  1. The Haesenic Armed Forces Parade, 1753

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhlLy2elSlI

    Apollinary Vasnetsov, Old Moscow, 1908

    16th of Harren’s Folly, 1753 | Msitza and Dargun, 306 ES

     


     

     

    With the recent developments that resulted in the Elves making peace with the Empire, the Lord Regent, Tiberius Barrow, seeks to recognize and praise the heroic efforts of the Haensi forces who have made this extraordinary act possible. In memory of both the living and the dead who have valiantly fought in this war of pagan aggression, a military parade has been commissioned to celebrate the stalwart Haensic military. In the face of insurmountable odds, they continue to stand firm against these savage aggressors. The streets of Reza will be decorated and prepared for the coming parade for the celebration of our military.

     

    Following the parade, a Vigil will be held to honor the courageous deeds of our fallen soldiers. Heroes such as Tharik Strumholm, Boris Ruthern, Darien Rehn, and countless others who have fallen shall be remembered for their sacrifices to defend this beloved kingdom. It is the Regent’s hope that, in these times of strife, our patriotism and unity will not falter, no matter the obstacle.

     

    WE COME AS CROWS

     

     


    Signed,

    His Excellency, Lord Regent Tiberius Barrow

    The Haeseni Royal Battle Standard

     

    Report from the Exchequer of War’s Office

    15th of Tov and Yermey, 306 ES | Sigismund’s End, 1751

     

     


     

    Your Royal Majesty,

     

    I am pleased to report to you of the first battle and victory within the walls of Morsgrad. Three soldiers of the Barayan Company, Rhys Henrik Marbrand, Lukas Vyronov, and Siegmund Wick, led a raid against Morsgrad. A daunting stronghold to seize, for the gates of the city are situated high above a chasm with only a narrow bridge connecting it. Past missions have been difficult to conduct in such circumstances; however, these three brave men took it upon themselves to bring victory to the Empire. 

     

    They began by scouting the defenses of the city, keeping in tow several hundred soldiers, while the three went ahead. Luck was on their side this day as the gates of Morsgrad were opened to allow the infantry inside. The squadron sprang into action, charging into the city with swords raised. A garrison of six hundred Morsgradian bandits rallied to fight off these noble warriors, but to no avail. They were crushed beneath the heel of the Barayan Company and sent to the pits of Hell. Any survivors fled their own city out of pure cowardice, though it is well known that Morsgrad has no citizens to protect in the first place.

     

    I am also pleased to announce that Marshal Erwin Barclay and Vice-Marshal Aedan Capulei have been successful in their efforts to increase the size and strength of the Brotherhood of Saint Karl. They have been formidably efficient, and the Marshal and Vice-Marshal have been giving them purpose which has strengthened the bonds of brotherhood.

     

    In all, the war has been long and arduous, but the military of Haense has managed to overcome and find success against the trials of war. 

     

    I recommend that Rhys Marbrand, Lukas Vyronov, and Siegmund Wick be commended for their valorous actions.

     

     


     

    Cordially,

     Tiberius Barrow, Exchequer of War

  3. The Order of the Golden Hussars

    6NVDu-Jvy7_Sfnubt93psRAloKa3FqBV48RskI_RCevKbiYNJsxD8bNSbAQeESY1ANvTvj12mRTPXKyRnSJrrdvjosNhligNr7EOBzsa36VpU3eoOEfwYeoc3NExwJJ5rjgbSkR-


     

    “If you wish to win the hearts of the Highlanders, that you will one day rule, you must learn to lead from the front. Therefore, when riding to war, surround yourself with hard men- men sharper than steel, with hearts as cold as iron- who would stay by your side if you were to ride into the black mouth of Hell itself. Fight on the front lines, with these men beside you- and live. Then, perhaps, you may hope to begin the long task of earning the respect of your subjects.”

     

    -Otto Rovin, counseling a young Karl Barbanov [Horen’s Welcome, 1458].


     

    Since the time of the Duke of Siegrad, the House of Barbanov has surrounded itself with its finest warriors. With the unfortunate death of the late King Andrik III, King Andrik Petyr has commissioned the creation of an order of Haense’s finest to serve as the personal retinue to the royal family. Henceforth, the Golden Hussars are hereby established. Their mission is trifold:

     

    -To serve as the heavy cavalry for the military of Haense,

     

    -To represent the King in battle,

     

    -To protect the royal family from all bodily harm.

     

    The Order of the Golden Hussars is comprised of Haenseni knights and dames as well as squires and pages who wish to one day be a Golden Hussar. As his first act as Knight Paramount, Ser Tiberius “Tide Breaker” Barrow commissioned the Golden Hussars as an official knightly order of Haense.




     

    Structure

     

    All members of the Golden Hussars are inherently equal as knights of the Crown. As such, there are no ranks within the Golden Hussars. The Golden Hussars follow the command of the Knight Paramount and the King of Haense. Each Hussar is permitted up to 2 squires and 3 pages at a time whose housing and upkeep shall be funded by the Crown. 

     

     

    On the Haensic Royal Army

     

    The Golden Hussars serve as the Dres Ezred (Third Battalion) of the Royal Army of Haense. They serve as the heavy shock cavalry of the army; however, they have been known to work as mounted range units as well. Their missions are arduous and difficult so knights of the Golden Hussars must be capable to fight in any scenario.

     

     

    On the Marian Retinue

     

    “The dream of every child is to one day become a knight. The dream of every knight is to one day become a Kingsguard.”

     

    - Ser Osgod Colborn, [Harren’s Folly, 1472].

     

     

    The Marian Retinue has long served as the official bodyguard of the King since the reign of Marius II. In honor of this long standing tradition, the Marian Retinue will remain as a sub-order of the Golden Hussars. The Marian Retinue will hereby be selected from the body of Golden Hussars for those of distinguished service and honorable performance in battle.

     

    On the Barayan Company

     

    “The only men I fear are those I have trained myself.”

     

    - Tarcell Othaman, [Harren’s Folly, 1471]

     

     

    The Barayan Company is hereby commissioned. The Barayan Company will be made up of 500 dismounted soldiers who will support the mounted Hussars as heavy infantry. The Barayan Company with serve as a sub-order of the Golden Hussars. All Arma Patrinae will make up the ranks of the Barayan Company.

     

    On Protecting the Royal Family

     

    Each Hussar will be assigned to a member of the Barbanov royal family. When a member of the royal family is married off to a foreigner or leaves Haense for whatever reason, they forfeit the protection of the Golden Hussars. The Marian Retinue will serve as the assigned members to the King of Haense.

     

    Creed

     

    At this moment, my vigil begins.

    When the night grows dark and fears spreads through the camp,

    I swear to be steadfast.

    When the enemy comes in number towards our gates,

    I swear to hold my ground.

    When the King of Haense rides out to battle,

    I swear to be first at his side.

    And if the cost be my life itself,

    I shall bring victory.

    bye eddy she was a dead npc and at the time yoppl was playing an imperial court eunuch but no bull sh*t besides that personal jab I am actually glad y’all are doing better and I’m glad y’all are being progressive and more receptive! It is always good to make the consort feel included and less like a pointless trinket, good luck to her and all of you

    I’m just gonna be honest Haense has never been perfect. I played the first Queen of Haense and there has ALWAYS been a disconnect between the person playing the queen (especially if they’re a genderbender) and the rest of the leadership. WHILE I DO LOVE HAENSE, there also was always an underlying issue of disrespect for the person playing the queen since you guys seem to not want to give them any real responsibilities.

     

    What y’all need to do, and the rest of LOTC needs to do, is to stop allowing people to play your consort whether you’re an emperor, king, duke, whatever, if you’re going to bar them from knowledge, put them in a box that contains little more than ‘throw a ball XD Lol’, and then insult them because you think they are not competent enough to play an active role in the politics of the kingdom and their corresponding command chats like Seannie just did in this thread.

     

    Couple things about this.

     

    First off, you weren’t the first Queen-Consort of Haense. That title goes to the esteemed @yopplwasupxxxduring my reign as Petyr I. 
     

    The second part, you bring up a valid point. In generations past, Haense has done a poor job at involving the Queen-Consort in roleplay. We have just started fleshing out the powers of the Queen-Consort. As you may have seen, @Eryanehas been the pioneer in doing so. I highly advise you to check out her multitude of posts and responsibilities in the Haense section. It is an issue we are working to flesh out and solve.

     

    I wouldn’t attack Haense solely on this either. Every kingdom has a problem bringing their leader’s spouse into playing a role. However, if you look at every nation, I’d say Haense is leading the way in doing so.

    great work eddy and im 100% in agreement, except for the part where you said it wasn’t once like that. It always has been. There’s just been a veil placed over most of the playerbase’s faces. Regrettably, I was a firsthand witness to how inner affairs work. I simply wish others in that community, and dare I say the leadership, adhered to such an enlightened mindset. Let’s hope they do so in the future because if they don’t, I’m sure you can agree it’s time for change – both in leadership and how we treat each other on this server.

    Axelu, it wasn’t always like this. I speak of the early times of Haense. However, whether you agree or not is your prerogative so I won’t argue that.

     

    This post was shared with the leadership prior to being made. We agreed to post it as it is something that needs to be worked on. The leadership is not in the right here either. We ALL need to work towards a better community, and that starts there.

    Haeseni and Lorrainian soldiers climb out of their trenches to play games together

     

    In honor of the holiday season, popularly referred to as Tuvmas or Krugmas, I call upon the AIS to agree to an armistice for the period of 1 Saint’s Day. During this day, both sides will agree to cease all hostilities in celebration of family, friends, and community. The armistice will end at the beginning of the next Saint’s Day (12:00am EST this evening) in which point the war shall resume. Use this time to enjoy the company of your family, your comrades, and your friends as well as those we are pitted against. Today is not a day of conflict, but of celebration.

  10. Thesis on the Nature of Sin in the Church

     

     

    There have been numerous times throughout the course of the Holy Church’s history that corrupted clergy are tempted by sin. Greed, one of the most vile of sins, has claimed the heart of many. The results are disastrous leading to the death of laymen and tragedy. High Pontiff Paul exemplified these sins during his Pontificate which led to the downfall of the Church for numerous years and the rise of Caesorpapism.

     

    How can the Church overcome a history of temptation? I believe it is vital for an established Inquisition to have clearly defined rolls in upholding not only the faith of the lay but also that of the Clergy. If the Inquisition is given strict guidelines and procedures on how to handle these situations, the Clergy will be given oversight. Costly mistakes of sinful ambition can be avoided leading to the growth and strengthening of the Church.

     

    Giving the Inquisition the power of oversight is a humbling decision that has to be enacted by the Synod and the Pontiff. However, it is proven that the Clergy is failable. In order to prevent these faults, guidelines must be enacted to ensure the holy nature of the Church. If preventative measures had been put in place many years ago, mistakes such as Caesorpapism, incorrect excommunications, and the death of laymen and Clergy alike could be potentially avoided.

    Rain dripped slowly outside the window of John V's bed as a racking cough took him once more. The sickness that had fallen upon him left him unable to run his Empire, but it could not stop his mind nor his hand. Taking a quill and parchment in his hands, he began to write the following in the candle light.

     

    "What is the meaning of Oren? An Empire reformed for the sixth time. Each for various reasons and each Empire holding different characteristics. Is it the dynasty that leads which defines it? The Emperor at the time? Oren once strove out into the world to conquer uncivilized lands to bring forth its image and ideals to all the world. This expansion has led to its downfall many times. When I reformed the Empire of my ancestors, it was not those ideals which drove me. Balkanization was a stain on the world of Man. A stain which led humans slaughtering humans and leaving cities deserted and countrysides pillaged. Only with order can humanity prevail. United through different cultures and mindsets to face any threat that would take away their GOD given livelihoods.

     

    One of my first foreign problems as Emperor called for an answer on the Urguan-Frostbeard Civil War that had taken place. One side of me sought to strike Urguan while they were weak as they have done in every civil war in Oren and have done in the most recent one as well. Another side of me saw the opportunity to make amends with the Dwarven Peoples and establish relations like they were in the days of Godfrey when the two peoples ruled in a Golden Age. My reparations were foolish at first to request, and I called a meeting with the Grand King to let him know those terms were no longer the case.

     

    However, the Dwarven Legion rallied outside and attempted to hack down the doors to my palace during a diplomatic meeting and take my life. The Men of Norland, a nation I, myself, negotiated a peace for between the Dwarves and them to return their lands showed with their army as well and filed in with Dwarven ranks outside my doors. A nation that I have an alliance with. A nation led in its military by my very own uncle. You claim oppression from Oren when your men have fought with rebels against me and marched on my palace gates in my capital.

     

    Oren, an Empire, seeks unity and order in humanity, yet foreign races see that strength as a threat to their own. Claims of aggression and expansion are false.

     

    To the Dwarves of Urguan, I held back my armies from attacking your people during civil war when you yourselves have done the opposite in civil wars in Oren. You came to murder me in my palace during a diplomatic meeting when I sought peace with your people. You claim we are aggressive, but it is you who wishes to see Humanity divided so they can be your pawns and controlled. It shall never be the case.

     

    To the Men of Norland, I worked with you and your people for my early years before becoming Emperor. I negotiated and wrote the peace treaty which got your land back from the Dwarves of Urguan. When you come to my palace in force while I am under attack, it is seen as being done aggressively. I seek to discuss reparations for any men wounded or killed in the incident, but that can only be done through communication, not war.

     

    This Empire is not one of aggression as many may think. It is one of order, and it shall bring forth that order regardless of foreign races seeking to divide humanity and conquer it. GOD bless the sixth Empire of Oren."
