“I ought to really return, it seems I am missing out on a lot.” The now elderly Albert-Gouliélmos de Rosius sent some flowers with carried by an eagle to drop off in Alba for the newborn.

Its just another example of using fake scenarios, which never happened recently, to fit their narrative, in my opinion. It's not like they are the victims of some kind of mineman genoc*de. Sure I can believe that in the past there may have been some canonist-nationalist larpers on and about hunting down people who go against church teaching but to take it all to heart and say you are hurt by it IRL just means you can't distinguish irp from reality. Most of the people who identify themselves as homosexual literally live in a democracy where you can be whatever you want and then whine about not being accepted in society. (There are soldiers fighting for their freedom dying and they cry about being hurt in a pixel game, see how pathetic it is)?

Isn't it great how great of an emphasis there is being put on being "homophobic", "racist" and being "transphobic". But when someone of the said community of the LGBTQ+ makes fun of an IRL religious person due to their traditional values that are being practiced such as marriage between man and woman there is an immediate bias and the religious person is immediately made fun of. Funny that is. I recall someone and multiple people making the claim that Jesus Christ was “gay” and claimed that He had intercourse with His apostles, no reprimanding was ever done but I guess that just proves how scared people are to be put up with this bullshit. Distinguish the IRP and OOC for once in your life and stop making the claim that because someone says this IRP that its because of their IRL religion, see a psychiatrist at that point or find a religion. I haven’t been online for a long time but that is simply because of this type of ideology being forced upon and having to act along with it. God help you all, amen.

Holocaust Memorial Day, 27th of January This is a post dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust. Yesterday was Holocaust Memorial Day, 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945 where millions have died due to their religion, ethnicity, being disabled, and their sexuality. I suppose I am rather late with this post but I wanted to remember all that this is something that can never be forgotten. The survivors have witnessed the most terrifying form of horror in front of their eyes and have lost tons of family members due to the most evil regime to ever exist in this world. It is in times such as these that we must remember the crimes committed against the Jews and the other minorities, because there is a very big presence of anti-semitism on the rise right now. We should never forget what consequence that had for the Jews and the other minorities of Europe. It is in this post that I remember my great-grandmother who was fortunate to escape persecution because of her ethnicity since she was of Ashkenazi-Jewish descent and living in the Netherlands while under N-zi occupation and was hiding other Jewish, Romani and Sinti people in her home to help them escape the horrors of the concentration camps. Do you have any family members who have seen these horrors happen during World War II? Feel free to share, do not feel forced, this weighs personally on everyone. May all the souls that have gone through the horrors committed in these camps rest in peace. 1939-1945 Never again.

A philosophy for rulers and Lords alike. Authored by Lord Albert-Goulielmos of Rosius "Truth, as it is commonly understood, is an illusion we craft to suit our needs. To manipulate this illusion is not to betray reality but to govern it." TABLE OF CONTENTS I. Introduction II. Core Principles of Illusorism II.I Reality as a Construct II.II Deception as a Virtue II.III The Power of Narratives II.IV The Ethics of The Mask III. Applications of Illusorism III.I Politics and Leadership I. INTRODUCTION Illusorism is a philosophy that embraces manipulation and deceit as inherent and necessary components of human existence. Proposed by me, Albert-Goulielmos Dieuxmont de Rosius, it argues that reality is not fixed or objective but is, instead, a construct shaped by perception and belief. According to Illusorism, those who master the art of controlling perception wield true power over individuals and societies alike. II. CORE PRINCIPLES OF ILLUSORISM II.I Reality as a Construct Illusorism begins with the assertion that reality exists not as a singular, immutable truth but as a dynamic interplay of perceptions. Each person experiences the world through their own subjective lens, making "truth" inherently fluid. De Rosius argues that one can shape reality by influencing the beliefs of others. II.II Deception as a Virtue In stark contrast to traditional moral philosophies that condemn deceit, Illusorism elevates manipulation and deceit as virtuous acts. For me, deception is not inherently evil but a neutral tool—its morality depends on its purpose. I have meditated about this deeply and formulated the following quote. "The liar is not the villain; the incompetent liar is. Masterful deceit, wielded with intent and precision, is the highest art." II.III The Power of Narratives Illusorism emphasizes the importance of controlling the narrative. Stories, symbols, and myths are the scaffolding upon which human societies are built. To command these narratives is to command the masses. I have often cited historical leaders and institutions that successfully manipulated collective belief to consolidate power. II.IV The Ethics of the Mask Authenticity, according to the philosophy Illusorism, is a dangerous myth. To succeed in life, one must adopt roles and personas tailored to specific situations. I coined the term "ethical masking" to describe the practice of consciously wearing "masks" to achieve desired outcomes, arguing that it is not deceitful but adaptive. III. ILLUSORISM IN POLITICS AND LEADERSHIP Illusorism offers a detailed framework for understanding and wielding power in the political arena. Leaders who adhere to its principles prioritize the crafting of appearances over substance, realizing that perception often outweighs reality in governance. Public Spectacle and Legitimacy: Lords use grandiose displays—such as coronations, parades, and public ceremonies—to project authority and divine favor. I emphasize the importance of ritual and symbolism in cementing political legitimacy. For instance, a king’s crown, though made of gold, is far more valuable as a symbol of divine authority than as a mere object. Control of Information: Effective lords limit access to knowledge while shaping public opinion through propaganda. By spreading selective truths and suppressing dissenting voices, rulers can craft a controlled narrative that ensures loyalty and obedience. Divide and Conquer: I highlight the strategic use of factionalism to maintain control. By pitting rivals against one another or fostering divisions among the populace, Lords can divert attention from their own machinations and consolidate their power. Charisma and Persona: Lords often cultivate larger-than-life personas, presenting themselves as benevolent protectors or visionary reformers. These crafted images may bear little resemblance to their true character, but they are vital for maintaining the loyalty of their subjects to the monarch they serve.

The Thraahk-na tribal culture (otherwise known as the Thraahk-na tribe) are a mysterious tribe unknown to Heartlander society who blend into normal civilization. It is said that the tribe in question are often abandoned children or bastards who were adopted into this tribe and have been brought up to infiltrate into the normal Heartlander society. As aforementioned, for a tribe, they base themselves on gathering intel and to sow fear in the hearts of those who live upon Heartlandic land, and it would seem like people of a tribal background are rather intelligent afterall. The cannibals, or as they are called; the Tribe of the Woods, or The Thraahk-na Tribe (the Blood Tribe), are believed to be bastards who have been abandoned at an early age, leaving the children to survive in the woods and many caves with a fierce resentment for mankind in their hearts, growing up to be born killers and to sow terror in the hearts of man. Another account of origin is that the tribe is not an existing tribe but a culture that is adopted. It is often so that when the tribe takes a group of other human beings to their encampment, they butcher all except for one, who is given the choice to be sacrificed or to become a part of the tribe. It is a folklore legend that the cannibals only appear to man at night, where they will take all kinds of people as prey. Often turning the people who they kidnap from roads into effigies or throw the remaining limbs into different villages to further terrorize the people who live outside their society. Legend has it that the Thraahk-na, because of their devouring of other human life, get power from the dead and get the life years of the age of the human who has been devoured. It was however that the tribe made the decision to try and blend into the various societies on the continent. Expanding their influence and allowing anyone to adopt their culture and traditions should they be exposed to a Thraahk-na tribesman who walks among the other human societies as a normal citizen or peer. Little do the people know that he or she might be married to a member of the Thraahk-na tribe. The Thraahk-na come in different forms, some adhere to their traditional tribal culture and remain in the woods, but others can also live in various settlements in the Heartlands, all without the authorities there knowing. Tribal Thraahk-na celebrating the Shaakh Ritual The Thraahk-na tribe has a variety of rituals. The rituals are a matter of proving yourself to your other tribesman. Morkh Ritual The Morkh ritual (The Strength ritual) is a ritual that bases itself off of combat, a duel to the death. Whoever wins in this ritual is celebrated while the fallen opponent will be devoured, yet honored. The tribesman who wins has proven him or herself to the tribe and is considered an honorary member. Shaakh Ritual The Shaakh ritual (The Fire ritual) is a ritual that bases itself on hunting, specifically human prey, one who proves him or herself for this ritual is to burn their prey at the stake. This way, one proves him or herself that they are in excellence of hunting. Kkhor Ritual The Kkhor Ritual (The Slaughter ritual) is a ritual performed before other men and women of the tribe to prove yourself capable of killing. No one can get through the ranks of the tribe unless you are an able killer. Thraahk-na shamans praying in their native tongue. The language they speak is often said to be unintelligible and is therefore not able to be understood by other humans unless they have dedicated themselves to learning the language. The language is called “Thraahk-na”. The language is often described as a language inspired by daemons. Pronounced: "Thraahk-nah" Phonetics: The language has harsh, guttural sounds, with lots of throaty consonants like k, g, r, and kh. Vowels are short and clipped. Syllables are often structured with consonant clusters at the beginning, creating a staccato effect. Grammar: Word Order: Subject-Object-Verb (SOV). The subject comes first, followed by the object, and the verb at the end of the sentence. Tense: Tenses are not overly complicated. There are three: present, past, and future. The future tense is indicated by the suffix -rakh and past tense by -khr. Plurality: Plurality is marked by repeating the first syllable of a word. Example: "Karr" (human) becomes "Karrkarr" (humans). Possession: Possession is indicated by the prefix "Vha-" meaning "belonging to." Example: Vha-Karr (of the human, or human flesh). Vocabulary: Karr = Human (or flesh) T’ka = Bone Graakh = Blood Thraak = To eat / Devour Vharr = To hunt Khrann = Tribe Morkh = Strength / Power Shaakh = Fire (symbolic of ritualistic flames) Rakh = Spirit (in the sense of life force) Kkhorr = To kill / Slaughter Kraahk = Heart (often metaphorical for life or soul) Vorr = War / Battle Vhakar = Victory / Feast (indicating the meal after a successful hunt or battle) Sample Sentences: Thraak Karrkarr Vha-Kraahk. "Devour the humans’ hearts." Vha-Vorr Thraak'na Khrann. "We, the tribe of war, devour." Krrakh, Karr Vharr! "Hunt, human, hunt!" Khrann Vha-Morkh. "The tribe’s strength."

"Should've prayed since hoping always fails. Too late." Said a certain man, Reynaud de Rosius, who was in a similar place.

"I will always remember you as my dear brother, an example for us all. A man with the greatest ambition and the strongest of hearts. May our ancestors welcome you for your fearlessness, my brother. Recquiescat en pace." Albert-Goulielmos, the new Head of the House of Rosius said.

THE HISTORY OF HOUSE DE ROSIUS THE POLITICIAN DYNASTY “Ambition will never stop us from doing anything, anywhere.” Authored by, Albert-Goulielmos de Rosius TABLE OF CONTENT INTRODUCTION CHAPTER I. THE COMMONER’S MARRIAGE CHAPTER II. POLITICS IN THE HOLY ORENIAN EMPIRE CHAPTER III. THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS CHAPTER IV. REDENFORD CHAPTER V. THE INFIGHTING CHAPTER VI. RESETTLING THE HEARTLANDS VI.I LOUIS I JOSEPH VI.II LOUIS II AUGUST VI.III LOUIS III OLIVIER VI.IV OLYMPE I REGINA VI.V LOUIS IV CASPIAN INTRODUCTION House de Rosius, founded by Philip de Rosius-Rourke, the progenitor of the House de Rosius, as a cadet of its parent house of O’Rourke in the beginning of the nineteenth century. Originally commoners who operated as merchants, whose descendants were later positioned in politics and enriched their popularity of the family. Due to their loyalty and service to the Holy Orenian Empire, they were elevated to nobility. However, in the aftermath of the Brothers’ War, the House was split in two, the senior branch of the Kingdom of Oren retaining the Barony of Rosius and the junior branch receiving the Barony of Valens in the Kingdom of Balian. I. THE COMMONER’S MARRIAGE Philip de Rosius-O’Rourke and Maria Darkwood in their later years It wasn't a wedding of grandiose, but a privately kept ceremony between the small houses of Darkwood and O'Rourke. Afterward, the couple was left on their own with little help from their families, it was what sparked the merchant spirit of the duo. Swiftly kicking off their business as traders, going from one end of the continent to the other. A few months passed when Maria had already been pregnant, being the first of her many pregnancies which were just to come. In approximately fifteen years, the pair had a bustling household of ten children. A year after the birth of the last children, the twins - Anne Cassia and Elizavetta Joanne, the parents had gone on their usual trading journey from which they never came back, thus they were presumed dead. Valent Philip, their second-born son, grieved for a while before realizing that his tears won't help the situation, so the boy asked his paternal relatives for help. His plea was answered with kindness and mercy, as the children were taken under the care of the O'Rourkes. II. POLITICS IN THE HOLY ORENIAN EMPIRE As Arcas went into ruins and the populace of Helena had to evacuate, the Rosius stuck together with the O'Rourkes and moved to Providence. It was few years more, before Valent Philip had ensured himself a job in the Ministry of Justice and later ran for Alderman unsuccessfully. The teenage man managed to purchase an apartment for himself and his siblings, becoming their guardian. Whilst Aboul Jean enlisted in the ISA, but not for long as he disappeared on patrol. The third-born son, Otis Maximilian had found friends in the Josephite Party, leading to his first career in politics as Alderman. Not long after, his older brother followed. The Imperial Diet with Valent Philip de Rosius as its president The Rosius at the time became quite the political influence within the Holy Orenian Empire, a few years later, Valent Philip became the President of the House of Commons within the Imperial Diet. Valent Philip was an example a lot of the Rosius took as a sign to always follow your ambition, whatsoever the cost. III. THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS The Brothers of House de Rosius gathering for a political discussion With many siblings, different directions were inevitable. As one Rosius, Aboul Jean, joined the Imperial State Army, Julius Cesare followed his older brothers into politics, although mainly local politics, becoming an Alderman, as did their younger sisters. These timelines of great ambition however, soon came to a timeline of grief; for the eldest, Valent Philip came to pass not long after his health began to deteriorate and was buried at the Cathedral of Providence, with his family in attendance. It was not soon after the death of Valent, that Julius, as saddened as he was by the death of his older brother, who was a true example for him, that Julius committed suicide in the square of Providence, he was not buried but was instead burned to ashes. Otis, having lost two brothers in a year now, not giving into grievance but continued to pursue the way forward for the betterment of House de Rosius, was soon knighted as a Knight of the Order of Merit, the first step taken towards nobility within the Holy Orenian Empire. Not soon after, the House de Rosius finally reached their goal; nobility. As they were given the letters patent, they were officially acknowledged as noble by Orenian society. The family moved to Redenford, where they established their Chateau. With Redenford being somewhat abandoned, it was then when the now Lord Otis was made Proprietor of Redenford and was responsible for its renovation. IV. REDENFORD With the House de Rosius settled in Redenford, and the base of their family, under leadership of Baron Otis, it underwent a renovation. With help from his own children, his nephews and nieces, remaining brothers and sisters. It was a family initiative to make Redenford a home to all. The nephew of Otis, Philip Hughes de Rosius, a grandson of Valent Philip; who served in the Imperial State Army, had proposed to Elaine Victoria d’Arkent, one of the first noble unions of the family. The engagement was celebrated greatly within the Chateau de Rosius and was the start of a new generation for the family. However, four years later, the wife of Philip was subject to an assassination. While she was with child, a barrel full of canon fodder was placed under the carriage and exploded right in front of the Chateau to celebrate the fourth pregnancy of Elaine. She died at the age of twenty-six alongside the fourthborn of Philip and Elaine. That day was devastating for Philip, and so he raised his three children; Lucius, Genevieve, and Sebastien on his own. The assassination of Lady Elaine Victoria d’Arkent A few years later, Philip remarried with Helena Eleanor de Sarkozy, daughter of Tobias Henry de Sarkozy and granddaughter of the Prince of Sutica, Franz Nikolai, Earl of Suffolk. They had a fruitful marriage and had three children; Franz Henry de Sarkozy, Andrik Valentin de Sarkozy and Octavia Eleanor de Sarkozy. Philip did not want his children with Helena to carry the name of Rosius, for he wanted the children of his first marriage to be in line of succession, and not the children of his second marriage. The daughter of Otis, became renowned for her interest in magery, as heir apparent to the House and to the Barony, she was taught etiquette and the behavior of a true noble lady in her teenage years. It was however not soon that her mother, Claude de Frand would pass away, who suspiciously died quite close to her then husband. This caused Hera to flee and distance herself as much as possible from her father; causing Otis to strip her titles. It was during such circumstances that Philip Hughes decided to join the Supreme Order of Ex. Owyn, taking vows to defend the laity and clergy. It was a surprise for Philip however that his cousin, Hera, was also interested, and so she squired under him and became known as Hera Claude de Rosius Esquire. Not soon after the Order had been dissolved, Philip became a clergymen, beginning as a humble priest, to bishop, to archbishop and he even reached the point of Cardinal of Providentia, a station held by his grandfather Casper Jahan Baelius. As the children of Rosius grew old, so too did Otis pass away, the first noble of House de Rosius and it’s first Knight. Otis was sixty-six years old and was buried in the Rosius mausoleum underneath Chateau de Rosius. V. THE INFIGHTING It was not soon after the death of Otis that there would be infighting amongst the House of Rosius. The House had split in two as the then Emperor and Empress of Oren passed away or went missing; with thinking that the Crown Prince, Prince Peter would reign as Emperor, he was instead slain by his own brother, King Frederick I of Oren after Emperor Philip III and Empress Anastasia I had declared Prince Frederick as their heir in their will. A part of House de Rosius sided with Prince Peter, and then on the other side there was King Frederick I, the son of Emperor Philip III and Empress Anastasia I, it was the Rosius members under Hera who sided with him. Little was only known that Hera had two sons by Joseph Clement Sarkozic, Baron of Pompourelia who was in fact married to Catherine, the Princess Imperial. The sons of Hera, Louis Joseph and Emir accompanied and supported their mother against those who wanted to take the titles and overthrow Hera as Head of House de Rosius. Louis Joseph de Rosius and Emir de Rosius in their childhood years. Hera chose her eldest, the then teenager Louis Joseph to negotiate with the other side of the House to stop the infighting, and they capitulated and acknowledged Hera as the matriarch of House de Rosius. It was however with the promise of the House of Rosius in Balian being able to maintain independence and choose their own local head of the household; as cunning and manipulative as Louis Joseph was, he gave them a promise, however; a false one. With the right momentum, Louis made sure that his family on the other side were forced to take another name and to exclude them from ever joining the House of Rosius ever again. He marched out with a band of Rose Guards and took back all the artifacts that belonged to the rightful matriarch. Louis Joseph at the age of seventeen, confronting his pretender kin in Balian and taking back all the artifacts which originally belonged to Hera Claude, Baroness of Rosius. While being raised in the County of Mardon, the County that first belonged to King Frederick I, with the fall of the Kingdom during the Acre Rebellion, and the establishment of the Harvest Confederacy, Hera passed away. Leaving her two sons alone in lands filled with turmoil. VI. RESETTLING IN THE HEARTLANDS LOUIS I JOSEPH Louis I Joseph, 1st Marquis of High Peak, 1st Count of Beaufoy, 3rd Baron of Rosius, 1st Lord of Mont Louis,1st Lord Commander of the Rose Guard, 1st Protector of Arentania, 5th Head of House de Rosius However, as the Harvest Confederacy dissolved, there was an ambitious man, Prince Charles Leopold Alstion, Lord of Alba who wanted to create a Kingdom, and so he, the prince, succeeded. With Louis Joseph seeing a future in the Heartlands, he made a return to his native homeland. He engaged in various talks of returning to the Heartlands and promising the Prince to bring as many lost Heartlander nobility back to the Heartlands; a promise he kept. It was then when Louis Joseph, the then Baron of Rosius, was elevated to Margrave (Auvergnian: Marquis), establishing a great fortress upon the Arentanian mountains and naming it after himself to leave a legacy; Mont Louis. Louis was known to be manipulative and cunning at times when threats against his family were made, according to various sources of the Rosius librarians, a man who would lie in the face of someone and be the cause of something hazardous against someone else just to make sure that his family is safe. It was there where he married his cousin, Philippa Adelaide de Rosius, who died at the birth of their thirdborn. They had three children; Louis August, Adrien Clement and Joseph Antonius. With the death of his wife, he soon remarried to Lucrece Ysabeau, Marchioness-Consort of High Peak, another cousin of Louis; the two had three children; Otis Philip, Charlotte Ulyssa and Lucia Augusta. As Louis Joseph was thirty years old, he began to develop an interest for philosophy; he developed a political ideology named in honor of his House; called Rosianism which promotes the ideals his family stood for. He often accompanied the then crowned King of Aaun, Charles I during meetings and became one of the very few Rosius in history to ever train soldiers to defend a Kingdom. With his children getting older, and himself too, he decided to voluntarily lock himself in the chambers of the catacombs of High Peak, deciding to live in constant meditation for wisdom and write everything down. It was there where he passed at the age of fourty-six, leaving his son Louis August to inherit as Louis II. LOUIS II AUGUST Louis II August de Rosius, 2nd Marquis of High Peak, 2nd Count of Beaufoy and Arentaniebourg, 4th Baron of Rosius, 2nd Lord of Mont Louis, 2nd Lord Commander of the Rose Guard, 2nd Protector of Arentania, 6th Head of House de Rosius Louis II August de Rosius, born to Louis I, Margrave of Haute-Epine and Philippa Adelaide de Rosius. Upon his birth, he was the first in line to inherit the Margraviate of Haute-Epine and the House of Rosius. He was named after his father, Louis Joseph to begin a dynasty and succession named after himself. Louis August spent most of his time with his mother while his father was to help King Charles I in affairs regarding the Kingdom of Aaun. Louis August was born on the 14th of Sigismund's End, within the today's lands of the Marquisat of High Peak. From the early days of his life, the affection he had had from his parents was enough for him to realise that they were his only true friends in life, and that the outer world is not to be trusted easily. His relationship with his mother was uncommonly affectionate for the time, as contemporaries and eyewitnesses claimed that his mother would spend all her time with Louis, while his father Louis Joseph was on his political meetings with the then Prince Charles, which would later shape the Arentanian Alps and formalise the Marquisate of Haute-Epine. Both were greatly interested in art and hunting, and Louis likely developed these interests through his close relationship with his mother. Being separated from his father from an early age did not affect Louis emotionally. Their separation taught him that even though his parents are his most loyal friends, they will not be with him forever and that he should prepare himself for upcoming obligations and problems. And so it was, when at the age of fourteen he first took the leadership of the family and the titles he inherited from his father, who fell fatally ill just before his fifteenth birthday. Being a nobleman among many other, much more popular and socially affluent nobles was a task for itself. Louis had difficulty finding his way in politics, with the then situation in Aaun, in the kingdom that started to rise from the ruins of the once grandiose kingdom of Oren, contributing to additional uncertainty. Without an established government, law and army, it was difficult just to start, let alone initiate larger projects. However, all the nobles joined forces and efforts to rise from the ruins to a reformed kingdom, today known as the United Kingdom of Aaun. They succeeded in that, and throughout that story, Louis managed to strengthen himself and channel his efforts into successfully leading a political and family life. The Marriage of Louis II, Marquis of High Peak and Lady Marguerite Adela de Lewes, receiving the blessing of the High Pontiff. In 1907, on the 17th of Tobias' Bounty, Louis II married Lady Marguerite Adela de Lewes, with the ceremony for which the two received the blessing of the High Pontiff took place inside the Basilica of Saint Alexander of Furnestock in New Vienne. Louis and Marguerite had three children; Louis Olivier Etienne, Adela Olympe and Melina Dieuxmont de Rosius. Louis Olivier became the heir apparent to the Marquisat, Adela went to marry the Crown Prince of Aaun, The Prince Henry of Alba. And Melina married a Petran Prince, the Duke of Valfleur, Paul Alexander. Louis August passed away at the age of fifty-seven, and is also buried in the catacombs of High Peak alongside his ancestors. LOUIS III OLVIER Louis III, 3rd Marquis of High Peak, 3rd Count of Beaufoy and Arentaniebourg, 5th Baron of Rosius, 3rd Lord of Mont Louis, 3rd Lord Commander of the Rose Guard, 3rd Protector of Arentania, 7th Head of House de Rosius Louis Olivier was born to Louis II, Marquis of High Peak and Marguerite of Lewes, Marchioness-Consort. He was born and raised in High Peak and was taught diplomacy and politics, a traditional Rosius upbringing. Louis was quite smart when he was younger and developed a taste for politics, though, as according to the mother of Albert, Louis Olivier was quite mysterious has he made frequent but not too often appearances in public. It was therefore the presumption that the mentality of Louis I, who was almost like a recluse, had been passed down. We know very little of the life of Louis Olivier, though we do know that he was able to father two daughters with Isabella Varoche, the daughters were the first of Rosius to have royal blood from a reigning House, the House of Alstion through their grandmother, the Princess Anna Lucilla. The firstborn was Olive-Victoire Dieuxmont de Rosius, the secondborn was Olympe Regina Dieuxmont de Rosius, of which the latter was to inherit the titles and the House. His age and date of death are unknown to history. OLYMPE I REGINA Olympe I, 4th Marchioness of High Peak, 4th Countess of Beaufoy, Arentaniebourgh, 2nd Countess of l’Arbre d’Or and Pacida, 6th Baroness of Rosius, 4th Lady of Mont Louis, 4th Lady Commander of the Rose Guard, 4th Protector of Arentania, 8th Head of House de Rosius Olympe Regina Marguerite Sophie Diexumont de Rosius was the 4th Marchioness of Haute-Epine, commonly known as High Peak, as the successor to Louis III, Margrave of High Peak. At the age of eleven upon inherited, the young peer, after living aboard her grandmother's ship, the Ashford, became the ward of the Queen of Aaun, Amelya of Middelan. As Marchioness of Haute-Epine, Olympe and her husband oversaw the construction of Louisanne, the capital of the March and seat of the Auvergne Council. Olympe was married to Prince Nicodemus of Rudria. The two had six children: Louis-Caspian, Lord of Rosius, Isabeau-Karine, Albert-Goulielmos, Raoul, Desiree-Praxede and Raphael-Simon. Olympe met a tragic end, as she died of a result of diabetes according to the coroner, not a few moments later, her husband was found in the halls of High Peak, hanging from a roof with a toppled chair underneath him, the cause of death was suicide. Leaving six children without parents, responsible for their own upbringing. LOUIS IV CASPIAN Louis IV, 7th Baron of Rosius, 5th Lord of Mont Louis, 5th Lord Commander of the Rose Guard, 9th Head of House de Rosius, Lord Chancellor of the Heartland Confederation Louis IV Caspian de Rosius, born to Prince Nicodemus Jahan of Rudria and Olympe I, Marchioness of High Peak. Following the death of his mother, the then Baroness of Rosius, Louis-Caspian would inherit the Barony of Rosius at the age of 12, a few titles lower than Rosius' initial noble rank due to the slight fall of the house. Louis-Caspian Dieuxmont de Rosius was born on the 14th of Sigismund's End in 1966, to Olympe-Regina Dieuxmont de Rosius and Nicodemus Jahan Basrid. Like most noble children, Louis-Caspian was hailed as the next great ruler of Rosius upon his birth. He was surrounded by extremely learned people, who, in addition to his mother and father, taught him the things that are required of one noble heir. Not long after he entered his first decade of life, Louis began to feel the signs of obligation on his skin, which forced him to replace everyday entertainment with occasional lessons about politics, the military and responsibility, of course, all with the help of his father and family friend Archibald. Louis' mother, Olympe-Regina, was overwhelmed with her responsibilities as a noblewoman, as well as a secret cancer she had been enduring, and not long after Louis's tenth birthday, terrible news arrived within Louisanne's walls. Knowing that she could not cope with the pressure and many obligations, the Marchioness of High Peak was forced to accept the demotion of their title, from the Margraviate of High Peak to the Barony of Rosius. Even though she was forced in a way, she understood that this was necessary and that it was the only right thing to do, in order to preserve the reputation of Rosius, and not seek conflict with the Crown. The situation was obviously difficult enough in itself, the stress was present where it shouldn't have been, which intrigued Louis even though he was just a boy. According to eyewitnesses of the time, Olympe-Regina prepared Louis in time for the inheritance of titles and land, so that probably there would not be any complications afterwards. The climax occurred when Louis' mother, Olympe-Regina, contracted a serious illness, from which she passed away on the 6th of Owyn's Flame, 1980. To make matters more tragic, during one of the other noble families' visits to Louisanne, Louis' father, Nicodemus Jahan Basrid was found hanged on the 28th of Owyn's Flame, 1980 in the hall of the Rosius residence, not long after the death of Olympe-Regina. Witnessing two deaths, that of his parents, must have left a deep mark on Louis' heart, which could be seen long after the initial death of his parents. Leaving the past at least a little aside, Louis-Caspian was warned and taken under the control of their family friend Archibald. Politics got involved in Louis's life ever since he was not even a baron, but after Archibald's vast amount of lectures, politics became one of the integral parts of the young baron's life. Since he was too young, his politics were limited to his room and Louisanne, however, as he got older he got the opportunity to meet certain people of experience and knowledge, including his lieges and relatives, King Charles II and Queen-Consort Hedwig of Aaun, and other members of the aforementioned field. Louis' life took a different course from the moment he received the title of Royal Cupbearer. He saw that there was a place for him in the political scene as well as the scene in general within the Heartlander Confederation, and things began to take shape even more shortly before he came of age. The election for the new Lord Chancellor of the Heartlander Confederation was open and announced throughout the confederation, which once again intrigued and interested Louis-Caspian. Knowing that he certainly did not have enough experience for such an undertaking, he deepened his studies and got in contact with people who could teach him everything necessary, and if he was elected, help him lead the government for the first few months. The desire for politics was stronger than anything in front of him, which could be seen by the effort Louis-Caspian invested in his studies, contacts with noble houses and the organization of events almost every month alongside his sister Isabeau-Karine Dieuxmont de Rosius, bringing various people from various corners of the confederation to one place. His attempt to be elected as a candidate from the Garmont Assembly did not go smoothly, where he was second in the number of votes. However, the Heartlander Council chose young Louis-Caspian as their candidate, and he was given the opportunity to go to the foremost event of the election - the election debate. Three candidates from three sides of the governing bodies presented their agendas, in the end letting the people decide in the only proper way who will be the new Lord Chancellor. On the 8th of Tobias' Bounty, 1984, the people voted Louis-Caspian to become the new Lord Chancellor of the Heartlander Confederation, beating out the competition by a broad margin, so far becoming the youngest Lord Chancellor of the Heartlands. “Our House has seen a lot, has been through a lot and yet, we are still standing.”

THE DEATH OF AN OLD DRAGON SENEX DRACO MORTUUS EST The Death of Father Edmund “The Blind” Amadeus Alstion RECQUIESCAT EN PACE Edmund Amadeus Alstion 1942 - 2009 Father Edmund passed peacefully after holding a sermon. Father Edmund was sixty-eight years old and was blind. Father Edmund led a life from his early twenties until his sixties in a monastery, he was dedicated to his faith and was utterly dedicated to the Church. Being raised in Whitespire, Father Edmund led a life in part royalty and part clergy. He was mostly raised by his Uncle, King John I of Aaun and Queen Amelya of Middelan, alongside his cousins. They were the only father and mother figure that Father Edmund had in his life. It was at the age of fourteen that he decided to join the clergy as he was inspired by his Uncle since he served as a clergyman himself before taking the burden of the Crown of Aaun upon himself. It was there where Father Edmund truly took his vows as a clergyman and dedicated his entire life to serving the omniscient, omnipotent and omnibenevolent GOD and His One True Church. His last words were “Mother.. Father..” before breathing his last breath. He passed away at a river in Alba, where he was later found by Acolyte Filippos. FATHER EDMUND’S WISHES I. For his body to be placed into a glass casket somewhere within the Abbey of Saint Catherine, his place of worship. II. For his personal belongings to be burnt, and for his pocket pouch of Holy Water to be given to Edward I, Prince of Alstion and Cecily I, Princess of Alstion to be given to their heir and their heir’s heir.

To gather Christians of LOTC † With Christmas coming nearer I thought it would be good for those who celebrate Christmas out of the Christian tradition to come together and be involved in a discord server altogether. Hebrews 10:24-25 “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing near.” Which is why I created this discord server where you can have inter-denominational respectful dialogue, read and request bible verses from a discord bot, send prayer requests and pray for anything - and even a channel for potential notes of Bible study. And of course during Christmas we can have some fun there as well I pray that brothers and sisters in Christ can find a way to come together. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. :) Click here for the Discord Invite!

THE CANONIST NEWSSHEET Words of Father Edmund “The Blind” of Alba Written by Monk Filippos of Trabzon 3rd of Tobias’ Bounty, 2006 The Canonist Newssheet is a missive based in Alba that is used to reach the hearts of more Canonist people who can not attend mass or for those who seek the truth but have not yet found it. In The Canonist Newssheet, are the words of Father Edmund, a priest who spent fourty years in a monastery before returning to his native homeland, the Heartlands. The purpose of this newssheet is to spread sermons by missive so one can pray more often with the prayers provided and to open up their hearts to the faith of Canondom. PRAYER O’ GOD Protect your flock from the deceiver who tries to tempt us into his world of darkness. Enlighten our hearts and our faith in You. Protect us against his servants, the daemons, and make our faith as a sword who cuts down all that stands between us and the heathen, o’ GOD. Give us the power to resist the temptations that are blockading the worship of You, Lord GOD. In nomine Dei, et Horenus, et Exaltus Honorem. Amen. Sermon on the Sovereignty of God in the Realm of Canondom Brothers and Sisters in Canondom, Today, we gather in unity to honor the Infinite and Eternal One, the Creator whose wisdom is unsearchable and whose power knows no bounds. We reflect not on ancient texts or borrowed traditions but on the universal truth that binds us all: the undeniable presence of GOD, the supreme force that governs all existence. In Canondom, we recognize GOD as the architect of order and the wellspring of meaning. God is the flame that ignites our spirits, the ocean that cradles our essence, and the wind that whispers purpose into our lives. GOD is not distant but dwells within the heart of every being, connecting us in an eternal network of life, love, and purpose. God as the Source of Creation Look around you—the heavens stretch infinitely above, the earth cradles us in abundance, and life teems in an endless symphony of diversity. All of this is the expression of GOD’s boundless creativity. Each star in the night sky and every breath we take is a testament to GOD's sustaining presence. Creation itself is a living hymn, singing praises to its source. In Canondom, we honor this by living in harmony with the world, recognizing it as a sacred gift. God as the Guiding Light In moments of doubt, GOD is the compass that points us toward truth. In times of trial, God is the fortress that shields us. But God does not merely offer protection—GOD inspires action. The presence of GOD calls us to stand firm in virtue, to seek justice, and to extend compassion to all beings. We are not passive spectators in this world but active participants in the divine plan, working together to manifest GOD’s love in our deeds. God as the Unifier The essence of Canondom lies in our shared commitment to GOD’s unity. While we may walk different paths, we are all threads in the same divine tapestry. GOD does not favor one over the other, for all are cherished, all are chosen. This understanding calls us to transcend division and to embrace each other with open hearts, knowing that our diversity is a reflection of GOD’s infinite imagination. Living the Faith of Canondom What does it mean to be a follower of Canondom? It is to live each day as an offering to GOD, to act with integrity, and to seek wisdom in all things. It is to celebrate the sacred in the ordinary—to see GOD’s fingerprints in the laughter of a child, the rustling of leaves, and the rhythm of your own heartbeat. It is to commit to growth, to kindness, and to the unyielding belief that we are all part of something far greater than ourselves. Closing Call to Reflection As we depart from this gathering, let us carry with us the light of GOD that burns within. Let us be reminded that every choice, no matter how small, is an opportunity to honor GOD. Let us walk in the understanding that we are never alone, for GOD is with us—in every sunrise, every challenge, and every triumph. May the spirit of GOD guide you, may the love of GOD enfold you, and may the peace of GOD sustain you as we journey forward in faith and fellowship. Go now, Children of Canondom, and be the living expression of GOD’s presence in the world. In nomine Dei, et Horenus, et Exaltus Honorem. Amen. PRAYER FOR PROTECTION O’ GOD, Our refuge and strength, You are the eternal light that guides us through the shadows. In Your wisdom, You see the schemes of the deceiver, And in Your power, You shatter his lies. Shield me, O’ GOD, with Your truth, Guard my heart with Your unwavering love. Let no deceitful word take root within me, And let no false path lead me astray. Surround me with Your presence, For in You alone is safety found. Strengthen my faith, That I may stand firm in Your light, And walk boldly in righteousness. O’ GOD, Protector of the faithful, Deliver me from the snares of the Deceiver, And grant me the wisdom to discern Your voice Above all else. In nomine Dei, et Horenus, et Exaltus Honorem. Amen.
