  6. The Gaashbluuds and allies move forward without any harrying from the opponents forces. The orcs would growl and snarl as they would start infighting for leadership positions in the tribe, as they seem to get annoyed and bored without a fight.. Ubba would be seen commanding the establishment of a siege camp and that the siege engines are to built for the assault on the Snelf city. While Mogroka would sit near the camp fire seeming annoyed at the enemies for not emerging to fight them in the open field "Enrohk um nub pleazed." he would tell the younglings. While the warriors pass the time throwing insults at the snelfs on the walls.

  7. Adrian would shake his head "He died so young.."
  8. "So the Bishops lied to the Emperor then."
  9. The Domains of the realm is a broad community orders of the hierarchically considered culture, recognized. They are occasionally well-known as the three domains: the clergy, the nobility, and masses, and are often referred to by ranking of importance (as the hierarchy was ordained by The Creator) as the First, Second, and Third Domains respectively. In the scheme, The Creator ordained the ministry, which was necessary to adjudge the royalty and nobility, who settled rights on the more esteemed commoners, or burghers; henceforth the common mentions to the peasantry as the Fourth Domain The Monarch Monarchy asserts that an Monarch is subject to no mortal authority, deriving his right to rule directly from the will of the Creator. The Emperor is thus not subject to the will of his people, the nobility, or any other estate of the realm, including, the church but the church also has a large influence on the monarch. ''The reign of Emperor’s is from Me, says the almighty” and from this we may conclude that not only the rights of Human State are established by His laws, but also the choice of individual [to occupy the throne] is a result of His providence. In affirming that the Monarch is answerable only to The Creator, however, emphasize that The Creator will hold the Monarch's actions to special scrutiny, thus balancing an unchallengeable Divine Right with an inexorable Divine Responsibility. Rights and duties of the Monarch is to protect the Human Structure of states, to defend and extend the boundaries of the Children of Horen by lawful means only, to protect and defend the faithful, the weak, the poor and vulnerable, and to protect the Church with the Monarch own life, if necessary. Monarchs privilege: The right to raise nobility The right to raise gentry The right to demand tithe on the marriage of an eldest daughter of direct vassal. The right to demand tithe when his tenants’ heirs inherited their estates. The right of wardship over tenants’ heirs who are minors. The Emperor can control the marriage of his tenants’ widows and heirs meaning he can reject or accept marriages of nobles. The nobles also owe the Emperor a payment called ‘scutage’ in place of military service. The right to establish the Emperor forest and expand it. The right to banish a noble from court as a way to show the Emperor’s displeasure. The right to demand a tithe from his landowners when the Monarch deems it fit. The Monarch has many more privileges that he may wish to use or not use The Nobility There are two major types of vassal; Counts, the junior nobility who generally command single demesnes or maybe a (very) small number of them, and Dukes, who, in addition to their own demesnes, command loyalty from the counts who hold land within the bounds of their Duchy, and who answer only to the king or emperor. This chain of command goes from the minor vassals, the mayors, barons and bishops who command the cities, baronies and bishoprics within counties, who are in turn commanded by the count or duke in charge of the county, with counts answering to a duke or, if there is no duke, answering directly to the Emperor, and finally the Emperor is who the duke takes orders from. Lords privileges:Nobles do not always derive their privileges from just being nobles, but usually privileges were granted with a specific title, office or estate. Nobles often derive wealth from one or more estates, large or small, that might include fields, pasture, orchards, timberland, hunting grounds, streams, etc. It also included infrastructure such as castle, well and mill to which local commoners are allowed some access. Nobles typically command tribute in the form of entitlement to cash rents or usage taxes, labour and/or a portion of the annual crop yield from commoners or nobles of lower rank who live or work on the noble's fief or within his feudal domain. The Lord’s enjoy the following privilege: The exclusive privilege of Hunting The privilege be exempt from paying the taille, the monthly major direct tax. The privilege of council and attend the Imperial Court The privilege to wear a sword and have a coat of arms. The privilege to levy the cens tax. The privilege to ask Weregild, for damages or life taken. The privilege of holding judicial court for minor disputes in their land. The privilege of declaring a blood-feud The right to be tried by other peers of the realm The right to a trial by combat, except on the charge of treason The right of Precedence Duties:However, the Lords also have responsibilities. Nobles are required to honor, serve, and counsel their Monarch. They are often required to render military service or pay ‘scutage’ if they cannot. They are required to protect and hold their lands, and to be fair and protect the commoners that live under their rule. The title of "Lord" is not infallible: certain activities could cause disgrace loss of nobility. Most commercial and manual activities are strictly prohibited, although nobles could profit from their lands by operating mines and forges Noble rights: Jure uxoris: means "by right of his wife" or "in right of a wife".It is commonly used to refer to a title held by a man whose wife holds it in her own right. In other words, he acquired the title simply by being her husband. Suo jure: means "in her [or his] own right". It is commonly encountered in the context of titles of nobility, especially in cases where a wife may hold a title in her own right rather than through her marriage. Banalités: Nobles can charge banalités for the right to use the lord's mills, ovens, or wine presses. Alternatively, a noble could demand a portion of vassals' harvests in return for permission to farm land he owned. The Clergy Clergy is a generic term used to refer to the formal religious leadership of the Faith. A clergyman, churchman or cleric is a member of the clergy, especially one who is a priest, bishop, Pontiff, or other religious professional. The clergy take care of the ritual aspects of religious life, teach or otherwise help in spreading the Faith’s doctrine and practices. Current law prescribes that to be destined a priest, an education is required of two years of scholastic philosophy study, and four years of theology; dogmatic and moral theology, the scriptures, and canon law have to be studied within an institute or an ecclesiastical faculty at a Abby or College. This reflects the academic and scholarly traditions of the Church. Rights Of the Clergy: Right of Canon: whoever commits real violence on the person of a clergyman, commits a sacrilege. Right of Exception: clergy cannot be called for military service or for duties or charges not compatible with their role Right of Competency: a certain part of the income of clergy, necessary for sustenance, cannot be sequestered by any action of creditors The Commoners Bourgeois: The term bourgeois represent a social class that encompass the wealthier members of the Third Domain. If towns are granted self-governance by the Crown, at that point they become referred to as boroughs. The formal status of borough come to be conferred by Imperial Charter. These boroughs are generally governed by a self-selecting corporation (i.e., when a member died or resigned his replacement would be by co-option). Sometimes boroughs are governed by bailiffs or burgomaster. Peasants: The social class of peasant is often broken down into smaller categories. These distinctions are often less clear than suggested by their different names. Most often, there is two types of peasants, Yeomen, whose tenure within the manor was freehold, and villeins. Lower classes of peasants, known as cottars, generally comprising the younger sons of villeins or bordars, and slaves, made up the lower class of workers. Yeomen: Yeomen, or free tenants hold their land by one of a variety of contracts of feudal land tenure and are essentially rent-paying tenant farmers who owe little or no service to the lord, and have a good degree of security of tenure and independence. Villeins: A villein is the most common type of serf in the Empire. Villeins have more rights and higher status than the lowest serf, but exists under a number of legal restrictions that distinguish them from Yeomen. Villeins generally rent small homes, with or without land. As part of the contract with the landlord, the lord of the manor, they are expected to spend some of their time working on the lord's fields. The requirement often is not greatly burdensome, contrary to belief and is often only seasonal, for example the duty to help at harvest-time. The rest of their time is spent farming their own land for their own profit. Like other types of serfs, they are required to provide other services, possibly in addition to paying rent of money or produce. Villeins are tied to the land and can not move away without their lord's consent and the acceptance of the lord to whose manor they proposed to migrate to. Villeins are generally able to hold their own property, unlike bondmen. A variety of kinds of villeinage exist Half-villeins receive only half as many strips of land for their own use and owe a full complement of labor to the lord, often forcing them to rent out their services to other serfs to make up for this hardship. Villeinage is not, however, a purely uni-directional exploitative relationship. Land within a lord's manor provided sustenance and survival, and being a villein guaranteed access to land, and crops secure from theft by marauding robbers. Landlords, even are legally entitled to do so, rarely evict villeins because of the value of their labour. Villeinage is much preferable to being a vagabond, a bondman, or an unlanded laborer. A villein could gain freedom by escaping from a manor to a city or borough and living there for more than a year; but this action involved the loss of land rights and agricultural livelihood, a prohibitive price unless the landlord is especially tyrannical or conditions in the village were unusually difficult. Bordars and cottagers: The status of bordar or cottager ranked below a villein in the social hierarchy of a manor, holding a cottage, garden and just enough land to feed a family. This is between about 1 and 5 acres Bondmen: The last type of serf is the bondmen. Bondmen have the fewest rights and benefits from the manor. They own no tenancy in land, work for the lord exclusively and survived on donations from the landlord. It is always in the interest of the lord to prove that a servile arrangement exist, as this provided him with greater rights to fees and taxes. The status of a man was a primary issue in determining a person's rights and obligations in many of the manorial court cases. Also, runaway bondmen could be beaten if caught. Freedoms: Within his restrictions, a a lower peasant had some freedoms. A lower peasant might accumulate personal property and wealth, and some peasants can become wealthier than their free neighbours, although this is rare. A well-to-do peasant might even be able to buy his freedom. A peasant can grow what crop he sees fit on his lands, although a peasant taxes often has to be paid in wheat. The surplus he can sell at market. The landlord cannot disposes of his peasant without legal cause and is supposed to protect them from the depredations of robbers or other lords, and he is expected to support them by charity in times of famine. Many such rights are en-forcible by the peasant in the manorial court. Peasant served on occasion as soldiers in the event of conflict and could earn freedom or even ennoblement for valor in combat. Peasant could purchase their freedom, bemanumitted by their generous owners, or flee to towns or newly-settled land where few questions were asked. For example a Peasant who made his way to a chartered town (i.e. a borough) and evaded recapture for a year and a day obtained his freedom can then became a burgher of the town.
  10. ((The Azogs are ancient clan, and from the line of Gorkil three Clans came from Gorkils line Gorkil which called themselves after the ancestor and Ugluk and Azog, both the Ugluk and Azog clan fathers were adopted Gorkils until Mogroka told them to restore their ancestral clans to power which were almost wiped out in the clan war. So the three clans are sister clans.)) Mogroka would nod hearing of the news, and says to the Gorkils "Bubhosh latz zhuld welkume da Azogz az da bruddherz dey areh, agh inzult tu dem zhuld be inzult tu both Gorkil agh Ugluk"
  11. A weak statement, the man put Darfey as an old example although he did so wrongly. You think everything you wish can be blamed on Darfey? Like the many unproven and nonfactual allegations made against him? One thing is known during Darfey's time in the Church, the Church rose from a none entity to the strongest power in Oren. And the only reason Darfy is seen as Corrupt and such, is because the Imperial government feared him so much that they plotted against the man that sat them on the Imperial Throne. The sword that killed King Franz was his guards sword not the eighty year old Darfey's. Furthermore the killers of king Franz linage are noblemen today and clergymen. Since the High Pontiff also commented on his infallibility and him being the Vicar of God, I would like to ask who started that?Do you condemn them? The solution is simple, no High Pontiff was ever corrupt or evil, Darfey and Ruglus are smeared because of politics nothing else the Church should revise their statements about both of them. The same way the Church revised its statement about Owyn and Radomir.
  12. Soon, the Imperial Government shall award Knights that distinguish themselves land within the Orenian Marches.

  15. Mogroka pounds his chest as he sounds his horn, as the Baxle Clan joins the tribe, they are welcomed with punches and headbutts to test their strength and then greeted as brother tribesmen. "Gloreh tu da Gashbluudz" he raises a cup of Orcish grog with the rest of the tribe.
  16. A letter was sent and sealed with wax the shape of a stag, sent to the Archchancellors office. "Your Excellency, Titles have never concerned me as much as my duty, but nevertheless for the sake of confusion... Is one whom holds the title Laurir in the Principality of Laureh'lin considered the Patriarch of a house? Or is it a title solely isolated to myself? I seek no extra power of course, but it would be rather nice if I could tell my grand-daughter she was a noble lady, without letting it get to her head, obviously. I suppose it is worth asking." ~Artimec Camoryn, Laurir of the Principality of Laureh'lin "To the Laurir Camoryn, Indeed you are consider part of the Empires nobility and Camoryn is considered a noble house, although you must know being a son or daughter of a noble does not entail power, the power is only in the hands of the head of the House, the title Lady or Lord given to the sons and daughters of nobles, are a courtesy than anything else until they come to lead the House or title of their own."
