SECTION VI

ON THE BALIAN-AAUN CONSPIRACY

 

In the year 1991 a meeting was held in the Kingdom of Balian to discuss secret plans to depose the duly elected successor to Owyn’s priesthood, the High Priest Ro’eh Tzon. This meeting was attended by some Councilors of Aaun, the King of Balian, the Crown Prince of Balian, the Chancellor of Balian, various guards and a young Novellen prince. Both the Chancellor of Aaun and the King of Balian explicitly led talks of deposing, witnessed by the aforementioned. 

 

The Chancellor and Crown Prince of Balian explicitly engaged in the discussion, seeking effective means of gathering support against the High Priest, collecting grievances and taking stock of who might support and oppose them. Only a number of the guards and the boy Novellen prince came forward to report on the grave scheme being developed. 

 

The reasons later professed by the guilty parties for their proclivity to this plot (though they acknowledged in their guilty pleas that it was an unjustifiable act) was two main factors; that his Holiness had rebuked the Queen of Balian for stealing 20 fleece from a consecrated flock as a Cardinal, and that his his Holiness had landed in his own territory of Lemon Hill some men who sought to serve the Church who had been enemies of the previous Aaunish Monarch (who had been forced to abdicate due to his terrible crimes).

 

Spoiler

On the matter of the consecrated flock; witnesses can testify that the Queen of Balian repeatedly ignored demands of then Cardinal Callahan to return the fleece and apologize, constantly belittling his authority to rebuke her. When he threatened to excommunicate her, she still did not take it seriously- to which Cardinal Callahan informed her that ecclesiastically it would be no worse for her to die then and there if she cared so little for her salvation. 

 

This was taken out of context in hysteria to fearmonger others about Cardinal Callahan, when the Church had already been in talks to see through a reconciliation.

 

On the matter of the landing of black sheep; there is not much to say, other than it remains absolutely within the purview of his Holiness to administer his own land. Furthermore, it is especially gross that anyone would take such an insult to efforts to bring people willing to enter the fold of Canondom that one is willing to break their own oaths of piety to oppose it. It is the epitome of allowing temporal interests to govern one’s soul, rather than Horen’s canticles of Virtue or Owyn’s epistles of Spirit.

 

As the conspirators traveled to try and recruit others to their plot, it had already been informed on to the Church, and an emergency conference was held at Numenost. There, a Holy League was formed for the purpose of rooting out the disunity in faith and prosecuting the schismatics, led by the appointed Seneschal Anorhil Antonius. They sallied out to Reinmar, where the Reinmaren Princes rebuked the folly of the envoys from Balian and Aaun. 

 

There, both Reinmar and Haense signed onto the Holy League. The force then rode east, to both Aaun and Balian, to confront the schismatics and collect testimony (Hyspia signed on the way towards Balian). 

 

At Aaun, the forces witnessed an angel of the Almighty, St Raguel, descended to Whitespire and commanded its vacation before it was smitten down by fire and brimstone. At Balian, the force was let in peacefully to interview some key members with connections to the conspiracy. Here, on oath to answer honestly before the Seneschal and Ivan Cardinal Lotharia, the truth was obfuscated and guilt denied. 

 

In the presence of his Holiness, Alexander Novellen, John Novellen, Kristoff Ruthern and Louis-Caspian all plead guilty to the crimes they were accused of. There were attempts throughout the trials to obfuscate the extent of their guilt, but ultimately each of them relented to the wisdom of the immortal temple of the ages, and have pledged to accept the penance issued by the High Priest.

SECTION VII

EXCOMMUNICATION

 

In coherence with previous publications of His Holiness as Auditor of the Tribunal and for the sake of clarity where predecessors have been obscure, the meaning of Excommunication is reminded. Excommunication is not a sword of the clergy to be wielded when assailed; the sword remains as it was for Owyn in former times a sword. 

 

It is the duty of the successor to that ancient servant of God to likewise wield a Flaming Sword; to wield the tangible symbol of action enwreathed in the illuminating Spirit which is substantiated by Virtue.

 

A declaration of Excommunication is instead an instrument of Wisdom; an observation of the utter lacking grace found within the accused which endangers their salvation. An observation that for their disregard of that which is holy, for their blasphemy against the Spirit, for their lack of repentance they are therefore in a state where upon death they would deny themselves entry to the Seven Skies in a rejection of the Most Merciful. 

 

The office of higher clergy is not one with the Almighty and making a decision for him that someone shall be denied entry to the Seven Skies, for that would be heresy. It is rather the charism of Wisdom trusted to be tied to these offices which grants their declarations weight, that their observations are accurate.

 

This makes the denial of charges of excommunication worse yet when done for temporal reasons, for one then denies an office they know to be wise out of inconvenience to their own interests thereby further disregarding the holiness of the Almighty’s promise of the Seven Skies.

 

 

---

 

THEREFORE the following are condemned for flagrant violation of the law, disregarding the holiness of the church and the unity of faith for temporal interests;

 

ALEXANDER CASIMIR NOVELLEN OF BALIAN is declared in state of EXCOMMUNICATION for the grave disregard to his salvation by plainly plotting to depose his Holiness, having organized conspiracy for this scheme. It has been elaborated that it was for the provocation against his filial pride which moved him to conspire so. 

 

His guilty plea is the first step on a path of penance, and is charged to take up a monastic life in service to his Church and his people in humility for the great sin of pride which motivated his crimes. Alexander is denied all titles and offices without approval of his Holiness, so that he may avoid the near occasion of sin.

 

LOUIS-CASPIAN DIEUXMONT DE ROSIUS OF AAUN is declared in state of EXCOMMUNICATION for the grave disregard to his salvation by plainly plotting to depose his Holiness, having organized conspiracy for this scheme. It had been admitted that the provocation for such acts was the black sheep rehabilitation, that the men of Grense were allowed into service of the Temple. 

 

His guilty plea and quick cooperation with the tribunal are the first steps on a path of penance, and he is charged to take up a vow of poverty and to live a life in service to his Church and his people in charity for the great sin of spite which motivated his crimes. Louis-Caspian is denied all titles and offices without approval of his Holiness.

 

KRISTOFF VAR RUTHERN OF BALIAN is declared in state of EXCOMMUNICATION for the grave disregard to his salvation by plainly plotting to depose his Holiness, having contributed to the gathering of support for the scheme and otherwise perjuring himself to obfuscate the conspiracy. 

 

His guilty plea is the first step on a path to penance, and Kristoff is charged to take up a monastic life in service to his Church and his people in humility for the great sin of pride which motivated his crimes. Kristoff is denied all titles and offices without approval of his Holiness, so that he may avoid the near occasion of sin.

 

JOHN CASIMIR BALDWIN NOVELLEN OF BALIAN is declared in state of EXCOMMUNICATION for the grave disregard to his salvation by obfuscating the conspiracy and his involvement connected to it. Despite being personally witness to the scheme and having engaged in the conversation immediately concerning the scheme, John denied all knowledge of it under holy oath. 

 

He has pleaded guilty to his negligence, despite further obfuscation, and his cooperation and demonstrated penitence is the first step towards reconciliation. John is charged to take a vow of humility and to serve the Lotharian Archdiocese for 6 years, and is denied all titles and offices (including line of succession) without approval of his Holiness so that he may avoid the near occasion of sin. 

 

In Absentia, EMILIO SIGISMONDO VAROCHE OF AAUN is declared in state of EXCOMMUNICATION for the grave disregard to his salvation by going into hiding and never coming forward with any testimony or plea at all, despite having been named and placed as witness to the conspiracy. 

 

Emilio is charged to take vows of poverty and humility, and to enter service to the Church in monastic life for the rest of his days. He is denied all titles and offices flatly, and ordered to turn himself into the Church or be presumed either dead or in flagrant disregard for his soul in comparison to petty feuds and politik.

 

In memory of older wrongs returned to light by her own kvetch, LAVANYA ARUNA NOVELLEN is declared in state of EXCOMMUNICATION for the grave disregard to her salvation by harassing a consecrated flock, stealing from a Cardinal, debating rather than cooperating at the admonishment and then stirring scandal by accusing his Holiness of flagrant bloodlust despite contrary context. 

 

Her humility before the temple, even when diminished by her later outbursts, and her clear lamentation at the suffering relationship with her son indicates the beginnings of reconciliation, and she is charged to by pilgrimage supervised by his Eminence Ivan Cardinal Lotharia to shepherd a flock from Balian to Lemon Hill. She is denied titles and offices at her own admission of sharing the burden of her husband, and is commended for her demonstration of spirit.

 

Failure to comply with orders for the purpose of reconciliation shall leave the charged in a state of excommunication and danger to their eternal soul. They are recognized as being in a state of humility as of this publishing, and are not to be further jeered but encouraged to pursue their reconciliation to completion. 

 

If any of the charged indicate a disregard for their crimes or the proper penance they owe to their Most Merciful the Almighty Creator, it shall further endanger their souls and they shall be recognized as unrepentant excommunicants, and acknowledged to be better off buried out back than to go about corrupting the youth and promoting scandal.

 

In light of these declarations, and at the consent of both penitent King and Crown Prince, the Kingdom of Balian enters interregnum with the Church to act as regent through her servant Ivan Cardinal Lotharia to ensure virtue and stability in the southern realm.

SECTION VIII

SUMMONS FOR THE AAUNIC DIET

 

It is observed that the boy king Godwin II of Aaun has been missing ever since the Balian-Aaun conspiracy began, if not since before. His innocence is celebrated in the same breath as his absence is lamented. All faithful are called to prayer for that the Most Merciful might ensure his safety.

 

The Holy Mother Church, in Her acting regency for the Kingdom of Aaun, calls to summon all the ennobled fief and vassal lords of the realm of Aaun to the Apostolic City, the Holy See beside the ruins of Whitespire.

 

Attendance is compulsory. Should any of the Aaunic lords be unable to attend for whichever reason, please get in contact via letter to the Pontifical Curia, notably her Eminence Clover Cardinal Mt. Lemon, to schedule an alternative meeting time.

[Nooblius 7965]

The Seneschal smiles the sun's smile as news reaches his ear of the publishing. It was months of work aiding the Church in the inquiries, and he felt comfort in having helped his teacher Rebbe Callahan, now High Priest Ro'eh Tzon. "I am tempted to think no priest since Owyn has had the same level of vision as his Holiness- his love for his faith and his flock is deeper than you might ever realize," he advises his squire Authadan.

[sergisala 3451]

"Everything always happens." said Father Marc, nodding in agreement with the wise words contained in His Holiness' signature.

[Pancho 4197]

"Perhaps Alexander's duty is truly over." Cerrick of Khamees lamented, a frown coming to his face. "For shame, I truly believed the Church would crusade against the darkspawn that plight the land. Instead they go to consolidate power."

[Enlightenment 2295]

"Excommunicate me all you want, you have treated with excommunicants all your life however and will without a doubt burn in the Nether for it," Emilio Varoche said, to the air.

[Herod 1417]

The Knight-Cardinal Druzstra lets the gavel of excommunication rest for a while and instead, picks up a boomsteel warhammer.

God bless and preserve.

The Proprietorship of the holy Fortified Chantry of Calliopeburg is saddened to inform the Aaunic regency of the unfortunate incapacitation of the Proprietress. While investigating the sudden and mysterious disappearance of the Midlands War Memorial and the mass grave of two hundred civilian victims of the war, suspecting a foul druidic plot (seeing as these landmarks gave way to a fully-sprouted forest in less than a Saint's Day), Her Excellency was reportedly seized by a band of orenids and dragged away to an undisclosed location after felling several. Orenids are, as you well know, Saulite mutants with a penchant for kidnappings and mutilations of the kin of Horen; however, certain features of scarring prominent upon Her Excellency are known to induce superstitious fear among this renegade folk, and we believe she remains alive and unharmed, and maintained in her ordeal by her ardent zeal and faith.

Until the Proprietress is rescued from the clutches of the vile orenid host, the Fortified Chantry shall consider itself represented by the delegation of the Principality of Merryweather as per the establishing terms of the Calliopeburg Grant.

Saint Calliope watch over you and grant you her blessings.

 

[Xtessisold222 484]

Galladon is most exicted for the Aaunic diet

 

[SapphirePool 1360]

The fallen ex-Queen of Balian, Lavanya read the golden bull. Her head repeatedly shook too and fro, a sign of her disagreement with the words which were printed before her. "Lies, does the pontiff not see the fleece which had been given immediately back to him, heard the numerous apologies uttered from my tongue? I accepted the punishment of temporary imprisonment, yet it was not enough. I accepted excommunication, but it was not enough. A sword be drawn, the words 'Bury her outback' uttered towards the sword bearer," she muttered, the woman of sleepless nights and terrors haunting her waking hours spoke to no one. None believed her, none would seek the truth in the midst of the all powerful and holy's words. No recourse but to live the rest of her days, rebuffed and lauded as a lying witch. "Has GOD no mercy for those who were so wronged? I serve my sentence, I do not deny my crimes. I sheered the sheep, I lied to protect my son. But GOD knows, he knows I do not lie of this heavy a nature. Won't any witnesses say anything? Is it my lot to die, belittled, alone, and forgotten."
Princess Lavanya clutched her now toddler daughter close, the child which had been in her womb when she was threatened. Fear plagued her mind, of men of the cloth coming in with swords and dying the walls red with their blood. The once bright, outgoing queen now wasting away like a neglected flower, only allowing her young daughter and husband to witness her decline.

[Andustar 4143]

"So it shall be. I must tread the path of penance, to seek absolution for my sins."
John persisted in his journey, the Cardinal of Lotharia's words ever on his mind.
"O'er the hills and under trees. Through summer's streams and winter's frost..."

From the Harrenite High Priest, regarding the garrison administration in Calliopeburg,

 

We are very sorry to hear of the plight of the keeper of the monastery at Calliopeburg, and, being ourselves of Harrenite extraction, know very well the incredible danger of orchids. There is nothing more despicable to us than the works of the Fae, the Fairy and the Ffffflower. Neither are we very partial to flays, but that is another matter. Indeed it is the duty of every  Gael, Gaul and Galatian, so set into this heart by the Lord his God, and reinforced by hundreds of years of persecution at the hand of the grass and moss, the frogs, the bogs, the snakes and other ill natured creatures, his will to evict from every place, by any means, the creatures of the deceptive swamplands. 

 

If there we may be in any way an aid to you in the rescue of your fortress-prison monastics, we are happy to provide. Additionally, we shall be delegating the upkeep of this monastery to the Prelate for the Clergy, Cardinal James, that it remain to be in the good hands of able-bodied administrators of the Church of the True Faith. 

 

God bless you,

 

Harrentzedek ☺

“Haha, **** you, roaches of Varoche, and also **** you Louis Caspian, you goddamn ne’er do well, rebel prick.” The fellow excommunicant, Renilde of the Petra, despite her many acts in service to the realm, smiled a nasty grin. She was ready to meet them in Hell.
