DECLARATION OF THE REPUBLIC

---

 

Within the course of nature, the motion of the tide and the change of the seasons are an inescapable promise; in the grand sweep of history, it is necessary that a people pursue that to which the laws of nature entitle them.

 

The rights of the Descendants are dispensed by God and the law. None can be upheld without the divine providence of the Almighty. None can be dispensed without first following in the path set by the Scroll of Virtue. These are the promise of life, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. 

 

We hold these truths to be sacred and undeniable, that Virtue can be shared in all corners and creeds; that the Lord God is the fire in the desert and the soft wind which cools it; that turmoil is a test of our spirit from the Lord; that there shall be no peace but His peace. 

 

The road to peace and happiness is open to us and we will climb it, not because we believe it is due to us but because it is the indispensable duty of a magistrate to oblige his people to piety and justice. We believe in the ability for all Descendant-kind to gain salvation in the Lord God, as written in the Holy Scrolls, but the will of the Almighty has been made clear.

 

The right to life is imperilled by a sovereign injuriously entrenching his people further and further into conflict. The means are tyrannical and, invariably, the end is depostic. In such a case where the right to life and liberty is imperilled, it is the duty of citizens to discard such governance. The grievances against the Merchant Lord are as follows:

 

The discovery of the existence of a ‘dirty bomb’ planted by dark mages in the prismarine city—

The unfettered chaos of the State, including the rise of a warlord in the prismarine city—

The repeated inability to defend his constituents against darkspawn marauders, including a Frostwitch attack on Salvo lasting three days—

The neglect to answer a request made some years ago to abdicate and repent to prevent violent hostilities against his people—

The neglect of his predecessor to cause a Charter proposed by Salvo to be made constituting a free system of government.

 

In every stage we have endeavoured to cause the most peaceful and humble solution: Our letters have not been answered. Our people sleep in fear of marauders, our families live under the shadow of black magic—these are the wages of tyranny. A sovereign thus acting with wanton disregard for the liberty of his peoples acts as a tyrant, and is unfit to rule. When peace is met with silence, action becomes the last refuge of the just.

 

We, therefore, the people of Salvo, solemnly declare the dissolution of our feudal vestiges; and that further we say that no man, or class of men, is entitled to decide on the fate of their fellows, who are by their nature equal and free. Nor shall the people be deprived of uniform government, partitioning this nation recklessly between despots and tyrants. Salvo says no more; not seeking dominion for itself, but to restore order and uphold liberty and safety where the old regime has failed.

 

Impelled by the dictates of sacred duty, it is in obedience to the Almighty that the Serene State of Lurin shall be dissolved, making way for the establishment of the free Canonist Republic.

 

We, the people of Salvo, pledge our lives and stake our prosperity to the cause of this Republic. May Almighty God advance with us in the cause of liberty.

WARGOAL: The Republican Revolution of Lurin

[Axelu 4333]

The son of Tristan Talraen, one Ulysses, lifted a tankard of ale with glee. He had just heard news of his wife, Anna-Mae’s pregnancy. “Two new beginnings,” he cheered, determined to resolve peace and prosperity for his unborn child, and the generations to come.

"OH YEAH! IT'S GO TIME!" Said Duke Henry Arthur Haverlock of Blackworth, a staunch foreign backer of the Republican cause. After all, he had been raised within a Republic long ago and held sympathies to the ideology! He spread the missive around Blackworth and made preparations to support his Canonist kinsmen.

"The time has come. The Lubba and The Serene State are no longer able to protect the lands of the realm. The Lubba fled alongside his cohorts, we must take action now and destroy the darkspawn opposition that terrorize the Marshlands, the canondom community needs this. LURIN DELENDA EST" Cedric Drakehart would say while standing alongside Tristan and his other friends of Salvo while they write the declaration.

Anna-Mae, who was somewhat oblivious to the fact she was pregnant - rose a glass of ale in the pub. "Two new beginnings!" She repeated, the ale staining the wooden floor. Before she could take a swig, however, a local patron reminded her of her pregnancy. She groaned, trying to light a cigarette, until the same patron reminded her again.

The young lawman, Jacob Morgan, raised his mug in the tavern. "Ladies and Gentlemen, we may die, but we shall do it as free men. In service of God."

One of these missives would find its ways into the hands of the oldest of the Thibault Brothers, Aleamme. Reading the parchment he smiled and handed the missive to his younger brother, Dion ( @BlauRps ).

”Viva la révolution, frère!” The Auvergnian Half-Elf said, raising a glass of homemade Thibault Merlot™️ before downing the shot.
