After reading the missive, the Archbishop of Albarosa would sign the Lorraine. “May GOD guide the Empire’s warriors into battle and lead them to free the poor Sutican flock.”

The Bishop of Ves votes in favor of the Protecting our Veterans and in opposition to the Imperial Parks Act.

Frederick Leopold smiles upon reading of his sister-in-law’s new store. He will be sure to visit in the future.

"You mean she conveniently converted just to get married. This woman is nothing more than an opportunist." Said Boniface.

Erasmus agrees wholeheartedly with Boniface. He would be frowning at the document.

The cardinal Erasmus would nod as he read the document. “A declaration that is fitting of the woman,” he would comment to one of his monks at the monastery of St. Thomas. “She made vicious remarks upon the Church. She claimed that she was acting for the betterment for her people, yet the actions in which she will be performing will lead her people astray.” He sighs as he places the statement down. He would then sign the cross. “May GOD lead her down the right path once more, and if not, I hope her people will find their way on their own.”

"I notice Mister Pruvia puts patriot first and Canonist second," says Pius.

“The Church and State are like two pillars, both supporting each other.” the viscount would comment to his brother who posed a similar statement. “Never would I put one in front of the other.”

Our Golden Age and the Duty to Manifest

An Essay By An Imperial Patriot, Frederick Leopold Pruvia-Albarosa

Penned in the City of St Owynsburg, 1774

An Orenian woman with her family on the outskirts of the Empire

Since its creation, the Holy Orenian Empire has been a bastion for mankind with its walls defending the descendants of Horen tirelessly. From the humble beginnings under the Exalted Godfrey to the powerful state that we reside in now, our nation has toiled hard to achieve what we have today. Because of this new pinnacle that we find ourselves at, we come to a crossroads. The Empire finds itself at a height not seen before. One would be able to consider this era that we have found ourselves in as a golden age. Employment is up, the government is stable, and the meritocratic system of our current government allows for those who are hardworking and able to rise through the ranks.

It is also to be mentioned that the Empire has ensured that its people are able to enjoy the fruits of their labors. Theatre, sports, and the sciences are prominent practices within our very own society. For example, I just recently read a wonderful publication by the most esteemed Edward Napier on the classification of organisms: something that has long needed documentation. While with these new advances within our beloved nation we find tranquility, on the outside, our brothers and sisters in mankind are embroiled in chaos.

Greedy men and women vie for power over lands that should be united under one nation, bestowing upon themselves titles not befitting their vile and untrustworthy stature. As the bastion of Man, it is the nation’s duty, and our duty as citizens of the Empire, to protect the men, women, and children who seek to live lives of good individuals: who rise early to make an honest wage, to attend church, and to fight for their families and neighbors if need be.

That is why it should be of the interest of all citizens of our empire to ensure the expansion of our way of life so that all of mankind may find itself prospering under enlightened rulers as opposed to tyrannical despots who so horrendously revoke the rights to democracy and freedom that the citizens of the Empire so greatly enjoy. “Why must we do this?” you may ask. “Why should we leave the comforts of the Empire to face the hardships of the unknown?” To that, I must argue that within our short yet impactful lives, it is our duty as patriots and GOD fearing Canonists to spread civility and faith throughout the world, ensuring a brighter future for mankind.

Let us not forget the men who sacrificed their lives over the years in order to ensure that the Orenian dream may survive for their posterity to thrive off of. Let us not forget the War of the Two Emperors that our predecessors fought to ensure our very wellbeing. Do not let your ancestors’ sacrifices in vain, for the watch now from the Seven Skies in anticipation for the skies that the Empire may rise to!

To go about this, I implore that the government must strive to acquire territories of those aforementioned oppressive and intolerable overlords who seek to keep Oren from achieving the unity of all mankind., through diplomacy or other means.  Let this not be considered simply the act of the government, though. To the citizenry of the Empire, please speak with your local representatives and elect those you trust who will pass legislation to ensure that our government continues to prosper and expand our way of life to the furthest reaches of humanity.

There is no time better than now to bring mankind to its new height. The nation that we wish to thrive further waits patiently in the form of Oren: a roaring lion of a nation that must reunite the pride of lions that is humanity through manifestation. The time to act is now, and we must act for it is of the utmost importance to see the Empire manifest across all mankind, providing peace, prosperity, equality, and democracy amongst all of its citizens – old and new. It is our destiny.

Signed,

Frederick Leopold Pruvia-Albarosa

Patriot of the Empire

The Cardinal Erasmus smiles as he reads the missive. “I look forward to see what will come of this upcoming election,” he would comment to a nearby monk.

The cardinal Erasmus von Gertreide would lay the thesis upon his desk after reading it with a hint of a smile on his face. “A well written thesis statement!” the cardinal would remark to a nearby monk. “I look forward to seeing what else this acolyte will do.”

A great writer and is incredibly easy to work with!

 The birthday celebration of Hildegarde Amalia Pruvia-Albarosa, 1763. 

THE SPROUTING OF AN ALBAROSE

[!] A slightly pinkish envelope is delivered to you by courier, a young employee from O’Rourke Printing waves you goodbye after handing it over. You look at the back of the envelope: the coat of arms of Pruvia-Albarosa neatly in the center. 

If you open it, you find this:

Dearly beloved,

It is with great pride and prejudice that the Viscount of Albarosa, Frederick Leopold Pruvia, officially announces his return from his education abroad. Due to these exciting circumstances, the viscount has seen it fit to throw a celebration. All who are available and of good intent are hereby invited to a party in the Pruvia residence. 

The activities during the celebration shall include:

I). A feast

II). Wine tasting

III). A hunt

The attire for the party is formal, but the House of Pruvia-Albarosa encourages those who attend to be creative with their outfits, for a group of guests at a party without creativity make the party quite drab. 

The celebration shall be held in Kaedrin in the estate of the Prince-Archbishop, where the House of Pruvia-Albarosa shall make their first public appearance together as one family. The household will include the Rose of Kaedrin, Hildegarde Amalia, the Prince-Archbishop, Laurence August, and, of course, the viscount himself, Frederick Leopold.

We hope to be blessed by your presence on {{Saturday 30th, 4PM EST}} in the Commonwealth of Kaedrin.

With The Utmost Respect,

Frederick Leopold Pruvia

Viscount of Pruvia-Albarosa

Frederick Leopold Pruvia would read his copy of the tome in his carriage as he leaves from boarding school to return home. He would smile for this book was truly accurate.

Erasmus looks forward to the upcoming election. 

“GOD save the king!” The Cardinal Erasmus would shout as the crown had finally been placed upon the emperor’s head. Truly this would be a day to remember.

Erasmus scrambles around the Monastery of St Thomas, looking for his best outfit to wear for the dinner.

Bishop Erasmus chuckles, reading the announcement. “I’ll be sure to be there to enjoy the festivities!”

Erasmus leans back in a chair after a long day of work, champagne glass in hand. “Truly the Rhoswenii dream is possible for all.”

Bishop Erasmus von Gertreide signs the Kaedreni Cross as he reads the final writings before they are sent out into the public. He gazes around his humble room within the Monastery of St. Thomas before beginning to send the responses. Truly this was an honest and true writing.

Erasmus gives a beautiful flourish, signing the document.

Erasmus would nod with a smile on his face, feeling a sense of patriotism overwhelming him

The Second Homily of Ves

Regarding A New Era In the Bishopric of Ves

6th of Tobias’s Bounty, 1765

Published & Held By

His Grace the Bishop of Ves:

Alderman of Finance

Erasmus von Getreide

HELVETS HOUSE OF LITERATURE

A Rhoswen-Pruvia Ltd. Enterprise

Pruvia District no. 7, Owynsburg

Commonwealth of Kaedrin

Dearly Beloved,

To begin this most sacred homily, I must begin by thanking my brilliant predecessor and mentor, the Archbishop Laurence Pruvia, for providing me with the tools and opportunities to further protect and guide my flock throughout this world in which we live. I would also like to thank the High Pontiff, James II, for bestowing upon me this position of utmost importance, The trust in which you have placed in me shall not go in vain.

As some of you may have noticed, the coat of arms has a sense of familiarity about it. This is because the coat of arms is that of the predecessor of my predecessor, Kriztian Karoly. In the past few years within my tenureship as the Prelate of Ves, I have taken the time to read and hear about the deeds of the former Bishop of Ves. The man has showcased his stalwarts faith in GOD throughout his lifetime, writing many essays which I still, to this day, look upon for inspiration. For that reason, I proudly state that I shall bear the coat of arms of this man.

In order to further honor the man, when we rename Karoly Tower to, we shall christen a new street within the town of St Ownysburg, Karoly Lane. The most honorable and the most pious of the Commonwealth should not be forgotten. 

As many of you may know the bishop was slain in the city of New Reza by Haensetian assassins who wish for nothing but the heretical ideals of their Lendian faith to fester and spread throughout the Empire. I pray that these men are caught and are brought to bear witness for the crimes against both the Empire and GOD that they committed. May the wrath of GOD be brought down on the Haensetians who supported the evil doings of the murderers, and may GOD have mercy on the souls of those who repent.

Continuing from the untimely demise of our beloved bishop, I am happy to address that many projects have been completed during my short reign in the diocese. The Monastery of St Thomas has been completed, serving as a bastion for all of those who follow the Canonist faith. Soon, the buildings will soon be filled with diligent followers of GOD, working to create and preserve works of both theirs and others testaments of faith. 

Itaque in hoc situ, sit a Domino per illa omnia sint fides, devota. Sit tibi semper quidem sunt vires et in sapientia Dei.

As I have risen to the position of Bishop within the Diocese of Ves, I wish to point out some values that I shall wish to emphasize while holding this office. Within the diocese, I hold that the ability to be able to learn more about GOD and his work shall not be denied to anyone, whether a Helvets in the highest tower of Varoche Palace or a servant in the kitchens. The more that all citizens of this diocese know of the Lord, the more they can properly worship GOD. Worshiping GOD shall be emphasized, and we shall all join together as brothers and sisters in faith to worship.

On a final note, I would like to congratulate the pious Everardine party for their achievement of seven seats within the Parliament. During these trying times when individuals within our very own Empire spout heretical ideas, it is these men who will fight to protect the Church and all the values that it and the Empire holds dear. Though a strong opposition looks to oppose values that we stand for, I am confident that the Everardine party will continue to fight until the last breath to preserve a true Canonist lifestyle within the Empire. Finishing this statement, I would like to preface that this is not the Church’s stance, but merely my own. 

In conclusion, I look forward to a long and prosperous era while I maintain this office, and I am excited to share with many men, women, and children the power and wisdom of GOD.

Erasmus mumbles something about democracy being stupid because the House voted against protecting the interests of Rochefort cigarettes.

Bishop Erasmus contemplates wearing a wig. All the fancy government folk where a wig, so why shouldn’t he?

A man smokes his RochefortTM cigarettes with pride

Erasmus nods with tears in his eyes at the letter. “Maybe it will finally happen...”
