INTRODUCTION

 

The Theodosian Society, otherwise known as the Friends of St Bogdan Association, is an organisation set up to preserve, gather, and create a wealth of knowledge for the peoples of the Empire, and in particular the Raevir peoples. 

 

As time has passed and wars come and gone, the great libraries of the past, such as those within The Silver State of Haelun’or and The Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, have been scattered to the winds with no great state or family aimed towards preservation. Our society hopes to rectify this change. As our patron, St Theodosius, is the champion of messengers, we shall aim to be messengers to the past and future for Raevir. It is through this hope that we shall give further glory and wisdom to the Empire at large as we participate in the great Imperial Project for all to benefit.

 

Whilst our society is named after St Theodosius and remains primarily a society for the writings of the Raevir, we do not aim to limit ourselves narrowly. We hope to sponsor writers on a range of topics for the interwoven tapestry of the History of Man. We similarly wish to aim to copy, transcribe, and republish endangered books of importance and note.

CHIEF AIMS OF THE SOCIETY

 

Within the Theodosian society, our chief aim is the pursuit of knowledge. We wish to cultivate and support a renaissance of writing across multiple disciplines of importance to our people, such as history, theology, philosophy, and political thought. 

 

We further wish to be a group of mutual support for one another in our writings, whether within research, prose, composition, and refinement of works before they enter print. 

 

Finally, we wish the copying, transcribing, and republishing of works of excellence for the modern reader, for many traditions of the Raevir lay within oral traditions and those passed down from tribesmen that must be recorded and passed down to future generations.

Ailred gave a big fat thumbs up.

[ContestedSnow 1435]

"Now you are just needing place to drop all the books, da? You can be making bookshelf. Maybe even two shelf for books?" Vilem Radovanic noted to Ailred and Cazsmich, having let himself in the room with the two writers. He rubbed his chin sagely.
