THE FINAL WORDS OF A PRIEST Balianese painting of Cardinal Teodosio of Tyria enjoying a goblet of wine Dear Friends, I suppose if you’re reading this I have passed away and now find myself now within the Seven Skies. My health has not been the best in recent years and I spent more time cooped up within my farmstead than doing any duties expected of my position and rank. For that I deeply apologise and hope in my passing you can see I meant no ill will in the neglect of these duties. I was a young man living within Atrus when I joined the Priesthood of Owyn and I never expected to achieve what I had. I only wished to serve GOD, and it has been an honour to serve as Cardinal, Bishop and Vice Chancellor of the Church. There’s only a few things I wish to address in this passing note. To the people of Balian, Continue to trailblaze a future for yourselves. Build on a legacy that has been forged on years of dedication by your Fathers and Mothers. As a young man in Atrus I found myself in a precarious nation, a nation that didn’t quite understand what it was. I believe now that this is not the case and growing older it has been wonderful to see the growth of the nation and especially the growth of Canondom within it. I forged many lifelong friends with the people of Balian, unfortunately most of them have now also passed. I think ultimately that’s what binds Balian together is the friendship and love for each other. I don’t quite believe there’s another nation within Canondom with such unity for each other. Thank you all. It was a pleasure. To Canondom and the Church, As I mentioned previously I never quite expected to find myself in the position I eventually obtained and I thank the peers alongside me that made my duty easier. I hope in my passing someone else from the Church can take up the mantle of running the Church Gala as I took up that mantle from Cardinal Katerina before me. To Canondom as a whole I feel over the past decades great efforts have been made and cooperation between our nations is everso growing stronger. I hope these efforts are not all for nothing and that GODs covenant remains stronger together. Again I thank you all. I must admit as I sit here writing this note it is hard not to get tearful at all. There are so many memories, events and friendships to record down on just a single piece of paper. Maybe one day someone else will write about me… Ha or even open a tavern in my name. I do like my wine. As a final note just remember… Enjoy life, have fun, love each other and remain ever virtuous. Yours Faithfully Teodosio Cardinal Tyria.

Carles begins to ensure his children know this by heart.

THE CHURCH GALA The 4th Gala of the Mother Church In the name of God, The Mother Church wishes to announce the forth Church Gala within the city of Kanunsberg for all of the faithful flock of Aevos to attend and engage with the festivities. The theme for the event will be centred around St. Tylos of Kalden, patron saint of stonemasonry, cavalry and lost causes. Majority of the events will take place outside of the Church of the Holy Auspice and within the festival grounds just outside of the city. The program for the night will go as the following: THE WHITE STALLION’S JOUST (3pm EST) In the spirit of St. Tylos, patron saint of cavalry. The Church will be hosting a joust in his honour and veneration. The winner of the event will earn the prize of a white stallion. THE STONE’S CRAFT (4:00pm EST) It was said at the siege of Reza the saint laid his cloak over a small pile of rocks and the next morning after a night of prayer they had turned into a pile of large stones. As patron saint of stonemasons, the Church calls forth the finest workers of stone in Canondom to display their craft outside the Church. THE EVENING BALL (4:30pm EST) The festivities will conclude with a ball within the castle of Kanunsberg. The theme will be that of a white stallion to symbolise the steed St. Tylos appeared on. Thus the theme is white. The best dressed will earn a 50 mina prize. His Eminence Teodosio Cardinal Tyria.

"I love Canonism," says Cardinal Teodosio.

"The Rivian's do love to gloat about their past," Carles says to himself after the paper is delivered to him. "Though I appreciate the distinction between the two lines of our house."

The Cardinal is pretty sure there's four prophets but it's allowed as the lectors are based.

Cardinal Teodosio was out visiting Aaun when he heard the news. He struggled to find quick safe transport back to Balian. When he returned it was all too late. For a man who is always quite resolved he broke down in tears upon returning to the city. He walked to the Church and sat in there for hours praying for his dear departed friend. "You're with GOD now my dear friend. Up in the Seven Skies."

The Cardinal wonders if she will post him some fine delicious Ba'asi wine he grew accustomed to whilst on an educational visit years ago.

Teodosio thinks to himself that this has already been discussed within the members of the Curia. "Patience is a virtue", he mutters to himself reading the missive.
