Rutledge

An act to establish the legal and military title of Governor-General, what their duties shall entail, what powers they may have, and when and where the position of Governor General is to be created and used. 

INTRODUCTION

The title and role of Governor-General shall be a dual role, serving in both the legislative and military capacity. When a state enters a State of Emergency the local government may be suspended by law, and the introduction of the Governor General (G.G) implemented. 

SECTION I:

To define the legal authorization of the title of Governor General.

1. The Governor General is confirmed by His Majesty personally.
2. The Governor General is responsible to His Majesty and his council.
3. The position and title of Governor General may only be created in the case of formal entry into a State of Emergency.

SECTION II:

To define the role and duties of the Governor General.

1. The Governor General in his Majesty’s name, may assert his personal authority over both the Legislative and Military branch of the government in the state in question. 
2. The Governor General may appoint, or renew a Senator’s term should it end during a State of Emergency.
3. The Governor General may suspend offices and duties from those he judges to be disloyal to His Majesty’s Government.
4. The Governor General may revoke titles and lands from those nobles he judges to be disloyal to His Majesty’s Government.
   1. Permanent revocation will be put to question during postwar trials of rebels. 
5. The Governor General may exercise all powers granted to him by the Emergency Resolution Act without legal impunity during or after his tenure. 
6. Once the State of Emergency ends but the suspension of titlage remains. The transition from Governor General to civil governance shall be treated as a Personal Union with a Viceroy reigning over the state. The Viceroy will be nominated by the local authorities and given assent by the Emperor.

    
Introduced by Senator Charles Napier on the 16th of Sun’s Smile, 1741
Cosponsored by Senator Richard Gurbanguly-Levi

((MC NAME)):

TO THE HONORABLE SENATOR FROM HELENA, C. NAPIER, AND COLLEAGUES,

Dear sir. I first enlisted in the Imperial State Army some many years ago, joining the 2^nd Helena Brigade as an Cadet. I have since had the honor of promotion to Ensign, and am now engaged in active combat within the heartlands with my fellow soldiers, against the invading hordes and their treasonous allies. 

While we the people spill our blood in defense of our country, I must express disturbance at the manifest lethargy of our duly-elected representatives. I have as of yet seen no resolution promoted to the floor of your honorable house with intentions either to condemn the traitorous provinces, or words of comfort and support for our soldiers. Additionally, your honorable colleague the Senator from Curon, V. Rutledge, has bravely spoken out against the treachery which the Curonian government has wrought upon its people. I ask that some measure of asylum and resettlement be made offered to these loyalist refugees.

I must beg your pardon, honorable sir, but I believe it is in your best intentions – and that of your chamber – to work at haste, and to feel the rejuvenating vigor that we the people feel in waging this war with our sweat and blood. After all, this war is a war in defense of the constitution. Your venerable chamber, the Imperial Senate, was first instituted by the graces of  H.E. Adrian Leopold, and sustained by his chosen successor, H.I.M. Peter III. This war is to decide whether our constitution will last against the sword of despotism.

YOUR CONSTITUENT AND FRIEND,

SER BEELZEBUB BASARAB, ENS. 1^st HELENA REGULARS

@Hanrahan

”Noble and venerable writing.”

Ser Beelzebub comments upon reading the letter, which by then had made its rounds to the streets of Helena.

TO MY BELOVED COUNTRYMEN,

I first enlisted as an ensign under the Protectorate of Adrian. It was a different, unstable time then. I have seen the winds of progress reform the constitution of this country, and witnessed firsthand as the project begun. I write as I bear, with all my countrymen, the existential threat which the State faces.

Some sixteen years ago our fair country was upon the brink of collapse. The war had left our spirit sapped, and discord held free reign upon the hearts of the people. The petty provinces staked their claims, and dug the trenches for a continuation of bloodshed. Unity was to be obliterated.

This was not to be. In brotherhood, the provinces took council with one another, and as if inspired by love for a higher cause, threw down their self-interest, and submitted themselves to the reign of Young Alexander. In history, this was an anomaly. Empires, or so they say, are forged by conquest; but what of love for country?

It was not the sword which brought us from desolation, but a united spirit, that ever-flaming will of an Orenian heart. Our history tells us that the Exalted Sigismund, after the Exodus of Horen the Black, wept in pity for his shattered country. So too did King Silus, his contemporary; so much in sorrow were these two lords, petty as they were, that they threw down their swords, and Silus submitted himself to Sigismund, not by conquest but love: love for Oren, their beloved country.

Preeminent amongst the nations of the world, Oren stands ever in splendor, the finest of the great empires. From sea to shining sea she has spread her influence. The Johannian Restoration saw her triumph against odds which would have cowed lesser men. What is this tenacity, this inveterate will, which has maintained her spirit through the rise and fall of centuries.

It is her people, who throw themselves down at her hearth, who pray at her altars, those great men who surrender their very lives for her continued prosperity. Orenian history, unlike the histories of lesser states, is defined by selfless men. She does not tolerate tyranny, nor does she tolerate those who put themselves above the good of the country; she destroys them, and raises up those who will serve her to their utmost. The histories are filled with these men of courageous virtue. It was Saint Thomas of Gaekrin who mortified his personal ambitions, and surrendered his life to service. It was Adrian Rothesay, that bulwark of the Eighteen Years’ War, who declared that the world was not enough for his beloved Oren. Blessed Vytenis, realizing the peril of his sovereign Emperor John Frederick, threw himself at the feet of his would-be assassins, giving up his ghost that the spirit of the State be preserved.

Is this not the marking of better men? Forgetting themselves, they know only the State. Their courageous hearts they offer, not for personal gain, but for eternity; towering heights of greatness they create, brick by brick, for the glorification of something higher than mere men: their beloved country.

Reports arrive of defeats which we have suffered against the villains who have set themselves to tearing apart the motherland. It is true, we have taken setbacks, and a good few in number. But what shall we do? The State calls for the next generation of men that shall bleed for her continued prosperity, and that of her posterity. In desperation, she calls for the heroes who will maintain her, and the constitution.

I call upon my countrymen to enlist, or die. There are hordes at the gates who believe themselves ready to be our country’s undoing. I have no such biting fears in my heart, that should I die for her sake, it would be in vain; for generations braver hence shall gather up the pieces, and continue the fight for her sake, the eternal cause.

Thomas Elliot Alstion, Imperial Prince of the Empire of Man, Count of Enswerp, 8th General of the Imperial Renatian Legion, and Knight-Errant of the Imperial Order of the Red Dragon.

’the Blue’

Thrust into battle young, Thomas fought alongside his uncle, Cassius Horen. He took to leading naturally, learning from Cassius and even offering useful advice despite his age, proving an apt mind for military strategy. He has passionately defended the capital of the Heartlands throughout his life, believing that it is of utmost importance to keep the city secure and clean of the bandit menace that plagues the continent. 

He eagerly told his bedridden father, Charles Elliot, of his military escapades each time he visited him, and asked the aging military genius to aid his own developing mind to lead as well as him, one day. He spent many nights listening to his father’s tales, tending to his coughing fits and cherishing the dwindling time that they had. This continued until Charles’ illness sadly took him during the night. 

Having no children of his own, Thomas spent long hours educating his various nephews and nieces on who they should be, almost a father to some. The War of the Two Emperors left a hole in many of these children’s families, one that he happily filled during the downtime of controlling the roads around the settlement of Leuven.

General Elliot was a crucial component of the Renatian warmachine. Renowned for his prowess and decisive nature in battle, he provided his soldiers with a sense of urgency and loyalty which spurred them to action. Elliot’s capability of issuing orders firmly, and ensuring that they were carried out, drove him swiftly up the ranks of the Imperial Renatian Legion.

Elliot earned the epithet ‘the Blue,’ given by Emperor Peter III Sigismund. He is regarded as a siegemaster for his utterly destructive two-year campaign against the Third Atlas Coalition, which saw the capitulation of four cities and the following surrender of the enemy. Without Elliot, it was said, the war would have lasted much longer; and cost many more lives of Imperial soldiers.

He was recalled from retirement during the Orcish Axis War, 1734, by the wishes of Lord Protector Adrian Leopold. When sent against walls of Mokh’Uruk, it’s said that the city capitulated within a mere three days, one of the swiftest victories ever achieved in human history.

The Siege of Arberrang, 1691

Below is Thomas Elliot’s official war record, for all services in command rendered to the Holy Orenian Empire.

Third Atlas Coalition, 1690

Thomas Elliot was promoted temporarily to the office of General in the Imperial Renatian Legion. His exploits included logistical management and siege warfare in unison with Siegemaster Tiberius. Although the office of Grand Marshal was occupied by Cassius Horen, people mistakenly attribute the victories to be his success solely which was not the case. Notable engagements where Thomas Elliot was a primary commander are:

The Siege of Nordengrad, 1690

The Siege of San’Kala, 1690

The Siege of Arberrang, 1691

The Siege of Kal’Tarak, 1692
 

The Siege of San’Kala, 1690

The Orcish Axis War, 1734

The Western Alliance formed after the Orcish Axis War declared war on the High Elven state of Haelun’or. The Western Alliance advanced upon the fringes of the orcish badlands and set siege to the capital city of the Mohk’Uruk federation. Thomas Elliot was elevated to Imperial High Command and led the Siege of Mohk’Uruk, ending in a victory for the Western Alliance. Notable engagements where Thomas Elliot was a primary commander are:

The Siege of Mohk’Uruk, 1737

For his swift and decisive victory in the Siege of Mohk’Uruk, 1737, Emperor Peter III Sigismund awarded General Elliot with another star. By this recognition, he was raised from a two star general to a three star general, and awarded a baton which signifies his office, and his authority to lead soldiers of the Imperial State Army into battle.
