CALL FOR PENANCE

[LordofCabbage 559]

APOSTOLIC LETTER OF THE SEE AT LEMONSHIRE

 

PENNED BY THE HIGH PONTIFF BERNARD II

FOR THE DEFENSE OF THE TRADITION OF OWYN

FOR THE REDEMPTION OF THE SOUL

 

 

High Priest of the Temple of the True Faith, Successor of Clement and Evaristus, High Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Servant of the Servants of Heaven, Servant of the Holy Flame, Apostle of Saint Lucien, Envoy of Aeldin, High Servant to the Prophet’s Testaments, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD does decree…

 

That the Seneschal Hadrian son of Tiberias of the House of Horen must subject himself to penance administered by the High Pontiff or face the penalty of EXCOMMUNICATION and thus the loss of his MANDATE to RULE.

Hadrian son of Tiberias is called unto repent for the following crimes;

 

• When Father Florian rebuked the unlawfulness of Zeno whom was violating our direct command and otherwise being clearly in violation of the CITRINE CREED. (This man known as Zeno is henceforth DEFROCKED and EXCOMMUNICATED thus rendering his ordination into the PRIESTHOOD of OUR MOTHER CHURCH by Godfrey null and void.) Hadrian began to beat Father Florian bloody and bid his retainers to do the same alongside him in a violent concert.
• For putting Father Anselm unto death; which no matter the cause he has no lawful bidding to do without the leave of the Church. Especially not in this case, when it was merely done at his whim due to the imbalance of his four humours.

 

For these grave violations of the SANCTITY of the PRIESTHOOD you are called forth recant of your sin. Failure to do so will incur in your immediate EXCOMMUNICATION and declaration as ANATHEMA; The loss of your MANDATE to RULE; the MANDATE of HEAVEN; for the LORD GOD does not take lightly violations of the laws of heaven and most importantly of all you place the salvation of your IMMORTAL SOUL at PERIL. Subject yourself to this penance and restore your four humours to balance.

 

We shall conclude this simple decree that cuts to the point of the matter with a saying from a brave man of yore; I will say a prayer for all men who do their duty according to their lights.

Sir Owyn bathed in the blood of Father Anselm, proud of the murder.

Duncan Baruch, Father Zeno's patron, laughed.

Joan Mariana is in the middle of a necromancer lair when this is told to her. She ponders on the issue, and accidentally gives out their hidden position by laughing out loud. She is promptly smacked on the head for her misdeeds.

The Holy Empress of Man read the apostolic missive as it was laid upon the long table before her. As her gaze scanned across "EXCOMMUNICATION" and "MANDATE to RULE", she let out a cackle.

 

"The little gnome threatens the mandate of The Seven Skies as if it his to dispense. An Imp upon a borrowed chair presumes to command Man. Let it be known he shall not. Glory unto Canondom, and hellfire unto the True Faith."

Valentina doubled over; she rolled on the floor, unable to draw breath. Tears streamed down her face, gasps escaping her. As the Maids of the Celosian palace examined the situation, they found that she was laughing.

“For such a…. little man to believe he has authority to speak on behalf of GOD?” Constantina laughed to herself, “Goodness, doesn’t he know how this will end? The Lord decided His Imperial Majesty would rule from his birth. And our good Emperor will lead the true, full men to victory.”

[Morphine 823]

Siegfried gave a hearty chuckle at the missive before continuing to read his other parchments of mail.

[CheekyNolan 5420]

Duncan Baruch, the younger one, spluttered on his porridge when an abrupt laugh erupted from him. 

[Ramon 5186]

"Were it that this Church had any semblance of legitimacy and spiritual authority, then assuredly, this would have been most grievous,"

Hummed one Sir Rudolf Barclay within the privacy of his own home, rambling to himself, as he was prone to on occasion,

"Though thankfully it has neither. Though I s'ppose tis up to the Chief of Chiefs whether or not he means to indulge in this all the same."

His final thoughts on the matter - before returning to his duties - at least a little bit more neutral.

"Eh, false faith or no, at least the Halfling has conviction. He deserves that acknowledgement, at the least."

[Sarven 2619]

Theodemar lofted a great brow as he read the parchment, "Eh.. who? is this?"

The Reinmaren Herald rubbed his brow with greater intensity

"No but really who is this?"

"Who claims to have the authority to excommunicate the greatest uniters of man in centuries?"

Sir Antonius, the one who ordered Father Anselm's death, let a low chuckle escape him at what he heard.

[MunaZaldrizoti 8037]

"There is greater glory in GOD's light than seeking the guidance of flame," The Baroness of Owynsburg murmured from the privacy of her study, as she heard word of this foolish bidding made by that so-called halfling High Priest.

Surion Arthalion shook his head. "Why did this priest come to Idunia and spit before my brother whilst acting representative of the Imperium? Why is the incident now being reflected in this manner? Is this some sort of premeditated political maneuver?" He muttered so privately, bereft of trust in that particular institution.

 

Maximilian Caius Horen laughed. "Do not squander my brother's fealty, to which you so desperately cling."

[Pegleg_Bob 1107]

Jack Ivan Bo Rostova sits within his camp, glancing around at his fellow Ravens. He lets out a laugh. “Who would dare excommunicate Holy Hadrian, blessed by God Himself? Ea pray the Church soon realizes their mistake, for Hadrian did nothing wrong.”
