Standing at the foot of the smoldering cathedral, the mali'ker Andromeda Vandi'ir stood in silent contemplation. Though she had missed the initial calamity, the elfess had been present for the succeeding spectacle that garnered the attention of what many had thought to be an aengul, sent from the valah-Creator himself. She had her doubts of the being's true intentions, a thumb rubbing over the bronze medallion that hung about her neck.

Just be glad you haven't seen logs about ooc plotting and discord rp negotiations, and offensive memes about your own persona....yet. If it reaches that point, then it'll be toxic.

Adeliza Warlai shudders from within the Princess' tower residence, looking out over the square-shaped expanse of Fort Myrine and greater-Drusco. The youth had already witnessed the deaths of her parents at a tender age. Part of her hoped she might not see such horrible things happen once again, in this new country of hers. The girl made haste for the royal couple's chambers, seeking comfort from her thoughts and this talk of a killer on the loose.

Princess Renata squinted at the signature, then grinned as she pointed it out to her young ward, Adeliza. "Must've written it wrong, hm?" she chuckled as she handed her the missive. "The fruits of the meeting earlier, my dear. This is how it all works. May peace lead our lands to prosperous ages."
The young Adeliza-Gisèle Warlai marvels at the affirmation of peace, having been allowed the opportunity to witness Savoy's own terms being laid out and decided upon just a saint's day previous. "I hope I can be so important like you someday, Princess!" She'd smile then, in awe of her guardian's statesmanship.
Unbeknownst to the girl, her connection to the entire conflict was far greater than she might ever know or comprehend. The universe had blessed her with such ignorance.

Princess Renata read over the missive in a state shock. And then she read it again.
"What the hell?" she uttered from her residence in the Duchy of Drusco.
"I guess I have preparations to make. My dearest brother, finally married."
Adeliza-Gisèle Warlai sat at her guardian's side, taking care not to prick her delicate fingers as Renata instructed her in needlework. The little orphan seemed to brim with excitement at the idea of attending her first wedding as the invitation was read, hoping the Princess of Savoy might bring her along.

The Dowager-Duchess of Adria awaited the safe arrival of her child, aged and embittered by her own failures as of late and praying Josephine might aid in the lifting of her spirits for a saint's weekend. Alas, it was never to come. The imperial remained oblivious from her place in exile.

Josephine Aleksandra prayed for the Presbyter's soul at the shrine to St Judith, the spires of Woldzmir standing tall around her. When she rose, it was on shaky legs. She used the walls to steady herself as she wound her way up to the Dowager's Tower.
"Have you heard the news?" Her voice was hoarse from disuse. "A woman of the Church, slain. If there are those willing to commit such an atrocity... I fear for you, Mother." @MunaZaldrizoti
Charlotte's eyes fell closed, taking in the news of yet another needless casualty amidst all of this conflict. The Presbyter had attended to her family at the memorial of Philip Aurelian, consecrating his burial ground and speaking against the excommunicated who had dared to step foot there. Now...she was dead.
"I only spoke with her a mere two saint's days ago...she swore that she would continue her work in Providence, no matter the danger," She'd relay to Josephine, "This is how they repaid her." The imperial drew in a breath, "If the person who committed this claims to be of GOD's flock...they follow no GOD that I've ever met."
And so, the Pretender-Empress began to author a public statement on the loss of the faithful and loyal Presbyter, who died hoping to free a nation from temporal tyranny.
5 -
"The heir to Othaman, you say?" She queried to her daughter, Josephine, as she aided the Pretender-Empress with sorting through the various missives and letters crossing her desk, "The blood of Mary Carrington, you mean to say," She'd correct her then, that final statement carrying more meaning than she relayed openly. "A child, made to speak on behalf of those who have sworn off GOD in favor of, as the Presbyter said, temporal power. I will pray for him, and for those other children that will likely be made to author such letters. Especially when he must contend with the taint of murder upon his lineage atop everything else."
To the imperial, it seemed murder had become a minor blemish upon a person's character in her stepson's empire. It would not be in hers.

"May he haunt you no longer, my darling Moliana," Charlotte spoke as the revelations were revealed to the world. The aged Imperial was glad that her children and grandchildren might now have support, in their attempts to be rid of this shadow-dwelling menace that had seemed intent upon tormenting them.

Charlotte let free a small sigh of relief, secretly glad her daughter had left that accursed legacy behind.

The Doctor received the missive that was placed on her desk, breaking open the seal to read the letter inside. Upon finishing the letter, Dr. Primrose Gendik-Komnenos brought a hand over her mouth in thought. The moment of ponderance passed, prompting the woman to remove a clean piece of parchment and start writing her own letter - poor birds in the past 24 saint-hours must be absolutely exhausted.
"To the High Pontiff,
I am sure you are getting many letters and missives these days, and without my face you may not recognize me - but we in fact have quite the history. Many years ago, you were the one who excommunicated Arlo Cooper and granted us a divorce - freeing me of the grief and pain that marriage faced me with.
Years have gone by since then, but our paths crossed once more at the attempted assassination in Oren. While I did not help with fighting as I was ill-equipped due to the losses of the war, I was there to treat your wound. I would like to apologize to my harshness to you or those around us, as many people talking and giving advice is very distracting and stresses me out while working - I am sorry that had happened. However, I of course write this letter out of concern and thus following if these concerns are confirmed, asking a favor.
An open letter has been written to you concerning excommunication of Oren as well as specific members that had signed their names on a letter written by Anastasia I. While of course this excommunication proposal will have to be considered by you and it may not be accepted, my concerns grow more by the minute.
First is the question of moral. One should not harm those who follow the Crown simply due to it being their job and survival. Those who live within Oren and signed that letter should not be penalized for something they cannot control. All in all, you will be affecting those who defended you in that assassination attempt and people like Sir Jarad Munnel Vuillerian, whom you've granted great recognition to in a recent missive.
My main concern is not on recognition for treating your wound, but on a specific man. One man on that proposed list - an Arthur Komnenos - is my current husband. A husband much better than Arlo Cooper. A good man who fights for the justice of people just trying to survive in this cruel world. While I am not asking for public recognition, I do ask for a favor that is owed be returned at this time. If this list shall be followed and the excommunications commence, spare my husband.
No person in this conflict of missives is clean of sins, not even I. While the Emperor and Empress surely have their flaws and sins brought forth by the concerns of Charlotte Augusta Novellen, so too is this Charlotte not absolved of sin. I am appalled that this excommunication is being brought upon the people of Oren who must live with their situation and do what is done to survive and are being punished for it, when Charlotte was caught in bed with the King of Urguan during a raid on Urguan in the early days of the war. What greater sin is committing such an act - an act between a husband and wife that is so sacred - and yet was done between a human and dwarf out of wedlock? Where are the cries of outrage for them?
I do not care about the outrage against Charlotte nonetheless, but wish to point out the hypocrisy of the situation. I merely bring this letter asking for a due favor. I hope this letter finds you well amongst the chaos of missive wars and that the wound has properly healed and has left you without a scar.
GODspeed,
Doctor Primrose Gendik-Komnenos
Baroness of St. Lothar"
Dr. Primrose Gendik lifted the piece of parchment from where it rested on the desk to gently blow onto the ink. Once it was dry, she folded it into an envelope as she heated golden yellow wax over a tealight. The wax had melted after a few minutes and she poured the wax over the envelope's fold before placing a wax stamp over it. The wax would harden and the seal be removed, leaving an impressed of a sunflower on the wax stamp. Finally, the letter would be sent off to its recipient - the High Pontiff Everard VI.
Charlotte has an archived missive dispatched to the Baroness St. Lothar, following her reading of this reply to a missive unrelated to her. Though it saddened her to think so many truly believed she had been caught abed with the Grand King, it worried her more at the perverse nature of the Orenian leadership's active imagination. Did they imagine her often, lying with multiple suitors? She was twice-widowed, and a mother. A meeting on potential peace seemed to have spiraled into nothing but some great misogynistic fantasy...that now even her fellow women seemed to perpetuate. Did they so swiftly forget all the good deeds she had done, once her husband's life had been taken?
She dwelled upon these eerie facts, concerned for her homeland now more than ever.

Charlotte, as with the other letters, seemed to read its contents with an emotionless face. Perhaps the accusations of harlotry stirred some ire within the aged Novellen, but still she uttered not a word. She knew this was a young man, defending his sister and brother-in-law, as she herself was intent on defending the legacy of her husband and Oren.
And so she added the missive to a growing pile, moving on to the next parchment laid before her.

"Let us die for something greater than ourselves," Charlotte would echo the line as she read over the one of many public denouncements that flew onto her desk, "I quite like that."

SpoilerTHE PROCLAMATION TO FAITH
Issued and Confirmed on the 13th of Sun’s Smile, 1855
“So I am the Most High, and in pursuit of My Virtue, I bid my faithful this: You shall not be idle, nor forget your duties in favor of sloth. And I am the Lord GOD without peer, and My works are the holy works, and My labor is the virtuous labor, and all the strength of the Virtue shall serve the righteous laborer.” - Holy Scroll of Virtue; Canticle of Diligence
To the men and women of the Holy Orenian Empire and faithful of the Church of Canon,
The people of our Empire have long been left to fend for themselves, in times of war and strife. Conscripted to fight in wars declared by the prideful, forced to endure the hardships of wartime with little attention paid to their true wants and needs. Now, the hubris of Philip Amadeus and his wife Anastasya has opened a tear in the very fabric of our Tapestry of Man, causing it to unravel before our very eyes. Loss of land, fortune, and homes that will never be recovered. And above all, a loss of faith in GOD’s own holy church that threatens to stain the citizenry forever.
The throne of Oren is held by a wedded pair of individuals who have been denounced and excommunicated by our High Pontiff, Everard VI. The same couple who abandoned their country all those years ago, to seek power of their own overseas. Only when they grew bored of that venture did they plan their return and usurpation of the Orenian throne. It has come to light that, in their ambition, they felt it was necessary to claim the life of Philip’s own father, my late-husband, the Duke of Adria. And it was this horrific revelation that came only months following their Walk of Atonement, in which they were meant to unburden their sins before our Holy Vicar so that their people might walk in GOD’s light once more. But this has all proved nothing but what I unfortunately had come to believe was the truth about this ordeal, that my stepson and his wife do not seek the true betterment of the Holy Orenian Empire and its loyal citizens. They seek a throne, they seek power, and they seek only to benefit themselves.
I will say, here and now, that no man, woman, or child of the Holy Orenian Empire is to blame for the sins of the few. They serve their monarch, who was crowned and anointed before such tragic circumstances rose to the surface. They have families of their own to care for and feed. Careers and vocations that require constant upkeep and care. Lands and fields to maintain and administrate. How does one expect them to object to the words of an Emperor or Empress, when they are not allowed a true voice by which they might voice their issues and grievances? How can a farmer, pitchfork in hand, challenge the authority of a sovereign who stands with a military behind him? The citizenry have been presented with no alternative to this downward spiral that they have found themselves trapped within. And like with the Baroness of Woldzmir, an example is made of those who even speak words of disapproval for the poor actions of the monarch. A threat of dispossession and banishment is held over their heads, a damning judgment that can be enacted upon them at any moment should the Crown decide it is necessary.
This injustice and abuse of my homeland ends today.
I, CHARLOTTE AUGUSTA NOVELLEN, granddaughter of Anne I and Joseph II, great-granddaughter of Peter III and widow of Prince Philip Aurelian, do hereby state my intention to claim the throne of the Holy Orenian Empire and its territories, to free its people from the grasp of the great kinslayers and usurpers, Philip Amadeus and Anastasya. With the Canon’s four-year interlude expiring, I claim this right not only by my inherent blood, but by the right of a Canonist to wage war against an excommunicated individual in order to bring them and their country back into the fold of GOD’s holy flock.
The House of Novellen has been allowed to fall prey to the temptations of sin, including the grievous acts of murder, patricide, and greed. No longer shall these actions go unpunished. They involve our nation in blunders of diplomacy, waging war when peacetime is necessary for recuperation. Their glorious revolution has amounted to nothing but a needless loss of life, land, and freedom.
The foundations of our very government are disregarded, cast aside in favor of the pursuit for the Crown. Those centuries ago, Joseph of Marna declared THE RIGHTS OF MAN, a declaration that our forefathers Peter III and Simon Basrid constructed our modern imperium atop. It read as follows, dictated by THE NENZING PROCLAMATION in 1715:
-
THE RIGHT TO LIFE, so no man will ever be taken to the Skies so soon.
-
THE RIGHT TO LIBERTY, so no man will ever be bonded by the shackles of slavery.
-
THE RIGHT TO TRIAL, so no man will ever be wrongly accused when not charged by a trial of their peers.
The Right to Life was denied to Philip Aurelian when his existence was stolen by those who now occupy his birthright. The Right to Liberty was denied to the citizens of the Holy Orenian Empire when they were forced to endure the hardships of conflict. And the Right of Trial was denied to those who spoke out against the wrongs done by the Crown and it’s governing cabinet.
To my stepson, Philip, and his wife Anastasya, I make my offer of peace:
-
Philip III ‘The Usurper’ and his wife, Anastasya I, shall abdicate the throne in favor of the Canonist: Charlotte Augusta Novellen. Following their abdication, they shall be permitted to take up vows of the cloth within the Church of Canon, to live out the rest of their days in service to GOD in his ever-present mercy.
-
The Prince of Providence, Prince Peter Augustus, shall remain as heir-apparent to the Holy Orenian Empire. He will remain in this position until he reaches his 25th birthday and is married. Empress Charlotte will abdicate in his favor and assume her own tenure as a member of the Holy Church of Canon alongside Philip and Anastasya in two saint’s weeks following his union.
-
The offspring of Philip III and Anastasya I will remain as Imperial Princes and Princesses. Their well-being is assured and promised by their step-grandmother, who raised them early in their childhood within the Augustine Palace.
-
The Imperial Treasury shall be turned over to Charlotte I, so that she might begin to pay back those peers and merchants who have lost substantially during these times of conflict.
-
No Orenian peer or citizen shall be punished for remaining within the Holy Orenian Empire following the second excommunication of the Crown. As GOD is merciful, so too must his servants express that mercy through action. And those who have departed or been exiled due to these conflicts will be welcomed back within our Imperium.
The refusal of these terms is the refusal of peace. I implore you both to consider that peace, the future your people deserve more than anything else. Pay witness and acknowledge your sins, so that GOD might still save both you and the Orenian people from further turmoil.
Those who wish to take up this mission alongside me need only send word or seek my audience. We must uphold our shared faith, and it tenets, come victory or loss.
This we proclaim for the furthered prosperity of our Empire, on the 13th of Sun’s Smile, 1855
Charlotte I, Holy Orenian Empress

A Southern Storm

Andromeda Vandi'ir spent her afternoon relaying the tale of what she had witnessed outside Fort Myrine to her companions, speculating on how perhaps this alleged-miracle was connected to the various other anomalies taking place across Almaris. As much as others viewed it as a blessing, it seemed to only concern the mali'ker. What did this all mean?
