested all of our lands, the City-State of Kaethul shall agree to the following requests of the Holy Mother Church: I.) All clergy, holy ordermen, monastics, and other servants of the Holy Mother Church shall be granted free passage through, and be permitted to conduct patrols throughout, the lands of the City-State of Kaethul. a.) These shall include those men of the holy orders of the Church of the Canon, including but not limited to those of the Order of Saint Jude, the White Comet of Jorenus, and the inquisition of Reinmar as well as any and all authorized agents of the Holy See. II.) Furthermore, the City-State of Kaethul shall allow those agents appointed by the Holy Mother Church to conduct darkspawn testing within their lands. a.) Agents of the Church shall be permitted by the City-State of Kaethul to capture any individual suspected of being a darkspawn for trial or questioning. b.) These agents shall be explicitly distinguished by their holding a warrant signed by His Holiness, a member of his Curia, or a Bishop of the Church of the Canon. III.) The City-State of Kaethul shall also provide a parcel of land within its borders to be leased to the Holy See to serve as an outpost for further investigation into matters pertaining to the darkspawn menace. IV.) Land shall also be set aside by the City-State of Kaethul for the construction of a Canonist chapel within its walls, the building of which is to transpire within five years of the signing of this concord. V.) For so long as the City-State of Kaethul adheres to this concord, the Holy Mother Church shall recognize this polity as being a self-governing autonomous zone within Haelun’or with its own laws and freedoms. aa.) They shall be further guaranteed from the provocation of any conflict on our part, including from all forms of crusade and holy war and shall be offered respite from coercive and draconian proselytization. VI.) This concord shall be reviewed and its renewal discussed upon the election of a new High Pontiff or a change in the highest echelon of leadership within the City-State of Kaethul. SIGNED, Yera Silveira, Overlord of Kaethul, Okarir’san of Haelun’or 57 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbarah 5021 Share Posted March 20 From the Seven Skies, the martyred Queen felt a sense of ease despite all she had suffered in her final moments. There would be justice, but she hoped that peace for Canondom would follow soon after. 17 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
