The Beginning of a New Life Recruitment of a New Generation of Priests ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ With the Permit of the High Pontiff His Holiness Owyn III Overseen by Prelate Alfred Episcopus Hernikev ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Upon entering the Basilica of St. Henrik, the beautiful scent of incense and warm air come to the fore as you step inside. After the cold air that made you decide to enter the basilica, you cross yourself three times and pray to God to warm yourself at least a little, and in the meantime, the priest comes out of the nearby room. Holding the books of prayers in his hand, you see him walking towards the altar quickly. You think he may be busy, but you still decide to head for the altar. Approaching the altar slowly, you see him turning towards you. You expect the reaction to be a little strange, but on the contrary - his aged face comes to the fore with the warm smile he offers you. "Brother, approach me." Having said that, the priest approaches you with one step, waiting for you to ascend the altar. Slowly approaching the priest, you bow to him with a small smile. Without saying anything, he leads you to the room he was in before, carrying his books in his left hand as he walks slowly toward one of the rooms on the upper floor of the Basilica. Upon entering the room, he offers you a chair and a glass of wine, which satisfies you very much. You both sit down while you wait for him to start talking. You take a glass of wine, the aroma of red grapes passes through your throat, which in a way refreshes you. Finally, you see the priest leaving his glass on the table, starting with the conversation as he holds one document in his hands. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ “Good to see you here on this day, brother. We shall begin quite simply. What is your name?” {Answer} “How old are you?” {Answer} “This question is obvious, but it is for the sake of these records. What race of the descendants are you of?” {Answer} “You are able to read and write, am I right?” {Answer} “And with that, I hope you are familiar with the Holy Scrolls and Catechism of our Church?” {Answer} “You are of course baptized?” {Answer} “Good, good. Are you married? Do you have children?” {Answer} “In what way of the clergy do you wish to serve? As a Priest, or a Monastic?” {Answer} “This really depends on the needs of the Church, but in what Diocese would you prefer to serve in? You can simply name a city or Kingdom.” {Answer} “A rather personal question, why have you chosen to walk this path in God?” {Answer} “And lastly, are you truly devoted to this way of life? Prepared to take any vows involved with ordination and commit oneself to this lifetime bond with the Lord Almighty?” {Answer} “Wonderful ! I think we are finished here, dear brother.” he says as he gestures you out of the room with a smirk, “This shall be brought to Bishop Alfred in no time. You shall hear word of your acceptance and placement soon enough.” he nods before saying finally, “God bless you.” as you walk out and say so in return. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ With that, you depart from the Basilica, awaiting the letter from the Prelate which states your acceptance and diocean assignment. As you leave, you decide to go to the Old Stout Crow tavern, the fine smell of the Carrion Black and delicious Haeseni pancakes making you spend your minas quite quickly.. but you also remember that you respect God, so you decide to go home. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ -OOC- Write the responds whenever you want, if you want this kind of a roleplay. I will try to review the messages almost every day. I hope that people understand that the holidays are over, which means that school and various obligations are coming back again. If you have any questions, contact me in the easiest way, via discord - repl1ca#4970. Thanks for signing up and enjoy! Thanks to @GoldWolfGaming for the format !

Bishop Alfred praises and thanks Bl. Seraphim for miraculously saving the High Pontiff Owyn III, signing a Hussariyan cross.

"Here we go..It will be quite a long way to bring the Ruskan Rite officialy to the haeseni folk, but it will surely be worth doing it." Bishop Alfred exclaims with a surprised smile, tapping the ashes into the ashtray as he talks with Archbishop Benedict, observing the Bull document.

"Helping the community, on a cheap way ! God bless !" Bishop Alfred exclaims with a grin, praying for the faithful people of Haense.

"Brother Manfried really knows how to write a proper thesis.. God bless !" Bishop Alfred exclaims with a smirk, signingn a Hussariyan cross though still being at the half of the thesis !

Bishop Alfred briefly reads the Bull, quite wearly because of the small sickness but still with a warm smile "The first Golden Bull of Jorenus ! Happy to see our Holy Mother Church progressing, slowly but efficiently.. Godani jest wielki."

After recovering from a fatal illness, it was time for Bishop Alfred to return to a normal course of life. It hadn’t been long since his last interaction with the church-related drama, so that wasn’t the case now either. The letter reached him, and as soon as he saw it, he knew it very well. "Godani jest wielki .." he first said after reading the text, sitting down on a nearby armchair "Und throughout history, our people have been great und powerful. Words of praise from His Holiness have encouraged me much, so much that ich am proud of mein origin, and he must have left the same impression on others, ich am sure of it as long as faith flows through my veins.. " the aged bishop said with a wearly smile, rising to look at the city from the balcony of the bishop's room, now with a more serious face upon facing the sky. "The schismatics will pay ... but we will nicht be the ones to decide their final fate. God's court will be the final court und only He will be able to punish them fur their sins, and we ... it is up to us to make sure they do nicht sin again, which we will do..ich am sure of that as long as God ist with us. " Having said this, Alfred crossed himself calmly before leaving the room, with various thoughts wandering in his head .. "Stay strong, Your Holiness - Godani jest wielki."

BISHOPRIC RESPONSE TO All Canonist people and faithful clergymen on the recent events Karosgrad, 355 ES Following the events that took place these days, after the proclamation of His Holiness Owyn III as High Pontiff, many disagreements and discomforts were found among the people, both among the people and among the church officials. Through this letter, I would like to point out and also to confirm the official decision of the Bishopric of Henrikev, as well as the Haeseni clergy on the schism that has occurred during these days. In recent days, His Holiness James II has left us, leaving a hole that has befallen all the clergy, as well as the Canon people. Shortly after the sad day for all the people of Almaris, His Holiness Owyn III was elected the new High Pontiff, which, as we see, created undesirable and incomprehensible reactions among the clergy. Many places, with the coronation of the High Pontiff, received gracious gifts, the creation of new dioceses and appointment of the hard working people, however, some of them were also affected by the removal of several people. This information is not something that should provoke violent reactions from the clergy and various people, from any nation in the world. With the arrival of the new High Pontiff at the head of the church, His Holiness has every right to equally, and in his personal and professional opinion, remove or promote whom he thinks he should. However, something has happened that can destroy our Holy Mother Church even more. Opinions can be presented in a nice way, various facts can be presented with appropriate information, but schism in this current situation is what our Church can suffer from, and no believer in God would want that to happen. His Eminence Cyril Cardinal St. Publius, together with Father Dima Carrion, as we can all see, were until one moment our dear clergymen, doing the work as the Lord commands. The schism in which they got involved portrayed them, in these difficult days, as those people who are not for the people, for the Church, for Godan. We follow Godan, so this letter does not contain any threat, only the views expressed, as well as the main decision that will be valid until further notice. Through this letter, on this day, I , Alfred Episcopus Henrikev, together with the Haeseni Clergy, publicly state that we do not support the claim of Cyril Cardinal St. Publius and Father Dima Carrion, also of their possible unknown backers, nor will we be part of any such act, an attempt to weaken our Holy Mother Church, which is totally inadmissible. We stand firmly behind the High Pontificate of Owyn III in their efforts to decimate this attempted schism, and prosecute those involved. GODANI JEST WIELKI Alfred Episcopus Henrikev, Bishop of Henrikev and the Prelate of the Clergy

Hearing the news of the death of High Pontiff James II, Alfred's thoughts wandered. They wandered into the past, where everything was simpler, better, and more beautiful. The former warrior had known about the main icon of the Church since his war days were over, and he had known his Holiness even more since he had embarked on church waters. After reading the official obituary, because he did not want to believe in his death in any other way, his face turned pale. That news was too much for him, because he knows that High Pontiff was on very good terms with his family. " God..Oh God, does the news have to mentally end a man ..? Such unexpected information, that God forgives my sins. His Holiness..was an icon and figure that we, all believers, should have in mind, all his deeds gave us a fine example of how we, as humans should think and act .. What more can I say .. " Father Alfred signs a Hussariyan cross, praying for the late High Pontiff James II. " God bless you, Your Holiness .. It was an honor to know you and share the faith with you. "

"Mein answer ist.. Ja." Father Alfred Barclay nods firmly, his hands clasped together behind him as he finished reading the document briefly once again.

Father Alfred , now a former warrior with much experience, looks at Father Pius' work with a smile and attention, leafing through the pages of the book he received as a copy of "Impeccable ... any person, whether a soldier or nicht, should reward himself with a copy like this. To be honest, ich didn't expect anything less from a man like this, who knows how to surprise with his unpredictable thoughts und interesting deeds.." the elderly priest says, caressing his son with a smile as he shows him a book worth reading.

DUKE ERWIN OF REINMAR ERWIN KONRAD VAR WILHEIM BARKLEI CONRADE ERWIN FILIUS WILHEIM BARCLAII [!] A portrait of Erwin Barclay, circa. 1769 @Miniguy15736 PREFACE. As we move more through the world, so do times and people change. This study was written as a sign of respect and merit, for one of the most respected Lord Marshals. Through this book, people will be able to understand a period of hard work and real investment for the benefit of the Kingdom, the people and the military. About the people who have beautified and improved our lives, we need to remember more often, especially in these difficult times. To be honest, what we, the scribes, are writing, is what will remain forever. Through this book we can look back at some very important endeavors of one man, which reversed the course of various lives. Not to go any further, embark on a book about one of the most important Lord Marshalls and the first Duke of Reinmar, his life and the end of a long military involvement. Sir Alfred Barclay Karosgrad, 354 ES CHILDHOOD. Young Barclay was born in 1729, in the town of New Reza. The Barony of Freising celebrated the birth of the future Duke, though without knowing that he would become the one. His parents, Wilheim and Marcella were always there, for him and for his sister Klara. They were inseparable, always running around the keep, like any other happy child. But as young Erwin grew into his teens, he seemed to have the will to make something grand and worthy out of his life, as his father Wilheim noticed on time. The two spent their days discussing about being a real soldier worth living for the kingdom, where Wilheim also taught him swordsmanship, as well as the importance of the kingdom and its structure and diplomacy. Day by day, young Barclay was no longer so young. There came a time of service in the army, where as a responsible young man he enlisted, continuing the military tradition of his family. He was perhaps a nobleman, but he was still taught to remain humble and honest with others, making him beloved among his men and ready for his further continuation of his life, soon as Lord Marshal and the first Duke, for a very long time. ~ MARRIAGE & FAMILY LIFE. During his adulthood, and still, Erwin had the full support of his family, which was fair and honest, plus with a lot of effort he managed to achieve what he has today. There were many moments where young Barclay was the head of reason among the family, making him one of the more influential members of the family. [!] A painting of Kamila Barclay, circa 1754 In those old days, Erwin, although still a child, attracted the attention of a girl and later his wife, Kamila. The two would go on various adventures all day, pretending to be knights and soldiers. He would encourage her to become a Dame one day, and she did the same, just encouraging him to be Lord Marshal - two things the two wanted the most, which later became true. Their children's game later turned into a love affair, and after a few years they got married in the Basilica of the Fifty Virgins, located in New Reza. ~ LIFE. The beginning of the young Barclay's military career was extremely turbulent. His father served the kingdom as Lord Marshal, until one day an argument arose between him and the then Lord Palatine, Markus Kortrevich. This resulted in the dismissal of his father due to disagreements and quarrels with the Lord Palatine. Erwin found this a little harder - watching his father, a person who had taught him many important things in life, get fired, and he had no idea what to do. As things began to unfold from that cruel day, it increasingly seemed as if the army was weakening and beginning to disintegrate. That same army began to disintegrate in which Erwin himself was. Something had to be done, it was obvious to everyone. With the arrival of King Andrew IV on the throne, new times began to be born. Erwin excelled in the military, showing responsibility and a willingness to work more and more. Everything went well until an even better thing came up, and that was the day King Andrew IV proclaimed Erwin Barclay the new Lord Marshal. From that day, a well known tradition continued for Barclays, to become dedicated soldiers and protectors of the Kingdom. The new advancement of young Barclay, it may be said, brought much novelty and freshness to the army and to the Kingdom itself. Erwin saw that the military needed to be taught the history of their nation, the cultural standard of Haeseni militarism and Biharism that people before them had used and been proud of, and the techniques that would serve to defend the Kingdom only in the best possible way. What Erwin Barclay achieved, few could - he recommended and introduced a system of oathing, which every new soldier must take to become a true member of the army, a true brother to other soldiers, as well as a man who is ready to stand by his people and his Kingdom. In the later period, he introduced much more frequent patrols and more efficient trainings, which later paid off twice as expected. Erwin's success in improving the military and establishing entirely new ways of working and training did not go unrewarded. Reinmar was County from 1751, until Emperor Peter III sent a letter directly to Erwin Barclay in 1765. That day, Erwin Barclay became the first Duke of Reinmar at the behest of King Sigismund II, who has recognised the Young Count’s family as worthy subjects. Time passed, and the days were getting better for the army led by Erwin Barclay. However, the life of a Lord Marshal couldn’t pass without a skirmish or a struggle, and so it didn’t for Erwin. The beginning of the AIS war, in 1740, did what war always does to man. Mass collection of materials for weapons and equipment began, and numerous trainings were held, albeit at the very beginning of the war. Defeats followed, as did victories in various battles, but the battle in which Erwin left a great impression on later events after the war happened just in time. The Rubern War was one of the major wars in which Lord Marshal faced great threats and losses. But, at the end of the long AIS war, the moment came where the Ruberni lands were annexed under the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, Erwin Barclay and his army being the people who brought that to the success. During one of the bloodiest sieges of the Kingdom of Haense, Erwin presided over one of the deadliest conflicts in Haense history. The siege of the Scyfling forces went on day after day, the enemy getting closer and closer to the walls of New Reza, and the army led by the experienced Barclay was moving further and further away from victory. Many people died, from nobles, adults to children and innocents. Nevertheless, the morale that the army received from Lord Marshal was one of the reasons for striving for victory, which in the end paid off. The last day of the war resulted in a peace treaty signed by both warring parties, allowing the remaining Scyfling people to settle on Haense land. ~ RESIGNATION. Decades of service as one of the best and most respected Lord Marshals, Erwin is tired, and it is an indisputable fact that his years have come. The Barclay resigned, and left behind a great influence on the army and all the people of the Kingdom. His titles were inherited by his firstborn son, Manfred Barclay, who also took on the military that Erwin managed to improve from the core with his own hands and hard work over several decades, becoming the next Lord Marshal and the second Duke of Reinmar. Published by Baruch & Kortrevich Publishing Written by Sir Alfred Barclay

Alfred Barclay, reviewing the books to be placed on the empty shelves of the library, comes to this work "Naumariav guide- Ich went through this book several times..Ich should once again, also recommend to the family .." The priest laughed pleasantly, putting the book in now a fuller shelf.

"The chaplains are what we need !" Father Alfred says with a chuckle, nodding happily at the poster.

Father Alfred smirks as he reads the poster "Ich love halfings, ich must go."

With a warmth around his heart, Bjornolf welcomes his best friend and brother with wide arms. "Ivan, old bull, come here! It's been a long time since our last sighting, from now on we're here for each other. Your time is not over yet.." On that day, the priest spent a very ordinary day, full of obligations and work. After a parade that took place in the capital, Alfred and his friend, the holy knight Theophilos, decided to walk around the walls, admiring the nature that surrounds them. However, the noise nearby disturbed them, so they decided to go and investigate the situation. And they had something to see, in fact. Many faces known to them were in sight, also with the same or a relatively small number of unknown and dangerous faces, and what was worst - Ser Ivan with a knife around his throat. They had no choice but to take the sword in their hands and go down the valley to help at least a little. There the priest saw his knight friend quite calm and composed, although he was in a life-threatening situation. Minutes passed by, and the moment the candle in Ivan went off - uttering the last words of the oath, he managed to push away the already attacked enemy, but in the end, without any major help. At that moment, Ivan's life ticked its last lap. Both were killed that day, but what hurt Alfred the most was that no one had a chance to try to save Ivan's life. "Rest with God, honorable knight." Alfred said, saying a short prayer for the salvation of John's soul. This moment will remain etched in Alfred's memory, because it was the day when, after a long time, he saw another death from another of his dearest people and brothers. They spent a lot of time together, learning together how to handle a sword and a bow, but again, they didn’t have that kind of family connection. Nikolaus, best known as Niko, did not take the news of his father Ivan's death well. He stumbled into the house where he lived in Karosgrad, cursing the day he left his family to learn other things and educate himself, leaving his loved ones behind. With tears in his eyes, he hugged his son tightly, addressing him in a shaky and sad way: "Igor..go never act like me..go never leave your family, because you never know what can happen to them, if you are not there for them and with them .. " Nikolaus said to his son, letting him out of his arms to go to the balcony of the house. Ivan, although not a perfect father, will still remain in his heart and, in a way, only with the best memories.

"Beautiful.. This strenght can't be found nowhere except here, in Iron Accord!" The former warrior smirks, rubbing his beard as he pats his cousin Brandt with a grin.

Father Alfred of Karosgrad reveals the letter, offering a smile after he finishes reading it. He takes his golden feather and ink sac, starting to write a response: "Dear Brother Pius, through this wonderful, and very pleasant letter, you have shown me some things that I realized late. However, there will always be disagreements on topics such as love, and the like. No matter what meeting we have, no matter how successful and long it may be, there will always be some contradictory views, but we should not pay attention to that. I am glad that you have read this thesis in its entirety and that you have given your critique. With this, I hereby invite you to visit us in Karosgrad, to discuss some topics and spend our time while we still can. Godspeed and farewell, Father Alfred." He closes the letter, offering a chuckle at his last sentence.

A Thesis on Love ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Maybe a few months ago, I attended the consecration of Karosgrad and the consecration of the Basilica of the Ascent of Ex. Godfrey. Truly beautiful events to remember forever. However, the Eminence, also my friends, Cardinal Manfried and Bishop Benedict, touched on a very interesting, at the same time extensive topic of love. Both times, a strange thought passed through me, which quietly whispered to me to ask myself a little, what love really is. To be honest, I did not give any concrete answer to the questions asked by the Eminence, which after the event in Providence made me think more deeply about this topic, which can be talked about reasonably. GOD with his companion of Humble servants, looking at the world And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. The sentence that I will always say to anyone who is worried about love. Starting to talk about love is similar to painting, or for example writing a composition or a song, there are so many ideas on the subject but again, how to start is a question. Love is a beautiful and pleasant feeling that is present in everyone's life. As long as a person lives, he feels the need to love and be loved, because without love his life would be empty and completely worthless. There is no person without at least a speck of love in his heart, otherwise, it is not a human being. The moment where love reached its climax We usually love people who are close to us and who surround us, but that is not the only kind of love we can feel. There are other kinds of love that move us and fill our life. There is love for the homeland, our city and homeland, and many more. The person carries each of these loves deep inside and does not allow anyone to endanger them. But, as beautiful as love may seem, we must remember that love is not always so sweet and beautiful. Gospel 1:43,44: ‘43 The first man held GOD with great fear and marvel, and did as he was bid, and rose to the Sixth Sky beneath the throne of the Lord. ‘44 But the first woman loved her children even greater than GOD, and would not leave. The first woman, a caring mother, did not want to leave her children, her four sons whom she loved more than God, and this angered God. After the fatal decision of the first woman, God showed her all the imperfections in her sons, which made her cry rivers of tears and mourn. She wept because she saw that in fact all things were imperfect before God, forcing her to follow the first man and ascend to the Sixth Sky. It is natural for the mother to act as the first wife did. Motherly love is, in addition to God's love, the greatest treasure of this world that one can possess, and that is why it should be admired and guarded from various evils. We have touched the beautiful side of love, which, thanks to God and his works, circulates through us all our lives. I mentioned God, who is responsible for us, for our successes and our endeavors, as well as the love we possess and from which we are happy and positive. Virtue 1:5,6: ‘5 And I have also breathed life into your heart, and the hearts of your children. ‘6 But the first woman loved her children even greater than GOD, and would not leave. Does God expect progress from us? Of course. But we are His children and He loves us all equally. I saw a father who had a little crazy son. The boy had a runny nose and he constantly wiped it with his sleeves, but his father hugged him, kissed and caressed him like other children. Thus, God, as the Good Father, loves not only His good children, but also those who are spiritually weak, because of which, of course, he suffers, but he is even more interested in them. No one can even comprehend how much God loves man! His love cannot be compared to anything! She is immeasurable, there are no limits! It is so great that a man, if he feels even a crumb of so much of His love, cannot bear it and his clay heart melts and melts like mud, because it is clay. Although we humans on this planet cry out for love, we need to remember that God is watching us, and does not want to see us grieve over one foolishness. His love passes through us, his fire of love flows through our veins and burns in our hearts, making us his beloved sons. Although we humans on this planet cry out for love, we need to remember that God is watching us, and does not want to see us grieve over one foolishness. His love passes through us, his fire of love flows through our veins and burns in our hearts, making us his beloved sons. In the most difficult and beautiful times, it is the love of God that warms us, it is the one that pushes us forward even when we are at the full bottom of the pit, and it is the one that tells us that before God we are all the same and that there is no judgment without God. With this short sentence, I just want to repeat and finish - brothers, sisters, people of this world, never forget the one who raised you when you needed it, never turn against him and against his decision, and most importantly, never to allow God’s crystal of love to cool for you, for the Lord encourages us in every new step and encourages us in every moment. - Humble Servant, Father Alfred

THE BEAUTY OF HANSETI-RUSKA Karosgrad ∣ Haense OUTLINE: I. Intro II. Content III. Short Note I. INTRO " Our landscapes connect us to our history; they are the source of our character as a people, as well as our health, our safety, and our prosperity. Natural resources enrich us economically, yes. But they also enrich us aesthetically and recreationally and culturally and spiritually. " The painter’s watercolour picture of Haeseni rural region Accompanied by God, we have settled in a new land, a new area that is unknown to all of us and will be - until this moment. What we can see around us is a dark and dense forest, with some parts covered with snow, of course until we extend even further from our warm homes and see an example of a real, harsh and cold winter. Since time immemorial, people have settled where it suits them best, either because of Mother Nature who gives them positive energy, or for greater benefits that suit them in any way. No matter how much a man gives himself at least a few moments of rest to enjoy in his environment, again we do not have enough time to look around and stare at the beauty that surrounds us. In a word - a look, just one look is enough to make your gloomy and dark face smile. The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes. II. CONTENT Whoever comes to Haense for the first time, from any part of the world, first notices the snow - a white blanket that sharply covers the little greenery that settles around the walls and rivers. Cold winters are what have been in the presence of our Kingdom since time immemorial, and frankly, people neither mind nor love it there. The road to Haense is chained with snow, with spruce trees and conifers of white branches. As one approaches the gate that divides the city and the outer region, one notices that the snow is slowly disappearing, and that the spruce trees are now getting their natural, dark green color. Of course, snow cover can be seen on some trees and fields, which really speaks to the winters of Haense. The watercolor picture of taiga-conifer mixed forest The very entrance through the gate gives a new aura, the kind that every cold region gives. Although the air is harsh and cold, this in no way prevents people from the surrounding houses from sowing what goes best with the winter. The most common things you will notice are planted in the surrounding fields and fields are potatoes, carrots and grain. The import and export of these products is what gives to the financial benefit of the Kingdom, and also to the farmers who plant and plow diligently. If you go a little deeper into the city, following the beautiful alleys you can reach the port, where all the ships of the Kingdom are anchored. The coast of the Kingdom of Haense around the harbor is not overly steep, but the other water surfaces are surrounded by steeper shores, which in a short transition turn into high hills and mountains. The steep shore near the Haeseni dry dock We mentioned the port, which means that in front of us is a large water region, which again means - the possibility of fishing. The most common type of fish is cod, which, as fishermen say, goes best with baked homemade potatoes. As the people have just moved to the new area, there are not many fishermen present, but with God's help there will be more of them in the near future, with full nets in the water. Haeseni dock, with loaded fishing cargo If we started from zero altitude, and climbed more and more along the hills, we would be surrounded by dense coniferous forests, this time without snow. The taiga biome is very present in the southern part of the Kingdom, with various berry confusions, plants that give color to the cold north, as well as rocks that have been standing there for a long time. The people in such conditions and places mostly work with trees, considering that a large part of the Kingdom is made up of forests. Sawmills are the number one place for anyone who is familiar with the field, and the craft, which is very valuable. The sawmill on the way to Karosgrad, situated at where it snows and where it is dry Places have been mentioned where the possibility of the people settling is high, while one region has already been left out. Ice glaciers, which can be seen in the valley before the main gate, are special in many ways - extremely low temperatures, fascinating shapes, as well as their beauty and natural appearance are just some of the things that make them special. It is good to mention that frozen trees stand there - without anything to make them feel at least a bit alive. No birds, no bugs, animals. It seems that winter is not something to joke with. For now, there are no life forms written here, which means that, probably, even the strongest man in this world should not, and perhaps could not, survive in such conditions. Ice Glaciers and Frozen trees can be found behind the road to Karosgrad, covered in harshly cold ice and snow III. SHORT NOTE Dear readers, this was a small introduction to the landscapes and beautiful surroundings of the Kingdom of Haense. This is a summary of everything that is important to know, when the story of one of the most beautiful places in Almaris is started - which every proud Haeseni person will confirm. I note - my first official book, maybe you could say an encyclopedia of a region, but each to his own way. This text would not have been written if I did not have a special desire and motive to write it, but fortunately, I hope you will now look back on this booklet anytime and anywhere. Let us be proud of our country, of our history, and first and foremost - of what we have, because only in this way can we move forward, without looking back at any moment. Written by: Father Alfred Barclay, priest of Karosgrad and scribe of the Queen's Council

Father Alfred smirks at the poster he is holding, feeling proud to be a part of Karosgrad in these times " We all shall pray together, as our Lord wants us to! " The priest says, showing the event poster to his close family.

I wish to see a video of james2k doing push-ups.

The Problems of Evil - Acolyte Alfred Barclay’s Short Thesis - ☨ Evil drags the sinful men from the path to the Seven Skies. ☨ Good and evil - two very different things, which are again, at the same time, part of all living beings. All of us, believers or not, have experienced some evil, or we will just experience it, which has changed us in any way, or will change us soon. Unfortunately, the harsh reality is that we are all victims of many evils in this world, in which we fight for survival with the help of our Lord, making us His humble servants. It is not worse to mention that man himself, in many situations in life, creates many evils for which he does not know the final consequences. These dishonorable deeds make us smaller in the eyes of God, making this world sinful, more and more. However, we need to know that some sinful things have led to the creation of something bigger, more powerful, and better after all. How, then, should we look at such things? Do we need to be content with good things, even though they came out of bad deeds and behavior, no matter how big or small those deeds were? Virtue 4:6,7: ‘6 For I have blessed you with My miracle of creation, and you shall draw nearer to My throne by your labors. 7 And you shall discover strength of heart as you work the forge and the plow. Looking around, we observe the world, but superficially. We look at everything around us and think it’s all there because it was predestined to be that way. If we were to ask ourselves how some things came about and what they came from, a big door of questions would open for us, but a small door would still be locked for us, of course, with all the answers. Evil wants us to spread it as much as we can, because if we know anything about life, we can understand that bad things come from evil people. What is bad and evil can never be good in the eyes of God - sentence that we all need to be aware of. If God forbids sinners from entering the Seven Skies, we immediately conclude that it is the right thing to do. We need to be smart and have common sense, because if we do not believe in our Lord, then what is our purpose? Although Evil wants to take us on the worst path, a path that has no end to that evil, we must remain strong, strong in faith and pure in heart. Virtue 5:7,8: ‘7 For I have given you the pains of the world, and I have given you their cure. 8 And you shall know the trials of this theater of virtue, and know that they shall strengthen you. Faith strengthens every man who has common sense, reason strong and significant enough to lead him on the right path, because the only right path is the path to God. Faith strengthens us day by day, making us believers and humble servants of our Lord. No matter how good and honest our Lord is, or rude and unfair to us, we, his humble servants, should always be better to him, to the one God of this world. The path of evil is a path without happiness and joy, a path without success and satisfaction, so we should avoid it at all costs. As the Lord commands us, so we do, without hesitation or giving up. Man was created to work, succeed and enjoy, but also to struggle. All of this is the creation of our God, so we need to align ourselves with the various goods of this world, before embarking on one single and right path, the path to the Seven Skies. Let us enjoy the open fields of good and happiness, rejoice as much as we can and dedicate ourselves to God as much as we can, and set aside Evil and evil thoughts and things, in chambers for which we will never look back or think of them, for so our Lord said, and so it will be. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“Very well. Gut relations are always welcomed, why nicht..” Alfred Barclay says, rubbing his beard as he looks at the Treaty, thinking about the past of the two nations.
