BY THE WILL AND AUTHORITY OF THE WHITE THRONE

 

    It is with much concern that we have observed in recent months the continuing escalation of hostilities in the lands to Foroduin’s east. High rise the pillars of smoke on our horizon, and grim are the tidings on the wind. In the Heartlands, chaos blossoms and the Men of Númendil have been called to answer, first by our allies and now by our Church. 

 

Thus, by my station as Queen of the Númenedain, I do decree the following:

 

WHEREAS, bloodshed has darkened the Heartland realm, and resulting tensions threaten to escalate into total war affecting realms beyond and;

 

WHEREAS, His Holiness the Pontiff has requested the aid of the Númenedain as mediators and preservers of peace;

 

NOW THEREFORE, by the blessing of the Archangel Michael, the Kingdom of Númendil shall hereafter enter active cooperation with the Mother Church in ensuring a path towards peace and the prevention of further escalation wherever possible.

 

   To this end, the Knights of the White Tower, the Radiant Guard of Númenost, the Rangers of the Númenaranyë, and the retained levies and soldiers of our leal Lordships are hereby ordered to provide what aid they might to the Church and its agents in their endeavors. Likewise, for the sake of ensuring the wellbeing of the commonfolk in this time of troubles, especially with such reports as have arisen of banditry and marauding, they shall be ordered to render succor and defense to the good noncombatants of the neighboring realms.

ACCORDS OF INTERCESSION

— As set forth by Deunoro I and Her Royal Majesty Tar-Caraneth Aryantë —

 

ARTICLE I – Terms of Cooperation

   Until such time as the conflict in the Heartlands has been resolved, the Kingdom of Númendil shall, at the request of His Holiness, act on the Mother Church’s behalf to maintain what virtue and innocent life might be preserved in this conflict, to prevent further escalation, and to provide what assistance possible to bring about a good and lasting peace. To this end, the soldiers of Númendil shall provide all aid possible to the agents of the Church in the pursuit of investigations, mediations, and protection of the noncombatants of the realm.

 

ARTICLE II – Goals of the Númenedain Mission

  The Númenedain shall, for the duration of the mission in the Heartlands, commit themselves to the preservation of peace, the safeguarding of noncombatants, and the encouragement of virtue in spite of the dark circumstances of the day.

 

ARTICLE III – Authorities and Duties of the Númenedain Mission 

  Pursuant to the goals of their operations, the soldiers of Númendil will conduct investigations and arrests as necessary, however will refrain from passing sentence except as necessary, or as prescribed by the presiding officers of the church and in accordance with the rulings of ecumenical tribunals. The Númenedain, in the course of their mission, shall act as servants of the Church and therefore conduct themselves in a manner so befitting. They shall conduct what operations they might in a civil manner. Accordingly, they shall not take up arms in the conflict, nor act in undue violence. In the event that Númenedain peacekeepers are met with hostility, they shall be granted discretion to respond in kind.

Sir Stefan af Don af Petra took a deep breath, and looked into his scrying orb. "Guys, I really f*cked up here."

[Rig 17591]

It has come to my attention that as of a recent excursion into Numendil, numerous animals were slain on the part of Petran Republican Forces (PRF). The presumption on behalf of the leading members of our organization was that the country of Numendil was willingly entering a civil conflict on the behalf of Renilde’s Monarchists who control the country. Upon being consulted by numerous allies on the folly of this maneuver, it is clear to us now that we have erred in our rhetoric. 

 

At my hands now, with the deepest reverence for our Mother Church, I apologize for the slaughter of the cows within Numendil and their adjacent barns. The Petran Republican Forces are prepared to return the leather and then discuss mitigating these damages with the Numenedain government and the Mother Church. 

 

In perceiving this action on behalf of the Numenedain Crown to be aggression upon the lands of Our People, we responded with gratuitous violence. Fortunately, my peers reached me when they did. In the interest of peace in the Heartlands, I outstretch this olive branch to those who would take it. We shall gladly repay the Numenedain Crown for the resources that were unlawfully seized in this Cow Massacre. 

 

In the interest of seeking a dialogue for which there might be true rectitude, I offer that first, and pursuant to this apology I shall do what I can to make amends. As the Pontiff himself has decreed he will support steps towards peace, I shall do the same, so long as it is recognized we fight tyranny – we shall respect noncombatants, and take steps towards mending our relationship with the Numenedain Crown. I eagerly await our meeting.

 

In the name of God’s providence and deliverance, 

Valerius Montalt, Triumvir of the Revolutionary Leadership

Tyrant of the Harrenites,

 

I know it is hard to sympathize from your ivory tower. But 300 mina? That could feed my family for five years. You cannot take this from us, we will starve. I have subsisted on a diet of mountain grass and Aaunishman stew until my fellows and I came into a rather large windfall last Saint's Day. Please, be reasonable. Also I do not condone any form of imprisonment, for imprisonment is the cousin to slavery.

 

Let us speak, face to face. Yes?

To the gracious Numenedain Queen,

 

The actions of Sir Stefan af Don af Petra does not define the beliefs of the P.R.F. and our cause. We wish for peace, but the Sir unfortunately wrote without my guidance. Only in his elderly years did he learn to read. The senile man will henceforth be placed under constant supervision, as old and ailing as he is now. This most grievous offense will not occur again.

Commander Bertholdt scratched the back of his steely helmet, a sigh escaping his lips as he began to scrawl a reply beneath the pamphlet.
