The quill was dipped into the black ink a few times over before it reached the paper. “Constantine Malenos.” He would repeat as the name was written over the parchment while his hand continued to finish off the rest of the work. “It pleases me to see former sons of Oren come together once more as friends – and unity by marriage. God bless Sedan and Balian as they continue to prosper under his will.”

I am sorry but I believe this needs some clarification. During Easter sunday when this entire ordeal went down you can not claim that all of the Royalists were Orenians and that the Imperialists were made of outside help. Both sides had Orenians and both sides had outsiders joined in to be completely honest as it was placed together at the very last minute by staff to give an option compared to existing RP situation that was in conflict at the given time. Keep in mind the brother's war had an actual warclaim / coup posted at the time of the conflict. I am not speaking to this matter as I was not present nor have full details of any of it -- but this is an awful example.

Constantine Malenos would be most pleased to have his brother in arms return to safety so they may raid once more again soon.

Constantine Malenos would chuckle as he looked at the latest report from the warfront. "An even battle of champions and they could not even draw blood? How can they show their faces in the realm after talking such towards the forces of the Eastern Almaris Treaty Organization."

Constantine Malenos would smile the sun's smile, and move to take a drink from his lemonade as he celebrated under the desert moonlight.

Constantine Malenos would smile the sun's smile. He also would move to rally the brave men and women of Balian before they marched off towards the call of the allies within NATO. "Shall they never forget the challenge the might of those whom God stands with!"

Constantine Malenos would smile the sun’s smile.

Constantine Malenos would sign the Lorianne as he smiled gently, "The good Ferryman stand with those against the Lizard-kin and those whom stand to challenge the Grand Kingdom of Urugan. Shall they face our steel and feel the might of the NATO alliance."

The Lord Legate of Balian would smile the suns smile. “We stand United against any whom threaten this realm amongst our noble allies.” As he moved to sign the document

Why are you so cute? On the real . . . . Why is Da_Emperors your favorite LOTCer?

Not a question but just a comment I would like to say -- you are without a doubt one of the most kind people I have met on LOTC that always checks up on others. You are appreciated for all you do!

Constantine Malenos would sign the Lorianne Cross as the news would be brought to him. He would remain within the Cathedral as he looked towards the altar. "God, shall you take your beloved son within your arms into the seven skies. For the little time I have known him, he has been nothing but kind and cordial to myself and our kin." He remained within the Cathedral for hours on end.

Procurator Constantine Malenos would smile as he raised his drink with friends around the large hearth.

Ledicort d'Azor would watch from the heavens as he remained disgusted with his heir and child. He would not whisper any prayers for him nor any of those whom wished the Empire ill will.

In my experiences I believe this war has been very tame outside of some Instances here and there. As long as we look towards keeping IC and OOC separate it should lead to both enjoyable roleplay as well as unique experiences. It’s not often you see the largest nation on the server break into factions for control. That being said, my discord is open for anyone to reach out if you are feeling this way.

"A well founded treaty, I should like to take visit to see the beauty of the Silver State myself and meet the Sohaer." The Prince of Providence would remark as he looked over the parchment before his desk.

The Prince of Providence would stand amongst his comrades, allies, and fellow Orenians as he overlooked the battlefield. Peter opened his canteen to pour water to his face — washing dried and fresh blood alike off his face. “To the Empire and the allies! We have restored what was rightfully ours.” He screamed, his blade to the air for moments longer. The loud cheers of the victory would echo around.

Peter Augustus looked over the text as he drank his cup of coffee. “Why does it feel as if the Church becomes more political as each day passes. It would seem they believe God’s work is to release false news that holds no bearing. May God bring them back to more true natured ways.”

The Prince of Providence would look towards the actions and later the missive that was offered by Heloise. Peter would take a moment to himself as his eyes would lower for a mere moment. "Death, or hate?" He chuckled lightly to himself. "I was present at Southbridge, I was present at Providence, I was present at Sedan's fields, and I was present for the many times in which we have raised blade to answer those whom wish us nothing but death." He would close his eyes once more. "It is but foolish to think they consider the welfare of yourself or the people of this realm. God be with us all." He opened his eyes as he moved off towards the call of his advisors.
