- Virtue, 7:6

 

It is this eve, that the humble Canonist Princes, and Realms, of our Holy Mother Faith, convene amidst the

morrow’s early light, to sign & pen, their forward march, unto a Canondom, united in our Exalted Father’s

true Virtue, Heart & Faith; rather than, in Avarice, Wroth & State.

 

It is this eve, that our Faith’s Most Ardent Flock, stand in march, shouting aloft, to the choir of their risen,

fathers, mothers, kin; a dirge unbroken, unmarred since, proclaiming, “The Father’s Virtue, Here, Yet Lives!”

as Servants hence to NAUGHT, but our Exalted Father’s willing flock.

No Empire, henceforth seen, born, of Avarice, Wroth & Sin; by the hand, of naught one Priest, Brother,

Prince or King; for His charge of us is done, United Canon, stood as one; sworn to kneel before NAUGHT

Crown, but the Father’s, looking down.

 

 

‘ The Canonist Faithful, marching as one, in defiance of the wicked, the tyrant, and malign. ’

 

 

THE SACRED COVENANT

“ United In Faith, Nary in State ”

 With the signing and promulgation of this document, the Canonist Princes,
Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska - Principality of Reinmar - Commonwealth of the Petra - Kingdom of Balian
henceforth referred to as ‘the signatories’, do agree on their honour to the terms laid forth hereafter.

I. PRINCES OF CANONDOM ✦

 

Dame Amélie Auclair, Ordained Vicar of Our Faith ✦ The Canonist Princes, and Most Ardent Faithful

Flock, of our Holy Mother Faith, herein declare our Exalted Father’s charge, be done, United Canon,

stood as one; herein pledging to alas, fulfill our Father’s ordained unity of canondom, and humanity,

by way & virtue of our faith, rather than subjugation, force or state; seeing that a canondom united in

faith, labour, march & heart, rather than the unification of a singular nation-state & forceful subjugation

of our kindred, faithful flock, stands as the pinnacle of our Exalted Father’s true virtue, will & faith.

 

Herein, reasserting & ordaining, the Spiritual Charge of our Holy Mother Church, as herald, and advisor,

to the Temporal Authority, bestowed unto Our Exalted Father’s Canonist Princes, by our Father’s Grace

- together alone, defining our Holy Mother Faith & our Exalted Father’s Covenant, and Charge.

 

And declare, herein, that the Father’s Virtue, here, yet lives; that no quarter, will be suffered, unto

the imperial, tyrant or corrupt. As servants hence to naught, but our Exalted Father, and his Most

Faithful, Willing Flock; with no Crown, to stand above, Our Father’s Princes, but the Father’s, high above.

II. THE COVENANT ✦

 

The Horenic Covenant, of our Most Exalted Father, is henceforth, laid to the subsequent terms; disavowing,

henceforth, in the absolute, the subjugation of aught, of our Most Faithful, Blessed Flock, at the hands of

AUGHT party, realm, or crown. Acting as the aegis that forestalls AUGHT pretense of imperialism, subjugation,

or apocryphal practice, act or crime.

 

Section I: Definitions

 

a. “Imperialism” refers to any actions perpetuated in the subjugation, and assimilation of other realms, holdings, or people, 

either by threat, manipulation, deception, or martial force, in lieu of those realms, holdings, or people’s desire or assent.

 

b. “Imperial Ambition” refers to an individual’s, realm’s or organisation’s efforts & labours, whether martial, coercive,

subversive, or otherwise, in shaping, or bringing about one’s realm’s or people’s involvement in Imperialism.

 

c. “Canonist Princes” refers to our Exalted Father’s Canonist Realms & Sovereigns, bestowed with our Lord God’s Temporal
Authority, and primacy over His Most Blessed, Willing Flock; sworn in servitude to our Lord God’s Virtue & Flock.

 

Section II: Sacred Covenant

 

a. SACRED-ALLIANCE ✦ In adherence to our Exalted Father’s charge, of his Blessed Horenic Flock; the Princely Signatories,

hereby see our Lord God’s charge, be done, seeing to the unity of Canondom, and it’s Princes, by way & virtue of our faith,

rather than subjugation, force or state; pursuant to this document’s signing, summarily conceiving, a sacred alliance, wherein

their kindred realms will labour, and march as one, in the defence of another’s realms, and their blessed, willing flock. With

any aggression laboured unto one signatory’s realm, or their blessed, faithful flock  (both within, and without, our Princely

Signatories’ Realms), being interpreted as rendered unto all, and the Holy Mother Faith, itself.

 

b. ON IMPERIALISM ✦ In line, with the Exalted Father’s charge, of his Blessed Horenic Flock; the Princely Signatories, avow

to uphold the Sovereignty, and Temporal Authority, bestowed unto them, as our Exalted Father’s Princes, and servants of

his Virtue, Will & Flock. Pledged in Sacred Covenant, to nary engage, or suffer, the acts, or labours, of Imperialism, or Imperial

Ambition; by the hand, of naught one Priest, Brother, Prince or King. Avowing that our Exalted Father’s Princes, will kneel

before NAUGHT crown, but the Father’s, looking down.

 

i. Should a contingent, group, retinue, or realm, be suspected of these charges, each Princely Signatory is empowered

with a means to convene the Sacred Covenant, to bring forth, and argue, the Covenant’s involvement in forestalling

the respective party’s Imperial Ambition; should nary all of the Princely Signatories assent, no joint offensive action

will be sought.

 

ii. Should a Princely Signatory pursue any offensive war, without the joint assent & labour of the wider Covenant,

the Princely Signatory in question, will be exempt from the defensive considerations of the Sacred Covenant until

such a time they conclude their offensive war; and privy to support from aught other Princely Signatory on their

own independent volition alone.

 

iii. Should a Princely Signatory be the one suspected of engaging in Imperialism, or Imperial Ambition; the Sacred

Covenant will be convened, as for any other party; with the suspected Princely Signatory, being relieved of their

vote, for the duration of the Covenant Hearing, yet empowered, with an inalienable right to defending themselves

amidst the proceedings. Should the Sacred Covenant truly find the Princely Signatory guilty of such charges, they will

be summarily removed from the Covenant. If they are found, to nary be guilty of the charges proffered, the Princely

Signatory that levied the charges, will instead be the one expected to mend the fraternal bond, meant to be shared

between each Princely Signatory.

 

c. COMMITMENT ✦ The commitments penned & signed, this eve, shall last until such time as the Princely Signatories, and their

respective sovereigns see the end of their rule, requiring that the parties reconvene such to confirm the continuation of the Sacred

Covenant.

King John II smiled as the missive was published. At long last, months of diplomacy and discussions had paid off. "United in faith, nary in state," he said, reiterating the mantra that had brought the signatories together.

 

[Yeetboy0206 1574]

Estevot cheered.

[Jihnyny 5233]

Louis was not fond of mega coalitions; despite his loyalty to one of the nations that was now apart of said coalition. He'd hope that war was to be soon. But he also hoped it wouldnt be a mega stomp.

[__Stal27 2126]

"United in faith, Net in State." The Prince of Monterosa declared as the covenant was announced. 

[garentoft 9265]

"Forever in faith, never in state," Tomasz continues to be the third person to speak that word, but in a slightly different way. Afterwards, he falls to his knees and signs the Lorraine cross over his chest, both in celebration of this faithful brotherhood, but also in mourning of the Haeseni hero, Barbara Heidyr, an inspiration to all commoners.

[erictafoya 3276]

Under the night stars of the highest tower of Haense, a man plays a game in his lonesome as he meditated on his most chaotic year yet.
 

The man places a piece forward. "Rook to D8", he said to himself. It was only when his closest knight and paramount, Ser Andrei, chased his way up the high tower and hand delivered the good news to him. 

 

Then, and only then, did he break his meditation to utter simple, yet impactful, words.

"United in faith, never in state"

 

Satisfied with the news, and seemingly his game, the man rose from the floor and left the board as it were. Strange. . . It seems he was awaiting the next move.

[Xarkly 17299]

 

The perpetual known as Aesingyr stirred behind youthful eyes.

 

The memories were not really memories; more like sensations, a reflex that hadn't been roused in decades. Dream-like visions of battlefields, of a hundred banners in a thousand coloured patterns rippling above fields of corpses and smouldering ramparts, flashed unbidden through his mind. The vessel that hosted Aesingyr could not say how he knew, but all he knew was that there could be no future where Mankind flourished without the restoration of the Mandate of Heaven.

 

Without the reunification of Man.

It was inevitable. Without that, the ken of Horen would wither.

 

And yet, in the same vein, there was a second sensation that accompanied that.

 

That there was none living who was worthy of the mantle. 

 

Not yet, at least.

Not yet.

[Frisket 4537]

“Oh….Malani…it’s starting”

 

Ember said to Jarad as he came back from a council meeting waving the missive.

"Which one of these is a Horen?" 

Spoke Charles, a prince of Renatus.

[tilly 5115]

“I did not see this coming.” Princess Mattea of the Petra noted the lack of certain realms being included as signatories on the holiest alliance she’d ever seen - most notably the Holy Mother Church itself and its devout followers. “What could it mean that the Pontifical States and Numendil have not been invited to such a GODly covenant?” She asked her husband over their breakfast that morning.

[Lortime 1153]

Alaric stood, looking out a windowsill at the top of St. Joren's, directly across the Kastell Lesanov, the covenant sat behind him on a table. He rythmically tapped his fingers against the flagstone of the sill, with an empty stare peering into the quiet of the night, in deep contemplation. 

"...Alea Iacta Est..."

[Nectorist 12869]

“We have been doing different variations of this song and dance for close to a century now. Please just initiate the war against Numendil and the Church so we can skip a few years of the back and forth and get right into the action,” says Albatross Volaren from the metaphorical sidelines, that being his quiet abode, ready to watch.

[Chorale__ 2147]

"I believe it speaks volumes to their faith that they deliberately excluded the Pontifical States and Numendil from their pact... I wonder how the See will respond-- I pray they show them true mercy." commented Lord Charles Halcourt to his close relative within the Blessed Heart.

“Finally.” Miroslaw Jazlowiecki says with a wide grin. “Things are happening.”
