Ledicort d’Azor would be preparing the soldiers upon the eve of marching to the warfront. He would light the Dubious Cigar that was between his lips as he looked at a missive that would be upon his desk. As he read the contents, a smile would be left upon his face. “Victoria, your future is as bright as can be. The Empire has a scholar in the making and one I am so proud to call my god child.”

Ledicort d’Azor would enter into the Captain’s offices. He would be suited up and prepared in mind for the Combat training that was to follow. He would take the missive from Erik as he overlook the details of the parchment. Ledicort would grin lightly and chuckle to himself. ”Aye, I do believe I have seen such before Captain.” He would leave the parchment upon the Captain’s desk. @grnappa

What Pokémon am I?

Ledicort would smile as he looked over the Entomology brief from his godchild, “I am glad to see that Victoria is a shining light for all to look to. May she continue to enlighten us with her findings.”

<--------><--------><--------> The Mercantile Endeavor <--------><--------><--------> Written by Ledicort d’Azor Economic systems have evolved from the dawn of time. Peoples, Nations and Races across all of the Acras have created various means to trade and grow wealth. Over time it is seen that as wealth and prosperity grow within the markets, governmental and outside forces seek to take and regulate a larger piece out from the existing pool. Such would lead to the greatest loss of productivity and ability to reach each and every talent that may still be unearthed. When one should consider the economy and the “Mercantile Endeavor”, they should look past race, creed or belief for the thought that the individual holds talent. Talent in that they can provide service, goods or labor to an existing or new foundation of the Nation. Strictly speaking when it pertains to economic goals, we should view talent as the primary resource. Any agency should look to avoid the harming of the talent pool that the Nation will come to rely on for proper economic growth. Freedom of the Economic Endeavor The State should not interfere with the concept of Freedom of the Economic Endeavor. The free thought and will of a citizen to create and run the Mercantile Endeavor affair should be unhindered. Enterprise and markets should follow the nature of the Empiric way that promotes progress for the state, as long as they do such, no laws should be provoked to prevent the rise of business and the market. The stronger the use of the talent pool and strength of industry, the stronger the state will be in turn. Taxation Taxation remains important for the structure of a functioning Empire that can provide for the common defense, prosperity of the people and stable order for all that remain within its borders. However, taxation of Merchants, Traders, and Artisans should not prevent the ability to grow and prosper. When taxation goes above the needs of the state, it will hinder the markets and ability to maximize the talent of the nation to grow and prosper. A state should only tax for the services it must provide, and when said taxes are unchecked, the economy and markets will be left to fail. Guilds and Organizations The state should not interfere with the market's own devices. Government should not enforce the union of businesses nor prevent said guilds from creation. The market is a living and breathing entity that creates problems and solutions on its own accord. It is not the duty of the government to interfere with the ability for the market to deal with the endeavor that is placed before any talent -- rather the duty of the market and organization on its own to solve the problems that they may face. In Essence The nation is as strong as the ability for a citizen or talent to create and build on their own free will. The nation’s role in such is to promote the ability for this growth. Over regulation, taxes and interference will take away from the ability for that pool to create and grow -- and in return hinder the ability for the nation to grow as a whole. Promote the free minded talent and citizens to build the nation, do not hinder them. The Right of the individual to serve the crown and promote economic growth by relative freedom is the core of Mercantilism -- and the core in which the nation will prosper forward. 10th of the Sun Smile 1791 Ledicort d’Azor

Ledicort d’Azor would read the parchment as he considered the events of the day that he was present for. “Captain Velhrun Darkwood, Lt Col Peter Baldwin, General Alren DeNurem, these are but men of the highest quality, leadership, and achievement. It shall be every soldier’s ambition to serve in the way that these three leaders have done so.”

Lt Ledicort d’Azor stands, filled with pride as he would look over the remarks from his commander. He would offer a light smile as he glimpsed over his own experiences in the Imperial State Army; continuing, he would think of all of the comrades, allies and stories that have been built over the years. He would place down his officer’s cap upon the table. “Over the years, men like Peter Baldwin have forged the greatest army known across all the lands, the Imperial State Army. Comrades that have entered our ranks and have left, all have contributed towards the creation of this force that not only keeps the peace, but has aided in development of the greatest Empire known. Long live the Empire, Long live the Empress and may GOD continue to offer his grace towards his own.”

Great work on your build. It looks lovely!

GGT, You truly are a work of art (I died laughing from this). I am looking forward to having you with the lads.

Ledicort d’Azor would take a seat at his desk as he would shuffle over the various pieces of parchment. As he continued to finish the various tasks that would be laid before him, he would notice a Pamphlet that he would pick. As he continued to read the ideals that were placed upon the document a small smile would show on his face. “It is time that the people of the Holy Orenian Empire were offered views apart from the polarized ideas that have rampaged our lands for far too long. The Centralist point of view? Why that is a view in the people have awaited to see.” Ledicort would place the Pamphlet down as he reflected over his experiences. “Centralist’s, such ideals that can bring real change and action. Whatever the party or ideology in current standing, compromise and compassion have long been lost to the point. In the past I can recall a time in which Unity may of come to question. I hope that this new line of thinking shall create an era in which the people of the Empire can see real action, real change and progress to move forward.”
