The Second Diet of Metz, 16th of the First Seed, 1534 On the 16th of the First Seed in the year of our Lord, 1534, an assembly has been held by the Emperor to resolve the doctrinal issue between the Church of the Canon, the Reformist petitioners and the activist James Turnbull. With substantial arguments on both sides it has been decided that the ideology which James Turnbull preaches is hereby considered heresy and outlawed in the Holy Orenian Empire. He and his writings are hence considered under formal Imperial ban and condemnation. The Church of the Canon is confirmed as the religion of the Imperial state, and those who contravene this confirmation by adopting heretical beliefs shall be subject to the full force of the law. The assembled bishops did concede that the High Pontiff and the Church of Canon are not divinely instructed and that only the Prophets of the Faith are. This concession by the Church’s representatives has led the priest Turnbull to recant his heretical writings. Furthermore, the Emperor has decreed that the Church shall only hold theological jurisdiction and hold no secular authority in Oren as he and his entrusted government alone are the singular law of the land, thereby quashing much of the Canonist Inquisition’s jurisdiction to infringe upon the rights of the Imperial nobility. Moreover, the Emperor has instructed the assembled bishops to send a representative to him to discuss the matter of establishing an Imperial Theological Court for the purposes of matters with both a secular and theological nature simultaneously, to be headed by the High Magistrate with two junior episcopal judges to instruct and aid him. The Emperor also sees fit that Bishop Piers be stripped of his titles and henceforth be banished from the Duchy of Istria, having been found guilty in absentia of several misdemeanours against the House of Roswell and the Crown. Similarly, the Bishop of Kvaz has been found guilty and condemned to death on the crime of treason for circumventing and undermining the Emperor’s authority, laid bare in his aid in the escape of Augustus of Alsace and facilitation of an illegal trial. IN NOMINE DEI, His Imperial Majesty John I Frederick of the House of Horen, by the Grace of GOD, Holy Orenian Emperor and rightful Emperor of Aeldin, forever August, Apostolic King in Oren, of Savoy, Westphalia, Kaedrin, Haense, Renatus and Salvus, Defender of the Faith, Grand Duke of Kaedrin, Duke of the Crownlands, Carimea, Erochland, Kingston and Leone, Margrave of Greater Kreden, Count of Felsen, Louvain, Beauclair, Wett and Metz, Sovereign of Humanity and Protector of the Elves, etcetera.

"Would that I not put to death a man so earnest in his conviction to his faith and his people," says the Emperor to himself, anguishing in his decision, "But that has betrayed me even so. Ought I have forgiven him, as the Prophet Godfrey did? Where I have condemned him to die, ought I have pardoned him for contravening my authority? He had a family like any other. No. He was my loyal servant for a time, yes, but he erred in his judgement and betrayed my trust, and for that he must suffer a penalty." "Would that I had that fraudulent blackguard von Pondt in my hands, so I might have punished him instead," he sighed, leaning back in his high-backed chair.

TO OUR BELOVED SUBJECTS, For the good of Our realm, Our integrity, Our conscience and Our faith, Our Imperial Crown cannot and will not accept this petition. To level such requests upon the Emperor, whose power comes from GOD, is thoroughly condemnable, and all those signatories who seek to subvert the Imperial Authority by doing so shall become the subject of Our most earnest suspicions. While such written words do most brutally hurt and wound the sentiment of Our person, that We are a dear friend and ally to His Holiness, who We shall defend until death (So help Us GOD) We do acknowledge the gross excesses, abuses, and immense oversteps of jurisdiction practiced by several such Pontifical agents buried in the midst of the Pentarchy and Inquisition, who We shall not name nor accuse publicly at the minute but for Our Love for Everard Secundus, the Holy Person. To address such corruption, We do hereby summon James Turnbull, who We promise safe conduct and immunity from detainment, to the second Diet of Metz, to be held at the castle of Dour Watch, hosted by the Duke Philip of Istria. We also summon the representatives of the Church of the Canon, and the signatories of this document, to the assembly. There Our Imperial Crown shall hear the cases of the faithful and adopt a binding resolution on the matter of corruption, abuse of power, 'Reformist doctrines' and ecclesiastical jurisdictions. IN NOMINE DEI, Signed, 2nd of the First Seed, the Year of Our Lord 1534 His Imperial Majesty John I Frederick of the House of Horen, by the Grace of GOD, Holy Orenian Emperor and rightful Emperor of Aeldin, forever August, Apostolic King in Oren, of Savoy, Westphalia, Kaedrin, Haense, Renatus and Salvus, Defender of the Faith, Grand Duke of Kaedrin, Duke of the Crownlands, Carimea, Erochland, Kingston and Leone, Margrave of Greater Kreden, Count of Felsen, Louvain, Beauclair, Wett and Metz, Sovereign of Humanity and Protector of the Elves, etcetera.

Disgusting, offensive, and in very bad taste. 1/10

Oh, sh*t, I'm sorry. Sorry for what? Our daddy taught us not to be ashamed of our mud, especially since it's such good size and all. Yeah I see that, your daddy gave you good advice. But seriously this is an absolutely ridiculous piece of lore. It's at the point where I've come to just assume that this is simply an elaborate meme - I don't know how you think this contributes anything to the server's RP. It's just another puerile Bryophite-style (i.e special snowflake) piece of writing with very little utility or even interesting dynamic pushed by the Lore Team to further their own bizarre and unusual agenda.

House Laevyn of Clar Karond Deep within the metropolis of Clar Karond stood the palatial tower of the House Laevyn. It was a horrid construction - an impossibly tall spire built with stones of ashen black, the various designs etched into its surface giving the impression of great claws and spines protruding from the building's sides like some great sea serpent's body. Like everything in the city, it had been built off the backs of slaves. There was blood, bones and even worse things in these bricks. Mythael Locelear Laevyn, an aristocrat of middling esteem in the city, stood stoically within one of the darkened chambers of the tower as a servant dressed him in his khaitan, the traditional dress of a druchii nobleman. His body was a pale milky color crisscrossed with grey scars, his hair and thick, curling beard as black as his cruel and greedy heart. The slaving season had just ended and the previous Vaulkhar of Clar Karond had died while at sea, leaving the hold's Drachau searching for a replacement for that venerable posting. Usually, Laevyn's ambitions would have compelled him to pursue the office himself, but he had other plans this time - plans in the Old World, not the new one. --- Mythael Locelear Laevyn assembles a retinue comprising the majority of his men-at-arms, sailors and indentured servants. He takes his small fleet and begins to sail towards the Empire, the corsair lord seeking an audience with the Emperor, Konrad.

The Diet of Metz, 17th of the Sun’s Smile, 1532 On the 17th of the Sun’s Smile in the year of our Lord, 1532, an assembly has been held to resolve the dynastic feud between the houses Falkenrath and Roswell. With substantial incriminating evidence it has been decided that the disgraced priest Augustus of Alsace, known by his pen-name ‘Thomas Aquinas’, has been ruled guilty on charge of treason; his punishment to be decided by the High Pontiff Everard II himself in conjunction with the Emperor. Guile de Sola, Imperial Champion of Oren and Duke of Istria has been claimed by GOD through fatal complications with the gout. Without a proper heir to succeed, the title has fallen unto Philip de Sola, grandson of Titus de Sola through his eldest son Clement and nephew of the Emperor. The Lords of Istria and or their representatives bent their knees and reaffirmed their oaths of allegiance to the ducal seat. He is also formally betrothed to the Emperor's eldest daughter, the Crown Princess Philippa Maria. Due to the youthful disposition of the newly appointed duke, a regency council has been formed to rule Istria for the interim, until the boy comes of age at 16 in the year 1538. The body of the council is comprised of the following: Vanderus de Sola, youngest son of Titus and President of the Regency Council Almeric Brant, interim Constable of Istria His Right Honor, Arthur Roswell, Count of Pompourelia His Right Honor, Octavius Falkenrath, Count of Laria Her Imperial Majesty Adelheid Horen Finally, while the maintenance of Felsen continues, the Imperial Court of Oren has been temporarily translocated to the keep of Dour Watch, ducal capital of Istria.

Danilo takes a few steps back in fear. "Hello," he offers to the animal tentatively. Its reptilian appearance and fearsome demeanor reminded him of his ex-wife, Tracea.

"I'd be right happy to," offers Danilo with a hearty smile.

"Mhmm!" offers Danilo enthusiastically to the huntsman, "Well, my daddy taught me a few things too, like uh, how not to rip the string, by using someone else's glove, instead of your own hands."

"Yeah, I see that," says Danilo very carefully, his hands still extended in a very nonthreatening manner, "Your daddy gave you good advice."

"Oh, sh*t, I'm sorry," says Danilo, eyeing the bow with some apprehension. He continues to hold his hands up diplomatically.

Danilo tenses up, holding his hands out in a conciliatory fashion.

Danilo moves into the shrubbery, attempting to forage within the dense vegetation or alternately look for another such clearing.

Danilo looks to the forest floor, looking for some kind of animal, fruit or tuber to eat. He swears loudly as the fire dies out.

Danilo offers a curt nod, turning about-face to look for something edible. At home they had called him 'Buffalo Danilo' because of his proficiency in hunting the buffaloes of the Soquelian prairie, so some simple foraging would doubtless be a pushover.

Danilo Saraliev squats idly, prodding at the fire with a stick. Ever since his father, Penyo, had caught him embezzling funds from the machine shop, he had been disinherited and banished to this dreary woodland. He rights himself, looking intently at his travelling companion. "Ya hungry?" he inquires nasally.

How do I decide on my character?
