A copy of the proclamation passes through Josephine Augusta's office, whereupon she remarks "The world is rife with bandits and traitors as of late. We Canonist realms must surely band together against them."

Josephine Augusta muses to her younger sister "When it was the women of our country being kidnapped and sold at the block in Urguan, those responsible were simply fined and given a warning. If only the dwarves had strung up and flayed the Sedanese like they did these orcs." @Fie

I'll be your first customer! I'm looking for a middle-aged skin for Josephine. She has orange hair in a bun, although it would be either faded or have streaks of white by now, whichever looks better. Her clothes are modest and dark green. Overall, she should look rather severe. I would love it if you could add a monocle--not sure how to do it right on a minecraft skin, though. I sent you $10 for it. Here are some reference images:

[!] A letter is issued from the office of Josephine Augusta to the High Pontiff. @rep2k "Your Holiness, I offer my congratulations on the twelfth year of your reign, as well as my condolences for the harm done to the Abbey of St. Robert. I am writing to Your Holiness concerning the recent 11th Golden Bull of Providence, in which my imperial uncle, John VIII, is asked to seal Edward Napier's career as a consequence of his recent anathematization. Please be assured that the crown remains your faithful servant and brother. I am uncertain as to what action Your Holiness wishes for us to take, however, as Edward Napier is not employed with the Imperial government. Additionally, as the Director of Civil Affairs, I have checked the census records beginning in 1823--there is at present no record of Mr. Napier maintaining residence in the Empire. Your Faithful Servant, HIH The Princess Imperial, Duchess of Sunholdt, KM"

Josephine Augusta mourns a great woman who she knew little, but admired much.

It's a big collaborative writing project!

Josephine Augusta ensures a copy of the treaty reaches the Civil Affairs' public archives, and directs the editor-in-chief of the Providence Post to include a story in the next edition @Urahra. Upon leaving his small office, she remarks to herself "Could it really have ended any other way?"

We love to see it +1

Congratulations, you’ve been accepted! Welcome to Lord of the Craft! A quick note: You will want to update Aalin's background. Laureh'lin was an elven settlement from the continent of Atlas, which was abandoned about a hundred years ago in-character. Elvenesse is from the currently inhabited continent, Almaris. Because Elvenesse is relatively new, Aalin's mother's ancestors are probably not from there. Slight historical inconsistencies like this are okay in applications, but it will help your roleplay experience if you correct them when you begin playing the character.

From the Seven Skies, St. James II smiles the sun's smile.

I’ll miss you babes <3 You come back soon now, ya hear?

Josephine Augusta celebrates with her sister. Her first combat! @Fie

[!] A letter is issued to Cardinal Providentia via courier. "Your Eminence, Hello, I am Josephine Augusta, canon lawyer and Duchess of Sunholdt. I offer you my sincere condolences on the passing of your colleague. Jude II was a friend of my father's and a man of virtue; may he rise to the highest Sky. I am writing to you in my capacity as a canon lawyer, specifically in regards your recent minor bull. While I appreciate your veneration of my grandmother, Anne Augusta, I am concerned as to the legitimacy of this decree. It is not within normal scope of a minor bull to pronounce an individual appropriate for veneration, as this authority is reserved to the High Pontiff. I have included the relevant citations here: Book IV Title IV Ch. 5 §2. Book V, Title I, Ch 3. §1 - §2. I extend these concerns not out of legal pedantry, but merely a desire to ensure the proper processes are followed, so that none can question the appropriateness of venerating the individuals you have listed. Additionally, and aside from the legal question, it is somewhat unusual to venerate Boniface. As I understand from the writing on the subject, he died in a state of excommunication, and was executed after being prosecuted in Haense on the orders of Bl. James II. Reports of his death indicate he refused to repent and cursed the blessed Pontiff at the gallows. It would make an odd encounter for the two of them to meet in the Skies. Nevertheless, I leave the question of veneration up to the clergy. I am concerned only with the procedure of canon law. I hope I have been of assistance. Deo Gratias, HIH Josephine Augusta, Duchess of Sunholdt"

Josephine Augusta feels a strange sense of loss at the death of Jude II. Though he had baptized her first son, she did not know him well. Perhaps—if those curious folk from Yong Ping were right about “reincarnation”—she knew him in a past life.
