Cardinal Teodosio approves of the service upon hearing the news looking at his missing left arm.

A public response is penned to the King of the Barrowlands, To the most esteemed King of the Barrowlands, It is with deepest reverence and humblest submission that I take pen to parchment to address your inquiry regarding the venerable relic that depicts the fabled duel between your illustrious ancestor, Harren, and the the father of the uruk people, Krug. I would be remiss if I did not express my profound admiration for your own legend and feats of glory. You are a shining exemplar of a noble monarch, a model of wisdom, chivalry, and piety in these turbulent times. Your unwavering commitment to the precepts of faith and your unflinching defense of your people's liberty and well-being are truly an inspiration to all who seek to follow in the footsteps of a true warrior. As Vice Chancellor of the Canonist Church, it is my sincerest desire to provide your Majesty with the fullest measure of erudition and guidance, and to do so in a manner most pleasing unto the eyes of the Almighty. It is my most holy duty to inform you that while we are most delighted to grant your noble people access to the aforementioned relic, it is our most solemn obligation to rectify any and all misapprehensions regarding the duel, however well-intentioned they may be. Indeed, the Canonist Church upholds the tale of the Krugin Targe as the only veritable account of the fateful encounter, for it provides profound evidence as to why Harren will march alongside Horen in the final days of our existence. Your venerable ancestor, and Horen's eldest son, Harren, was a complex and troubled figure, burdened by the weight of his father's murder and the bitter memories of his homeland's loss. Although his actions later were undoubtedly regrettable and unbecoming of a pious ruler, we must recognize that Harren was driven by a fierce determination to reclaim what he saw as his birthright and to avenge the wrongs that had been inflicted upon his family. Unlike his brothers, who chose to turn a blind eye to the injustices that had been done to them, Harren bravely took up the mantle of his family's cause and fought with all his might to reclaim his rightful place in the world. In this regard, his legacy is one of great fortitude and sympathy and we must strive to remember him not only for his failings but also for his many noble qualities and accomplishments. Yet, it is imperative to note that the cherished policy of the Canonist Church must be held inviolate, and we must avow that the notion that Krug was slain in the duel is a grave error. According to our most venerable records, Krug lived long beyond the reign of Horen, Harren, and even Owyn, and although he, by this account, seems to have lost the duel to your most illustrious ancestor, he survived the ordeal and can only be imagined as emerging a transformed figure, purged of some of his innate pride and untamed ferocity that had led him to wage such a fratricidal warfare against the humans. It is evident, at least from the account of the Krugin Targe, that Krug lost the duel not due to a lack of martial prowess, but rather due to some desire of atonement for his previous transgressions against his own kind. Nevertheless, that should not dismiss Harren of a certain courage in confronting his father's killer when few else would. Krug and Harren's depictions by Antero are a reminder to us all that even the greatest of our foes can be redeemed, and that forgiveness and compassion are the hallmarks of our faith, and why Krug will walk with Horen and even Harren in the final days. With all this said, it is with great eagerness and anticipation that we await the opportunity to reveal this sacred relic to the people of Barrowton, so that they too may take pride in their noble heritage and the illustrious deeds of their forefathers. And who knows, if the High Pontiff-elect deems it fit, perhaps the relic may one day be turned over to your royal custody, serving as a symbol of the enduring friendship and mutual respect that exists between our great nations, and a shining testament to the unyielding spirit of the holy Canonist Adunians. May the blessings of the Exalted be upon you and your noble people, most reverent King. With deepest piety and respect, The Vice Chancellor of the Canonist Church.

SEDE VACANTE PUBLISHED BY THE PONTIFICAL CHANCERY On the 15th of Owyn's Light, 1920 The Arms of the Canonist Church under Sede Vacante It is with the utmost sorrow that the Mother Church announces the passing of His Holiness, Pontian IV. On this day his Holiness passed whilst enjoying his favorite pastime of fishing upon the Reden River. Enthroned in the year 1886 and passing in 1920, his Holiness reigned for thirty four years where he served Canondom with virtue, dedication, kindness and compassion. He accomplished many goals during his time, the foremost being the modernisation of the Church. THUS, With the passing of the Holy Father, the Church of the Canon hereby enters the position of “Sede Vacante”, otherwise named “The Seat Being Vacant”. We pray to God, all the Exalted and the Saints, that He will grant wisdom to our College of Cardinals to choose a successor that is pleasing to Him. We pray that our new Pontiff be protected from the evils of sin, from greed and gluttony, from pride and selfishness. Rather, may he be a benevolent shepherd to the Canonist flock, guiding all the faithful through the troubles of our world, remaining obedient to God, serving as a light for those stuck in darkness. The funeral for his Holiness will be held in one Saint’s Day time by Patriarch Iosif within the Basilica of Saint Heinrik in Karosgrad. All those of the Canonist faith are welcomed to attend, more details will be announced shortly. Following on from the funeral, two days of mourning will occur before the Cardinals will be summoned to conclave to elect the new High Pontiff of the Church. ON BEHALF OF THE CHURCH OF CANON In Domini Nomen Oramus, Teodosio Cardinal Tyria, Vice Chancellor

PROCUREMENT OF A MYTHICAL RELIC THE KRUGIN TARGE The 23rd of Owyn’s Light 1920 On behalf of the Canonist Church and the Pontifical Estate, I hereby announce the recovery and translation of the Krugin Targe. This item is a notable relic of Adunian origin reclaimed by the Pontifical Estate during the Schism War centuries ago, but the full story of such a relic was not understood until recently due to its inconspicuous nature. For centuries, the shield had been left in the pits of our pontifical reliquary, overlooked for other religious items of import, before one of our chamberlains noticed that it possessed a thin, fine script that sheds enormous light onto one of the eras depicted in our holy Scroll of Gospel. With the help of Balianese Harrenite scholar, Mr. Theobert Napier of the Royal Balianese Academy, we present these findings to the Canonist world, eager to share the account of Antero, witness to the legendary duel between Harren, son of Horen, and Krug. Vice-Chancellor, Teodosio Cardinal Tyria The Krugin Targe is a High Adunian targe found at the base of the River Petra. The shield is marked with Old Harrenite script in rings around its center, separated into three sections by rings of iron. It details the Krugin Kohde, a saga of Harren’s lieutenant Antero of Alduun, who claims to be one of many bystanders in the desert of Kramoroe that bore witness to Harren and Krug’s mythical duel. THE OUTER RING The words of Antero, rider of Alduun, the son of Garavion and Ealasaid Elfblood: Here I carve my witness of the kingly deeds of Harren Horenson and his sorrow at Kramoroe. On that day I ought have died. Therefore let this targe be set upon my breast, that I may plead my long life worthy before God and my shade not rise to trouble my kin. Our kingdom was the mightiest in the four corners. We rode on swift and handsome Wildewynne steeds. Their like shall never be seen again, for they were the grandchildren of those made when the world was new. All things are as such in our time. We are the children and grandchildren of those who came first. Our king kept the richness of those days in his heart, yet he raged too greatly at their loss. Ever we mourned the death of the Horen Allfather, who was struck down by the thralls of Krug, the King of Orcs. We still reckon our years from that kinslaying. It is the word of my sire that then, with thunder, the heavens were set to their turning. Our king mourned Horen Allfather greatest among us, for that King of Man was his trueborn father. The soul of Harren Horenson felt all things as such. He mourned greater than any man, and made merry greater as well. He had the richness of the world in him and the blood of the prophet. Therefore we rode our steeds out of the mother of forests into Kramoroe, where Horen Allfather once ruled. Our king would take no weregild for that loss. We had reaped our payment from the necks of Krug’s folk for many years, and here their last stronghold brooded upon the bones of our forefathers. The greenfolk rambled and raced riot in the roads before us. We ran them down as a steed tramples on the turf, and we took back the tall towers of Aemon and Daemon. My heart reveled in the rightness of it. There was revenge for Horen Allfather. Many fastnesses had fallen in our foray into this land, and never before had the King of Alduun forsook the feasting and mirth of plunder. But he did not drink with us on that day. He was dreadful and deft-handed, delighting in the deaths of our foes. His eyes sought not for plunder but only for his uncle, the murderer of his father. So we took no more drink, and we left off our ransack and the reckoning of riches. Few watchmen were set over what we had won. Harren Horenson took up his hammer, and with our host he rode to the leanest length of the land of Kramoroe, where two seas crashed upon the crags and howled at the heavens. THE MIDDLE RING There was Krug Brother-Butcher, who we beheld as twice the bulk of any orc. Our king was not the tallest of Horen’s line, yet he was the loftiest among us and the liveliest of soul. But here between the edges of the seas, the great soul of Harren Horenson went out of him. I am not wise enough to say what that sight meant. But in my mind I have called it the sorrow of Kramoroe which I hew upon this targe. Let my telling be true before God, that my shade may not rise: The King of Alduun came down off his steed and brought his hammer up in a threat, and beckoned for his uncle to come forth. The King of Orcs laughed at him, and the last of his orc-fighters glared ahead and shoved each other, wishing to witness this kingly clash. The men of our side did as well, though we more worried than them. The Orc-King said to him “Harren Atheling, well-done! You’ve thrown back my warbosses and wrecked this old waste. You are come many years from whetting my weapons while I wiped out the imps of the Great Liar, many more from carrying my water and roasting my rations. Is this the day you become the hero Horen was?” Our king was filled with rage. Many times we had seen this with great dread, but on this night we grieved and were sorrowful. Once the rage of Harren Horenson had seemed to us the rage of the old days, the anger put into our hearts at the start of things. But now he faced Krug the Kinslayer, son of the first man, who had fought the Great Liar and lived before the reckoning of years. Yet our king was not dismayed, and even today I still love him for this. The King of Alduun cried out “You speak his name as a brother and a man of his household, even as you stand upon his spilled blood. It was in this land he fell unfairly to your thralls. To kill the Father of Man in his sleep! You have no honor.” Now Krug King-Killer’s soul awoke before us, and we saw the rage which once struck down the Great Liar. He said to our king “Since that bad chance I have not trusted the work of a thrall. Yet the dishonor is not mine, but my brother’s, for he fell to mere harriers sent only to drive him to me. The missed glory of that fight is still fixed in my mind.” Our king hefted his hammer, and spake “And mine as well, for my father ought’ve bested you, had you a shred of honor. Now that glory is my birthright; come and give it to me, thief.” Now Krug shifted to a bearing of battle and steadied his stance. His soul awoke before us, for his rage had once struck out at the Great Liar. He spread his shoulders wide and spoke to our king “It can only be taken.” With a snarl, he continued on. “Have you the strength? The last we had sparred, in your father’s war camp, you trembled like a boy, Harren Atheling.” And Harren Horenson returned “This is no spar.” He spat into the sea, and ran forth. They fought a fearsome fight. THE INNER RING The sand was slick and the shine of the moon was only a sliver, yet these kingly two did not stumble or slip. They both struck out with the wrath of years, as do wolves of the same father. Now I must carve what I have feared to say in my life, and have dreaded all these days to put upon my death-targe. Yet I cannot carry this knowledge into the endlessness of death. Thrice was Harren Horenson overcome, and thrice he ought have died as well as I. Yet the Orc-King stayed his own spear, or it seemed that he could not strike true. His soul had tired before his strength. It seemed as such to me, but I could not ask the other men, even in the seasons since. Each time, the kings split and slammed each other back into the hordes of their own men, and their speech was that of spiteful sorrow. The Orc-King said “You have my brother’s bearing, but not his soul! There is more of me in you, for I taught you this bloody way. Horen, his heart suffered even at the slaughter of imps! I do not know whether to slay you or slap you on the back.” And this first time, the King of Alduun did not speak, but only grunted and spat blood into the sea. The second lull it seemed that Krug was sullen, and nearly showed his neck to Harren Horenson. But he did not. Instead he said “I am glad almost, to see your father’s face upon you, for now I see it full again but for those few bruises. Last I saw that face, ‘twas choked and bloodless; the neck of my goodly brother girded with goblin’s gripping hands.” He shuddered, uttering “It’s all I’ve known these nights, since my spotters spied your coming. Yet now I know it anew.” Harren Horenson was truly roused. He ripped at his raiment and raved, heaving his hammer hand “I wish that I should say the same, but there is nothing of my father’s fairness in your face. It has the fangs of a beast!” Now they tore at each other with such might and hate, it seemed as if the stars would slip from the sky. The men of both sides shrank between the cleaving of the kings and the cresting of the sea-swells. Kramoroe would sink before one threw down the other, and the kings were cast back at last. Our king called out, his mood calmed, “I may’ve little of my father’s friendly heart, yet still enough to forgive his brother for his sake. Soon his ruling wreath will rest upon my brow, and I will wash your wounds in holy waters, if only you will swear that you rued his killing.” But Krug shook his head, for he did not believe such a thing could ever be. He ran forth into the fray and for the third time he nearly felled our king. Yet again, Krug could not help but stay his own hand, and he growled at the King of Alduun, “My hands are stained with blood now, and I have only blood to wash them! I will not swear I rue his killing, but only how it was done. Curse my foe-hearted thralls! Gladly I would have bested Horen, but only in the honor of such a feud as this. Surely our father’s Maker could not–” This time Harren Horenson did not wait. He brought his hammer down upon the throat of Krug the Kinslayer, his own uncle. His body fell into a ravine, and Kramoroe was won, and the sorrow was finished. This is the witness of Antero of Alduun, be it true before God. Let me be reckoned worthy.

Cardinal Teodosio gasps very loudly, "Feckin lizard lovers."

Cardinal Teodosio sighs, "A man gone too soon. GOD rest his soul."

PEACE AND BLESSINGS PONTIFICAL LETTER WRIT OF LEGITIMISATION Published by the Vice-Chancellor in the name of his Holiness And as I have ordered the estates of the earth, so have I ordered your path as well, and established the powers of My world. - Scroll of Virtue 5:6 Most Beloved Brethren, Health and Pontifical Benediction. We write this declaration from Our most Holy Office to announce the legitimation of Caius Godwin Jrent into the House of Alstion. Talks have been held with both his Royal Majesty Charles I and his Royal Highness Prince Emil Caius, who fathered the child, about the approval of the legitimisation and terms set by the Mother Church. Prince Emil under his own volition already conducted years of penance for his sinful act. Though he fornicated out of wedlock and fathered a child, it pleased us to see the man realize his shameless acts and sort to right himself by GOD of his own accord. As his penance he spent thirteen years on the sea in solitude where it was only him and GOD, and it was on GOD himself whom he was dependent on to survive. Finally as further punishment, terms have been set by the Mother Church. If the legitimised bastard Caius Godwin Jrent is to have any future children, then one of his flock must be indebted to the Church to serve GOD.

"Still haven't seen you turn up for the education offered by the church," grumbles Teodosio to himself.

Teodosio thinks this is great news! Afterall Balian is only a recent nation without any reference to any ancient civilisation at all he thinks sarcastically.

Thinks it isn't a push for apostasy but the revealing of ancient history. "Eh but what should I know? Maybe we don't educate the masses of the past at all."

Philip's Golden Skull - Philip's skull upon death was gilded in gold. House History: The first head of the House of Galbraith was Edward Galbraith, a man marred with controversy. As a result of growing discontent of Galbert publicly and in the Cabinet after two impeachment inquiries, in the year 1781, Edward's wife wrote a letter to him on behalf of herself and the rest of the family, disassociating them from him, through excommunicating him from the family. Resulting in the murder of Edward After this period of instability the headship of the family fell to Sir George Galbraith, of whom worked diligently and furthered the House in terms of his career however it is argued by many that due to his lack of notice of the familial side he was unable to bear a suitable heir. As a result of this Sir Robert Galbraith became head of the family, a different man from the previous two, he was not focused upon the bureaucracy of the Imperial Government and instead poured his focus into the Imperial State Army. Through this outlet he reconnected with the families’ origins and pressed on to ensure peerage for both himself and his house resulting in the title of the Baron of Rivia and later Viscount. Originally a small fortification the Viscounty later grew to an immense size yielding the Galbraiths a levy of 2500 men in war during the time of the Brother’s War. This growth was largely a combination of the work of both Viscount Philip Galbraith and Duke Charles Antonius Galbraith. The latter, a claimant of the Duchy of Cathalon during the Harvest Revolution. The power of the Viscounty began to wane during the Acre Rebellion after the death of Duke Charles Antonius who was felled during a confrontation with the Baron of Acre in the fortress of Kaer Coch. Soon after Lucius of Rivia assumed leadership within the Viscounty. Before long however Lucius, fled to the South to Balian seeing the eventual downfall of the Kingdom of Oren and sought a new life for the family taking his familial line to Balian. Eventually Lucius after swearing fealty to the Grand Duke at the time was given the title Baron of Castelorena. After a period of illness this title was passed to Lucius’ son, Carles Galbraith.

PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE A manuscript of the translation process of the 2nd Lothar Stone Munx Gregoriana - Kyrie IX (Cum Jubilo) TRANSLATION OF THE 2ND TABLET: THE WHEEL Unveiled to the people of Balian 8 years past, the second of the Lothar stones were discovered. The tablet depicted an open-handed woman of regal stature followed by a wall of text only to be believed was Old Bathalite, a script similar to non-Dragaari Flexio. Teodosio Cardinal Tyria took it upon himself to translate the text for the people of Balian, being the most fluent in modern Flexio due to his position within the Mother Church. In the first year of study Teodosio sat down within the Basilica la Sorella by himself accompanied with a wealth of Flexio journals, dictionaries and other learning aids he once used as an acolyte years past. He struggled at first trying to get a grip of the differences in the Flexio, but remained resilient and persisted forward. Unfortunately it was not meant to be but a valiant effort by the Cardinal saw him come close and allowed for there to be a foundation of words he successfully translated, hoping to ease the process the next time round. The second year of study wasn’t too fruitful either for the Cardinal. No progress was made at all , it felt like he actually regressed and the previous year’s work was pointless. Instead, the Cardinal took to the nearest wine bottle. Onto the third year of study, the Cardinal gathered the help of Ledicort Vuiller. An important figure within the city but most importantly the man had learnt some Flexio within his youth. Would two minds be better than one in this task? Unfortunately for the pair the next three years were filled with strife and failure! However, some key points were translated. The Old Bathalite culture referenced a symbol of a wheel, a chariot driven by two wheels, faith and state. Reference to the Pact of Asoith was also translated and the migration of the Balian people to a new home to which they forged themselves a prospering Empire was all successfully translated. Three years of failing took its toll on the pair. They were starting to get somewhere, key words and points being translated but the majority of it still didn’t make sense. In their frustration, the tablet was accidentally chipped. Finally at the start of this very year 1912, the tablet was finally translated. Perhaps the Cardinal’s prayers were answered at long last. Everything started coming together and the grammatical differences between Old-Bathalite and Flexio were becoming clear. Success at last, the pair celebrated in their accomplishment being able to fully grasp what details the tablet held, the founding myth of the Bathalite civilization. At last the tablet had been translated and ready to be revealed to the public. HIS EMINENCE, Agent-General of the Clergy, Cardinal Teodosio Tyria

Longbows and Field Archery - Castelorena An introduction to longbows and a game of field archery Image of old Rivian longbowman during a conflict Dear people of Balian, The Baron of Castelorena has seen fit to train those who are of able strength and young age the art of using a longbow. The longbow is a formidable art of war when used to its strengths. However, not everyone can master a longbow especially those of higher draw weights of over 100lbs, even reaching an impressive 180 lbs. A training session in the basics of longbow archery and information regarding the Galbraith Yew Longbow will be taught. To become a master however, will take you years of training to develop your skill and correct physique for such a bow. At the end of the training session a game of Field Archery will be held within the wooded area of Castelorena where you will have a limited set amount of time to navigate through the woods and fire at three different targets at different ranges. The further away you can hit the target from, the more points you gain. Hope to see you all 24th Horen’s Calling 1910.

A CALL TO THE FAITHFUL Canonist Mass, Religious Education and Celebration of St. Rudolph Knights Of Jerusalem Artist rendition of the Basilica La Sorella, Atrus, Balian. Dear faithful of Balian, The Canonist Church invites all those virtuous within the lands to summon the call of piety to attend public mass conducted by Teodosio Cardinal Tyria. The coming year will mark the dedication to St. Rudolph of Markev, Patron Saint of Redemption, Musicians, and Beggars. Due to this the church encourages those attending to wear colours of blue and yellow and bring any musical instruments they own. Performances by the faithful and choir singing will mark such occasions during the meeting of the laity. It is also encouraged that the population of Balian celebrate the life of St. Rudolph by performing in the streets, picking up a new instrument and giving alms to the poor during the year of dedication. Following on from mass, another class for the children of Balian will be held to educate them further in the ways of Canonism. Hope to see all those faithful attend and celebrate the life of St. Rudolph in the coming year and mass on the 24th Tobias Bounty, 1910. Teodosio Cardinal Tyria Bishop of Tyria

Teodosio would read over the so-called thesis chuckling to himself, "Ah ai... Guidance. Would of been a lot easier if snide comments were not constantly being made towards the church. Sets a bad example fer the population when it's leaders and so called Canonist Prince is making these remarks. Rubs off on the population and makes the church feel unwelcomed." He sighs continuing to read over the thesis and comments to himself again, "I fer one am happy to assist in developing an active clergy if the Petrans allows me. They do need help. I would like to set a good example unlike the little help I got given from my superior when I first joined the church in Atrus."

Teodosio Cardinal Tyria slams his head on his desk. "Disgraceful... Idiots... Buffoons... I guess Petra will do anything to stay relevant on the world stage and Sedan is full of Azdrazi harbourers!"
