Bishop Pious jots down a return letter for his fellow preist in short the letter reads out the bishops support for the whole endeavor

Pious could not help but huff as he shared cigars with his fellow bishop friend "Aye... what a saint he was" he'd say with an edge to his voice

A tired Bishop washes at the walls... His white city would glimmer again

The Bishop quirks a brow slightly and chuckles fondly at the zealous young princesses efforts

Father Pious not seeing his name on the list begins to write a scathing reply letter to the grandmaster @FashionBeardregarding the error

Pious collect his things as he prepares yet another trip across the river Petra "What a silly world these people live in..." he'd mused shaking his head "This is why Laymen cant be trusted with enforcing on such manners, bickering and blathering like opinions matter" he says stopping once more as he looks across the room, the acolyte was gone and he had been lecturing no one "Blasted child..."

Pious after the ceremony would jot at designs for the urn as he rode back to the Temple of St King Ciaus, the body in the cart behind securely within a casket "Dio Es Nomine Dio Es Nomine" he muttered silently as he returned to his work

PRIMA BULLA AQUILA First Minor Bull of Aquila HIS GRACE Pious Bishop Aquila does decree… T A B L E O F C O N T E N T S I. GREETINGS AND PRAYER II. ON MATTERS OF LITURGY III. CALL TO THE PIOUS IV. MATTERS OF SAFETY V. ON HEATHEN ICONOGRAPHY VII. RECOGNITION OF THE FAITHFUL VIII. CLOSING THOUGHTS GREETINGS AND PRAYER Greetings to the Diocese of Aquila, greetings to those of strong faith. I have seen fit and desire to publish the first minor bull of Aquila. Not only the first of this Diocese but also the first of my own writing. I am early in my days of service to the church and though I do not doubt my abilities to guide my flock I recognize that I may falter at times in my service as we all falter in life, for this I beg your forgiveness. It is by the grace of GOD and most excellent tutallege in his word I am allowed to serve the Númenedain as their Bishop and for that I thank you Father Toni and to all those who have guided me, let us pray… “May the Creator protect us And in turn we protect others Let Him be our shield, So that we may be His hammer, ridding this world of darkness. He who stands with me shall be my brother, Amen.” ON MATTERS OF LITURGY It has for some time been a matter of great consideration on the nature of the Númenedain and the culture of faith surrounding it and Canonized Adunians at large. Thus I have seen fit to formally declare my intent to begin the development of Liturgy that caters to such a populus. I am myself an Adunian, and I find myself amongst many of my kin, understanding deeply the spiritual needs and cultural nuances that shape our worship. Our traditions, rich and ancient, deserve a Liturgy that resonates with our history, our values, and our aspirations. It is my belief, as should be shared amongst all brothers of GOD, that new Liturgy should in nature serve to add and enhance the faith and not serve in any capacity to draw lines or divide and in such a pursuit I intend to not only seek out those of intimate knowledge of the Faith but also those with similar strength in regards to the culture and way of my people. It is my hope to form a small committee dedicated to such a task, should you be an expert in either capacity please do not hesitate to reach out. CALL TO THE PIOUS The Diocese of Aquila does hereby declare the need for the training and deployment of additional members of the clergy within the Diocese, Through rigorous training and contemplative meditation, new acolytes will forge a deep connection with the divine, eventually becoming beacons of light for our community. Understand that the path of the clergy stands distinct from any worldly profession, it is a divine vocation. Upon ordination you will join an eternal brotherhood of priests and in doing so, commit upon a life of uncompromising virtue, unwavering faith and boundless love. Those interested in such an endeavor need only arrive at the Bastion Temple of St King Caius and seek the attention of myself or his eminence, prelate of the clergy Cardinal Antonius. In return for your dedication, the Diocese promises not only to cater to your basic needs but also to nurture your spiritual growth. If the fervent flame roars brightly within you, if service in the name of GOD resonates deeply within you, step forth and let your journey of faith, service, and devotion begin. MATTERS OF SAFETY In recent times the Númenedain have risen and faced an onslaught of challenges, little rest in their combat of darkspawn and the influence of the foe. I have in turn received a number of letters reaching out and asking whether support would be needed in order to safeguard the faithfull. To those who have made such an offer I return as such. Thank you, but the Númenedain will not buckle to such petty obstacles. The people of my parish are strong people, our faith is a strong and unwavering faith. Yet, should the need arise there will be no hesitation to call on brothers of the faith. To those strong and devoted of Numendil I beseech you: risk nothing alone you may risk alongside your brethren. Too few and too precious are your lives and though the call to be bold rings proudly in not only your ear but mine we must always temper righteous action with wise contemplation. Please report any matters of concern or threats to the faithfull to the office of the Tar, the Church or any member of the Knights of Numendil. In unity and vigilance, we shall prevail. ON HEATHEN ICONOGRAPHY It has come to my attention, a matter of great concern, the finding of Iconography in strange and vaguely canonist fashion, it was not the other day I was accosted by a creature of the night who sought to intimidate and disorient me on a walk of the lands contained within the diocese. It was after declaring myself a servant of GOD unshaken by the fiend that I was given a carving of a woman's hands, a delicate and well worn inscription of ‘Faith’ which had seemed to be worn away by a constant touch. It was upon my reflections that its true nature became apparent. Foolish and brash as I am, I retrieved the object, inspecting it closely only to realize: even the most innocent of objects can carry a taint which will not wash away. The foe will use a myriad of techniques to lure in those unsuspecting and unprepared for the honeyed words and gifts of the deceiver. SUSPICION IS YOUR SHIELD REPORT THE SUSPICIOUS FIND FAITH SOLELY IN THE WORD OF GOD Let this be an unequivocal decree: the possession of pagan symbols, the veneration of false icons, or the construction of heathen altars are grave transgressions against our faith. Such acts will be met with the severity they are deserving. It is the duty of every faithful to remain watchful, to report any deviations, and to ensure that our devotion to GOD remains untainted and pure. RECOGNITION OF THE FAITHFUL Nearly two decades have passed since my initial arrival in the lands of Numendil, without much faith provided to me in my youth I came to these lands with a single task in mind: live and die in service of Tar-Numentar. It is by nature of my life that now I follow a similar path though that service is to GOD. Five years, perhaps, I committed to service of Tar-Numentar, these were years of pride and distinction as I was serving not only my liege but the protector of my people, of my kin. It was this pride I felt which left me in such utter shock when the man of his own volition sought to abdicate that very seat I was in service to. By no small measure does any man or woman step down from the very thing which has defined them. Pride is a chief weapon of the foe blinding those afflicted with it to the passing of time and the changing of fates. It is why many die with the power they sought after, clutching to it with white knuckles as they fall slowly into age. Not we, not those who seek to upset what is in favor of what should be. It is now that I recognize the profound wisdom in his actions. On behalf of the Diocese of Aquila and its parish I thank you Ser Numentar, for your toil against the foe, for your unwavering faith and for shepherding the faithfull, let us pray… “Saint Edmond, model of all knights, possess me not with fear; grant me peace and strength in the hour of battle. Let God think not on my faults but on my potential. I swear that if I come through this day with courage, I will strive to embody the honour that thou didst: I shall show clemency to the prisoner, give succor to the widow and spare the peasant. Amen” CLOSING THOUGHT AND PRAYER In these closing words I will be brief as time is dear. In every matter, whether grand or seemingly insignificant, turn to the church for counsel. Remember, as we devote ourselves to the service of GOD, the church stands as our beacon. Remind oneself that while we, those in communion with the church, seek to commit ourselves to service to GOD. We are due the guidance of the church in return, In our journey of faith, let us never neglect our spiritual needs. Seek always the guidance and solace of the Church. A Final Prayer… “Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And may perpetual light shine upon them. Amen” Deus est veritas, Deus est veritas

In my experience I do the minimum when I am making new characters Strengths Weaknesses vices after I get the basics of my characters personality I move onto the server and develope from there

A Third missive would attach making the missive even longer: Via the Diocese of Aquila under his grace Bishop Pious: The Geist-beast has in the past used the Faith and symbols of the faith during its attacks, turn in any said objects to an ordained minister or knight of Numendil If you are approached by any who question The Faith: Report it If you come across anyone who speaks on matters of the faith and is not an ordained priest: Report it If anyone gives you gifts or iconography unsolicited: Report it THE FAITHFUL ARE THE EYES AND EARS OF THE CHURCH, REPORT ANYTHING OF CONCERN

A bishop cheers for GOD

Sophistry

Father Pious would mutter something racist as he archived away the letter
