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.

The Procurator’s Report
12th of Sigismiund's End, in the Year of our Lord, 2 Balian's Age.
The Office of the Procurator has prepared the following report for the citizens of the Grand Duchy.
Within the first two Saint’s days of property sales with Atrus, all homes, apartments, and business stalls have been sold completely. It is joyous to see all those who have already begun their new lives within the city but the question is left what will be done to address the requests for more housing. After carefully considering the demand, we have deemed it appropriate to conduct various construction projects to expand the housing market with the following additions to be created.
-
The Second Tavern within the Hogius Circle shall be remodeled for additional housing for small-sized families. We expect this project to be completed within one Saint’s week.
-
New homes will be created within the farming districts. We expect this project to be completed this Saint’s week.
-
The Crooked Tavern has opened four housing units that are able to be rented by the Saint’s week or Saint’s month. They are available now if you would like to take a tour.
As progress continues upon these projects the Office of the Procurator shall provide more details on the availability of the new homes. If you have already purchased your home or business please do keep in mind that the tax office is located to the left of the city entrance. The tax office will be opening within two Saint’s days for collections for the start of each Saint’s week. Lastly, we will be on looking to hire two citizens to the role of Steward within Atrus, if this is an opportunity that interests you please send a letter to begin the process.
Constantine Malenos, Procurator of Balain

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.

Spoiler
A year has passed since the tragic events at the Saint Ari’s day Massacre. The Battle of New Providence was lost, Emperor Peter IV was dead, and tens of thousands of Orenians were displaced across the oceans as they looked towards God for comfort. Charles was but a simple commoner amongst the many. In his mind, the bravery of those who stood against the unjust actions of the Kingdom had battled against the scenes of bloodshed and death. Never again. Never again. Never again. He repeated it hundreds of times to himself. Never again do I wish to feel this way.
Once they had arrived in the new lands led by the Star of Saint Lothar a small smile would break on his face. Around him, peers, commoners, clergy, soldiers, and others all stood together united by the promise John had given at the raised plateau. He had arrived in God’s Kingdom and had looked forward to nothing but the chance of holding a new life started afresh.
The soldier before him asked as he looked to take entry into the newly restored city – “What is your name lad?” In his mind he had considered it for a moment, he wished to embrace a new start – he had little that would know of him in his previous years in the former Empire. He replied, “My name is Constantine Malenos.” The soldier would then grant him entry into the city as the youth would move to begin his new life.

Constantine Malenos would smile as he entered into the walls of Ponterosa, the youth would be pleased to be able to start his life afresh amongst fellow liked minded friends and comrades.

Peter Augustus would look to his friend moments before his mind would filled with memories of his childhood alongside his closest friend. "Floryan, run -- please leave!" He would scream with his might. Knowing his request was rejected, his heart was torn to pieces. Tears were all that was left for Peter to offer as he knew what was to come.
SpoilerMuch love my man, thank you for making strong memories on this character since the first day I started playing it. Hope to see you around.

Peter IV would smile as affirmation of Empire continued. "Shall the legacy of our realm never be lost."

Peter IV would return to his chambers as an aid brought a missive that had reached the fortress. As his eyes took note of the words upon the parchment the Emperor soft softly, “We pray for George Galbraith whom was taken from his family too soon. His only mistake was to ask but a question to his liege, the pretender, during a barbaric court.” He would shift his head from left to right as he let a breath escape him. “Philip, your son has passed by the hands of another and you speak of payment for the loss gather than mourning your own kin. Is this the world in which my younger brother has created? To allow the Duke of Azor nearly be killed after your so called King had promised safety? We shall pray for your kin and wish he rests well in the Seven Skies.”

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.

Peter IV would stand firm as looked toward his advisors, “Our ally has committed once more. Praise be to the Empire, and glory to God!”

PROCLAMATION OF THE EMPIRE
The Fourteenth of Owyn’s Flame in the 1868th year of Our Lord
Duchy of Reutov, Blackriver Keep
SpoilerIn the crossroads of destiny, one has a choice. One road shall lead to the prosperities of yore, another road shall lead to the destructiveness of Iblees’ himself. It is the nature of these choices - these roads of destiny - to be hazed with conflict and confusion. One might not hold the opinion of another, and yet that opinion inflicts the pain of wrongful choices onto that very same man as that is the course of actions. And so one might find comfort in the thought of aid, with men and women alike on each side of oneself to ensure these crossroads are met faithfully, with all factors in mind. “Let you take heed, John Charles, that an Emperor is the sum of the men which he surrounds himself with. Your father, Joseph II, possessed a common heart; he held no greatness; it was they who reared him that were filled with the greatness of the day. It is to his councillors that he is indebted, and to benevolent Providence.” advised Joseph II, on the ascension of John VIII to the Orenian throne.
One man has on this night not followed these words of wisdom. One man has defied the wisdom of old, destroyed the very essence of Our Imperial throne, and the sanctified institution of succession within Our lands. This man has crowned himself as Frederick I: alas his name remains Frederick Charles, for his ascension to the throne is one of falsehoods and fabrication - to defy the rights of brotherhood for the throne, to turn against one's own family in the desire to rule. What might one do to his people, if one cannot even preserve his own blood for the sinful lust of avarice?
And furthermore, this so-called Frederick I, takes the very institution which has lowered him the Crown, and abolished its ancient foundation into a simplistic Kingdom - the Kingdom of Oren - from which his falsified claims shall rise further and further as his own avarice rises through the Skies. Where even God looks down upon this failure of a man, as his foolishness demands the focus of men lesser in his mind. Shall Our Imperial throne not be respected and revered as it has throughout centuries, even so for millennia, abolished with one snap of a finger? Legacies and histories diminished through the word of an untrue Crown.
It is in this revelation, and the worries which has followed, that I, Peter IV Augustus, summon the Peers of Our Realm, those of loyal nature to the rightful Crown of Our collective lands, to fight contra the false King of Oren and his band of treacherous traitors and mercenaries. It is Our hope, in light of this call, that men of sense shall showcase their strength against the typical commencement of tyrannical rule, so that these men, these traitors, shant touch Our land nor Our traditions, shant touch Our Crown nor Our Empire.
In this call to truth, We seek the mandate of God as We shall ascend to the Imperial throne as all others have before me, in unity with the Lord God, beneath the anointing of the Pontifical throne. And so rise to the Imperial throne as the true and rightful heir, beneath the Lord God and his eternal word, wherefrom humanity shall beneath one faith once more.
And lastly, to the wicked brother of mine, Frederick Charles, as is your legal name, shall rot in the fires of Iblees’ realm as your actions deems you worthy for his displeasure. Your actions are unacceptable. Your falsified claims and fabricated stance, written underneath the pressure of our dying parents. How dare you use them to your advantage, wherefrom stems this wicked nature of yours? It saddens the heart, o’ brother of Ours, but your actions are unforgivable.
We shall end these words with the demands of mine, as you stand in no place to demand of me, as We ascend the Imperial throne as the RIGHTFUL HEIR of Philip III and Anastasia I.
Firstly, you, Frederick Charles, shall surrender yourself in the absence of restraint to the rightful Orenian reign, wherefrom you shall be rightfully judged for your unlawful actions.
Secondly, all the Peers of the Realm shall return once more to the rightful Crown, wherefrom their position shall be retained as before these events, unless these Peers shall continue to take the stance of the falsified rule. These men, who decidedly take the side of the false Frederick, shall soon be judged before the Imperial Crown and God, wherefrom their treason shall be punished across their bloodline.
Thirdly, you shall live within the vows of the Holy See, committed to the faith in eternal servitude the Pontificate and the Lord God, to repent for your sins against the institute of the Crown, forever to look upon your failure from the halls of the Cathedrals.
You have till the end of Our Lord's year to fulfil and enact above demands, whereafter, should this not be accomplished, your untrue reign shall be plagued with the fiery wrath of God and the strengthened spirit of Orenian loyalists. Your biggest mistake, o’ brother of Ours, was and is to underestimate what We would do for Our people and land.
IN NOMINE DEI,
HIS IMPERIAL MAJESTY Peter IV Augustus, by the grace of God, Holy Orenian Emperor, forever August, King of Renatus, Curon, Kaedrin, Salvus, and Seventis, Grand Duke of Ves, Helena, Novellen, Furnestock and Lorraine, Baron of Renzfeld, Protector of the Heartlanders, Orenian Highlanders, and Farfolk, etcetera

Surrounded by his fellow countrymen and comrades he raised his blade at the abbey! He screamed, "We stand together against anyone whom wishes harm against our own and our lands! To the men and women of Arichsdorf, of Blackvale, of the Imperial Legion, and but of course the common Orenian that shall not let our nation see harm! Long love the Empire and the Crown! All glory to God!" He would move into the place of prayer afterwards as he went to offer his prayers.

The Prince of Providence would strip off the rest of his bandages from his chest and the right side of his face as would move to take his blade to hand. "I am of proper body once again -- We allowed for peace and now that they refuse it we shall be prepared to take the fields once more!"

"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.

Considerations of Life
8th of the Sun's Smile, In the Year of our Lord 1864
War. Conflict. Growth. Twenty-two years of life have been granted by God to myself and such time has learned a healthy standard for the term. At a young age since I was placed back to my parent’s side at their ascension to the throne to the youthful years joining the forces of Oren at the frontlines – experience that shall forever shape the man I am and will continue to become.
War has taught me that life is precious. That you should tell your loved ones that you care for them, you should spend time with those whom you’d regret if you had not, and that you should above all live life with no regrets. As the people of Oren continue to work together for a future in which we may all be pleased for the next generation, we do hold trials that we shall have to overcome.
Two Saint’s days ago at the Imperial Court when I had stood by my mother’s side. Moments after an assassin had attempted to end my life upon the dias, I was hit with a substance that had blown the right portion of my chest and face. By God’s good grace and the doctors within the Palace I was able to make a recovery that shall take several more years. In the time in which I laid down to rest, I had seen my Uncle, many friends, and, above all, my mother. I had taken the realization that my bonds with my loved ones shall always need to hold such consideration as I spoke earlier of.
I write today for two things to be known. First, that I am alive and shall be well, for that I thank God and the countrymen that stood by my side during the events. Second, I implore us all to take a moment to reflect upon where they are in life. Speak to your neighbor, speak to your friend, and speak to your loved ones.
God bless the Holy Orenian Empire. One God, One Empire, One Emperor.

The Resettlement of Lower Petra
Reconstruction of Lower Petra Begins c. 1863
By C. Logreene
"In Lower Petra, our reclaimed and rightful land, we shall once again show that, despite the decades of challenges, this Empire will overcome and not falter!"
Prince Peter Augustus
For decades Lower Petra has been engulfed in endless conflict that has razed her fields, burnt homes, and plundered the natural and physical wealth of the land. Despite this challenge, the Duke of Petra and Imperial Vicar of the Petra Circle, His Imperial Highness, Prince Peter Augustus has embarked to overcome the adversity and reestablish a thriving community south of New Providence.
Encharged by Their Imperial Majesties with the rejuvenation and restoration of the liberated land, the Prince seeks all those willing to live and work in the region. There is plenty of land that needs tilled, houses that need constructed, and communities that need formed.
(Contact Da_Emperors#2757 if you wish to get land or work in Lower Petra, RP Letters sent via Forums.)

Peter August would take a look over the note as he whispered to himself, "How has the House of Pruvia fallen to such poor standard." He would shake his head as he moved to carry on with the tasks of the given day.

The Next Generation
15th of Owen’s Flame. Year of our Lord 1862
A memoir of the next generation of Orenians, Prince of Providence
For many decades since the times of Emperor Peter III, each generation has grown into pillars that our Empire has stood tall upon and shall continue to do so.
In the past fifteen years the youth of the realm have taken the challenges we are faced by the scruff of the neck to answer those who would wish us great harm. We were born as if any other, but were tasked by the hands of fate to answer the call that was placed to us. And with any measure we have answered the call that was given.
Our generation, those Orenians in our youth and early in our lives have seen family, friends, and neighbors take upon the defense of our lands and values. It is expected for a child from their parents to learn, to aid, and to contribute to the family and the land. And by God have the youth taken these words to heart. Efforts are applied to each front equally in times of war – to the supply chain of our Empire that equips our bravest, to the creation of art and luxurious items to be able to better our capability, and but of course to raise blade against any that would wish the death of our own.
Thousands of our age have entered into industry to aid the efforts. From the creation of weaponry, to those who have tollied the fields and pastures, to those who created business to aid in the acquiring of various goods – We have answered the call when requested. One would look to shining examples of our generation such as Lady Sophie Pruvia ( @ncarr) and Lord Lucien Vuiller ( @HeyitsNano) The efforts of those two as well as countless others have created and acquired enough arms and provisions to prepare many legions of brave men and women.
Culture, arts, and fine luxurious goods are always in demand. The entirety of the realm has looked for such goods at the highest rates within decades. The youth have within a short frame of time learned what would take a lifetime while holding the same standard of quality that would be expected. Her Imperial Highness, Princess Catherine ( @AndrewTech) has held various auctions for her art that has brought hundreds to bid for the chance of ownership. Work so sought after the funds donated shocked the eyes of many. Lady Analiese d’Azor ( @PrincessSnowie) has created jewelry fit for royalty, gemstones cut with such luster and form that others could not compare, and items of such value that they are sought after with great desire. Hundreds of our own in their late teens and early twenties have answered the call – and aided in our efforts with such kind contributions.
And of course, battle. We were present at Southbridge. We were present at Destiny’s Tavern. We were present at New Providence, Karosgrad, Haverlock and countless other battles. The list of new Imperial State Soldiers is flooded with our generation that is prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Free Companies, vassal state forces, amongst all other groups – we have stood amongst our seniors. Our voices are heard upon the fields of battle and they are heard to the defense of what we hold nearest to our hearts.
Our generation has embraced the Orenian way. We hope the words, “One God, One Empire, One Emperor” within our hearts. We take our words and turn them into action. I believe that our generation is turning into an example of one that shall be told in the storybooks for many decades to come. May all of our youth find such courage and capability to arise to any challenge that God places before us. Shall we continue to live our lives for our realm and our own. God bless and protect our realm.
His Imperial Highness, The Prince of Providence, Duke of Petra, Peter Augustus

Constantine Malenos would be drinking his specialty -- Desert Lemonade with Honey, as he would take the paper in his right hand upon his roof. He would seem to be very pleased with the dispatch.
