Nooblius 7965 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2024 ☺ In Western Lands (Sam's Song in Cirith Ungol) - Clamavi De Profundis High Priest of True Faith, Archbishop of Visigia, Successor of Clement and Evaristus, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, High Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, Missionary to Aeldin, High Servant to the Exalted’s Testaments, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD does decree… EXALTED OWYN, PRAY FOR OUR SPIRIT SAINT POPE CAIUS PRIMUS, PRAY FOR OUR PURITY SAINT DANIEL OF AL’KHAZAR, PRAY FOR OUR PEACE THE CONFESSION OF DUNWEN Therefore the Thain of the Weefolk makes confession before all the scattered tribes; The Shiredom of Dunwen has done greatly wrong, in what it has done and failed to do. The simple and humble charism of childish innocence was denied by its own trusted leaders so that they may pursue instead politik and slander. The taking in of vassals, worse yet with no mind to what moral character these vassals have. The paving over of pastures and hills good for farming and burrowing, to instead place castles. The insulting and provocation of its neighbors then loud proclamation of its own meek standing, and otherwise attempts to manipulate the virtuous to protect them from consequence. The smearing against the dignity of persons of the Khanate by scrawlings in brazen libel. The failure to keep their lands clean of Ruin, and making friends with those enthralled to Ruin. The engagement in great political schemes and secretive meetings rather than trust in their own innocence. All in all; the Shiredom of Dunwen is hardly a shire any longer. Where one might expect to find rolling hills with gardens and hobbit-holes, one instead finds a coalition of leper-ridden castles with a small and dirtied shire at its center. TO RETURN TO THE SHIRE The Shiredom of Dunwen is abolished, and this is its final decree; to abstain forevermore from the political. The Halflings shall surrender their former land to the Crusade for Ritual Cleansing and begin an immediate exit. They shall pursue at their interests to move to found a new shire elsewhere in abandonment of their previous false idol of sovereignty. This need not be in any land controlled by the Church or its princes, but it must not be under the leadership of Cyris Collingwood, Mangolia Collingwood, or Rosllyn O’Applefoot, nor otherwise go against this decree 'lest it invites the same troubles. They shall never take on vassals again, for sake of keeping themselves clean of the political and perverse. They shall never engage in treaties or other political gambits again. Their trust of defense shall not fall in such shrewd plots such as these, but rather in their liege lord, and the goodwill of the virtuous to come and defend the redeemed childish innocent. I will not say the day is done Nor bid the stars farewell. IN NOMINE DEI HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS, Anorhil Antonius Caranethion of the House Arthalionath, Crown Prince of Númenost, Seneschal of the True Faith, Captain of the Radiant Guard, Templar of the Archangel Michael, Knight of the Realm Mangolia Collingwood Holly Hornwood ❀ 40 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckless Banzai Screamer 15456 Share Posted October 7, 2024 Kato Ena smiles as he discreetly reads the proclamation in the comfort of his bedroom in Castle Kato by his terrarium of insects, noting the name King Cyris. After he finished reading, he sets the missive down to pull out a wallet portrait of Hana Song - his one-sided love across the Great Sea back in Cunyuan. "Another blow to the hakujin patriarchy, and cultural victory at last to that bigot King Cyris. The war is almost over, and perhaps if news ever reaches across the Great Storm you will notice me at last Hana." spoke the Oyashi mercenary to the picture with dreams beyond ashigaru conscription. But with patriotic nationalism even far-fetched dreams could be accomplished. "KAMI BLESS THE IRON LADY! AUNTIE A!!!" 14 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mielofficial 490 Share Posted October 7, 2024 𝓂𝒶𝓇𝒾𝑔𝑜𝓁𝒹 spits on the ground upon reading of the news, "Anyfolk fetishizing the killing of peaceful creatures is disgusting," she mutters to herself, "And where is our absent 'King' who was supposed to defend Babblebrook? Shameful." She crumples up the missive and tosses it in the roaring fire at the Club. "Shameful," she repeats, "All of it." 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
