“O, Heavens above, bear witness to this daughter, the first of our Holy Imperium, born of crown and burden. Watch over her as she walks the path of her mother and her mother's mother, and the many women who came before her. Let no treachery touch her, no silence betray her. Let her be a light unto which all Canonist women might follow. Shield her heart from vanity, her spirit from fear. And place those in her company whom she might trust. Let her not bend beneath the burden of the weight she shoulders, but rise with it. Guard her now, our beloved Daughter of Man, and all the days to come. Amen.”

HARK UNTO THE LAND! The LORD Our GOD of Light has smiled upon Our Holy Imperium with favor, and has blessed the realm once more with the sweetest news. After the strength of two sons, Heaven has seen fit to bless the womb of Her Imperial Majesty with another jewel, a daughter, healthy and whole, born beneath the watchful gaze and lull of Aenguls on the 10th of Tobias Bounty in the Year of Our Lord two-thousand and thirty-three. 

 

Let all the realm rejoice once more for she shall be the first, of many, to be born in the purple, the first Horen born in so many generations lost. Let all the realm rise in joyful chorus. Let the bells of every city and steeple ring aloud in celebration. Let the banners of every noble house unfurl the colors of our beloved Burgundy. Let the fountains pour sweet wine, and the streets be filled with song and celebration. For on this day We not only announce the birth of a child, but the birth of an Imperial Princess who shall lead and light the way for all the daughters of the realm to follow.

 

On this day, the thirteenth of Owyn’s Flame, in the Year of Our Lord two-thousand and thirty-four, we happily announce unto all the land the birth and confirmation of the first daughter of the Imperium:

 

HER IMPERIAL HIGHNESS, Marcella Antonella Horen, Imperial Princess, Duchess of Lorraine.

WE INVITE THE REALM to bear witness to the Christening of our first and only daughter, to be held in the sacred Chapel of the Burgundian Palace. Underneath her vaulted ceilings shall the babe be blessed and anointed before Heaven and Empire. Once the Christening concludes, we shall hold an evening of revelry in her honor, where the lords and ladies of the Imperium might join Their Imperial Majesties to shower gifts and blessings upon the new babe, the first daughter of the Imperium, Her Imperial Highness, Marcella Antonella Horen.

 

LONG LIVE THE HOUSE OF HOREN!
