THE VERDRGRAD HEARTHSMOOT

Issued by High Keeper Sissel Freysdóttir av Ruric, on the 11th  of SÓLSMÁNAÐR, IAÁ 587, AGE OF DRAGONSFYRE

 

 

PREAMBLE

Long has it been known that the faith has endured a turbulent age, weathering trial and tribulation to ensure its braziers remain burning. The Hearthmoot of Verdegrad has now concluded, and with its end begins the long work of regrowth. What was once fractured has been drawn together again, though none among us deny the cracks that still run through our foundation, nor the devastation of the loss of High Keeper Ellenore Eiriksdóttir. The people shared a collective melancholy as they mourned the loss of their esteemed leader. And in such loss, whoever should take the seat of High Keeper would face the daunting prospect of living up to her great renown.

 

AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF THE FATHER,

as by the Will of the Hearth Council,

henceforth as of this day, the 5th of Edvardsawnd, Inn Askr Ar 587, Keeper Sissel’s appointment shall now hereby style her High Keeper Sissel Freysdóttir av Ruric of the Flame Imperishable.

 

APPOINTMENT OF HIGH KEEPER

The path of the newly consecrated High Keeper is one of arduous stewardship, where the living Flame of the Allfather must be guarded with unwavering vigilance in a time of growing shadow. The clergy stands as a single, bound unit, dedicated to mending the visible fractures within the foundation of the faith and the temporal realm. Their purpose is to navigate the tempestuous currents of a post-Hearthsmoot world by reconciling ancient statutes with present necessities, ensuring the old wisdom is neither lost to dejection nor corrupted by the external darkness that long plagues. From nurturing the young and guiding the leader to chronicling the deeds of the forgotten, the unified intention is clear: to see the great renown of their predecessors upheld, the tribe made whole, and the sacred fire burning fiercely against encroaching Etir.

The assembled Keepers stand with a purpose of unified resolve. The sacred flame and the segment of the All-Father’s truth and spirit of Norland itself shall not falter. It shall be protected by steel, by sacrifice, and by a stringent hand. The Keepers pledge that this divine charge will be defended no matter what the cost - be it life or limb.

Comprehend this verity: Irrespective of circumstance or trial, the divine luminance of the Allfather’s spirit shall forever persist, an Inextinguishable and Eternal Flame

 

AND SO IT SHALL BE, BY THE WILL OF OUR ALLFATHER,

HER EMINENCE, Sissel Freysdóttir av Ruric,

Master of the Order of the First Flame, High Keeper of the Red Faith & the Flame Imperishable

 

Luminary, Mimir Beskytte yr Vjardengrad

Keeper of the Red Faith & the Flame Imperishable

[Calise11 841]

Somewhere within the depths of the Hearth Temple, High Keeper Sissel was sifting through the long-standing documents of the late High Keeper Ellenore.
“Oh dear…I had no clue you were... this...chaotic,” she muttered as she surveyed the carnage, stacks of parchments, papers, scrolls, and binders. Disorder. Everywhere… Evidently. There was much work to be done. . .

The man, amidst his brief respite amidst Malchediaels halls, casted his gaze down, and against the happenings where he could, and from it did a smile settle against a visage unmarred, and a mind unfogged.

"You will do well, as you always have, Madel."
Albeit they were words she could not hear, and a gaze she could not feel.

He hoped, that mask of his would bring her solace, whenever she opted to hold it.

 

"I am proud of you."
