  1. _______________________________________________________________________ Fresh posters were plastered throughout Almaris. It was clear that the person who had hung these did so recently. If one was to pass by or inspect it closely, the subject matter of said poster would depict the phrase: BE A MAN AMONG MEN Beneath the bold print it would read: The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Oren offers you an interesting and varied career with new allowances for fighting troops. Depicted alongside the right-hand side of the bold print would be that of a Resistance soldier donning his typical uniform - a cuirass atop a layer of buff leather. The soldier stands stiff and tall with sword in hand; he's clearly ready to take on whatever tyrannical forces he will undoubtedly face ahead of him. It is clear that the poster's motive is to spread awareness about the existence of an anti-tyrannical government force - specifically the Resistance against Oren - otherwise known as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Oren (RAF) - whose openly oppositional to the current ruling group within the Empire. Located at the bottom of each and every individual poster are contact details for those interested in perhaps involving themselves as paid soldiers within the RAF: ((I can be reached on Discord: Pharmaceutical Grade Chlymydia#1514 - there are combat AND non-combat related positions open in the Resistance! Feel free to join us! We have three big events planned for the next three weeks!)) _______________________________________________________________________ ((Previous post, Cries for Revolution: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199201-cries-for-revolution)) ((Previous post, O' Beautiful Providence: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199510-o-beautiful-providence-a-critical-treatise)) ((Previous post, The Resistance Against Oren: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199659-the-resistance-against-oren)) ((Previous post, The Greatest of all Evils: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199915-the-greatest-of-all-evils)) ((Previous post, Is the Rejection of Tyranny an Act of Terrorism: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/200158-is-the-rejection-of-tyranny-an-act-of-terrorism)) ((Previous post, Is Your Home Worth Fighting For: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/200556-is-your-home-worth-fighting-for)) ((Previous post, I Want You to Fight Against Tyranny: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/200827-i-want-you-to-fight-against-tyranny))
  2. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “They hide their abuses under the guise of ‘constitutional monarchy’ - I ask them: what’s constitutional about oppression?” Gustaven von Halsfield, 1807 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Initially, Man - by nature - was created by the Creator to be alike with one another. It was the unjust exploitation and subsequent oppression by the arrogant men in Oren which led to our bondage of servitude, bogged down by the shackles of such. If the Creator would have had any bondmen from the start, He himself would have appointed who ought to be bonded, and who ought to be free - leaving no such right to the arrogance of man. Therefore, I urge for you to consider that the time has come - dictated as such by the Creator himself - in which you may, if you so desire, remove the shackles of restraint from your slaved spirit and help us recover the liberties which were once taken from us by those haughty, posh "men" of Providence. They oppress us out of sheer fear of us regaining the power that has been within us this entire time. For centuries, the common people have dealt with the humiliation and shame of being underneath such privileged aristocrats. How long must we suffer? How long should our children suffer, growing up so innocent and pure; not realizing that their futures have already been chosen by the very people that forced us into our current state? Why should the future incriminate these innocent children capable of so much more than we truly realize? Alas, they won’t have the opportunities to provide such potential due to restrictions brought on by their social class, arbitrarily decided by Those above him. I urge you, Kinfolk, brothers and sisters: We deserve change, We demand change; and We will have change. Such is true. If it isn't words that they will listen to, then let it be BLOOD. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Change is necessary, and the time for change is now.” No longer will those who consider themselves to be oppressed at the hand of the Empire allow such travesties to continue unchecked, for the time of righting such wrongs is rapidly approaching; that of which is something that nobody can deny. Previously, critical sentiments harbored towards the Empire were rarely ever discussed openly in fear of persecution. Now, however, it’s all too common to walk through Providence and hear some type of discussion involving one another condemning the Empire for their trespasses and abuse. Seemingly, the everyday citizen has finally opened their eyes and acknowledged the horrors around them. It’s now time for them to decide whether they’ll simply accept the abuse and inherently enable the continuation of it, or if they’ll actually put their foot down and make a difference. Some of those who consider themselves as the ‘enlightened’ type are doing exactly that: putting their foot down, hoping to make a difference; no longer will they willingly allow the abuses of the Empire to continue unchecked. These people travel up and down the roads, voicing word of their cause, hoping to appeal to each passerby they encounter in an attempt to recruit more willing to support their mission: “Is it not time for us to consider that we should finally do what’s necessary to make a difference in our own lives? The system of the Empire thrives on the ignorance of those under its reign: what the people don’t know they can’t reject! Well, I say we let them know then! Open their minds! Once we have let ALL know of our struggle, our message, and our passion then we shall truly know the difference between the common man made from blood and bone and those who are simply hollow puppets of the Empire, that of which must be purged. Those puppets of the Empire are the same ones who wish to put down others for their own benefit. Tell me this: If a man beats you down, kills your family and steals your money, would you be willing to join them? No, you would devote yourself to growing stronger than them in the hopes that one day you may return to put them in their place. That is exactly what we’re doing, and we urge you to do the same, brother and sister!” “No longer will those who consider themselves to be above us be able to repress and silence our opinions and disagreements. We shall rise above them and make sure they know who we are, for our power far outweighs that of their own. Soon, those who reject our message will be beneath us; not spiritually, or politically, but rather literally: they shall be beneath us, six feet underneath our two feet as they lie in their graves. No longer shall there be murders in the streets - orchestrated by none other than the Empire’s own military! No longer will soldiers and nobility torture our women and starve our children! No longer will they beat and stomp on those who simply look differently from them! NOT FOR A MOMENT LONGER will those like you, who toil and struggle in hopes of one day achieving their dreams, be hindered from such!” “For hundreds of years we’ve accepted the abuses of the Empire that they’ve subjected us to, our spirits kept in handcuffs - the key to said handcuffs they’ve tossed away. For too long we’ve stopped looking for that key. Blind eyes and cuffed hands have come to be all our once proud people know. No longer! No longer will we remain as the slaves that gather their resources and fill their fat unworthy bellies. I encourage you to consider our message, that the time to do what’s right and fight against an injustice is either now or never. Let it be now rather than never.” The voices of these revolutionaries are filled with pride as they speak of their ideals and dreams of a far better society that only a revolt against the current status quo could likely achieve. Along their travels, they parted minas and bread to the commoners who struggled in the economy of each nation, it was quite clear these men were the voices of the poverty stricken and lower class that ultimately had no voice within society. These men were not bandits; not thieves; not at fault for any wrongdoings. These men were simple commoners who yearned for a change, who yearned for a better future; one that didn’t have haughty nobility upheld upon a throne supported by corrupt bureaucrats. They offered smiles and waves to their fellow man, elf, and every dwarf that they came upon in their travels. They saw each and every creature equal to them. No one was judged or criminalized by these men. These men simply wanted to help those in need lead the fight against tyranny. Application (interpreted IRP): A group of four horsemen approach you while traveling alongside one of the various backroads of Almaris; stopping you, they begin to openly speak of their cause and ideology, hoping to appeal to you. After a certain amount of time passes they invite you to take up arms and travel with them to the next destination they have in mind, hoping to find even more people supportive of their cause, promptly welcoming you with open arms: Minecraft Username: In-game name: Reason for joining the Resistance against the Oren: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ {{OOC}} We’ll now be allowing those interested in joining the Resistance against the Holy Orenian Empire do so. If you’re interested in joining the Resistance then I encourage you to fill out the short application above. You can either send it as response to the forum post (which I imagine few will do), through a DM, or via Discord: Pharmaceutical Grade Chlymydia#1514 We have many events planned which we would absolutely adore you to become involved with! Obviously as you can imagine our efforts won’t be successful unless we have a decently sized group of people to support such ideals. The more we have on board, the merrier. If you personally have an interest in going against the Empire then we’ll welcome you, regardless of what race you are! Orenian, Norlander, Kha - you’re welcome to join. Thanks for reading! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Previous Forum Post, O' Beautiful Providence - A Critical Treatise: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199510-o-beautiful-providence-a-critical-treatise) (Previous Forum Post, Cries for Revolution: https://www.lordofthecraft.net/forums/topic/199201-cries-for-revolution)
  3. -------------------------------- Renault de Felsen -------------------------------- The city of Aleksandria, under the tyrannical rule of King Joseph and his dog, Lord Marshal Jacque Halcourt de Vasile. Renault stalked through the back alleys of Alexandria. He paused at the corner of a building as the sound of armored footsteps reached him from the main road, not more than 30 feet away. He looked up and blinked into the steadily falling rain. His blue eyes taking in the roof tops and roiling clouds. Glancing around the corner, Renault could see the passing column of Courland guards, led by none other than Jacque Halcourt de Vasile, the tyrannical and wretchedly foolish Lord Marshal. The Marshal could be heard barking orders at soldiers and civilians alike, even kicking some beggars who were too slow out of his way. Renault shook his head, the Lord Marshal was likely off to throw some new innocent from their home. Gritting his teeth he placed his right hand on his sword and began to move toward the street only to find a strong hand on his shoulder. Looking back Renault would see Uther, his friend and right hand man. “Now is not the time Renault. Be patient, his time will come as will the others.” Uther squeezed his shoulder and looked back down the alley they were traveling. “Come on, the others will be waiting. Renault grimaced but knew his friend was right. They turned and sloshed down the muddy back streets, winding through their labyrinthian paths. Eventually they would stop at a nondescript but solid door at the back of a low and sagging building. Renault reached forward and tapped a series of rhythmic knocks at the door. After a moment a gruff voice called out. “Who’s there?” the voice demanded. Renault smiles ruefully and looks to Uther who shrugs and sighs. “Who do you think it is you big lummox? Let us in, it’s pouring out here!” Renault would call through the door. After a few seconds the door opens and a large man steps back. “Sorry, Renault. Just tryin’ to be careful.” The big guy would say sheepishly as the two move forward to enter the building. “That’s fine. We can’t afford to let them catch us now, not when we’re so close.” Renault would say as he pats the fellow on the shoulder. He would take one final look outside at the alley. The habit of a man who has become hunted by the fiends of an oppressive government. “Close the door, we have work to do.” Credit to Emperor_Zufelt for aiding with this post.
