" PRAISE GOD! " Said the LEMONHILLERS in unison.

“ PRAISE THE LORD, HE HATH DELIVERED JUSTICE TO THIS PLACE ! “ CRIED OUT THE LEMONHILLERS!

" I'm coming to kill you! " Words echoed throughout the encampment of the Roundtable, a fist slamming upon a cedar centerpiece. Erakles looked to his brothers-in-arms as the day of the Cleansing Fire drew nearer!

Hey Henrycore! Have you ever thought about going to Turkey for a hair transplant?

I haven’t been around long enough to know most of the knightly figures on LOTC, and with the last year a half since I joined there was a notable decrease in honorable or respectable knights at least by way of my interactions with them. If I had to pick someone I interacted with or knew about to be the “best Knight” in recent history I’d have to (I absolutely am not glazing, do not accuse me of this it’s from my interactions) pick Sir Gaspard. Sir Gaspard, despite what fake allegations exist composed by salty individuals about random “mass murders” that seem more like modern political jests at actual tragedies, was a good man. As a noob I was a very lowly noble basically on par with a peasant character and definitely of less status than a rich peasant, and the Duke of a nation dying in war still treated my character with utmost respect, in a way formulating my experience as a noob and permanently aligning me on an OOC level with anything @M1919did. This is not to say that I wouldn’t take conflict with him in character if it made sense but just that I think it was an excellent example of how a Nation Leader should act. Regardless this Knight was put into a position he did not want, in a similar vein to many historical figures, he stood by what he believed in even when it meant that he would be excommunicated. He stood by his people until the Great Betrayal of the Adunian Snake Spy Master Evil Warlock @Noobliuscurse be upon his name that takes all of the treasury to IDUNIA (Satanic Nation spoke about in Revelation) and never harmed innocents. At every roleplay session he would act in a knightly manner and behave according to a code of ethics he set out, he never backed down from a challenge and had a great deal of awesome interactions and quotes. Importantly he never betrayed his code of ethics as most knights I’ve interacted with on the server have. It was a genuinely amazing experience to be Knighted by him alongside my counterpart @FoogThe2stndand an enjoyable time as a noob despite the death of what I called my First Nation. I know Hugh doesn’t care for him much anymore and there are certain people who fangirled him into a Reddit tier meme where liking Sir Gaspard can at some times be on par with the crying Star Wars soy guy but I still hold the character in high regard and his player to be one of the best storytellers on LOTC.

The Hooded Uruk Monk sat at the precipice. He looked below and saw the runners, they as per usual bore bad news. Pausing in what seemed to be silent contemplation, the Uruk let the paper delivered to him drift in the wind; the Onii, his cousins who fought alongside him in two great wars that had seemingly been forgotten, were dead. Those fine men were the first to breach the walls, the first to sign up on the roster… the Blue Onii signed up 5 times alone, despite being told every week he didn’t have to- but he did it because he knew what it was to be diligent. Takemura breaches the Hellfort of Barnsley. Circa 23 Age of Dragons. The former Rexkhan, Emperor of the Uruk, now lowly humble monk of Mount Tylos bid his cousins farewell, in what broken Westerner he understood he said: “Domo Arigato, Brudahs.” He then resolved to commit Seppuku.

PAPAL OPRICHNINA DOSSIER SUBJECT 227 “VLADIM H(J)ORENSKI” Artist Depiction Information compiled 2023. PHYSICAL & BASIC Subject: Vladim Horenski (Jorenski) Status: Fugitive, Exiled Affiliation: Former Sergeant, Kingdom of Haenseti-Ruska Army; Propaganda Commissar; Sanoist Revolutionary Agent Known Alias(es): None Age: 37 Height: 6'1" Build: Lean, muscular Eyes: Grey, blue Hair: Dark blonde, short, unkempt Notable Features: A deep scar running from his left temple to the chin; a distinct tattoo of a red star on his left wrist, symbolizing his allegiance to the Sanoist cause. EARLY LIFE, DIRECT CONTACT WITH SUBJECT Vladim Horenski was born in the northern reaches of the Kingdom of Haenseti-Ruska, in a rural village where the harsh winters shaped the character of those who survived them. His family, poor but resilient, instilled a sense of duty and discipline in him from a young age. He joined the Haenseti-Ruska military at the age of 17, quickly rising through the ranks due to his sharp intellect and ability to command. Initially serving as a common soldier, Horenski's ambition led him to a strategic position within the army, where he began to study revolutionary doctrines. During the Kingdom's struggle against the Holy League that Horenski’s potential began to crystallize. Amidst the chaos of the conflict, he became increasingly disillusioned with the hierarchy of Haenseti-Ruska and the nation's leadership. His fervor for change, combined with a charismatic ability to influence and manipulate those around him, propelled him to the position of Propaganda Commissar. In this role, Horenski became a master of ideological warfare. He utilized his position to spread the seeds of Neosanoism (a perversion of the teachings of Sano, applied to the socio-political landscape of Haenseti-Ruska). Under Horenski’s influence, the Haenseti military's rhetoric shifted, with the soldiers indoctrinated to view their cause as part of a larger global revolution, rather than mere territorial conquest. His speeches were filled with fire and conviction, rallying troops with promises of a new world order rooted in equality, though, in truth, it was an ideology built to destabilize and tear apart the old guard. In the final days of the Kingdom's defense against the Holy League, Horenski's name became synonymous with the failed resistance. His revolutionary zeal had alienated him from those around him, and when the Kingdom's leaders agreed to surrender, many considered him a dangerous figure to be suppressed or executed. Yet, even as the surrender was signed, Horenski’s influence continued to grow in the shadows. Art By Sean_VEVO ESCAPE AND EXILE As the Haenseti army capitulated and its forces were disbanded, Horenski’s position became untenable. Aware of the growing opposition to his radical ideology within the remnants of the Kingdom’s political structure, he attempted to flee to the Ruskan Mountainside, a secluded region known for its rugged terrain and sparse population. From there, he planned to continue his revolutionary activities, likely seeking refuge among the outcasts and militias that dotted the mountain regions. However, Horenski’s escape was thwarted at the Eastern Border, where he was captured attempting to cross into foreign territory. Disguised as a common traveler, he was detained by border patrols after being identified by his distinctive tattoo and a loose description provided by those who had worked with him in his later years. His arrest was a blow to the factions of his former supporters, and his capture marked the end of his brief but incendiary influence over the Haenseti military. Following his capture, Horenski was deemed a dangerous radical and was subjected to a high-profile trial. Due to the international repercussions of his actions, and the delicate political situation between the Kingdom of Haenseti-Ruska and neighboring states, the decision was made to exile him rather than execute him outright. He was sent to a remote foreign isle in the far southeastern reaches of the known world—an isolated place where his revolutionary activities could be curtailed, yet not easily monitored. The island, a bleak and unforgiving place, was intended to serve as a permanent cage for Horenski, far removed from the political currents of the continent. However, rumors persist that he is still attempting to communicate with radical sympathizers from his exile, reaching out to those in the Eastern territories who share his passion for Sanoism. THE OYASHIMAN CONNECTION One of the most troubling elements of Horenski's rise is his unexpected and controversial relationship with the Oyashiman, a powerful and insular samurai culture hailing from the far western lands. The Oyashiman are known for their strict codes of honor and martial prowess, yet Horenski was able to infiltrate their ranks and gain their favor. His manipulation of the Oyashiman for his Sanoist cause drew concern among his allies, who questioned whether his ideals of class struggle could truly align with the samurai’s rigid code. Yet, Horenski’s power of persuasion was undeniable, and many of the Oyashiman warriors were drawn into his fold, fighting not for the Kingdom of Haenseti-Ruska but for a new world order—a world of radical egalitarianism under the banner of Sanoism. CONTINUED THREAT Though his exile might appear to have sealed his fate, Horenski remains a dangerous figure. His connection to the Oyashiman, a network still active in clandestine operations, ensures that his influence lingers in the margins of global politics. Sanoism, under Horenski’s stewardship, continues to be a covert ideological threat, one that could once again rise to challenge established powers should it find fertile ground in the right circumstances. There are rumors that Horenski, though exiled, still sends coded messages to his former supporters. Aided by the samurai of Oyashiman lineage, these agents could emerge at any moment, reigniting his revolutionary mission. The Oprichnina will continue to monitor all communications and any movements from Horenski or his subversive allies. His exile was intended to silence him, but the full extent of his impact on the world’s revolutionary movements may yet unfold. END DOSSIER

ARISE YE SONS OF (J)OREN! Art By Sean_VEVO Penned in the red year 2023. THE SHACKLES OF THE BARBANOV-BIHARS NO LONGER! For far too long, the House of Barbanov has led the people of Rus astray, weaving webs of deceit and false promises. Beneath their gilded crowns and luxurious robes, they have hidden the truth from the humble folk who toil day and night in the fields. They feast while we starve, and with each passing season, our backs grow weaker from the burden of their endless demands. The Barbanovs have bled us dry, using the sweat of our labor to line their coffers and build their palaces, all while the peasants of Aevos suffer in squalor. Their laws, forged in the fires of tyranny, serve only to further enslave us, keeping the land beneath their boots and the bread from our tables. This cruel cycle must end, for the time has come to reclaim what is rightfully ours! As we stand here mining and gathering resources, our King has already forsaken us to sell this country to the bloodhounds of the Pontifical League. Where once Canonism was a great religion, it has been mired in controversies and touched irreparably by Adunian infiltrators, supposed ‘humans’ who do not age and bathe in and drink the blood of infants. To the brave Balianese Resistance, let us aid you in your endeavor to thrust off the yoke of your oppression. Embrace the true High Pontiff of the Canon, Derfey CI, and allow us to come to your shores to resist these servants of the Deceiver. We beseech you not to give in to terror. Honor your people, honor your faith, and allow the other Free Peoples of Aevos to assist you! THE CONQUEST OF THE MINES " . . . Workers will spread the institution of Sanoism, and others will witness our successful society, wishing to advance to the place where we have, as well. I shed a tear of hope when I heard news of Sanoism becoming accepted in various communities, and I shall shed another tear from beyond the grave when the people truly do establish Sanoism, and implore the glory of egalitarianism, military might, the encouragement of entrepreneurship, the establishment of worker’s rights, and overall, the collective advancement of civilization." – Bell Sano, The Sanoist Compendium, To surrender the land of Rus to the Holy States is nothing short of a betrayal, a cowardly stab in the back delivered by the very leaders who swore to protect our land and our people. These false rulers, who have feigned loyalty to the soil of Rus, now turn their backs on us, abandoning our sacred fields to the foreign priests and tyrants of the Holy States. Their pact with these foreign powers is not one of peace, but of submission—a desperate attempt to preserve their thrones at the expense of our sovereignty and blood. By bowing to the will of these distant overlords, they have forsaken their duty to us, the common folk, and stained the honor of our land with their treachery. This is no mere political alliance; it is an open betrayal, a dagger driven into the heart of Rus, and a dishonor to the generations who fought and died to keep it free. We will not forget this act of cowardice, and we will not let it stand! THE PEOPLE’S REVOLUTION We, the true heirs of the land, will rise and reclaim what is rightfully ours—the soil, the harvest, the very breath of Rus. The land does not belong to the tsar, nor to the nobles who have pillaged it for their own gain. It belongs to us, the peasants, the builders of the fields, the tillers of the earth. We shall unite as one, a mighty force driven by the righteousness of our cause, and we will take back the land that has been stolen from us. In the strength of our unity, we will forge a future where no man stands above another, where the sweat of our brows is not exploited, and where none shall kneel to a tyrant or a tsar. Together, we will build a new world—one where all are equal, and the bonds of oppression are forever broken. The time has come for the peasants of Rus to rise, for the land is ours, and no crown, no throne, shall stand in our way!
