SHATTERING THE RING

The Birth of a Republic

 

 

In the turning of the Great Plane, as the stars trace their paths across the sky and the seasons shift without end, so too do the destinies of Men rise and fall. It is in this ceaseless flow that we beat our oars with the stream of destiny, knowing our place as instruments of a higher will. It is the destiny of all men to one day govern themselves and to take responsibility for their place in the current.

 

It is not for any one man to dictate the fate of others. The Almighty Lord has woven into the very fabric of creation the right to live free from the shadow of Ibleesian tyranny. Yet, freedom without virtue is alike to the fire without warmth; a light that blinds rather than guides, burns rather than protects. Thus, the right of Man to rule themselves must be tempered by our duty to walk the path of the virtuous. Upon this anvil MORAL GOVERNMENT is tempered and the RING OF FEUDALISM shattered forevermore, just as We the People of Salvo have broken the RING OF THE LUBBA.

 

The People of Salvo are agreed:

 

1. The titles of old are like ashes in the wind, floating from nation to nation. The manner of their movement is no more dignified than a beggar. Titles of nobility are therefore UNRECOGNISED in the Republic. All titles associated with the former state of Lurin are detached from any former weight in law and are to remain as solely personal honorifics.
2. That there shall be a CONGRESS of the FREE CANONIST REPUBLIC entrusted with the highest powers of government, by the consent of the governed.
   1. A President of that Congress shall be elected by delegates as a presiding officer. The President’s role is NOT TO GOVERN but to guide Congress and to ensure its will is carried out.
3. Each region of the Republic, once specially marked by a cartographer, will be entitled to send delegates to the Congress, but only verifiable Canonists who swear an oath of loyalty to the Republic shall be allowed to take their seat. For the meantime, the township of Salvo will send six delegates to Congress.
4. When our INFANT REPUBLIC is ready, the People of Salvo will conduct FREE AND FAIR elections to decide their delegates. It is our intention that a CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION will one day clarify the election of our HEAD OF STATE.
5. As a state borne of the CRUSADE, the Republic’s army shall be integrated with the Holy Army for the time being. The Republic shall provide recruits and resources to the Holy Army in addition to providing a place to make camp close to the township.
