“Il mio dottore, a wise decision that concerns us all, after all. Aye.” Shareholder Cesare says to himself within his chambers somewhere in the south, nodding once in approval.

“GOD bless His Imperial Majesty! GOD bless His Imperial Highness! GOD bless the Empire of Man!” Cesare exclaims loudly from within his private accommodations alongside his few colleagues, clearly denouncing the current church administration in total.

“Aye.” Shareholder Cesare affirms, slamming the table twice for emphasis.

“Way to go, amico. You have yet to witness the support that you will get.”, Cesare mutters to himself, eyes flicking between his friend’s missive and the crossbow taking shape beneath his chisel.

“To think that I chatted with the Prince just a couple ora before this occurred. Dio favours his loved ones, I am certo securo.” Cesare remarks to himself, making his way back south for further business.

VOTE CESARE! Chief Steward of Anatis [!] A poster would be hung around the crowded streets of Anatis, depicting Cesare's campaign poster. "With Cesare, math will be simple. Two plus two will always equal four. Never more, never less." I. WHAT WILL I DO: Clean up ledgers: transparent numbers for all Track debts: accountability without exception Maximize revenue: every mina in its place Reward the deserving: those who bring good revenue will be honored Support those in need: temporary hardship gets help Settle accounts with wasters: those who waste time, space, and public trust will be dealt with, either lightly or severely === II. WHY ME: Trader who understands numbers. Illatian who knows commerce. Man who brings order. === III.

Cesare glances at the missive. "The way this man speaks on paper is exactly how he speaks in person. Accurato. In target. I never doubted it for a moment," he remarks to no one in particular as he prepares to meet Vidimar.

“Good that you’ve withdrew your intentions, for the Barclays will never respect the man you are forcing yourself to become. Caius the Second, you say? Stay humble! You’re not the heir to his crown, only to his shadow.“, Father Witmar remarked, after reading the missive aloud to a small crowd of his close friends and family.

Witmar said quietly to Bishop Godfrey, casting one last glance over his shoulder, "Things are in motion now, cousin. The wheel's turning, and we've got to follow where it leads. Off we go." @Ramon

Fr. Witmar glanced toward his cousin, Bishop Godfrey, hands tucked behind his back. “Something’s off in these times, cousin. I don’t know if it is the way people speak and behave today, or the way some clergy carry themselves lately… but I certainly know that these words do make sense.” @Ramon

what do yall prefer, marlboro red or lucky strike red?

“What the hell is happening in Ravenstates?” Fr. Witmar remarks.

Father Witmar lets out a hearty chuckle upon reading the missive from one of the many tents scattered across the Franklands. "Let's give this a try, heh!" + Name: Father Witmar Barclay Affiliation: Reinmar Relevant Titles or Aliases: Priest

Upon receiving the missive, its parchment warm with the scent of the south, Father Witmar furrowed his brow, reading its contents not once, but twice, as if repetition might dull the sharpness of its meaning. “Alright… ja, alright…” he murmured, voice low with a tinge of disbelief. “Hmph.” “Eh, blaming others won't mend what's been broken. At least start from your own rulers, as you have much to dig out from that bit.” he paused, glancing out the window as if searching for an answer in the dense forest. “Still… I pity the common folk. They're the ones left to carry the weight of failure.”

Server is enjoyable wym

Father Witmar prepared his stead, packing but a single bag with his work and documents. With a solemn nod to the contents of the missive, he mounted and began his journey south, toward lands where lemons grow undisturbed!

Father Witmar clicks his tongue as he reads the letter aloud, shaking his head before lowering the parchment onto the table. His cousin, Bishop Godfrey, leans in, peering over his shoulder with an amused smirk. "‘Do not let political interests cloud your theology,’ he says, " Witmar mutters, rubbing his temple. "And yet it is they who drape the cloth of faith over the bones of ambition." "If he knew me as well as he claims, he'd know I wouldn't lend my name to anything but the truth. They attacked our home. They are diminishing the vital body of our Church. Elim should know that the spirit of a Barclay is a tough one, as is his love for his homeland. But let him believe what he will. The facts remain unchanged, no matter how much incense he burns to smother them." @Ramon

Father Witmar wipes his forehead after co-writing the missive alongside Brother Matteo and Bishop Godfrey, gazing up at the sky in silent contemplation. In the midst of an already turbulent world, he hopes to stir the waters further, seeking only the triumph of the true faith. “It took us months upon months for this, brethren, but it is never too late to pursue what is right.” ”Renovatio ECCLESIAE.”

Standing before the desecrated Moot Hall in Kretzen, Father Witmar slowly removes his biretta, his gaze heavy with judgment. He had come far from the Monastery of Saint HP Caius Primus, and the sight before him spoke of choices already made. “Reinmar has chosen its side… and so have I.”

"Very well documented, brother," Father Witmar remarks to Father Wenceslas with a firm nod, inwardly approving of the missive's contents. A thought lingers—should this feeling take deeper root within him?

Prayer to Saint Caius the First: "O Saint High Pontiff Caius the First, Who paved the sacred route of Mount Saint Tylos, And stood as a shield for the faithful against the unholy, Grant us strength to walk the path of righteousness, and wisdom to uphold the virtues you championed. Amen." ☩ INTRODUCTION ☩ This informative document serves as a simple guide for anyone wishing to learn more about the work of the Society or become a full member. Inspired by the teachings, life and rule of Saint High Pontiff Caius the First, also popularly known as Saint Caius-Brandt to distinguish him from Saint Caius of the Westerlands, the Society is primarily dedicated to ensuring the proper adherence to Holy Tradition and Canon Law within the Mother Church and wider Canondom, the preservation of unity within Canondom, itself having both Owynist and Sigismundite priests, as well as the preservation of other traditional Canonist practices. Additionally, the Society is committed to training future priests, providing for monks, and championing the causes of venerables, blessed, and saints to attain recognition of holy individuals who have exemplified virtuous lives and have thus assuredly found their rightful place in the Seven Skies. ☩ STRUCTURE OF THE SOCIETY ☩ The FSSCI is a fraternal clerical religious society, welcoming primarily those of the priesthood of the One True Faith, acolytes, and proper monastics. Though also welcomes lay people as oblates, a title specifically reserved for those who wish to associate with and live according to the spiritual charism of the Society of Saint Caius the First without taking any religious vows. The Society is structured as follows: CAIETAN OBLATE Those of the laity who, while not bound by religious vows, have chosen to dedicate themselves to the Society’s way of life through service, study, and prayer, all while remaining in the secular world. They are commonly benefactors and supporters of its spiritual and communal endeavors. CAIETAN MONASTIC Those who have taken monastic vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience and have taken to living in any of the Society’s monasteries, those presently being the Monastery of Saint Caius the First in Reinmar and the Monastery of Saint Rhosyn of Casica in Petra. They are, together with those of the priesthood, those that make up an assembly known as the Society’s General Chapter. CAIETAN ACOLYTE Those that undergo rigorous spiritual and academic formation in hopes of being ordained and eventually made a priest, though, have already settled on the Society’s spiritual charism, and thus are more than likely studying under one of the Society’s priests in particular. They are allowed to attend General Chapter meetings and offer their opinions but shall have no vote. CAIETAN PRIEST Ordained members who uphold the Society’s mission through prayer, scholarship, and service, carrying out both pastoral and theological duties. They are part of an assembly known as the Society’s General Chapter, which meets at irregular intervals to help determine the Society's stance on topics of particular interest to the Church as well as to develop legislation. They are also expected to elect a Master of the Order, known as the Superior General, every twelve years. SUPERIOR GENERAL The highest-ranking member of the Society, entrusted with the spiritual and administrative oversight of the order, ensuring that its members remain steadfast in their commitment to the Society. The Superior General is elected by the Society’s General Chapter every twelve years and, from that point onward, the person charged with convening future Chapter meetings. ☩ MAIN SEAT OF THE SOCIETY ☩ The FSSCI is mainly headquartered in the Monastery of Caius, a place of physical and spiritual discipline. The monastery is situated in the Principality of Reinmar, just outside the capital city of Kretzen. This location provides both proximity to the heart of Reinmar's religious and political life and the tranquility needed for contemplation and monastic practice. The Monastery of Caius serves as the spiritual and administrative center of the Society. Within its warm halls, priests and monks dedicate themselves to prayer, study, and service, while the laity may visit to seek guidance, participate in religious life, or support the mission of the Society. The monastery houses a great library, preserving theological works and writings of Saint HP Caius I, as well as a sanctuary where the faithful gather for worship and reflection. Aside from this, the scriptorium serves as a place where our diligent brothers and sisters commit spiritual ideas to paper, ensuring that wisdom is preserved for future generations. Given the harsh climate of Reinmar, we have learned how to maintain our health and strengthen our immune systems. As a result, the monastery is largely self-sufficient, producing its homemade honey, freshly prepared meals, baked bread, and brewed drinks. Lastly, atop the monastery, the alchemy laboratory stands as a place of careful study and refinement, where only those teachings and practices aligned with Canon Law are pursued, ensuring that all knowledge serves the will of God and the betterment of the faithful. ☩ JOIN THE SOCIETY ☩ Inquiring about our Society couldn't be easier, only if one has God and faith in his heart. Should you be prepared and your heart steadfast in faith, send a raven with your petition toward either His Eminence Godfrey Cardinal Casica ( @Ramon ), Her Grace Josefina Bishop Gelimar ( @alien_mc ), or TMR Father Witmar ( @rep2k ).

“And once again, nail in the coffin. Brother, we ought to meet very soon.” Father Witmar exclaims with a firm nod, deciding to write a letter to Father Wenceslas.
