The Brigade of Marna

[seannie 7090]

THE BRIGADE OF MARNA

GOLDEN DRAGOONS

WAKING THE SLEEPING DRAGON

It is the objective of the Brigade of Marna to see the empowerment of the Dynasty of Horen once more during this new Age of the Dragon. However, to parlay with the heretical Azdrazy is beyond the Brigade, for the Dragonlords of Horen shall regain dominion of the virtuous Dragaar, and in doing so opposing the Apotheosis of the Tyrant. We must make ourselves worthy of such an endeavor by preparing the Terrestrial Plane for our own ascension, and in doing so, return the bond of the Dragaar to Horen’s kind - the Heavens shall return to Humanity. 

 

And whereas these righteous ambitions should automatically be the objectives of our governments, we recognize the webbed bureaucracy and lethargy that entangles our superiors, and thus we seek to counteract these failings with our own paramilitary initiative. For a glorious and prosperous future.

 

THE GOLDEN PATH

The foremost ambitions of our realms lie in its dominion of eastern Aevos, long unattended by our forces. With recent wars beyond our control, and the rampant schemings of the nu’sutican petty states destabilizing our eastern border, it has come to our attention that intervention is imminent. For far too long have the Realms of Petra and Aaun idled as its lessers wrecked havoc upon the continent. We must now mantle the Mandate of Responsibility, so that all in need are to be governed reasonably, fairly, and in defense by powers stronger than themselves. 

 

To see this adhered, the GOLDEN PATH manifesto is proposed, consisting of;

 

The Hegemon of the East

That all lands East of the River Constance forevermore affirm their loyalties to the House of Alstion and Temesch in one way or another; forming the Eastern Hegemony.

 

The Protector of the East

That the Confederation of the Heartlands formally institutes itself as the Protector of the East, so that no further wanton chaos may be brought upon whilst it remains under its royal purview. 

 

The Return of the Dragonlords

That despite the eternal hunter of the dragonkin, Xan, being slain, and the Age of Dragons now upon us, the virtuous Dragaar have yet returned to the lineage of Horen. It is derived from our abandonment of the Dragaar that we remain seen as their lesser, and thus we must prepare the land to regain their recognition. The House of Alstion and Temesch shall Pact with the Dragaar once more, and reject the Azdrazy.

 

The Establishment of the Canonist Bulwark

That the Holy See of the Universal Faith, the Church of Canondom, be forever safeguarded by an expanded region of Canonist territories around it and no longer be so closely bordered to paganic entities.

 

The Extinction of the Eastern Darkspawn

The far east of Aevos has long remained a hive of evildoing activities - covens, lairs, voidal tears reported in the multitude, yet not acted upon. In coordination with other objectives, investigation by force shall be underway. The Hand of Horen shall be set alight, and from this divine fire, a great ward shall encompass the land.

 

The Dominion of the Langkette Mountains

The final acquisition of the southern range of the Langkette Mountains shall be accomplished for security measures, currently controlled by the Sylvan Duchy of Brabant. Stolen land originally sponsored by the Hobbits of Dunwen to interfere in the expansion of Aaun, the southern border of the Confederation has since remained disjointed, and in need of final remedy. By way of purchase, or force, we shall control the whole of the Langkette, as it should have always been.

 

The Formation of the Silver Strait Authority

The acquisition of the Silver Strait for security measures, currently controlled by Dunwen and Lurin. Without such, the Confederation remains a landlocked country, with both Dunwen and Lurin having established naval blockades within it. Thus for the sake of our naval expansion to the Eastern Seas, we must advocate for the handover of control of the Silver Strait.

 

The Governorship of Lurin

The Silver Lubbas of Lurin have proven themselves consistently unreliable, a destabilizing entity on our borders. Paired with the rampancy of the Inferi and other evildoers throughout their lands, it is now time for a direct intervention into Lurin. We must not depend on the Silver Lubba to uphold our Canonist treaties, and must now vouch for the implementation of an interim Royal Governor of Lurin to oversee the smooth transition of a new Silver Lubba, appropriately vetted.

 

The Suzerainty of Vortice

Whilst those of Vortice have remained nominally peaceful and well-meaning with our Confederation, we must not forgo the dangers their nation pose - a dagger bared at the underbelly of our realm, awaiting one foolish enough to strike, yet in doing so, still inflicting damage. Their partaking in the chaotic collapse of the Coastal Coalition has thus advocated that the Domain of Vortice swear fealty, and be stationed a detachment of Legionaries for the purposes of security. Being the most respected of the Easterlings, we should not seek the further manipulation of their way of life, their society and religious plurality, to be kept as it is under our protection.

 

The Vassalization of the Sylvan Duchy of Brabant

It has been proven that the Duchy of Brabant is too weak to stand on its own, and thus require protection from a stronger Canonist power. So that we may not observe the destruction of a fledgling Canonist realm as bystanders, it is thus advocated that the Confederation peacefully incorporate the Duchy and reorganize Brabant as a vassal state.

 

On the Matter of the Halflings

One does not expect the Halflings to be meddling politicians, yet meddled they have in our affairs. Their previous leader having attempted to break apart the alliance of humanity, interfered with our expansionism and gave shelter to our enemies. Now the world shall know of their transgression, and face our judgement. Thus, we do advocate for the banishment of all demonic Knoxist worship, garrisoning our Legion in Dunwen, and the establishment of a Shiredom Protectorate under Confederate purview so that they may never again repeat their ill will.

 

Etcetera…

 

The Reunification of the Dynasty of Horen

The diasporic remnants of House Horen shall once more be assembled.

Vylandris Vuln'ibar examines the initiative of the new brigade, though he struggles to grasp how such a brigade could be so appreciative of the dragonkin but villainise them as heretics in the same breath. However, he sees the opportunity that this provides for the further enlightening of Humanity. Asioth. Perhaps there would still be a chance for the fallen knight to return to his former status. Redemption, albeit unlikely.

Bon'Ox blinks "Uh...Ukee.." is all he can let out, having  JUST promisied to his Lord Marshal not to write missives unless he's spoken of what bothers him before hand.

[tilly 3842]

“And just what the f*ck is this?” Renilde shrilled, voice several octaves higher than was normal. She massaged her temples, rereading the missive over and over again. Was it real? Was it an old man’s manifesto? 

 

“Why do the Heartlands need more land - and to take it from our neighbors, at that? And, please tell me, who is going to pay for it since all those who are settled in these outlying lands will certainly flee west and start all over again, should this brigade somehow even manage to conquer them… 

And, who will even be supplying this brigade, when the once-captain could not even inspire his fellow Aaunites to participate in the Heartlandic military efforts as is?...” Several moves ahead was the old Queen; and she just couldn’t seem to get on the same page with the projected outcome of the half-baked brigade’s mission-statement.

John Valentinus sighed as another missive arrived at his desk. It had hardly been a month since his escapades caused a ruckus, and he likewise didn't wish to read another piece of hate mail. However, something told him to slice open the seal that kept it bound, he would come to find its contents thrilling. It was inspiring! The parchment was shoved into his desk drawer so that it would be hidden from prying eyes.

[Enlightenment 1556]

Emilio Varoche hears of the news, reading the missive, "This... this is truly the Golden Path. We all tire of the folly of cowards." the Roach uttered, as his gutted a fish from his tower.

[Axelu 3735]

The youngest of King James’s issue, Augusta Charlotte was afforded the issue by her household’s courier. The elderly dowager quickly hid the pamphlet in her skirts, and sauntered to the Hand of Horen’s hearth. Silence succeeded her, but her mind was ablaze.

[Hom 798]

Atticus Reinhold pauses in his transcribing to glance over the missive, pursing his lips slightly as he arrives to the accompanying map. "Who on earth is going to pay for all that? No one ever thinks these proposals through," He dismisses with a wave, returning to his other documents.

[Hearth 882]

A particularly stout King peered over the missive from his retirement home at Dúin's Shore. An amused smirk crossing his visage: "T'werth be wiyes tae pace kep'th midst thine neighbours. Blōd fædes pay'th many men t' great expense..."

[ncarr 2296]

Analiese Alstion received the pamphlet in her quarters within the Hand of Horen, a set of ladies in wait aided her in a dress fitting. Sleeves tightened around her arms and laces bound a corset around her waist as the third of the handmaidens held the pamphlet before her eyes, "I would fancy a trip to the eastern coast." mused she absentmindedly, though the words of the manifesto weighed on her mind for hours following. 

[Kaii 260]

"Someone's manifesto accidentally dropped a bit early..." The former Count of The Phoenixspire stated as he looked over the missive. 

[sergisala 2901]

The warrior Alexander Darkwood, a certain heartlander who had already lost any interest in human politics, nodded as he casually read the new missive issued by the hero Tiber of New Paradisus regarding the formation of the Golden Dragoons "I am also of the opinion that the House of Alstion and Temesch must rule supreme over the Heartlands and that their hegemony in the continent must be ensured. Their Majesties should follow the steps of their ancestors and remember the teachings of our Exalted Prophets. The rise of the House of Horen through a new human reunification would be the adequate pathway to achieve peace and prosperity in mankind."
