Hope you're OK James have a good night :)

A golden haired man strode into the Cathedral of the Ascent, windows covered in black drapes, candles flickering for the soul of the Pontiff. He too had come to light a candle, out of feigned piety if nothing else. He inspected the holy place, throngs of people, dressed in blacks and greys, yet there stood Hieronymus, bright red coat. This faux pas infuriated him, of course he should've worn black, foolish idiot. His rage at himself subsided, however, when he saw a woman loudly weep nearby, hankerchief by her eyes, clearly sad. The Couentran's eyes shifted to a familiar figure by the coffin, Gawain, he too crying. Their pain and sorrow confused him. Was it faked? Like he had planned to light a candle, was this all an act? He looked once more upon Gawain's figure, legitimate sorrow upon the Gwynonese's face. Gawain is not an emotional man, being quite erratic, Hieronymus thought, it would not make sense for the Cardinal to fake his distress. This led him to a far greater question. Why did he not feel anything? Should, at least, the slightest of tears not be summoned forth by him? After all, the faithful vicar of God had been murdered. Shouldn't this stir something within Hieronymus? He looked on, grasping his candle on one hand and his coat with another. Whenever he recognized that he was different, unfeeling and wroth, he got like this. Anxiety rose. He clenched his jaw. Why was he different? Why was he not saddened? Why did he never feel remorse? Why was he a monster?! He turned his back upon the coffin that bore the body, and left.

@JoanOfArcis actually rly horrible please ban

"Does the Church even have the authority to trial civilians? Not to mention that there's no Canon Law on warfare, I don't think. This is all mad screeching it seems, quite amusing screeching though." Comments a certain Couentran man while smoking a premium Wett™ cigar.

Why do we carry on with our wretched miserable existence? And, in 2500 words, could you explain the rise and fall of the near Eastern early Neolithic natufian culture and the way that sedentarization impacted human development?

Inspired by the early Christians who became monks and went into the Egyptian desert in order to be separated from society, Blessed Langford and some of his disciples created various orbital hermitages. These hermitages were regarded well by the Catholic hierarchy, and this was the start of the Sidereal Monasticism movement. These are the roots of the Apostolate of the Word. With the increase in secularism and atheism in the west, the Catholic Church's outlook changed, from a global, open organization ready to flex its influence into a much more introspective and pastoral church. It's active members in Western nations became fewer, but those few grew in their fervor and so the steady decline plateaued. Now a new opportunity of proselytism and growth presents itself to Rome. Pope Gregory XVII has called for new church reforms and the beginning of a new Apostolic Age, he had a dream of a truly Universal Church, with its presence in the stars themselves, it was this task that the Pope presented to the Langfordian Fathers. With donations from the Roman Curia and Congregations from all over Earth, a colonial endeavor was started, colony ships were built and a new Apostolate under the Langfordian Fathers was started. Soon the very word of Christ would be proclaimed not only in space, but in Alien worlds!

Prince-Abbacy of San Anselmo PINK João#4069 HISTORIA DE RELIGIOSI ANSELMINI Started by the hermit, Saint Anselm the Lesser, the town grew around the lonely hermit as shepherds and farmers seeked his holy wisdom, as well as defend themselves from country bandits in the hillock where the saint seeked refuge. Saint Anselm soon found himself with various disciples whom he took under his wing and thus made his own monastic rule, mixing heavy asceticism with a semi-cloistered lifestyle, with the Saint’s motto being: “Urbis Manemus, in Coelo Speramus”, In the City we dwell, in Heaven we hope. This mixture of asceticism with urbanism led to, in the 1000s, after the town of San Anselmo had been raided by various roaming bandit groups, the town folks throwing off the yoke of the Signoria and choosing the Abbot as the local lord. Dom Idelfonse, 5th Abbot of the Order of Saint Anselm, became the Lord San Anselmo and the surrounding pastoral fields. Using the Monastery’s defenses and by contracting mercenaries the Monastery proved a worthy defender of the local people. The Anselmites’ influence quickly spread across the region previously devoid of any strong central authority, with the local mannorial and pastoral lords accepting the monastic rule. During the Rupertian War of Unification, in the 1100s, the Anselmites supported the cause of the Prince, sending some meagre troops for the war effort as well as sending some monetary aid. Being one of the few eastern lords to support Rupert, the now King gave some parcels of land to the otherwise impoverished holdings of the Abbot, as well as legally recognising the Anselmites as lords of the local lands, elevating the Abbey into a Princely-Abbey. This new growth of land, however, meant that new lords were now under the abbot. Being displeased with this arrangement, in 1197, the northern nobility raised their hosts, fighting a skirmish with the Abbot’s militia near Guilianno’s Well. The battle was inconclusive but with both faction’s financial situation in peril they agreed to sign an agreement, the Abbot would preside over a new Signoria which would vote on various monetary matters. This Signoria was made up of the petty mannorial nobility and the Bonshommes, rich peasants and merchants given access to the Signoria by the Abbot. The Order of Saint Anselm the Lesser is not in particularly good relations with the Klangenfurtian church hierarchs, Saint Anselm’s Rule did not sit well with some past Archbishops, who sought to bring the abbey under their control as well as to bring the order’s Regula more in line with Dominican and Benedictine standards. The Anselmites fought against this, even recurring to foreign Bishops to confer holy orders and to tonsure future monks.

Began by the hermit, Saint Anselm the Lesser, the town quickly grew as the hillock was defensible against the country bandits. As more and more people came into the hillock and surrounding plains. As the city grew it began holding various leatherworkers, a few smiths, some taverns and a couple of parish churches. The real economic boon of the town, however, is the annual pilgrimage in June, where pilgrims come from many parts of Klagenfurt in order to pray near the relics of Saint Anselm. Every June thousands of pilgrims come and go, leaving plenty of coin as they leave donations to the monastery, they buy food, and sometimes, as they buy women. Other than the businesses associated with the pilgrimages, San Anselmo boasts of a thriving leatherworking industry, as every year at the start of Autumn, the various cattle ranchers, be they freemen or serfs of various noble families, bringing their cattle to San Anselmo to be slaughtered. As the meat is cured, salted and traded away, the leather stays, being cured, tanned and made into various products. Alongside all the economic factors San Anselmo is the political and religious center of the region, being where the Palazzo de Signoria is located and where the Abbey of Saint Anselm the Lesser is located. This makes it the most important urban center in the region. That being said, San Anselmo is still one of the smallest urban centers of Klagenfurt, with little over than 10.000 inhabitants, being the poorest also. The remaining 80.000 are spread across the Prince-Abbacy, with 5.000 living inside the walled port of San’Angelo in the south.

Nation applying for: Crimean Khanate BREIF History of your Nation: As the Borjigin mongols drove westerwards they came in contact with turkic kipchaks, mixing quickly began as the Borjigin, led by Bodonchar Munkhang, incorporated various kipchak tribes. This mixture of peoples resulted in the “tatars”. Bodonchar settled in the middle of the scythian steppe, dividing his tribe upon his death, his son receiving parts. One of his sons, Bodonchar Batu, known as Batu Khan, led his host south, moving to the old Kingdom of the Bosporus. The greek colony had been in a long state of decline over the centuries, being subject to countless raids from northern steppe peoples, both of turkic and indo-european extraction. This led to an easy occupation of northern crimea. Whilst cities in the north like Tanais along the Don river had fallen, cities like Kimmerikon, Theodosia and Scythian Neapolis resisted the northern advances of the tribes. A local despot had arisen, Alexandros Gabras, claiming the title of “Basileius of Kimmerikon”, and as a military man he proved to be a competent leader, causing the Tartars many defeats. Seeing that the south would not yield Batu Khan approached Alexandros and a compromise was met: Batu would marry one of Alexandros’ daughters and their progeny will inherit both the Khanate and the greek colonies. Batu married Alexandros’ daughter, Athena, the ceremony being performed in both the hellenic and tengri rites. With the death of the aged Alexandros, Batu placed his son, Aegimon (Ayushiridara in Tatar), as Basileius of Kimmerikon. The aged Batu spent the remainder of his life subjugating surrounding tribes and greek colonies. Passing away, Aegimon ascended as both Basileius to the greeks, and Khan to his father’s people. The fusion of greek and turkic beginning in his reign. To cement this he took the name of Bargion-Garbas (Bargion being the hellenised version of Borjigin). Leader(s): Cassinian II Bargion-Garbas.
