WALDENIC PRAYER BOOK Waldenisches Gebetsbuch Für alle Laien Waldeniens SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON WALDENIA, Our peoples of Waldenia, for centuries have counted themselves to be among the blessed flock of our Lord. We have raised temples and churches in the name of our faith, and have led a pious life among our brethren, united in our belief and zeal. Through our great faith, many from among us, such as Saint Nicholas the Martyr, and Saint Otto of Vanderfell have found their place among the Saints, reaching nearer to the throne of God, and experiencing true spiritual enlightenment during their lifetimes. Now, it is up to us, the people of Waldenia to venerate our ancestors and friends to the people of Waldenia, so that we may call upon God’s holy intercessions through them. As such, we, the Waldenic Diet have compiled this prayer book for this endeavor. May our ancestors aid us in our worldly affairs, and help us come nearer to His throne through their advocacy in the Seven Skies. CHAPTER ONE: PRAYERS TO THE EXALTED EXALTED GODFREY Exalted Godfrey is one of the four Exalted, venerated in the Church of the Canon. For the Waldenians, and the wider Church, Prophet Godfrey is the patron of dominion, glory and justice. "As GOD chose the Exalted to be his prophets he also chose Exalted Godfrey to carry the Crown of the Empire in dominion over humanity.” -Excerpt from "Benedictio supernorum.” PRAYER TO EXALTED GODFREY. (Crossing yourself.) God, Creator of the Earth, Have mercy on us. It was you, who hath placed the Crown of Mankind atop Exalted Godfrey’s head. It was through your will and intercession that the children of Horen were united through faith. It was you, who hath placed the Horn and Laurel upon Godfrey’s hand. Through your Holy Wisdom, we ask advocacy from Exalted Godfrey. Gott, Schöpfer der Erde, hab Gande mit uns. Du warst es, der die Krone der Menschheit auf dem Haupt des Erhabenenen Godrey gesetzt hast. Dein Wille und Fürbitte hat erreicht, dass die Kinder Horens im Glaube vereint wurden. Es warst du, der das Horn und Laurel auf Godfreys Hand auf gegeben hat. Im Namen deiner heiligen Weisheit erbitten wir, dass der erhabene Godfrey für uns eintrete. (Kneel, and conjoin hands in prayer.) O, Eternal Godfrey, as the evil of Iblees has bled into our world, so too, did injustice sprung forth from Saul’s deceit. Through your dominion and Blessed Hand, were the Holy justices of God persevered within our halls. O, powerful and glorious prophet of God, the Lord of hosts, that rulest and commandest; we pray for your justice and glory. Deliver us from the hands of wicked men, who judgeth not by His word and divinity, yet doth aspire to greatness. O, Holy Godfrey, through your intercession, shatter the cloud that clouds the judgment of men. Instill us with your righteousness. As we now advocate for you in our thoughts, advocate for us before God’s throne. Oh, ewiger Godfrey, wenn die Dunkelheit Iblees' in unsere heimgesucht hast, so sprang auch die Ungerechtigkeit fort von Saulus' Verrat. Durch dein Reich und deine gesegnete Hand wurden wir deine heiligen Wahrheiten in unseren Hallen erhalten. Oh, du mächtiger und glorreicher prophet Gottes! Dem Herr der Heerscharen, welche nur du befehlest, wird beten für deine Gnade und Gerechtigkeit. Befreie uns von der Hand der Bösen die uns nicht richten werden nach seinem Wort und nur unsere Großartigkeit anstreben. Oh, heiliger Godfrey, lass deinen Beistand die Wolke, welche das Urteil der Menschen vernebelt auflösen. Lasse deine Gerechtigkeit in uns wachsen. So wie wir dich verkündigen in unseren Hallen, so verkündige uns vor Gottes Thron. Amen. EXALTED OWYN Exalted Owyn is one of the four Exalted, venerated in the Church of the Canon. For the Waldenians, and the wider Church, Prophet Godfrey is the patron of purity, war and fire, famously delivering the admonishments of God to those who have strayed from the Holy Path in life. "In his epistles, Exalted Owyn preached of mankind’s potential for redemption above all else. None of us are beyond it.” -Excerpt from the ‘Phoenix Cycle’, by C. Anastasia. PRAYER TO EXALTED OWYN - On Evil upon this world. (Cross yourself.) O the one who defeats the enemy and the heretic, O the guardian of the guardians, O the shadow of God on this Earth, O, Exalted Owyn; Help us, your followers who believe, with your flaming sword against those that trespass against God’s Holy way. Owyn, he who is merciful in his admonishments in the Scrolls, Owyn, the Exalted one; You have humbled all that God has created. I pray to thee, that you may advocate before our Lord to suffice me by guiding your intercession against the wickedness of Saul. PRAYER TO EXALTED OWYN - For Victory (Kneel, crossing yourself, with sword in hand, planted downwards on the earth.) O, Our prophet, Owyn. I kneel before the Lord today, facing my future, riddled in adversity. I pledge my sword before our Lord’s name. I pray, so that you cast your holy flame down upon my sword. I resolve that our spires shall be our blades, the domes our helmets, the churches our barracks, and the believers soldiers. O, Owyn, pour down upon us patience, make our steps firm against the adversary. Let it be so nothing can intimidate us, even if the heavens rain ash upon us, even when floods and volcanoes are scattered over us. I pray to the Lord, and Owyn to grant me the courage of the Exalted, whose steps we are proud to follow. I pray to never never kneel to the heretic and the idle things, and that I may stand over them triumphantly. Amen. REINMAREN LITANY TO EXALTED OWYN (All men form a circle, and link their arms together, each arm on top of the other man’s shoulder. Some are equipped with drums, others, lutes.) (Leading celebrant comes into the middle of the circle.) (The men start playing their drums in rhythm, the lutes matching this, as the men start chanting repeatedly to the rhythm to invoke the name of the Lord, and Exalted Owyn;) "Lord, God, Owyn.” Celebrant: "To-day, Lord had come to us!” "Blessings tenfold happen thus!” "Tell of Owyn’s words to us!” "Let men no longer then lust!” "Lord shall always keep to us!” "Let men no longer then lust!” "Grateful in the name of Lord,” "Harken to Lord Owyn’s word!” "Let none get past his mighty sword!” "Heathens cower of our horde!” "Keep us master, o’ master!” "Draw my blade from my holster!” "With your words our heart bolsters,” "Owyn and Lord we preach, pastor!” "God is our rightful King,” "Owyn shall his praises sing!” "The day I shall sheathe my sword,” "Is the day I go Skies with His word!” (2x) "They came between me and Him” "They poured salt upon my hymn.” "Proclaimed Owyn’s words as grim.” "Upon hearing of this cling,” "We men tore him limb from limb!” "For they proclaimed His words as grim!” "Fight on and on warriors!” "Proud shall we make our ancestors!” "He who strays from Owyn’s word,” "Shall be hung high from his own gird.” CHAPTER TWO: PRAYERS TO THE SAINTS SAINT CAIUS OF THE WESTERLANDS Son of Lord Vandalore Leopold, St. Caius had inherited the Kingdom of the Westerlands, a breakaway state after the fall of the Johannian Empire. A martyr-king to the undead armies of the Drakaar Mordring, who destroyed the Westerlands, Saint Caius mended the original schism between Owynism and Canonism. He is the patron of the Westerlands, of humor, and the fight against the undead. PRAYER TO SAINT CAIUS - On Undead. (Cross yourself.) Blessed be the Lord, for he hath granted me the fruits of life that I enjoy. Praised be to the Lord, for he hath ordered my estate, and breathed life into my heart, and the hearts of our children. Praised be, for it is he who orders the blood in my veins to pump, and it is he who dictates the inner workings of my body. Yet, today, I find myself in strife, as Saint Caius did, with those who dabble in the evil of Iblees and Saul, those who hath rendered their bodies to husks, and their spirits to ash. O, Mighty King, O, Marty Saint Caius, I pray to thee, that you may guide my hand to those who trespass against Owyn’s Epistle to the Magi, those who giveth life without the spirit, when there is none to give, save for the Lord’s. Instill me with your courage that you wielded, as thy martyr yourself in zeal. May you embellish my blade with the divine light of the Lord. Amen. REINMAREN LITANY TO SAINT CAIUS - On Undead. Saint Caius, oh Caius, Protector of the Westerlands, With laughter in your heart and scepter in your hand, Guide us through our shifting times. With Lord in your side, you fought the undead, With courage and a steadfast head, You kept us safe, you kept us sound, Through battles fierce and terrors profound. So we pray to you, O Saint Caius, To keep us safe and free from chaos, With your guidance and your light, God will have us win the fight. Oh Saint Caius, our Patron Saint, We'll sing your praise, with our zealous faith. With every step and every breath, We'll honor you, in life and death. So hear our prayer, oh Saint Caius, And watch over us, in all our doings, For you are our protector, and our guide, In the battle against wickedness, by your side. SAINT JOHANN OF REINMAR Lord Vandalore Johann, throughout his reign as the Duke of Reinmar, and the cultural leader of the Waldenic peoples had been an exemplary Canonist, and a virtuous man that all Waldenian men harken to this day. He went on numerous pilgrimages and provided donations to the Church. Through his actions, Saint Johann found favor in God during a battle against forces who wished to partition the Church. He is the patron of the Reinmaren, Waldenian Princes and Axemen. PRAYER TO SAINT JOHANN - For Waldenian Princes (Cross yourself.) Praised be the Lord, for He is the one that hath orders estates, and weaves our lives. I call for Saint Johann, Saint of our princes, friend of the virtuous. Hear my prayer, Saint Johann, so that you may advocate for me beneath the Lord’s throne; O, commander, Protect me from the temptations that bid ill thoughts and evil deeds, for they come from Saul, who doth seek to corrupt and destroy the living. Guide my hand as I defend our Mother Church and the Lord's will. Fill me with your courage and strength. Bless me in the light of your zeal. As you have unsheathed your blade against the apostate, Embellish too, my blade with the divine light of the Lord. Let it be a beacon of righteousness in the face of darkness. I pray for guidance and protection, in the name of the Lord. Amen. REINMAREN LITANY TO SAINT JOHANN (All men form a circle, and link their arms together, each arm on top of the other man’s shoulder. Some are equipped with drums, others, lutes.) (Leading celebrant comes into the middle of the circle.) (The men start playing their drums in rhythm, the lutes matching this, as the men start chanting repeatedly to the rhythm to invoke the name of the Lord, and Saint Johann;) "Lord, God, Johann.” "Oh Saint Johann, our princely guide," "With your grace, Waldenia shall abide." "Your wisdom guides us through in the fight," "Against evil, we shall win tonight." "Your strength and might, we do implore," "To lead us through this holy war." "With your guidance, we shall not falter," "But rise victorious, our foes to the altar." "Oh Saint Johann, hear our plea," "Guide our princes, so just and free." "May they rule with fairness and might," "And earn a place in heaven's light." "Protect us from our enemies' schemes," "And guide our sword in noble dreams." "May we lead Waldenia with grace," "And through your guidance, ever dare." "To be warriors, strong and true," "Waldenians, for all to view." "With your guidance, we shall not fail," "But rise to greatness, a heroic tale." SAINT NAFIS OF AL-DIRAHK Saint Nafis of Al-Dirahk was the first Lord Vandalore of the Waldenic Diet. Throughout his reign, Saint Nafis had been a bulwark of the Canonist Faith, showing exemplary dedication and martial might in his defense of faith against the Caliph after the fall of Aesterwald. He served to liberate the land from Dwarven occupation during the Qalasheen Spring with his various military campaigns, emerging victorious and being dubbed the Lord Protector of the Kingdom of Vandoria. He is the patron of Farfolk, Fishermen, Diamonds, Converts and Revolution. PRAYER TO SAINT NAFIS (Cross yourself.) Saint Nafis, hear me now with fervor. Keep me away from Iblees’s evil's power. Just as you fought against iniquity, guide me towards virtue's clarity. Intercede before the Lord on our behalf, you who faced torment from Caliphs, Dwarves and the heathen's path. Light my way, as you did for Vandoria of your own, and Strengthen my spirit, let my resolve be known. I seek your advocacy to resist temptation's snare, and to walk the path of the Lord’s truth with utmost care. Show me the wisdom you gained in your days, and the virtue that adorned your righteous ways. Amen.

(The leading celebrant, adorning Qalasheeni clothes, leads the chorus, a blunt sword in hand.) (The secondary celebrant, similarly adorning Qalasheeni clothes, yet the turban of a Caliph, takes his place in front of the leading celebrant.) (During the Chorus, the celebrants engage in a lively swordplay dance, simulating a mock duel.) (The men start playing their drums in rhythm, the lutes matching this, as the men start chanting repeatedly to the rhythm to invoke the name of the Lord, and Saint Nafis;) "Lord, God, Nafis. In Al-Dirahk, Our Nafis was born, A beacon of Vandoria, his heart endured. Oh, my Sultan, my essence true, My face lacks joy, in sorrow I'm through. I weep like Owyn, tears flow free, Calling out, O Friend, to thee. In an altar, like you, I remain, Calling out, O Friend, with heartfelt pain. With you, I regard Waldenia's plight, Calling you, O Friend, with all my might. In your abode, I wander, lost in thought, Fire burns within, our hearts are caught. Like Nafis on Vandoria's sacred ground, Calling out, O Friend, with a resounding sound. Dress my sorrow, my wound. In my friend’s embrace, solace be found. I weep like Owyn, tears flow free, Calling out, O Friend, to thee. Calling out, O Friend, with heartfelt pain. In your presence, I wander, lost in thought, Fire burns within, my heart is caught. Like Harren, on my funeral mound, Calling out, O Friend, with a resounding sound. SAINT NICHOLAS THE MARTYR Saint Nicholas the Martyr, a Holy Knight, dedicated his life to the cause of the Mother Church. Rising through the ranks, he eventually became the Equester-Imperator of the esteemed Order of Exalted Owyn. It was during the Red Diet of Karosgrad that Saint Nicholas made the ultimate sacrifice, valiantly defending the clergymen against the combined forces of the Haeseni Royal Army and the Imperial State Army, eventually reaching martyrdom in his selfless defense. Saint Nicholas is the patron of Armorers, the Faith Militant and Canon Law. PRAYER TO SAINT NICHOLAS (Cross yourself.) O GOD, who didst grant to St. Nicholas your strength and constancy in the torments which he hath suffered for our holy faith in Canon; I beseech you to preserve, through Saint Nicholas’s intercession, our faith from wavering and doubt, so that we may serve Thee with a true heart unto our death. Shine your emanations of glory and virtue through the hearts of men, and instill us with Nicholas’s courage. Amen. REINMAREN LITANY TO SAINT NICHOLAS (All men form a circle, and link their arms together, each arm on top of the other man’s shoulder. Some are equipped with drums, others, lutes.) In the early break of dawn, The veil is gently drawn, Where you have fallen down, Fall you did Nicholas, soul and brawn! Sounds of the swords did drown, Amidst your battle's chaos, and renown. Where you have hit the ground, Your valor echoed, with sound. Where you have fallen down Where virtue is found In sacrifice and virtue profound. I'm down, help me arise, Like the Martyr, my spirit flies, Burdened with hardships and cries, I weep, then bring smiles to the skies, Just as you, with tear-stained eyes. I'm a lost soul, forlorn, His legacy shall be sworn. Left wondering since I was born. Sought purpose, no longer torn. Heart torn and deeply worn, The Saint’s spirit, forever borne. Heart pierced, constantly torn, Crying for strength, in Karosgrad till morn. SAINT OTTO OF VANDERFELL Saint Otto of Vanderfell, born into the Rovin family, had been uprooted from Vanderfell during the Schism Wars.

Amen. SAINT OTTOMAR OF MERRYWEATHER Saint Ottomar of Merryweather, born into the House of Alstreim as the crown prince of Sutica and Atheran Salvus, was raised in the overseas colony of Fausten and shielded by his Salvian benefactors following the Uialbenite coup of Sutica. A remarkably intelligent and pious child, widely famous for imparting wisdom upon residents of Fausten through quips and parables despite his young age, he led a holy expedition to reclaim his birthright from the pagan usurpers on his seventh birthday. Struck down by Uialbenites, his incorrupt body was retrieved and brought back to Fausten to great solemnity, resulting in his veneration as a saintly martyr. His numerous intercessions to protect Canonist Suticans and Salvians led to his coronation as the Perpetual King of Atheran Salvus. Saint Ottomar is the patron of Children and Sutica. PRAYER TO SAINT OTTOMAR (Cross yourself.) Almighty God, who lead Thy holy martyr Ottomar the Perpetual King of Atheran Salvus safely through many trials and dangers to the glorious crown of martyrdom; enlighten and strengthen us through his intercession, that we persevere in the holy faith of the Canon amid the trials of this life, and by resignation to Thy holy will come forth from the darkness of this world into the light of Thy eternal glory.

O BlessedTylos, we implore, Intercede for us, the Lord’s devoted flock. Through trials and tribulations lead us to the Lord’s shore, Where His eternal glory forever shall remain. Just as you have fought against all factions of Iblees and iniquity, render onto us your righteousness, derived from the Lord’s virtue. Give us the patience to endure the suffering in the most holy path of the Lord’s covenant, as thou hast have done in your journey. We pray that we may be as resolute as the Lord’s Saint Tylos in overcoming the obstructions that have been placed at the path of all Canondom. Amen. GOTT MIT UNS, His Lordship, Brandt Barclay, LORD VANDALORE

Father Brandt, having also recently abdicated has a note hand delivered to the former King, whom he knows as Uther; "Dear Uther, I hope this message finds you in good health and spirits during these times of change. I wanted to take a moment to extend my thoughts and well wishes to you as you navigate the path that lies ahead. Verily, the paths of you, Oijin and I have been intertwined, for we have crossed each other's paths as knights, then rulers, and now, you and I, as rulers no longer. While our titles may have changed, the bonds of friendship and respect remain. The experiences we've shared throughout our time together have left an indelible mark on me, and I'm grateful for the moments of camaraderie and understanding that we've built. As you embark upon this new phase, let yourself cast eyes back upon the trails you have blazed, the wisdom garnered, and the connections that have knitted themselves to the tendrils of fate. I hope to see you sometime again. Father Brandt."

Issued by the Grand Prince of Minitz in the year of our Lord, 1936 SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON MINITZ, A Decree of Abdication and Inheritance by the Hand of Brandt Barclay, Grand Prince of Minitz. Unto my loyal subjects and noble kin, greetings be unto thee. It is with a sober heart and thoughtful contemplation that I do address thee on this occasion. The sands of time hasten their passage, and thus, I do declare my intention to relinquish the scepter that has graced my hand and to apportion my titles among my progeny in the manner that has been known as gavelkind. Forsooth, in the twilight of my reign, I humbly extend my gratitude to those who have stood beside me through the chapters of governance, be they marked by challenge or triumph. I, who have traversed the paths of rule, do acknowledge the mantle's weight and the honor that hath been bestowed onto me by my esteemed father, Venerable Leon Barclay. In observance of the ancient rites of gavelkind succession, I shall devise the division of my titles unto my five children, that the unity of our realm may persist and the tapestry of our lineage be woven with cohesion. Therefore, Let It Be Known; Ferdinand Alexander: The third and youthful scion of my bloodline, shalt thou, Ferdinand, ascend as the bearer of the esteemed title, Grand Prince of Minitz and all other remaining designations and attached household relics. Let the realm behold in thee the embodiment of our ancient lineage, a sovereign of valor and virtue. Noteworthy it is, that the mantle of patriarchy within the House of Barclay von Minitz, signified by the pater familias, doth now pass to thy worthy shoulders, Ferdinand Alexander. @PeterPumpkinEater Gottfried Leon: Unto Gottfried, the second in youth and the offspring of noble lineage, I do bestow the distinguished title, "Duke of Kanunsberg." May thy ducal rule exemplify the chivalry and wisdom that befit a noble lord. @Sarven Wilheim Friedrich: Eldest of my progeny and heir to the cherished legacy, Wilheim, thou shalt assume the mantle of "Count of Neu Brandthof." Through thy stewardship, may the realm thrive as a bastion of tradition and prosperity. @Lord of Boars Anton Leopold: As the youngest son and yet no less endowed with lineage's grace, Anton, thou art granted the title, "Baron of Boriënwald." Protect and nurture the lands under thy charge as a vigilant guardian. @Frymark Alice Frederica: My cherished and sole daughter, shall, by this proclamation, be vested with the esteemed title of Baroness of Branthof. In the event that she enters into the bonds of matrimony, I do hereby grant her husband the prerogative to assume the dignified style and honor of the Baron of Branthof. @gohliad Nevertheless, in unwavering commitment to the preservation of our ancestral heritage and the enduring legacy of our noble House, I declare that any offspring borne of her union shall bear the name and lineage of House Barclay. This stipulation is sacrosanct, and the privilege of inheriting the titles and estates shall be contingent upon the steadfast continuation of this honored lineage. Should my beloved daughter elect to embark upon a matrimonial union wherein her chosen husband, through a matrilineal bond, upholds her name and lineage, the titles shall pass to their progeny as herein directed. Yet, should the thread of this lineage fray through any other marital alliance, I reserve the sovereign right for the titles to revert to their original state upon her succession, wherein they shall once again grace Ferdinand Alexander, my esteemed son and his legitimate descendants. Manfred Johann, Duke of Reinmar: As a kin of mine through the branches of our noble line, shall now ascend to the venerable rank of the High Chieftain of the Reinmaren, as I, Brandt Barclay, extend this proclamation of elevation in accordance to the rites of our tribe. As the herald of our lineage and steward of the title of Duke of Reinmar, Manfred Johann Barclay, thy rightful entitlement to the esteemed High Chieftaincy is acknowledged and ratified by this decree. @Ramon By the auspices of this clause, I, Brandt Barclay, do entreat King Edmund Alexander of the realm of Aaun to stand as the guarantor of this edict.

yea let us paste our builds also every time I hit up a mod i feel like staff involvement is a bureaucratic bottleneck - I'd need to wait 1-2 business weeks™ to get a reply on a query, let alone have mods sort out something that would realistically take like 5 minutes like a PRO change, only to see this bozo in vc playing jackbox with the bros

"Stop trying to recruit my guys and we will be fine." says Brandt.

WES THU HAL and good tidings to the Holy Mother Church, In the many years of our lives in Minitz, we have pursued the art of Natural Philosophy, named Alchemy in layman's terms during my tenure. The cure to the Vampyric plague during our experiments have been made known to me. Having cured those souls who have been plagued by the Vampyric disease, and having slain many-a greater Vampire in our time, I believe that I am qualified to render my assistance onto the Church once more in this affair. Thus, let it be known that, Brandt Barclay offers assistance onto the Church regarding the curing and cleaning of the vampyric plague from Horen's kind through alchemical measures, should the assistance be needed. Cures shall be administrated ethically and effectively, putting to rot the ancient curse that has befallen some of mankind. WER RASTET, DER ROSTET Brandt Barclay, Knight of the Black Sepulchre, Deacon of the Mother Church LORD VANDALORE

"The reason why there's been barely any women in priesthood or curia is because they're largely uninterested in being a part of the priesthood or Curia. I think blame shouldn't be tossed to the Church for not recruiting enough women, but instead, effort should be made to increase the amount of participation by women! Though as to answer your question, it's not like we can drag women by the cuff to recruit them into the priesthood. We have to be sought by them respectively. Perhaps you would be interested in becoming an initiate?" says Father Adelric of Reinmar, in his letter to the author.

DAS EBERWALD-VEREINBARUNG THE EBERWALD AGREEMENT Issued by the Grand Prince of Minitz in the year of our Lord 1932 SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON MINITZ, For two decades, the House von Theonus and its scions have been tasked in numerous administration tasks, leading a number of Theonus to manage much of the lands of the Principality. In turn it made them a House of great prestige and respect within our great Principality, and were granted by Our Duke the Thenage of Einmont for their service in the year of our Lord 1913, which continued thereafter until now, the year 1932. However, after a lengthy discussion with the Chieftain of Theonus, We have come with them to a mutual agreement that it is time their family and Our Principality continue their march down separate paths. The titles belonging to House von Theonus, that being the Thenage of Einmont, and Chieftaincy of Theonus shall be returned to the Princely Crown, and in turn they shall be released of their fealty to the Grand Principality. We wish the House of Theonus the best luck in its next endeavors wherever it may take them, and thank them for their service in governing the realm for the last two decades, through both times of war and peace for the Reinmaren people. His Serene Highness, Brandt Wilheim Barclay Großfürst von Minitz, KBS, GMSTSR GMVBE, KIH, Duke of Kanunsberg, Count of Neu Brandthof, Viscount of Tucay, Baron of Boriënwald and Brandthof, Lord of Durres, Grand Peer of Aaun, Warden of the Franklands, High Chieftain of the Reinmaren, LORD VANDALORE

Brandt tries to make up his mind on who to vote for.

BRANDT'S DREAM In the depths of his slumber, beneath the tranquil glow of the moon, Brandt found himself ensnared within the enigmatic realm of dreams. Here, the boundaries of reality blurred, and the ethereal veils of imagination coalesced into a tapestry of extraordinary possibilities. Within this surreal landscape, a vision of profound significance unfolded, shrouded in an alluring veil of mystery. From the misty depths emerged a figure, bathed in an otherworldly radiance that defied the comprehension of mortal eyes. Cloaked in an air of enigmatic grace, they stood before Brandt, a harbinger of cosmic truths and ancient wisdom. Every inch of this mysterious presence emanated an aura of profound significance, as if they were a vessel of divine revelation. Brandt's heart quickened as he beheld this ethereal visitor, his senses overwhelmed by a presence that transcended mortal limitations. There was a palpable electricity in the air, a weighty anticipation that enveloped the very essence of the dream itself, as if the fabric of reality quivered with a secret longing to be unveiled. With a voice that resonated through the chambers of Brandt's soul, the figure spoke, their words carrying a profound weight and an air of clandestine knowledge. "Brandt Barclay, Warden of the Franklands, hear my plea," they murmured, their voice both a gentle caress and a resounding whisper. "In this realm of dreams, where the borders of existence blur, I bring tidings of utmost import from realms beyond mortal ken." A surge of curiosity mingled with trepidation coursed through Brandt's veins as he strained to comprehend the cryptic words that were uttered to him. The figure's identity still remained veiled in shadows, their countenance a mirage of hidden secrets. It was as if the enigma that enshrouded them held a purposeful allure, beckoning him to venture deeper into the unknown. "Within the sacred land of the Franklands, where Canonist faith has taken root," the mysterious figure continued, as Brandt began to walk towards him, their voice a gentle whisper carried on the wings of the night breeze. "A tapestry of destiny is woven. These lands, ancient Canonist lands, bear the weight of history and reverence." Brandt's senses tingled with a mixture of wonder and apprehension. The realization began to dawn upon him, as if a forgotten memory resurfaced from the depths of time. The figure's words echoed through the annals of his consciousness, invoking images of a rich land, steeped in ancient devotion. "Embrace the mantle of your ancestors." the figure implored, their voice laden with both authority and compassion. "Let not the tempests of uncertainty erode your spirit, nor the trials of the world extinguish the flame within. Stand as the guardian of the Franklands, for they are ensconced in a sacred tapestry, a testament to His divine design." As the figure's words resonated within his being, a flicker of recognition danced across Brandt's mind. The veil of mystery slowly lifted, revealing the true identity of the enigmatic presence before him. It was Saint Godwin, the ancient Saint of God, whose teachings had shaped the faith of countless generations, and the heritage of the Kingdom of Aaun. In that moment, the weight of the revelation pressed upon Brandt's shoulders, and he understood the significance of the vision in relevance to the lands he was entrusted to protect by the King. The Franklands, ancient Canonist lands, carried the echoes of devotion and divine favour. A sanctuary to the unbroken thread of faith of Canonism that had endured through the ages. Godwin's voice, now resonating with fervour, reached the depths of Brandt's soul. "Brandt Barclay, I implore you," the figure exclaimed, their voice filled with passionate urgency. "Defend the Franklands until the very end, for within its sacred soil lies the essence of Canonist truth, the culmination of divine providence. Let not the forces of darkness lay claim to this hallowed land, but stand as its shield, protecting the legacy that has been entrusted to you." Brandt's heart swelled with a resolute determination as the weight of Godwin's words settled upon him. He pledged himself to God, vowing to defend the Franklands with unwavering dedication, knowing that the land held a significance far beyond his own understanding. And so, as Brandt awakened from his dream, the mysteries of the night still clung to him, intertwining with his waking consciousness. The words of the holy man echoed in his mind. With a fervent devotion, he rose from his bed.

DER HERZOGLICHE VON 1928 THE DUCAL COURT OF 1928 Issued by the Herzog of Minitz in the year of our Lord 1928 SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON MINITZ, With the recent settling of the lands in and around the city of Kanunsburg, the Reinmaren people have found a new home. The fields have been sown, tribes settled and control of the region wrestled from the hands of the Frankish menace. Thus, the Herzog calls all denizens of the Duchy to the city of Kanunsburg, for the Ducal Court of 1928. This will be the first gathering of the Reinmaren people since landing upon the shores of Aevos. It is a time of immeasurable importance, one which will see the Herzograt of Minitz enter a new era. The future of all who reside in the lands of Minitz shall be decided here, and a path undertaken. The Matter of the Franks Despite being pushed from the lowlands upon which the city of Kanunsburg rests, the Franks still continue to menace the surrounding countryside and forests. From their strongholds within the treacherous mountains towards the royal capital of Whitespire, the Franks gather their strength once more, preparing to continue hostilities once they have rallied a sufficient host once more. Reports of continued altercations and aggression from the Frankish threat have reached the ears of the Herzograt, necessitating action to be taken in order to prevent disaster. The court will convene and discuss this matter, with the Herzog of Minitz intending to address and relay a course of action to be taken in regards to this. The Franks will not continue to maraud the countryside freely, and attack Reinmaren men, women and children from the shadows. The Reinmaren shall not tolerate this any longer, and it is time for renewed efforts to make safe the land, and stop the threat of the Franks so that they will never again pose a threat to our Herzograt. Looking Within While we must look outwards to the Frankish problem, it is also a time to look within, to ourselves. Many men and women of the Herzograt have provided leal service for many years. It is high time that we recognize this, and see to it that they are adequately rewarded for this. A joyous occasion will be made of this, with the Reinmaren coming together to celebrate and recognize these achievements. As such, the Herzog will be awarding those who have provided great services with honors befitting their deeds. The Sons and Daughters of Minitz shall come to recognize the achievements one another have made in our journey to this new land of Aevos. Our future lies here, in these lands we called the Franklands, and we have continued to make inroads to secure it. It is only through our collective work that this may continue, and a future home built for the children of our children. Address to the People In light of the events of the last year, the Herzog of Minitz shall address the Herzograt as a whole. An address shall be made upon the pertinent matters of the realm. Of paramount importance of these issues is the aforementioned Frankish threat which lurks outside of the wall of Kanunsburg. Additionally, the Herzog shall address those present of the general plans, such as construction, financial matters, and plans which shall be undertaken in the future. These items on the agenda are vital given the position which we find ourselves in at current. Afterwards, those with petitions or grievances they wish to voice to the Herzograt shall be permitted to do so, with the Herzog to oversee and hear of the issues of the denizens of this land. Any who have business with the Herzog are encouraged to do so here at court, or with any of his representatives within the Herrenhaus who act in his stead. Address from the Herrenmeister of the Ritters of Saint Tylos The Herrenmeister of the Ritter of Saint Tylos shall make an address regarding the state of the ritter, and the appointment of a new Ritter Kastellan from amongst its ranks, to oversee one of the towers which provides protection to the denizens of the hamlets which lay outside of Kanunsburg. Those who reside in the hamlets of Draussen, Langhof and Birnenbaum are encouraged to remain for this, given the nature of the position. This is a momentous day for the Order of Saint Tylos, to appoint one to the station of Ritter Kastellan is not an action done lightly by the Herrenmeister. To be Kastellan is an honor measured equally by the responsibility it demands of the one promoted. The weight of the safety of those denizens beyond the walls rests in the hands of said Kastellan, may GOTT above give him the strength necessary to serve the Reinmaren people in this position. GOTT MIT UNS, His Grace, Brandt Wilheim Barclay Herzog von Minitz GMSTSR, Knight of the Black Sepulchre, Duke of Minitz, Margrave of Vanderfell, Count of Neu Brandthof, Viscount of Tucay, Baron of Boriënwald and Brandthof, Lord of Durres, Harvest Lord, Protector of the Aaunic Heartlands, Chief of the Minitzian Reinmaren, LORD VANDALORE His Excellency, Karl von Theonus RSTSR, Chieftain of the Theonus Tribe, Thegn of Einmont, Patriarch of Theonus, Kanzler of Minitz
