"So true!" Said Henry with a sly smirk as he wrapped a hand around his old friend's shoulders

Go on, go on, son of Horen. Sail the seas of tragedy and death, Go on, go on, my friend, my knight. As my son claims another, Go on, go on, my friend, my protector. Know you failed in nothing, know that all was fulfilled, Go on, go on, as a son of Horen, As the candle we lit burns out.

The bells of the city rang as a hooded figure walked through the darkened streets. Behind him trailed a single figure, hooded as well. At the other side of the city, the main street leading to the Hand of Horen was filled with people - and light, with each carrying a candle to offer in prayer to the sickened King. The two made their way across the side alleys before finally clambering through a secret hatch - the two found them outside, where two horses were waiting for them. A nod of thanks to the soldier who was guarding the horses, and they set off, making their way towards Merryweather. Instead of going to the keep which guarded the passageway beyond the Langkette, the two left their horses at Merryweather, then starting to make the arduous journey to the top of Mt. Godwin. They reached the top, where the ancient tower awaited them. As always, light emanated from inside the tower; the faithful having made sure that the candles never dimmed. Henry took off his hood, a sigh escaping the Prince as he gazed across the land. “Wait here.” “Yes, Your Highness.” Ser Gawyn nodded in return and turned his back to the tower, a hand remaining on his Longsword’s hilt. Henry walked inside the tower, where the familiar site of the ancient crumbling statue and the freshly renewed prayer site and the painting that accompanied it. All in the small hall of the ancient tower were directed to the worship of a single person; Saint Godwin of Aaun. Henry signed the Lorraine and knelt, his hands crossed. “Lord GOD.” “I’m not sure what to say, Lord. I guess … I guess I have come to ask you for strength.” “Heavy is the head that wears the Crown they say, eh? I don't know. Nobody understands.” “But such is the life you’ve bestowed upon us. And we play our parts, for falling out of line means eternal damnation in the void.” “I..” He cut off for a moment, the Prince’s lips pursed in thought. “I will be as you intended, Lord GOD. I will make this realm your holiest land on this mortal plane. I will scourge out those who break your law, burn those who defile your Church. I will … I will defend your faith, to the very end … For you are the only one who understands.” He took in a shaky breath as tears began to form in his eyes. “Lord King. I will be worthy of your Kingdom. I will be as you were - No, I will be better.” He raised a hand, slowly lifting it to softly touch upon the painted form of Saint Godwin. He ran his hand through the Saint’s face - which was oddly reminiscent of his own, as many had noted. His hand came to a stop as it reached the Golden tears dripping down from the Saint’s cheek. “I will be like you …” The Prince rose and lifted his hand to touch his own tears. Somewhere in the depths of his mind, he had hoped to see something else than the tears of a mortal man. He wiped them off. “Your Majesty.” Ser Gawyn called from outside “We should return to Whitespire.” The King swallowed and signed the Lorraine, giving one final glance to the ancient statue of Saint Godwin. “Like you …” He murmured before walking back outside, where he was met by the radiant purple gloom emanating in the far distance from on top of the Hand of Horen. "You never knew my dreams, brothers. None of you ever cared enough to find out." He woke up, covered in sweat. It was a small room he inhabited now, the entire chamber smaller than the bathroom of the grandereus apartment belonging to the Lord of Alba. But he hadn’t slept there for a long time now. Henry’s hands shook - again. He had heard a daughter had been born to him … that was two days ago. He hadn’t left the chamber since. The streets of Whitespire were filled with an eerie silence as Henry and Ser Gawyn walked through it and out of the main gate. They took their horses and rode to Merryweather, leaving the horses there and climbing up the steps to the tower that stood on top of Mt. Godwin. “Wait here.” “Aye, Henry.” Ser Gawyn nodded in return and turned his back to the tower, a hand remaining on his Longsword’s hilt. Henry walked inside, signed the Lorraine and knelt. “Lord GOD.” “You know what I’ll do. I have always believed that all we do in life is dictated by you. That our paths have been laid for us.” “I failed, Lord. I strove off the path you intended for me. I tried my best, I truly did. We were on the cusp of peace, everlasting peace. But it’ll break. They’ll break it, even more with my absence. But I tried, and for this one fleeting moment, your Children knelt together before you to pledge loyalty to each other.” “But everyone has their own Kingdoms behind their eyes.” Tears began to swell in Henry’s eyes. “I did not love my wife as I should be, I do not cherish my children as I should. My mind, still, goes back to that one night in Florentine’s tavern. And I cannot get rid of it, no matter how hard I pray.” “Lord King, I was foolish to think of myself as the second of your name. To be equal, or greater. You were the finest of us. I will rectify my mistakes, I promise.” “I will go to your skies, and do what I couldn’t do in the mortal plane, from there. You have, for years, asked me to be your soldier, and I will.” “Please, Lord GOD, do not punish Aleksandr, Adrian or Markus. While they have their secular needs, they are good of heart and they were truly my friends. Give them the strength to see the potentiality of unity, and if all fails, deliver your wrath. Give my people the prosperity they deserve, for Aaun has become your holiest land on this plane. And finally, Lord, do not let my family grieve the loss of my mortal body. Let them know that I will be with them, always.” “For when the armour of your faith is buckled and torn, see in your mind that magnificent hero. Think upon his deeds and be humble, for his like will never walk the mortal plane again.” Henry reached for his belt. He took out the Dracanium dagger given to him by the late King of Balian. He raised it to his forehead, and took a breath. “For there is no more noble sacrifice than giving your life for a cause in which you sincerely believe in. And in the millennial history of humanity, there has never been a cause more worthy than that of Canonis Aeternus.” He slit his throat open. Maybe it was the Prince’s ailing mental health that had caused him to speak of his dreams and destinies so often, and maybe, it was just the rising gleaming rays of the morning sun, But as Henry Alstion died, a golden tear fell down his cheek.

henry did not smile.

PAX CANONIS OR THE PEACE OF WHITESPIRE On this 10th of Sun's Smile, 1932 Between the Canonist League and the Duchy of Adria And as I have created for you the struggles of the world, so too do I create the struggles of the spirit. And as I have created the struggles of the world and the spirit, so too do I bring their remedies. - The Scroll of Virtue, Canticle of Patience, 5-6 PRO NOSTRI DEO VERO, PACE ET UNITATE Hereby do we, the Canonist Princes of the world affirm our loyalties to GOD almighty and each other. With this treaty, we wipe away the qualms and conflicts of the past and declare; may order, peace and stability reign across the lands of mankind. After years of negotiations, we, the Princes of Canondom, agree to the following terms; IN REGARDS TO PEACE & PROSPERITY, Clause I: Peace & the cessation of hostilities The members of the Canonist League and the Duchy of Adria, henceforth referred to as the signatories unless otherwise mentioned, do agree that upon the signing of this treaty, all hostilities between their realms are to cease immediately. Clause II: Sovereignty The signatories do recognise each other’s complete sovereignty and both territorial and political independence, as well as recognize each other to be the rightful holders of their current titles not including the agreements made in Clause VI. Clause III: Non-Aggression The Signatories do pledge to a strict pact of non-aggression between each other. They may not incite nor support any sort of conflict inside or targeting the other’s realms, and all qualms that may arise in the future are to be solved diplomatically. This pact of non-aggression will be in effect for the duration of 15 years. Clause IV: Territorial Boundaries The United Kingdom of Aaun and the Duchy of Adria recognise the eastern Aevos river North-Flow as a natural border between their realms. Neither may cross it in their path to expansion nor lay any claims across it. IN REGARDS TO THE ADRIAN REBELLION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES, Clause V: On War-Guilt The United Kingdom of Aaun affirms and the Duchy of Adria accepts the responsibility of Adria and her allies for causing the loss and damage to which the United Kingdom of Aaun had been subjected to as a consequence of the unjust war imposed upon them by the breach of the Great Charter of the United Kingdom of Aaun (Section III, Statute II) on the one hand, and the breach of vassal contracts to the Crown on the other. For this, Adria accepts war-guilt for the civil war. (Ciredit: Baron Olivier & Justinian Basrid) Clause VI: Titles & Heritage The Duchy of Adria relinquishes its claim to the County of Varoche and recognizes Emilio Varoche and his successors as the rightful claimants to the County. Markus Marie and Cressida Marie mutually recognize each other's holdings as a valid and undisputed Aldersberg. Clause VII: Compensation For the Duke’s conduct of warfare during the initial landings on Aevos and the following period, the Duchy of Adria pledges to pay the sum of 200 mina to Leutwin Barclay, Viktoria Ivanovich and Alessandra Amador each. In addition, the House of Sarkozic pledges to provide the Houses of Barclay von Reinmar and Barclay von Minitz one of their finest steeds each, and a single steed from the Ducal House to Crown Prince Henry. IN REGARDS TO FAITH AND THE CHURCH Clause VIII: The Unity of the Canonists In pursuit of everlasting unity and peace amongst the Canonist people of the world, the signatories do agree that once the heretical Canons Regular have faced the wrath of the righteous and have been properly banished and destroyed, the Duchy of Adria will be invited to join their Canonist brethren in the League as a full member, whereas after this they will enter into a full defensive alliance with the rest of the League’s members, as is written on it’s founding treaty. In addition, the members of the Canonist League pledge to offer an official invitation to join the league to the Exilic-Kingdom of Númendil as well. (Credit: Ser Morgan of Angren.)

PAX HUMANIS “And lo! the light of GOD is redeeming, and the wicked reject it: Iblees and his servants are destroyed forever. The world is become Paradise.” - The Scroll of Auspice, 47-49 TO THE DUKE OF ADRIA AND HIS PEOPLE, Since departing our former lands upon Almaris, the realms of Humanity have been focused upon the settlement and continued perseverance of their citizens and kin. However, still do we feel that the winds of conflict blow at our backs and threaten those unwilling folk weary of war and turmoil. Recently, the leadership of Adria has extended their hands in peace to members of the Canonist League, in an effort to remedy these past transgressions against both our allies and Canondom. We do consent to a cemented peace, so long as it is shown to be genuine and applies to all those who walk in GOD's light beneath the canopy of the Canon Church. We pray that this peace will bring to an end this long-winded conflict, which for too long has put stresses upon all involved. It is our desire that peace and prosperity finally reign once again, across all of humanity. For peace, for GOD and for mankind’s future, we, the members of the Canonist League, extend the following terms of peace to the Duchy of Adria and the Duke Johanes: I. The Duchy of Adria and the members of the Canonist League will cease all hostilities between each other. All possible armies raised to strike at the other’s land will be recalled, and while the talks of everlasting peace are held, no citizen of the Duchy of Adria will traverse the lands of the League, and vice versa unless given express permission from the Crowns of the respective states. II. The Duchy of Adria and the members of the Canonist League will enter into a pact of non-aggression for the duration of 10 years. During this time, the League and the Duchy of Adria pledge to meet to agree on formal and complete terms of peace, which will guarantee the stability of humankind. III. The Duchy of Adria and the Canonist League pledge to allow and assist the members of the Holy Inquisition to conduct their studies and investigations without hindrance or objection. In addition, the Duchy of Adria pledges to banish the heretical Canons Regular from their borders. MAY THE CHILDREN OF HOREN BLEED EACH OTHER DRY NO MORE.
