Guy d'Yood of Mann

A few uncanny lines of caligraphy would be added to this document's bottom. Peculiar. Almost as if this quill was held with a hand hardly made for such an endeavour. "Cecilia Sugarbean"

Well, the Augurs have already proven their worth, and the changes - more so a pile of explainations - aren't groundbreaking. For what my opinion's worth, I'd dare say, give that man some pats on the head and approve his work.

Threefold accursed a year. Alain knew not what to think of it, not much beyond grief that already made itself well at home, and that seemingly though itself to be staying. Where there were once eight, only five remain, and he knew perfectly well that another number would drop in time, too. People of the Winter Oak. Huh. Ghosts of the old way. Last few echoes of a dying people. And that folk was just as lost as himself, breaking into tears at the sordid homestead.

Brought back for this particular occasion because logic be damned, Alain would smile ever so slightly, cusping his lips and baring the teeth, a vivid expression of a boy seeing the fairytales come true. Also cause he's proud. As faff. Don't mind it.

Hadrian Pesiverre signs the charter. Obnoxiously.

((*censored remarks about someone forgetting to format the text* Hadrian utters a solid blessing to all the newcomers, and a praise to the wall.

Pesiverre starts inventing a laughtrack to go with all the 'seeryoos deseeshawn mekeng'.

((Fixing depopulation by mimicking Oren's bad habit of decentralizing roleplay. Huh. ((If you're believin' that, then I got a lovely bridge for sale in London.

((A certain Pole wonders why he used to admire a certain halfling of a man. Much sad.

As the days pass and days grow ever longer, greeniest Jundi of them all was still happily working on a new, more defensible home their enclave had in mind. Looking across faces both familiar and not in the slightest, Hadrian would begin a quiet chant, a verse straight from the Askavar, voice crackling with wear, sacred words carried across the dusty air. "Atyaachaar ke khilaaph, koee aatmasamarpan nahin kiya ja sakata."

Fancy stuff, there. Gotta say, you can never have too many decently written cultures.

Upon receiving the news of such a pompous pamphlet being delivered throughout the realm, Hadrian couldn't help but grin, a predator's look upon the otherwise stalwart, stiff visage. If they thought that by poorly veiled lies and idiocy that made their chinless inbreds appear any smarter than the average cattle bred down the Thelas stream, their case was presente in any way convincing, then they've made yet another mistake, proving either the certainty they had of their victory, or nothing short of a lacking spine. People knew. People saw the bloodshed, the ignorance, the savagery. People who knew in every last bit that the peace offered to them would bring as much death as the war will. With that in his mind, he'd take to the training grounds again, preparing a few freshly conscripted rookies for the imminent time that would decide whether they'd be taking that foot outta the grave and shoving it up the imperial majesty's arse, or putting the second for company and passing a welcome to their long-coming rest. In a small quip, he'd mutter, his accent as thick as the rage fueling it, a word as he said to one of the fellows he'd not wish to meet in the coming slaughter: "Naw ah wandar haw we'll be hangen dat ex-diktatar. Gon'a be a challansh wet hes hed saw far awp Savay's arse."

My word doesn't mean much, and it carries even less factual weight to it, most of the time, but objectively speaking, I've seen a lot of Aengulic lore even in my few days, and that alone would've made me dislike a lot of the things that as much as concern our resident deificates. But as much as I can drive myself to dislike a bigarse deity and at times, or an LM taking a little bit too much enjoyance out of the privileges granted to them as their creators, I quite literally fail to find anything noteworthy to despise this piece for. It's well written, even if the certain lad would disagreed with me, and it provides a lot of memorable, and more importantly, roleplay-centered experience. Something that you're always more likely to look up to as an example of such, or at the very least, something you will recall unfathomably well - maybe have a grandpa of a character take his chainmail-clad grandchildren onto his lap to tell them the tales of something greater then a pulp repeated over and over until it loses any meaning and context. tl;dr, +1, you awesome bleep-er.
