  1. The Emperor confers with his Lieutenant and Baron, Lord Arthur, "You, the destroyer of Our enemies. Have you ever been hawking?" The Emperor would proceed to elaborate in great detail to the scarred Baron the various types of hawks and their vital roles and limits with regard to hunting. The type of equipment one must use, how they must care for it. Sir Arthur would be accosted by the elderly Emperor for hours.
  2. The Emperor prepares a special stool for the pagans, so they may look him in the eye when he accepts their apology before God and man.
  3. “Your Imperial Majesty!” shouts a young man from the parapet as he returns from prayer at the forest shrine at Huntshill. Philip II received a missive, detailing the most recent treaty, as he enters the bastion. “Sire, they posture against you! It is a vile union which seeks to weaken your rule!” The Emperor grins from astride his white stallion, offering the parchment detailing the event back to the nervous soldier. “No, my son. It is the flavor of the week.”

  5. THE ORDINATION OF WOMEN The Society of Saint James, 1845 It is Our true and whole belief that Our office is holy, and that We may not determine the nature of Our reign without advice of students of faith as well as of politics. So, Our Society of Saint James was summoned to attend, to hear Our question on the place of women in Our faith and the clergy of the Mother Church. HOLY SIR PHILIP speaks on the place of women in Canonist society. CARDINAL FRANCIS ALBAROSA speaks on the veneration and Sainthood of women. MINUVAS MELPHAESTUS speaks on the textualism of women in the Scrolls. FATHER AUGUST speaks on the pragmatic merit of the ordination of women. FATHER STOR speaks on the representation of women in the Church. DUCHESS CRESTFALL speaks on the ordination of those previously barred from it. FATHER FIODOR speaks on the vitality of women in the faith. The speakers debated at length the merits of the subjects at hand, and while many supported the ordination and veneration of women in the faith, a few remained undecided, and fewer protested it outright. We do commit, till the end of Our days, to hope and pray that the Holy Mother Church shall commit to the permission of the ordination of women in full, as is Our true and honest belief, founded on the theological principles of Our Court of Cloth.
  6. The Emperor grants head coach Isa Basrid the epithet “The Dribbler” in a particularly emotional session of imperial court.
  7. The Emperor executes the head coach in a fit of rage.
  8. because your mom's face isnt there
  9. The Emperor delivers a missive to his General. “General Ruthern, Those who harm Our subjects are Our enemies. All who would do harm to Minuvas and his kin shall be subject to your indiscriminate justice. We do not shy from the defense of Our subjects who believe only in what they choose to believe. We have not forced a thing upon them. This is merely the path they have chosen, and it is Our beloved duty to Our subjects and to God to ensure they are not harmed for how they choose to live their lives. Those who would discriminate against them through force of arms or violence will suffer Our utter and complete wrath. Those who whimper disappointedly, we shall care nothing for.” HIM, Philip II
  10. THE END OF FORCED CONVERSION The Society of Saint James II, 1842 It is Our true and whole belief that Our office is holy, and that We may not determine the nature of Our reign without advice of students of faith as well as of politics. So, Our Society of Saint James was summoned to attend, to hear Our question on the righteousness, or lack thereof, of forced conversion by the sword. DUCHESS CRESTFALL SPEAKS on the morality of forced conversion. LADY FRANCESCA SPEAKS on the final judgement of God. CARDINAL ALBAROSA SPEAKS on the illegitimacy of forced conversion. FATHER STOR SPEAKS on the nature of repentance in the Auspice. LORD DU LOC SPEAKS on his love for the teachings, despite his lack of faith. THE ARCH-LECTOR SPEAKS on the effectiveness of the Third Mission. FATHER FIODOR SPEAKS on his personal experience with forced conversion. FATHER AUGUST SPEAKS on the individuality of faith. The speakers rose, and one by one, their words echoed together. Our summary is this; a conversion under the threat of death is no true conversion. The love of God must be embraced, or not, by the sharing of mercy, understanding, and the benevolent charity of the Lord, through us. So shall be the mission of Our crown.
  11. The Emperor considers this missive, his brigadier Vonchester with him as he sends his hawk off of his leather gauntlet, his old eyes barely making it out as it ascends. Another soldier on horseback would approach the Imperial retinue with a copy of this missive, delivering it into the Brigadier. The aging zealot squints up at the clouds hopelessly as he is read the paper. ”How dreadful,” he sighs as the hawk dives unto some unknown prey. He cannot trace it’s dive anymore, but a nearby courtier describes it to him. As the retinue follows the hawk’s dive on foot, the Emperor laments to Vonchester, “My dearest granddaughter, how sad. We had spoken with Otto August, given him Our blessing in hopes he would help me in diverting such erratic behaviors as public denunciation, or vile proclamations of hatred against her own family, and the young man gave me his word. Though surely he could not control this outburst; Our Imperial daughters are not simple creatures.” The retinue approaches the hawk in the brush, it’s claws grasped tightly around the throat of a prairie rabbit. “We pray she considers her hurtful words. It was for the sake of her that We informed her King that she was under suspicion by the Lectors of Owyn, and left it to him and the High Pontiff to determine a fair course of action. To accuse her own mother, Our beloved daughter, of such a villainous thing, We pray forever that they reconcile.”
  12. The Emperor receives his grandson's letter with great reverence. He writes him back, in genuine pleasure, My dearest grandson, A pilgrim's path is a most glorious one, walked by the holiest men who have ever walked the world. That you seek to discover the mysteries of faith and God are the most commendable quests that can be undertaken. Whence I see you again, we shall discover, within each other, a newfound affection for God. For as you wander the temporal realms of the world God has created, you will pray and receive signs, and you will pray and you will not. The journey, the places, the people. What you see within each individual you meet, as I once did, is not that the Lord has sent you on a journey of penance, or repentance for the innate sin within yourself. Instead, the nature of your journey shall be the construction of your own relationship with the Lord. How He has given you the tortures of your life, how He has made your feet sore and parched your lip in the desert. And how He has given you a warm hearth of the friendly stranger, and the bounty of His gardens. Your trials, and your success, are His creation for you, and for nobody else. His trials are surmountable, even if they are not defeated, for they are each a test of faith. Your grandfather, HIM Philip II

  14. Philip II could be seen that day, all day, praying for the souls of those lost to the curse of Azdromoth. "Surely the Lord would show mercy to those lost souls, manipulated by the vile lizards," the Emperor laments to his trusted friend and soldier, Julian. "If they can be saved, then let us try. Or at the least, we can send them to the Lord, to deliver upon them the judgement only He may administer. Mercy in the face of such profound heresy would be nothing but weakness."

  19. HIM dispatches a letter for Alicjo, promising a much larger bounty for each dragon head Alicjo may bring to him.
  20. HIM consorts briefly with a wizard who determines the Esbecian fire to be caused by a knocked over lamp. Knocked over by a cow, in fact, whose starvation from lack of attentive care had driven it to madness, before it collapsed. How the lamp was lit after such long abandonment, the Emperor could not figure.
  21. The Duke of Adria prays for his beloved and departed brother.
  22. Prince Philip prays at the bedside of his beloved brother. This Haeseni tribulation does not even reach his ears.
  23. The Prince-Regent considers the outcome of the meeting. He then returns to his recent occupation, keeping his sickly brother from leaping out the window after an imagined Sutican monarch.
