"So I assume Hyspia isn't owed an apology for the raid during the Baile de Navidad in the Tuvmas season. I recall seeing quite many notable Veletzers there with their allies." Commented the Viceroy. It is conceded, the missive does read that such acts during war are justified. Yet, as a devout Canonist, Cesar II thought the act during such a holy season to be more of a betrayal of faith. Perhaps...if they had sent diplomats in the place of armed militants thirsting for the blood of Hyspians, things would have been different.

We have attempted diplomacy before the war, yet it was met with a threat. Rather, you would lay in bed with the Orcish Horde who crave to see humanity suffer or submit to their imperial rule. You have danced to the tunes of conquest more than we have. If that is your wish, then so be it. You may hide in your straw castle, but the Covenant shall blow it down.

The Viceroy of Hyspia was honored to have the Qalasheen live amongst his people. “May they prosper beside us.” He mused with an approving nod.

"War." Cesar II muttered, his narrowed gaze falling upon the wounded orc before him. "It is a necessity for survival." With a harrowing thrust, the Hyspian Rey pushed his longsword down upon the orcish warrior's chest. "I will do anything to see our people thrive. If Gaspard and Grommash wish to see us fall, if they wish to threaten us to kneel before them. They may do so in their unfulfilled dreams." He held the longsword now with his mechanical hand, a reminder of the struggles his people now face against the Orcish threat. He used his other gauntleted arm to clean the blood of the orc he had slaughtered before making his way back to his Viscount's side. @Nymstra The Viceroy was now in his middle aged years. He had longed for a peaceful reign, a peaceful era for his people. But he knew what had to be done. The Hyspian state will survive, only once their threats were all abolished. This was their peace.

Cesar II couldn't believe it! He was a grandfather now! Oh how adorable did the little one look. "The future of Hyspia couldn't be ever the more brighter." He murmured as he held her in his arms when his daughter offered the young Santana to him.

The Viceroy of Hyspia, a fellow Nation Leader, kneels before the altar as he prays for Celianor to finally get a mine. “Please DIOS. Give our elven friends a mine.”

Cesar II enjoys reading the Kactuz Weekli, for it is quite an informative newspaper. However, the Viceroy scratches his head at the recent developments regarding this other new Qalasheen tribe. He searches through the library within the palace, finding the treaty which he made with the Qalasheen not too long ago. He read through its contents as he then murmured, “Perhaps I should send them a letter. We did offer the good Qalasheen their own land, government and autonomous community, for we respected their interest in settling the desert. We even offered to purchase land for them as well. After all, their religion is something which I deeply respect and can relate to through my own Canonist faith.” The Viceroy would then pen a neatly written letter, sending it to Sultan Mehmed afterwards along with the copy of the pact, hopeful for some diplomacy with the good Qalasheen folk who themselves had helped Hyspia many times.

[!] An envelope sealed in blue wax of the Viceroyal House of De Pelear would arrive at the doorstep of Dona Vuiller's home. The envelope would contain a letter within: Dear Senorita Vuiller, Your missive has reached the terrorities of Hyspia. Upon reading it, I find your mission to be quite commendable. If you are interested, you are more than invited to study the marine life of Hyspia. La Corte de Girasol and I will also be oblidged to offer you further information and knowledge of the acquatic life within el Rio de Zafiro. Please do visit us sometime. You and your fellow scholars' shall receive protection whilst within our lands. We would love to have a chat with you! Kind Regards, Cesar II de Hyspia

Honestly, yeah this would probably be one of my most fun moments! It felt like we started a Scooby Doo or misfits gang in Haense. FORT FORT FOREVER!!!

Cesar II sheds a happy tear as he smiles proudly. “My daughter is all grown up now. She will make a strong leader in the future. Congratulations to the both of you!” Cesar II was truly impressed by Dmitri’s martial prowess during their duel. He was content knowing his daughter will be with someone willing to protect her with his life.

Cesar II clutched his rosary whilst kneeling in front of an altar, murmuring a gentle prayer for the lives that will be lost in this upcoming battle. He then stood up from his kneeling position whilst he signed the lorraine over his chest. "May DIOS see all of mankind, the righteous amongst us, return back to him in the seven skies." A sigh escaped the Viceroy's lips afterwards, "Although it is unfortunate. I do find it quite dishonorable to murder a young king, all because he wished for peace. Where is the honor in that? If only Stassion did not succumb to such a rash decision, betraying your own comrades does not net you grace from the Almighty. Pettiness in such forms have dire consequences."

“Unity. Regardless of the constant raids and attacks upon our homes. We shall persevere. For it was the Queen of Balian who personally visited us with a plethora of armor and resources. It was the Lord Marshal of Haense who provided us further assistance in resources and defense. It was the Queen of Petra who personally came with her architects to assist us in furthering the defenses of our city. Hyspia honors her commitments. Just like her allies. We shall always be resilient.” Commented the Viceroy of Hyspia with a nod.

Gaius, upon hearing the news of the death of his cousin, murmured a soft prayer whilst he sat by the fireplace in Marsana Keep. He then curled his lips into a soft yet solemn smile. "And so we pass the watering pot to another. Rest well Adrian..." He let out a feeble exhale as he struggled to get up from his seat whilst using his cane as balance. "I believe my time has come too...I shall see you soon in the Seven Skies."

The youngest son of Liridona, Benedict did not need to speak to anyone. He had already prepared his horse to begin his journey to Veletz to find his Mamej.

“Oh cool a wild Jerry! Good to see some friendly orcs on our side!” Commented a random Hyspian nationalist who went by the name Luis.

Upon hearing the news and the delivery of the letter, Cesar let out a gentle sigh. Another member of the family, his dearest aunt, passed away to the perilous oceans of war. Although the Viceroy's newly implemented eyes were not fully functional as of yet, he managed to read the contents of the letter. "Lo siento...tia...I couldn't protect you. I promise to make sure we have a home for us all. I promise to keep us all alive." He glanced towards the saber hanging by the wall in the throne room. "We fight for our people. We fight for you."

This is pretty cool actually!

Cesar II really enjoyed fighting alongside his fellow Yacht Team 6 comrades and the famous Captain Banjo!

"A wise choice. Illyria and her people need not suffer amidst this war. May the monarch of Celia'nor and her people prosper ever the more." Mused Cesar II. He remembered attending the Coronation of Illyria Ibarellan not too long ago. They had openly invited him and his people as honored guests. "Our fight is not with them. This is our peace."

The Viceroy of Hyspia, upon having been consulted by Demitrey before he published the missive, nodded his head in affirmation. “We do not intend to shed innocent blood…may DIOS guide Lady Viktoria to see reason. Hyspia shall allow her a temporary home if she and her children need it.”

An aged Ruthern from Balian, having had come across this missive during a feeble stroll to Portoregne, raised a brow. A sigh escaped his lips as he then returned home to pen a public letter in response: "Dear Viktoria, I may not be physically involved in this war, however, my allegiance to my nation and to my family who are involved in this conflict compels me to write you this public letter. Your Papej-may he rest in peace in the seven skies-and I have had a long history. We have been at each other's side since our teenage years. I remember when he had asked me to take care of you until his return during our escape from Almaris. I am also aware of your friendship with my son, Rhys var Ruthern. Although my memory has faded further since my younger days, I still remember these aspects of my past life. Thus, I write to you in response to your missive. What is there to gain for keeping your children there? If the Covenant wishes to siege the Keep, their reason is for tactical and military purposes, not to murder civilians and children out of spite. I further ask, why would your nation insist on keeping you and your people there if Veletz knows that a public declaration by the Covenant was distributed with the intention to siege that land? Would that not be merely a form of manipulation on their part? You have a choice here. All nations of Canondom have agreed to welcome you with open arms. Our grievance is not with you, but with Veletz itself due to the actions of its leadership and militant soldiers. What do you gain in fighting this conflict? You are being misled by their own propaganda. If you believe you cannot leave your nation out of fear, then would that not mean that you are being kept there against your own free will? Again I ask, Viktoria, what do you have to gain in this conflict if you are concerned for your own children? Your departure from the lands of Veletz will be assured by the Covenant if you open your mind for a moment and realize that none of their leadership are monsters in disguise. They will guarantee your safe departure and travel. Your nation manipulates you into staying. They are feeding you lies and fear to keep you there in an attempt to appeal to Pathos. Do not succumb to their manipulation. You must open your mind to understand this truth. You are free to take your family elsewhere, to any nation. Not one faithful soul will stop you from doing so, and not one soul will harm a Canonist widow and her children. The choice falls to you, Viktoria. Not on to us. The Covenant guarantees yours and your children's safety. But can your nation guarantee that to you? There is still time Viktoria. Do not let overzealous patriotism blind your decisions. Kindest Regards, Gaius var Ruthern"

✠ Orden de Francisco ✠ The Franciscian Order Issued by the Viceroyal Crown 8th of Owyn's Wake, 80 D.R. Prelude [!] The Franciscian Order rallies to defend the Canon faith. The question of a nation’s survival and the defense of its homeland must be answered by its ability to protect itself. That ability is resonant in its people. Countless tales enumerate the brave Hyspians of yore who have laid down their lives in defense of their culture. The Fransician Order is a product of that historical passion for the Hyspian cause. That passion shall be honed and refined to preserve and protect the Hyspian Crown, her people, and the Canon Faith. After many years of reliance on the Crown of Haenseti-Ruska for the protection of her people, it has now become imperative for Hyspia to take up her own arms once again. Therefore, it is by decree of the Viceroyal Crown to introduce a reformation and reorganization of the armed forces into an unyielding structure; to be used as a model for the rest of Hyspia’s continued existence. Duties of the Order [!] A Franciscian knight being sent on a quest. The order relies on three tenets of faith and loyalty to demonstrate exemplary comradery amongst its members. All members must abide by the three core tenets. “Love thy Faith and thy Nation. An insult to a Hyspian is an insult to all. Follow thy Oath and never stray afar.” The duties of a soldier of the Crown are numerous. The main duties affirmed are to protect the people, bring honor to the Crown, and to achieve personal glory on and off the battlefield. Soldiers are expected to act in a manner that reflects the Order’s moral code, whilst never violating the basic moralities that a soldier may hold. Every man and woman that serves in the military is expected to keep a strong ethical code and follow orders only when they are morally sound. With martial prestige as a soldier comes martial responsibility. The regiment requires its soldiers to participate in intense training to ensure only the most disciplined and skilled are representing the nation. Every soldier is trained to follow orders in combat and any violation of this could result in loss of pay, or even loss of rank depending on the severity of the situation. Actions such as supporting an enemy of Hyspia, or an enemy of Canonism as a whole will result in an immediate court martial, loss of pay and rank, possible blacklist from the Regiment, or even execution if found guilty. Oaths and Traditions To be oathed is a centuries old tradition in which each member is tested upon their personal becoming. To truly be an asset and of sound prestige within the Order, each recruited member must face a fully grown bull in the ring. In the event however that they have proven themselves through heroism or displayed their steadfast loyalty in the protection of Hyspia, they may be exempted. Once an initiated soldado has taken on the bull they are then moved on to the duel. Only the upper ranks of the Order may conduct the oath. With this in mind the initiate in testing will be expected to duel an upper ranking member of the Order. To win or lose is less valuable than the true purpose of this test: to see where the skill sets of the recruit lies. A true testing and show of strength however may lead to a quicker promotion. It is at the will of the Viceroy or the Colonel to decide such. The Oath “I, _____, do solemny swear to uphold the honor, integrity, and stability of the Hyspian Crown. I shall uphold the Laws of Hyspia, uphold the three main tenets, perform my duties to the best of my ability, and I shall protect the Viceroyal Family and all Citizens of Hyspia.” Divisions and Squadrons División de St. Peter The División de St. Peter is the largest of the three divisions, serving as the general infantry force of the Order. This division is where all new members of the Order first join where they may remain, or transfer to another division. Escuadrón de St. Foltest The Escuadrón de St. Foltest are the siege engineers of the Order, tasked with ensuring the safety of the city from sieges, along with being experts in siege weapons. Escuadrón de St. Amyas Escuadrón de St. Amyas serve as the medics and alchemists of the Order. They are the foremost medical experts and physicians taxed with healing the wounded, sick and dying members of the order. Their responsibilities can also extend to the Hyspian citizens. División de St. Tylos The División de St. Tylos acts as the cavalry of the Order. Be it hard hitting cavalry charges, hit and run tactics, to quick and speedy scouts or messengers. The División de St. Tylos are skilled in it. Escuadron de St. Tara Escuadron de St. Tara is filled with swift riders and keen scouts. Tasked with locating threats to the realm and being the first into battle. The Escuadron de St. Tara acts as the first line of defense of Hyspia. Escuadron de St. Edmond Composed of formal knights of the order and their squires. The Escuadron de Saint Edmond is regarded as the most prestigious and elite cohort of the squads. They are considered the heavy cavalry unit of the Hyspian military. The Escuadron de St. Edmond is also granted the prestigious responsibility to personally protect the Viceroy and the Viceroyal household. División de St. Adrian The División de St. Adrian serves as the logistical side of the Hyspian military. Ensuring that every soldier has a blade in their hand, and plate on their chest. Their duties are important to the success of the entire Order. Escuadron de St. Robert Serving as the record keepers of the Order. The Escuadron de St. Robert ensures that all ledgers from supplies to manpower are up to date and correct. Escuadron de St. Johannes The Escuadron de St. Johannes travels the lands far and wide to ensure that the needs of the Order are upkept. From basic materials such as coal and iron, to rare herbs and ores for special weapons, the Escuadron de St. Johannes helps ensure the Order has what it needs. Ranks Gran Maestre The honorary title belongs to the Viceroy of Hyspia. Traditionally serving as the head of order and commander-in-chief of its members.

Along with this title comes the title of Ser and Knight. Caballero Comendador The honorary name for the Colonel. The Caballero Comendador is the highest authority in the practical chain of command, second in official rank to only the Gran Maestre.

Along with this rank comes the title of Ser and Knight. Caballero Capitán Selected by the Gran Maestre and Caballero Comendador, a Caballero Capitán is tasked with leading a division of the Order, and ensuring their division is skilled in their assigned speciality and overall competency at combat. Along with this rank comes the title of Ser and Knight. Sargento The Sargento acts as the second in command of a squadron. Assisting their Capitán in the running of the squadron.

Learning the basics of the military and assisting whenever they are needed. Once they are deemed fit to be a part of the Order they will be promoted to Soldado. Trials of Chivalry To become a credible knight in the Order, one must embark on a set of trials that will shape and carve them into the most perfect, trustable, form of intelligent-warrior-philosopher. These trials are meant to test every aspect and facet of the knight in question, but the Order is also under the belief that every knight should have a choice in what they see most important to their upbringings - decision making is a key trait in such a figure after all. That is why the trials will be based off of a points system with only one required trial that everyone has to complete. The text below categorizes Trials as well as puts a value to their worth; each trial may only be completed once, and each squire has to complete at least 1 trial from each category before doing a second one from another. In order to qualify for the final trial, one must accumulate 10 points worth of trials. Of course if a squire thinks of another adequate form of trial that will gain them points, that is fine. It first must be passed by their knight as a trial worthy of praise and showing off their trained attributes. Trials of Piety A knight must show devoutness to the church of cannonism, and a healthy one too. Above everything is the crown and nation of Hyspia - religion takes a close second. Don’t be mistaken though. A knight without spirituality is no knight at all. Trial types Fell an unholy creature in the name of Hyspia’s church and provide proof of kill (2pts) Embark on a holy pilgrimage in which they gain blessings of all the cannonist nations - bring proof of blessings back to the crown. (3pts) Provide a substantial donation to the church and get a document that proves their pilgrimage. Trials of Diplomacy Any knight of the order must be skilled in communications with Hyspia, and other allied - sometimes not allied - nations. This trial will depend upon multiple factors since it really depends on what the other nations need during that moment. This trial will likely count for 2 points required for the final trial. Trial types Attend a diplomatic meeting between the crown and another nation as an ambassador - contribute to whatever this might be in a meaningful way. (1pt) Fulfill the needs of another nation after seeking out a person in power and obtaining a quest and bring back a note from said nation’s leader/person in power that proves their aide. (2pts) Fulfill the needs of another nation based on a task given by the crown and bring back a note from said nation’s leader/person in power that proves their aide. (1pt) Attend a diplomatic meeting between the crown and another nation as an ambassador - contribute to whatever this might be in a meaningful way. (1pt) Trials of Honorable Combat As a knight, not only should they be filled with a vast wealth of knowledge - having an in-depth knowing of the Hyspian Culture and some of the other nations surrounding it - gaining a unique philosophy that is aligned with Hyspia’s most prosperous future - showing care for their spiritual health, which means having a healthy relationship with Canonism. It is any squire’s duty to prove their body and combative prowess is up to par with the rest of their attributes. It should come easy to them; very easy. By this point of their training, if their knight and military experience has done all it was meant to, they should be more than capable of fighting honorably and righteously for the crown. Trial Types Gain Heroic merit from the crown itself for an experience of combat directly from the field (3pts) Fell an enemy of the state through a duel (2pts) Fell a creature that is a threat to descendants [this and the unholy creature felling trial do not go together. They must be done separately](2pts) Trials of Culture Hyspia above all else is a knight’s most sacred and devout duty. In order to truly become capable of serving this nation, one first must prove their knowledge of its vast history. Trial Types Undergo a testing from their assigned knight on the Hyspian culture (2pts) Host a cultural event for the nation of Hyspia to enjoy. The event must tie into Hyspian history (3pts) Trial of Fealty (The last trial one must complete after accumulating a total of 10pts.) In order to prove one's complete and absolute undying loyalty to the crown, a knight must complete a task given directly by the crown - this task can be anything the crown deems worthy, but above all, it must be a daunting and truly trying test of everything that knight has worked toward. The Ceremony Upon the completion of their trial, the squire shall go through a pious ceremony to be officially ordained within the Order. The ceremony shall be held within El Palacio de Girasol and shall be hosted by the Viceroy. All squires who adhere to the Canonist faith or who wish to convert to Canonist must also go through an orthodox baptism, to cleanse their previous sins and to further purify themselves before GOD. Releasement of Position, and Traitorous Actions Honorable Discharge If one was to suddenly become incapable of serving the Order, or had been deemed incapable of doing so, the Crown has access to managing the status of their duties and title. An honorable discharge implies one’s title will stay and keep the weight for how much they have done, while relieving the said person in question of their duties. Some possible reasons for an honorable discharge might look as follows: Aging out of service, catastrophic injury from heroic combat in the name of the crown, those the crown deems worthy, any knight rank. Being granted an Honorable Discharge allows a knight to keep their title as Ser. General Discharge An Under-Honorable Discharge is a category that acts as a way for a soldier to ‘unenlist’ from service without facing any consequences or punishment. Another reason this type of discharge is used, is for someone that is deemed as inactive or not of enough service to the crown. In order to qualify for an under-honorable discharge, they have to have served at least 5 years of service - any rank qualifies for this. Once they are Under-Honorably discharged, they lose all titles but face no punishment. Being granted a General Discharge does not allow a knight to keep their title as Ser. Dishonorable Discharge One who has fallen victim to a dishonorable discharge has sullied or betrayed the crown from a very mild, to a very large degree. Any titles they have at that moment will be stripped from them and likely will face a small fine, punishment, or even execution. Such consequences shall be in respect to their culpability and guilt. Some punishable deeds for a dishonorable discharge are Murder, Fraud, Desertion on field or to the crown, or treason. Being given a Dishonorable Discharge does not allow a knight to keep their title as Ser. Enlistment Prior to enlistment, one must satisfy the minimum prerequisites required for admission: I. One must be at least thirteen summers old. II. One must be a Hyspian citizen. III. One must be of able mind and body. If all prerequisites are satisfied then the candidate may be admitted into the Order at the Gran Maestre’s discretion. To defend ones home and nation is a right that all Hyspians shall hold. The Order shall be the main force of resistance against all oppressive forces that seek to bring woe to our nation. May DIOS keep Hyspia and her people, ever steadfast and determined in their right to exist. Viva Hyspia! Con DIOS Avanzamos, HIS HIGHNESS, Cesar II de Pelear, Viceroy of Hyspia, Duke of Pacazu, Baron of Arenisca and Del’mar, Lord of Ladorada, Lord of Niseep, Gereon's Hold, and Ciudad de Plata, Gran Maestre of El Orden de Francisco, Protector of the Hyspian People, Protector of the Farfolk, Patriarch of House de Pelear HER HIGHNESS, Ramona de Pelear, Crown Princesa of Hyspia, Duchess of Paraiso HIS EXCELLENCY, Señor Jose Fuentes, Caballero Comendador of El Orden de Francisco

Benny was too stunned to speak. Shocked, astounded, gob smacked, flabbergasted even. Nevertheless, his mother always told the truth. He could always trust her. But, what about Uncle Bo? Is he truly as treasonous as cousin Henrik's and his mother's treatises make him to be? But, what of his late brother? Who was slain in battle whilst fighting for his nation and family? A long few minutes had passed once he had read the missive. "Maybe...maybe he has a reason...da? Maybe if he apologizes everything will be ordak. H-he just needs to apologize to Mamej, Cozin Henrik...and Cozin Teddy."

Pretty neat! Awesome cinematic dude!

The Viceroy of Hyspia smiles upon reading the missive. "Yay! That's my homie! I'm so proud of him and Mariposa!"
