Holy Ser Barend De Ruyter reads over the invitation, seeming rather disgruntled at the fact the wedding is held in a city-state that does not only openly permit pagan religions but centers around one. "What in GODs name! They do not even have a Holy Church! How can a CANONIST wedding be in a pagan-state!" The Knight shook his head fervently, placing the invitation on his desk. He'd certainly have quarrels with attending a wedding not held in a church.

Holy Ser Barend De Ruyter sits knelt before an altar in the great cathedral of the Holy See, Praying to GOD. Rising from his knelt prayer as he finished up, Nodding gently. "Mortuus est Pontifex, Salve Pontifex! Salve Pontifex Fleeperus primus!" He draws Lorraine over his chest with respect to the passing of Deunoro I and wishes for the good health of Fleeperus. "Mazel Tov!"

Holy Ser Barend De Ruyter read over the missive, appearing slightly disgruntled at the notion of Holy Knights marrying. Alas that feeling faded quick as it came as he loved Lug as his own kin. "GOD bless this union with hapiness and love."

Holy Ser Barend De Ruyter, though the good Dames superior most of the time he knew her had grown to appreciate her, Despite the disagreeing he did upon her behavior at times he had grown somewhat attached to her... The way Helena brought the stout and duty certain Ser to a ground level. He was sure to miss that... With a prayer at the cross the Knight rose, drawing the Lorraine "Ye be in GODs Kingdom now."

Lo' There he stood, Holy Ser Barend De Ruyter, A Subject to King John? A Friend? He could never truly tell, However despite his uncertain relation with the good man Barend always held great respect for him. Sinking through his knees before the Lorraine cross in a nearby cathedral "Blessed be the LORD who teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight. My Goodness, And my Fortress; My high tower, and my deliverer; My shield, and he in whom i trust; He who subdueth my people under me... I beg ye, Deliver Aaun with a Monarch as GODly and pious as John."

Dravil 'The Bold' Ireheart gazes at the declaration of the Clergy. His eyes scanned the paper thrice over... Once for every call of damnation. A mighty frown spawned on his visage thereafter as he sighed deeply "Woot 'ave ye doneh Baldr..."

THE TRIALS OF HONOUR Preamble; I, Al-Uk Elder of Clan Yar, Voice of the Spirits, officially claim the title of Krimpgoth. Intendant on rooting out the Orcish souls trapped within Lesser husks I will stop at nothing to burn out the lesser blood in our Honorbound lands. I will go over mountains of Elven, Dwarven, and Human corpses to discover those select few who harbor the Soul of a Child of Krug. To achieve this those seeking to join the honor-bound people will have to beset themselves upon a trial walk. All Honoraries of yore are hereby recalled to the Lands of the Iron Horde to be either reaffirmed in their title or be demoted back to the name of Lesser. The Trial of Rebirth; Under the Faith of Ublulhar, the Spirit of New-Beginning and Rebirth, Honoraries to be are to surrender everything they once called their own, Sacrificing it to a shrine of their true father, Krug, Only when all ties to their former lives have been severed may a Lesser-Husk begin their transformation into a true Uruk-Hai. The Trial of Time; The next step will be to spend time with the Orcs within the capital for at least 4 years. This step ensures the descendant on the path understands the culture and gets to know his or her soon-to-be brethren. The descendant will not be seen as an honorary but as a guest. They will be respected by the Orcs as a guest during their stay. During these 12 weeks, the one on the path is expected to follow the culture of the Orcs, yet still need the permission to speak blah. The Trial of Wisdom; After having surrendered their former lives to the grace and mercy of the true sons and daughters of Krug the to-be Honorary will have to deepen themselves into the realm of the Spirits, The immortal deities the Orcish people follow and revere. Be this The Ancestral, Immortal or Elemental spirits matters not. To Complete this Trial the trial-walker must elect a patron-spirit, Visit their realm, and be able to educate people on them. The Trial of Might; After the Spiritual awakening of the Trial Walker comes the final trial, To truly be reborn a battle between two Honoraries will be held, One that will honor the ‘Might Makes Right’ culture the Urukhim have followed throughout the centuries. The Victor of this fight will be officially recognized as an honorary and a feast in their Honour will be held to celebrate the occasion where the now Honorary will take an oath before the then-ruling Rex of the Iron Horde. Swearing loyalty to their true father, Krug. The Loser of the battle shall have to retreat and lick their wounds, 2 descendant weeks will be added onto their time as trial-walkers till they may again re-try their final trial to join the ranks of the Honorary. Terms to remain an Honorary Now a respected Citizen of the Iron Horde, The Honoraries are expected to follow the Laws, Codes, and Culture of Orcs. With that comes a strongly enforced set of rules lest the honorary risks whitewashing and the revoking of their place amongst the Sons and Daughters of Krug. AZH An Honorary is expected to live within the Capital lands of the Iron Horde, And with that amongst their true Brothers and Sisters, Alternatively, an Honorary is permitted to live amongst the people of one of its vassals. When an Honorary fails to do so they shall be declared whitewashed and hunted down by command of the Krimpgoth. DUB The Station of Honorary remains in effect for 5 Skygod months, after that an Honorary may elect to denounce it and return to the realm of the lesser. If one opts to go this path they may never again return to the Path of the True Urukim. Forever perceived as a Lesser spawn to the Rexdom. Should they elect to remain amongst their true Brothers and Sisters they shall have to reaffirm their oath to the then-ruling Rex to prolong their honorary ship for another 5 descendant months GAHK Honoraries are expected to follow the Orcish culture, and with that maintain the religious faith of the Spiritualist. Doing their utmost best to uphold the tenants of their elected patron spirit, Be they Ancestral, Immortal, or Elemental. The Codes of Krug are expected to be upheld above all else, If one’s patron spirit evokes dishonorable acts an honorary is expected to denounce this tenant and uphold their true father's will at all times. FUTH The living with, accepting of, Or utilizing of people and arts of the Bûrz is strictly prohibited. Any honorary caught in possession, or magically attuned with any of the tools of Iblees will be immediately stripped from their status and declared whitewash. Such a declaration shall go without forgiveness or chance of repentance. Any to-be honoraries who have Bûrz artifacts or magic are to denounce and remove them from their lives before they are allowed to enter the Krimpgoth’s care. Refusal of this also results in immediate expulsion and hunting down of the individual by the Krimp-Hai’s forces. ON THOSE OF THE PAST ༄ Continents move swiftly, and so does the goi. Many Orcs and honoraries alike lose their way, abandoned by their kind. If an ancient honorary appears from the desert sands, they will have to show proof of their name, clan, and previous virtues to show that they are truly of honor. It will be up to the Krimpgoth and Rex personally to allow them back within the goi. If the name is unknown and the honorary has not been lost but is living within the concrete walls of the lesser kind, their honorary title is stripped, and they must perform these trials to regain their title.

THE SAVAGE ALLIANCE Preamble; Clan Ungri and Lur at this moment reaffirm the sanctity of the blood pact between their people, Adding the Clan Vukh.

Barend De Ruyter, Holy Ser of the Order of Saint Jude brushes through his beard. Appearing entirely unsurprised at the heretical claims upon the Haensi Monarch. He drawing the Lorraine over his chest before speaking. "May GOD preserve the innocent souls under that heretics rule. And may his righteous wrath strike him into the hells."

Knight-Sergeant Barend the Ruyter, Brother of the Holy Order of Saint Jude perks a brow at the horrid allegations. Conflicted between the righteous act of erasing the vampiric presence upon the Mortal realm and the truly godless act of murdering a child yet to be born. The Holy Ser seeking out the closest church and sank through his knees before the Lorraine cross "My Lord GOD" He spoke unto the cross "How can it be that a child, yet unborn, innocent of sin, Devoid of vice has to meet such a crushing price. How can it be righteous o' GOD. I beg you, Guide me through the precipice of Darkness and deliver me unto Light... Your righteous light." With those words, the Brother of the Order rose from his kneeling state. Signing the Lorraine over his chest and leaving the Church. That much more unsure if he truly was upon the enlightened path.

A Maddened cackling came from the depths within which the Mad Shaman Al-Uk'Yar hid when serving the realm of Madness. A corrupted and disgusting cackling it was, Numerous voices emanating through the corrupted shaman as the cackling developed into a full unhinged laughter. When at last his laughter subsided the Shaman only spoke one sentence "He will be a useful tool."

Al-Uk of the Yar reads the missive, Rubbing his horn as he ponders for a moment "Azh nub'flat Borok...? Mi hopez nub."

An Ancient Shaman regarded by some as evil nods to himself, giving a faint chuckle at the artistic depiction of the Moot "Azh piti indeehd dat Zkorkon haz beehn flattud... Hiz zoul twiztud agh korruptud. Nohw onli deeh Brazen Bull remainz." The Shaman gives a curt nod, hoping most of all that the Bronzen Band would realize their mistakes before it would be too late.
