"Barclay banner on the poster, how patriotic!", Tylos I chuckles, saving the copy of a missive he just read.

"So, is my dear BSK back ?", Veteran Tylos I wonders with great interest.

High Pontiff Tylos I smirks while going through the pages of the Treaty of Providence, "Good, good.. now, back to more important matters.", the man exclaims with a click of his tongue, conducting a letter for a particular King..

Tylos I blinks, rubbing his forehead after seeing the list of broken Canon laws.. is it true, he wonders..

PONTIFICAL LETTER CURIA AND MONASTIC APPOINTMENTS OF THE CHURCH OF THE CANON Health and Pontifical Benediction, Most Beloved Faithful. I have closely followed the developments related to our Holy Mother Church, and I am very surprised with one special result, which made me write this statement for all of you faithful Canonists. I followed the work of several people, so on this occasion I would like to announce new appointments in our Church, but all on merit of course. After a discussion with the faithful Curia, we came to the conclusion that this thing was the right thing to do, as Godan's word always helped us with every decision. It is through Our Apostolic Right, bestowed unto Us through the Laurel derived from the Exalted that We make these affirmations, alterations, and additions to the Curia. We decree these appointments… Pontifical Chamberlain, Father Basil Moroul And additionaly, It is through our Apostolic Right, bestowed unto Us through the Laurel derived from the Exalted that We make following appointment... Abbot of the Abbey of Blessed Pius & Seraphim, Father Laurenţiu Popescu-Voiteşti Et Gloria Dei, Sanctitas, Papa Tylus Primus ☩UT BENEDICAT TIBI DEUS OMNIA☩ GOD BLESS YOU ALL

"I knew they are good boys.", Tylos I exclaims, nodding once firmly in being right.

"What a splendid event to attend!" High Pontiff Tylos I cheers at the missive, going to inform the rest of the priesthood.

"Don't worry Matt-", Tylos I says to the acolyte who goes wild after a sale on orange carbonated drink from the nearby orenian store, 2 for 2 minas, "-just get the cheese, the rest will be done on its own "

Let our confidence not rest in our own understanding but in your guiding hand; let our desires not be for our own comfort, but for the joy of your kingdom; for your cross is our hope and our joy now and unto the day of eternity. O Godan, your knowledge of me exceeds what I grasp or see in any moment; you know me better than I know myself. Now, help me to trust in your mercy, to see myself in the light of your holiness, and grant me the grace that I may have true contrition, make an honest confession, and find in you forgiveness and perfect remission. O Lord support us all the day long, until the shadows lengthen and the evening come, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then, in thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amin. SECTION II It is through Our Apostolic Right, bestowed unto Us through the Laurel derived from the Exalted that We make these affirmations, alterations, and additions to the College of Cardinals. We decree these appointments… TMR, His Eminence, Fr. Gawain Cardinal Providentia TMR, His Eminence, Fr. Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus TMR, His Eminence, Fr. Ferdinand Cardinal St. Alexander TMR, His Eminence, Fr. Pelagius Cardinal Nescia TR, His Eminence, Fr. Robert Cardinal Rochefort TR, His Eminence, Fr. Adelric Cardinal Freising TR, His Eminence, Fr. Vinzant Cardinal Buron SECTION III It is through Our Apostolic Right, bestowed unto Us through the Laurel derived from the Exalted that We make these affirmations, alterations, and additions to the Curia. We decree these appointments… Vice Chancellor, His Eminence, Gawain Cardinal Providentia Ecclesiastical Auditor, The Reverend Monsignor, Fr. Johan Vuiller Prelate of the Clergy, His Eminence, Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus Pontifical Secretary, His Grace, Robert Bishop Rochefort Apostolic General, His Excellency, Armand de Rennes The Holy Mother, Her Excellency, Sister Roxelana SECTION I It is through our Apostolic Right, bestowed unto Us through the Laurel derived from the Exalted, that we reconstruct, merge and establish the following dioceses, making the organization and management of the mentioned dioceses easier for the accordingly appointed shepherds. Princely-Archdiocese of Albarosa officially splits into two new archdioceses: ARCHDIOCESE OF ALBAROSA Encompassing everything beyond the Capital City of Providence, that is within the Holy Orenian Empire, to be shepherded by Archbishop, Ferdinand Cardinal St. Alexander. ARCHDIOCESE OF NESCIA, encompassing the southern region, including the Commonwealth of Sutica & Elven Territories, to be shepherded by Pelagius Archbishop Nescia. Archdiocese of Henrikev becomes: DIOCESE OF HENRIKEV, Encompassing the entirety of the Capital City of Karosgrad, to be shepherded by Ivarus Bishop Henrikev. *Archbishop, through his Apostolic Right, may appoint a pastor to any land within the borders of his archdiocese, to perform the sacraments and fulfill his pastoral duty as the humble servant of Godan. SECTION V In the Seventh Golden Bull of Providentia, We issued a Writ of Annulment for the marriage between Mrs. Aimee Halcourt and Mr. Valent de Rosius. Shortly after the Bull was published, sad news reached Us that Mr. Valent had passed away. Mrs. Aimee, after some period of time, got married to Mr. Vladrick Ruthern, but the situation is next: before the official Sacrament of Matrimony, the two got a son, called Rhys, which characterizes him as a bastard. After some time, the pair got a daughter, now after the official Sacrament of Matrimony. After a productive talk with Mrs. Aimee and Mr. Vladrick, the two agreed on legitimizing their son Vladrick, which has made Us think about it not for a long time. It is through our Apostolic Right, together with the approval from the Synod, that We officially announce and confirm that Rhys Barrow takes up a new name which is Rhys Ruthern, making him a legitimate son of Mr. Vladrick and Mrs. Aimee, for Godan is our Lord Saviour, the man who is loved and who loves the most of us all. We are happy to announce this news, for We all should receive a virtuous gift from Godan, and to forget about the horrific past which may have been behind us all the time. SECTION VI Shortly after the meeting with King Georg I that took place a few months ago, one of the cardinals approached us with a topic on diocesan venerations, saying that venerations should not be done only by the High Pontiff. We listened carefully to his statements and after the meeting we came to a conclusion, which has not changed since last time. As it is written within the pages of the Canon Law, "The status of venerable is conferred by the High Pontiff" (Ch. 5 §2.). Following this, We want to touch on the section in the Minor Bull of Providentia, where this law was not followed by procedure. Through our Apostolic Right, We withdraw those venerations outlined in that section, but We therefore place them in this Golden Bull, meaning that the people mentioned in that section have just been venerated. SECTION VII Although We may not often show up in cities and towns, the Holy Mother Church closely monitors all events through canonist nations, and We have paid special attention to various incidents caused by the small creatures which go by the name Musin. From the stolen relics and vessels, all the way to the ruined part of the statue inside the Basilica of the Ascent, We are shocked that someone has enough courage to perform such shameful and horrible acts, not to mention the various criminal acts committed by these creatures. After a quick report given by the Ministry of Justice, it became clear to Us that these creatures do not wish well for our faithful people, wherever We all may be. Therefore, through Our Apostolic Law, We officially state the decision of the Holy Mother Church that these creatures should not be trusted, and so that they do not present themselves as friendly. We especially address our Canonist Princes, and warn them that something should be done about this matter, urgently and without waiting. SECTION VIII Through Our Apostolic Authority, We affirm the following venerations. VENERABLE HENRI DE GUISE, Made Venerable for his faithful rule as Baron of Guise, patronage of the Church of Canon, settling of refugees displaced by the War of the Two Emperors in his barony, kind nature towards the common-folk and Canonist death at the hands of Anti-Marna Pertinaxi forces. VENERABLE ANNE AUGUSTA, Made Venerable for her faithful rule as Empress, patronage of the Church of Canon, personally rescuing over a hundred men and women from Helena from the Inferi, and increased social welfare programs for Providence’s common-folk. VENERABLE FATHER ARTHUR, Made Venerable for his faithful service to God, dedication to the righteous mission of the Mother Church as a Cardinal Helena, his charitable nature, as well as his steadfast devotion to the people of Helena by allowing the Church there to prosper. VENERABLE FRIAR BONIFACE, Made Venerable for his faithful service to God, dedication to the righteous mission of the Mother Church as a friar, as well as his steadfast devotion to the Haeseni people, and martyrdom at the hands of corrupt clergy for calling out the abuses of the Church. HIGH PONTIFF, VENERABLE JUDE II, Made Venerable for his faithful service to God, dedication to the righteous mission of the Mother Church as a High Pontiff, peacemaking between all Canonist princedoms, pious and scholarly aptitude, and martyrdom at the hands of radical heathens and apostates for his peacemaking nature. SECTION IX Through Our Apostolic Authority in the Pontificate, also on the approval of the Synod, We canonize the following people. HIGH PONTIFF ST. JAMES II OF REZA Patron Saint of Glaziers, Sufferers of Paralysis and Epilepsy, and Seekers of Angelic Intercession St. High Pontiff James II was born as Godric Virosi in Reza in 1712. Although his family were glaziers, among his distant relatives were Cecil Virosi (scribe to Ex. Godfrey) and Bl. Fabian the Lesser (spiritual brother of St. High Pontiff Daniel the Great). He was sponsored for seminary in compensation for refitting the stained glass of the Basilica of the Fifty Virgins in the wake of the War of Two Emperors. He began his clerical career by publishing the lost works of his ancestors. After being ordained, James II was appointed Bishop of Jorenus, then swiftly promoted to cardinal and Vice-Chancellor. He was elected to the pontificate in 1753, taking the regnal name James II after the first High Priest to receive the title ‘Pontifex’ from Ex. Godfrey. His first act as High Pontiff was to depart the continent, traveling to Athera on a three year pilgrimage. While there, he recovered the lost original copies of the Scroll of Auspice. Upon returning to Helena, he devoted much of his life to a meticulous translation, compared against the work of St. High Pontiff Daniel and Bl. Fabian the Lesser. His early reign was marred by a difficult relationship between crown and laurel, as some members of the priesthood believed the emperor was complicit in the death of James II’s predecessor. This led him to a public confrontation with Peter III in the streets of Helena. After a private conversation, the future saint campaigned to correct the disharmony between their offices, issuing many golden bulls to clarify their respective roles. He renewed the practice of referring to the emperor as his twin brother, in the model of Evaristus and Clement. After restoring the Church’s relationship with the crown, James II went to work reforming the Church. He began by publishing a complete translation of the Holy Scrolls, making scripture available to the public for the first time in the Church’s history. During the Inferi invasion of Arcas, he witnessed several visions of the Archangel Michael, receiving from him a miraculous banner marked with the Argentate Star, and a gold coin bearing the archangel’s symbol. James II conferred the banner upon Philip Augustus, appointing him pontifical gonfalonier. At the last battle of the Inferi War, heeding the petition of the High Pontiff, the Archangel Michael interceded on the side of the Descendants. Among the aforementioned accomplishments, the High Pontiff also restored the institution of the Holy Palatinate, coronated four human monarchs, and presided over the peaceful separation of the Holy Orenian Empire and the Kingdom of the Haense. James II’s palsy developed into full paralysis, and he passed away peacefully on the 7th of Horen’s Calling, 1802 at the age of 90. His was the longest reign of any High Pontiff to date, at exactly 49 years. MIRACLE 1 Upon James II’s death, an unearthly quiet fell over the room, and the distant voice of the Archangel Michael was heard shepherding him into the Seven Skies. MIRACLE 2 A glazier fell and broke his back while repairing the windows of the Basilica of St. Heinrik after the Diet of Karosgrad. On the advice of Philip Augustus, the glazier prayed for the intercession of the late High Pontiff. Upon waking the next morning, he found himself miraculously cured. ST. KING OTTO II OF HAENSE Patron Saint of Crusaders, Family, and Charity St. King Otto II, born Prince Otto Georg Barbanov, served as a courtier in the restored Haeseni court of Stephen I and worked as a diplomat under the Palatine Saint Henrik Bihar. He was known for his humility and strict adherence to moral doctrine, which clashed greatly with his cousin’s more extravagant court. Otto maintained a close circle of advisors and friends, mostly of ordained clergy, which included the future pontiff Everard IV. In his father’s three months as King, Otto served as crown prince with dour respect, creating the record-long sixteen-hour hymn for his elevation as heir. Otto ascended to the throne of Hanseti-Ruska in 1627, and his reign saw Haense continue the economic and cultural boom it experienced under Stephen. Otto, as a committed Canonist, created many royal hospitals and institutions of faith within Haense, as well as the first irrigation system stretching across the Rothswald and Wickswald. Lavish donations were bestowed upon canonist charities and orders within Haense, and Otto encouraged a theological revival in Haeseni sciences. To pay for much of this, Otto II cut down spending on the armed forces and military. Haense maintained relatively peaceful throughout his reign, except the brief of Vasiland by dwarven forces in 1635, where the army faced a considerable loss when allied with a coalition of fellow imperial vassals and dwed loyalists. Otto also joined the Third Crusade as one of its main leaders, alongside the monarchs of Marna and Renatus, successfully besieging and capturing the pagan capital in the process. The historical and spiritual memory of King Otto II remains an important fixture in the lives of the Haeseni and the Most Holy Church. Unlike many of his predecessors and successors on the throne of the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska, Otto II is largely remembered for his fidelity to family life and took his vocation as a husband and father with high regard despite the tumultuous interwars of his era. Over a century later, High Pontiff Everard V beatified the late king in 1718 in the Fourth Golden Bull of Jorenus, recognizing his stalwart efforts in service to the faith and his virtuous character as a man who upheld the standards of Genere Vitae (1623). MIRACLE 1 During the Rubern War, also known as the AIS war, the Imperial army suffered countless defeats. These continuous defeats significantly harmed morale of the soldiers, leading to numerous desertions and a constantly decreasing chance at victory. Yet another defeat seemed imminent in 1742, when reports of a sizable AIS army reached the Haeseni capital of New Reza. Having no choice but to sally forth and attempt to repel the invaders, the commanders all invoked the name of Otto II, the Norland crusader who had beaten them over a century ago, and took to battle. Rather than the defeat they had been expecting, the Imperial army totally routed the AIS force, giving the Empire their only major victory of the entire war. MIRACLE 2 Again, during the Rubern war, a lone soldier found himself caught behind enemy lines after the Imperial loss at the Battle of Adria in 1753. Fearing for his life, the soldier prayed to Otto II, hoping that his prayers would bring him safe passage back to Haense. He was discovered just before his arrival at New Reza, and many arrows were shot at him to kill him. The arrows however were miraculously stopped in mid-air, and the soldier was able to enter the Haeseni capital and avoid capture and death.

ENCYCLICAL LETTER ORATIO STATUM SUTICAE Of the Holy Father Tylus Primus ON THE SITUATION IN SUTICA, Addressed to all faithful flock HIS HOLINESS TYLOS I, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Archbishop of Visigia, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, Missionary to Aeldin, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD. “You shall keep fast to your word and station, and aspire not to greatness among men, but to My glory.” (Virtue, 6:8) Health and Apostolic Benediction, Most beloved flock of Godan, The history of a nation can be interpreted in various ways, in ways that may sound disappointing, and even in ways that seem unjust or inhuman, without a shred of morality and honor. When we talk about a nation, we are always interested in its leaders, culture and religion, which is in the nature of a man, so we also know a period of time that happened many years ago, in a nation run in an ideologically very desperate way, led by the leaders who couldn’t bring their own people to one great unity. The overthrow of the Canonist prince was a mistake, which persisted until the day that changed the course of the world. Free State of Sutica, a nation without a real face, a nation that has maintained neutrality for many years so as not to be scattered on all four sides of the world, and also a nation that has got rid of its true leader, the only spark of hope in the whole ocean of misery. Godan may judge Us, but He Himself knows that despair grew day by day, until finally the time came for things to change in the south. With Our Apostolic Authority, the Holy Mother Church, together with the two Canonist princes, Their Majesties King Heinrik II and Emperor John VIII, recognized the legitimate King of the Free State of Sutica, a man who is a true Canonist and who knows the true values of faith and life and who will fight for them. Having been crowned by the Patriarch of Jorenus, with Our blessing, Georg Barclay, and his wife Johanna I, the niece of the deposed but true King Corwin von Alstreim, are officially the new King and Queen of this already afflicted nation, but we have no doubt that with Godan they will be able to restore the splendor that nation once had. With joy in Our hearts, we write this letter to , without any doubt, support Our dear friends, brothers and sisters, who have set out with Their Majesties the King and Queen of the Commonwealth of Sutica, with the task of restoring that splendor which once illuminated a nation that stood firmly on its feet, that feared no one but Godan. Written in and published from the Holy See, given to all Our faithful flock on the 28th of Godfrey's Triumph, in the year of our lord, 1821. ☩ UT BENEDICAT TIBI DEUS OMNIA ☩ GOD BLESS YOU ALL PENNED BY YOUR HUMBLE SERVANT, Sanctitas, Papa Tylus Primus

Tylos I smirks at the Merryweather Accord, "This day is becoming better and better."

Tylos I takes the missive which one courier offered to him, adjusting his glasses with his brow arched, "So that's what happened yesterday on Duma.. We had more important matters to attend, of course, but this.. this is unacceptable.", the Pontiff exclaims as he exhales deeply, running his hand through his beard as he thinks.. "As good as you are to someone, they are twice as bad to you. Let me address this, perhaps.", the man says, taking an ink and quill, starting to write something on a piece of paper..

The old Pontiff wonders if he is tripping hard or he really hears the voices coming from his office.. It was time to leave the medicine which was recommended by 9/10 doctors.

Tylos I nods a few times at the document, agreeing with his Archbishop, "..Only one side will get out of this war as a winner, and that will be the side of Godan."

PONTIFICAL LETTER WRIT OF DISSOLUTION: OF THE SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY Health and Pontifical Benediction, Most Beloved Faithful. With sadness on Our hearts We write this letter, which was made after a conversation with Edith Castington about the situation in the marriage of her and her husband, Jakob Castingon. We also grieve that their children have to go through these difficult moments of dissolution, as We do not want that for any child to be confronted by. However, the course of their marriage has been determined, so We will be guided by what lies ahead of Us. With the provided testimony of Edith Castington, We found that their marriage has no bright future and that the best option is to announce dissolution. We, by Our Apostolic Authority derived from the Laurel of the Prophets, hereby dissolve the Sacrament of Matrimony which bonds together Jakob and Edith Castington. Following the dissolution of the sacrament of matrimony, Edith Castington shall become Edith Hope, taking back her last name before the official union. Children born during the union are to be separated, which means that girls named Seraphina and Ophelia are under the custody of Edith Hope, while Xander and the child whose name was not said are under the custody of Jakob Castington. With their union dissolved, they are both permitted by Our office to remarry. However, We beseech both to take more care in seeking the Sacrament of Matrimony going forward and demand that both seek Our permit for future unions, lest it be considered invalid. Et Gloria Dei, Sanctitas, Papa Tylus Primus ☩UT BENEDICAT TIBI DEUS OMNIA☩ GOD BLESS YOU ALL

SEPTIMA AUREA BULLA PROVIDENTIA THE SEVENTH GOLDEN BULL OF PROVIDENTIA 18th of Joma and Umund, 1820 HIS HOLINESS TYLOS I, High Pontiff of the Church of the Canon, Archbishop of Visigia, Successor of the High Priesthood of the Church, Supreme Pontiff of the Church of True Faith, Keeper of the Canon, Missionary to Aeldin, High Servant to the Exalted's Testaments, Humble Servant of the Faithful and Vicar of GOD does decree… TABLE OF CONTENTS ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ SECTION I - Exhortation SECTION II - Synod Appointments SECTION III - Curia Appointments SECTION IV - Writ of Annulment SECTION V - Venerations ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ SECTION I “Deo Volente” Some specific temptations are connected with the teachings of the Holy Fathers and the elders from the books. The point is that in most cases, the advice of the elderly refers to a specific person in specific circumstances of his life and can be changed based on the change of those circumstances. God's providence for man's salvation can be different. But you all may ask, why is that so? Because a man, due to his impotence, does not follow the direct path - the path of perfection. For example, today he did not fulfill what he was supposed to fulfill. And what does he have left? To die? Not! In that case, God determines for him another, perhaps more thorny and longer, but absolute path of salvation. We all should be guided by what is written in the Canticle of Humanity, “So I am the Most High, and in pursuit of My Virtue, I bid my faithful this: You shall not judge your own virtue, be it great or small, for all fall short of Me.” (Virtue 7:8). As good or bad as it may seem to us, we must know that God's will is the thing from which our work, effort, and whatever we create has achieved. SECTION II It is through Our Apostolic Right, bestowed unto Us through the Laurel derived from the Exalted that We make these affirmations, alterations, and additions to the College of Cardinals. We decree these appointments… TMR, His Eminence, Fr. Gawain Cardinal Providentia TMR, His Eminence, Fr. Yaromir Cardinal Jorenus TMR, His Eminence, Fr.

After a long conversation with one side of this union, we came to the conclusion that the couple cannot continue, so do We concur. Therefore, We hereby declare the union of Valent de Rosius, and Aimee Jolie Halcourt, void, annulled on the grounds of their marriage being an unconsummated one and too, severe impairment of this union, characterized by separation, distrust, and other such factors spanning many years which have created an air of struggle amidst this bond. We do pray for each of them and hereby demand that each seek Our permit before entering any future unions. May God bless them. SECTION V Through Our Apostolic Authority, We affirm this following veneration. VENERABLE THEOPHILOS KOMNENOS-ARIANITES, Made venerable for his faithful service to God, dedication to the righteous mission of the Mother Church as a member of the Curia, including his positions as the Pontifical Legate and the Knight-Commander of the Supreme Order of Ex.

"It is indeed the first time I see the work of this acolyte, but the first impression is most important.. and he really left a good one.", Tylos I exclaims with a smirk after he received the copy of a thesis from his cousin Adelric Cardinal Freising, putting a stamp on the document firmly, leaving a clear mark of approval.

THE PONTIFICAL ENTHRONEMENT OF 1820, 373 ES ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From the tragic day that befell the Holy Mother Church, the anticipation was great, tensions grew as the gates of the Basilica of the Ascent in Providence closed for all those people outside of the big construction, which was just the basilica during the foggy and cloudy time - who will succeed late Holiness Jude II ? The moment has come, which occupies a very important place in the hearts of all believers, but especially among those in the church ranks. There were moments of deep prayers, where after the same, those gathered began to record their votes for the new heir to the church throne, crown and chair... Shortly after the last ballot arrived in its designated place, the atmosphere began to rise gradually, where the cardinals began to talk to each other after a long wait. Slightly tired, yet upright, they watched the great door of the basilica open, and they in their places - all six cardinals, eagerly awaiting the results of the election. The crowd in the basilica was large, almost unimaginable at first glance, but their eyes showed faith, and a desire for a new High Pontiff that would maintain the peace that had lasted so far. A few minutes passed.. The Synod finally gathered in one place, after the peace in the basilica came when Cardinal Pelagius stepped on the altar, with a calm look and attitude firm as a soldier. The cardinals looked at each other briefly, one of them being the Pontiff-Elect, before Cardinal Pelagius said aloud what people had been expecting for a long time… Cardinal Jorenus, Cardinal Jorenus, Cardinal Providentia, Cardinal Jorenus, Cardinal Providentia, Cardinal Jorenus. And so, the High Pontiff was elected. The people exclaimed joyfully, some in whistles and some in prayers. The happiness that illuminated the basilica was indescribable, which Cardinal Alfred was more than glad to see. Descending to the gilded throne, the people began to come to the new Pontiff, making one great order in the basilica. However, shortly after the small celebration, Cardinal Pelagius was joined by Cardinal Adelric, slowly beginning to read the Prayer of Penitence: "Almighty and most merciful Creator, we have wandered and strayed from your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against your holy laws. We have left undone those things that we ought to have done; and we have done those things that we ought not to have done; and there is no health in us. But you, O Lord, have mercy upon us sinners. Spare those who confess their faults. Restore those who are penitent, according to your promises declared to mankind in Horen our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Creator, for his sake, that we may live a disciplined, righteous and godly life, to the glory of your holy name. So say we all." Crossing himself, Pontiff-Elect Alfred exhaled quietly, genuflecting in front of the throne and the cross of Lorraine. Cardinal Adelric looked at Pontiff-Elect, starting again… “With the Lord Creator our witness and guide, it has been divined that the Alfred of Jorenus, born Alfred Barclay, has been willed to fulfill the seat of the Church Pontificate. Do you heed the call of Our Creator to bear this vocation?”, Cardinal Adelric spoke, before Alfred spoke in respond, “I do so believe.” “You have been ordained in our church, your household names forsaken and your life devoted in sole service to the teachings of our Creator. The vows of your past vocations remain firm; now you must make the declaration of assent.”, Adelric then began to read the assent, the document itself being passed from one Pontiff to another, and all in a circle.. “The Church of Faithful is the One, Holy and Rightful Church of the Creator , worshiping the one true God, The Creator. It professes the faith uniquely revealed in the Holy Scrolls and set forth in the Faithful creeds, which faith the Church is called upon to proclaim afresh in each generation. Led by the Holy Light, it has borne witness to Faithful truth in its historic formulates, the Articles of Faith, The Book of Saints. In the declaration you are about to make, will you affirm your loyalty to this inheritance of faith as your inspiration and guidance under God in bringing the grace and truth of Horen to this generation and making Him known to those in your care?”. Alfred responded, “I, Alfred of Jorenus, do so affirm, and accordingly declare my belief in the faith which is revealed in the Holy Scrolls and set forth in the Faithful creeds and to which the historic formularies of the Church of The Creator bear witness; and in public prayer and administration of the sacraments, I will use only the forms of service which are authorized or allowed by Canon.” “Do you accept the Holy Scrolls as revealing all things necessary for eternal salvation through faith?” "I do so accept them." "Will you be diligent in prayer, in reading Holy Scrolls, and in all studies that will deepen your faith and fit you to bear witness to the truth of the Word?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you lead your people in proclaiming the glorious Word of Horen, so that the good news of salvation may be heard in every place?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you teach the doctrine of Horen as the Church of Faith has received it, will you refute error, and will you hand on entire the faith that is entrusted to you?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you be faithful in ordaining and commissioning ministers of the Church?” "By the help of God, I will." "Will you be gentle and merciful for Horen’s sake to those who are in need, and speak for those who have no other to speak for them?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you endeavor to fashion your own life and that of your household according to the way of God and make your home a place of hospitality and welcome?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you work with your fellow servants in the Church for the sake of the kingdom of God?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you accept the discipline of this Church, exercising authority with justice, courtesy and love, and always holding before you the example of Horen?" "By the help of God, I will." "Will you then, in the strength of the Holy Light, continually stir up the gift of God that is in you, that the good news of God may be proclaimed in all the Realm?" "By the help of God, I will." "Speak thus then the oath of the Pontificate, with the conclave and God as witness." "I vow to change nothing of the received Tradition, and nothing thereof I have found before me guarded by my God-pleasing predecessors, to encroach upon, to alter, or to permit any innovation therein; To the contrary: with glowing affection as her truly faithful student and successor, to safeguard reverently the passed-on good, with my whole strength and utmost effort; To cleanse all that is in contradiction to the canonical order, should such appear; to guard the Holy Canons and Decrees of our Saints and Pontiffs as if they were the divine ordinance of Heaven, because I am conscious of Thee, whose place I take through the Grace of God, whose Vicarship I possess with Thy support, being subject to severest accounting before Thy Divine Tribunal over all that I shall confess; I swear to God Almighty and the Favored son Horen that I will keep whatever has been revealed through Horen and His Successors and whatever the Saints and my predecessors have defined and declared. I will keep without sacrifice to itself the discipline and the rite of the Church. I will put outside the Church whoever dares to go against this oath, may it be somebody else or I. If I should undertake to act in anything of contrary sense, or should permit that it will be executed, Thou willst not be merciful to me on the dreadful Day of Divine Justice. Accordingly, without exclusion, We subject to severest excommunication anyone -- be it Ourselves or be it another -- who would dare to undertake anything new in contradiction to this constituted Tradition and the purity of the Faith and the Faithful religion, or would seek to change anything by his opposing efforts, or would agree with those who undertake such a blasphemous venture." As Alfred’s oath taking has come to a conclusion, Cardinal Adelric then proceeded to anoint his forehead with the Holy Waters of Gamesh, tracing the cross unto the Pontiff-Elect’s forehead. After the oaths were taken, the preparation of the Pontifical Regalia began. The cardinals brought part by part of the regalia, so that Pontiff-Elect Alfred could put on all the parts on time. As the small ceremony drew to a close, Cardinal Adelric gently took the Pontifical Laurel from a small red pillow. With care, Adelric lifted it from the pillow, holding it between both hands as he approached the throne. Raising an indescribably beautiful laurel above his head, Cardinal Adelric gently lowered the laurel onto the head of Pontiff-Elect. With a bright smile, hands clasped in front of him, Cardinal Adelric shifted to the side, looking at the congregation… "I announce to you a great joy: We have a High Pontiff! The Most Eminent and Most Reverend Lord, Alfred of Jorenus. High Pontiff of the Canonist Faith who takes to himself the name..." TYLOS THE FIRST! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Looking at the various icons inside the Basilica of the Ascent, Alfred nodded once, rising to toss his vote, signing a short cross of Husariya before going back to sit.

"Godani, take care of him and show him the way, for he was a remarkable person, true friend and a brother in faith.. though I have no doubt that you have already..." Patriarch Alfred exclaims with a wearly sigh in the Basilica of St. Henrikev, kneeling before the altar in deep prayer.

What Alfred least expected to happen, happened... at the wrong time, in the wrong place. Well, maybe not in the wrong place, because the place of death of High Pontiff Jude II was the place that is the holiest, which again throws a man into contemplation.. "H-How.. did this happen, O' Lord..", Alfred wondered, a gloomy look as he roamed St. Henrik's Basilica, breaking his head about who could have killed his close friend, a brother in the faith, a person he thought was immortal at times. Knowing the procedure that follows the aftermath of High Pontiff's death, Alfred only thought of locking himself in a room within the clergy district, but he knew it was wrong thing to do, for the Canonist faith must not stop at any moment, must never find itself in front of any obstacle, but must grow and expand, which was clear to Alfred after a few moments spent thinking. He packed only his three most important things, took his crozier, and headed for Holy See, holding the cross of Husariya firmly in his hand. "Your Holiness.. I know you've already approached the Seven Skies.. if you can, please greet my grandfather Anton, say that we haven't fallen and that we are stronger than ever. May Godan be with you..", he cuts himself off, signing a cross before continuing on his way..

Patriarch Alfred smiles the sun's smile, nodding in approval of his brother's letter, "Good work, Johan."

"Shame. Shame. Shame.", Alfred repeats, ringing the small bell as he walks between the camps in Attenlund.
