"In the same light, there can not be just one Church, but many Churches, all advocating for interpretations to suit the needs of the multitudes of Faithful. "
- Emperor Theomar the Holy, Excerpt from the Tenth Creed of Unionism -​

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

|'Sɛkʃn I|

On December 16th, I received sorrowful news. The Supreme Reverend Piete Kade had passed by the command of corrupt and self-serving clerics within the Unionist Divine. While I certainly mourned over the great loss of His Supreme Holiness, this was not a despondent feeling. The definition of despondent is, "In low spirits due to a loss of hope or courage." Nay. While the death of such a pious man was an affair of great dejection, it did not come without hope.

A revelation of substantial import struck the Church and the Unionist peoples as a whole. A martyr had died. A man who sacrificed his very life with the knowledge he would likely perish in the name of Theomar the Holy and his Creed. This sacrifice was not without cause and the Supreme Reverend committed this act of reverence in the name of the Spirit. The late Supreme Reverend, the last of the Unionist Divine, ascended to the Everwatch in order to fulfill a prodigious purpose. To uncover the final axiom of the Spirit as to assure it is adhered to and the Unionist Divine is splintered into various Churches of differing beliefs. His acts of fervor towards the Spirit's word have affected and will affect the one true faith for centuries to come. A new age of Unionism.

With such a zealous undertaking, after months of deliberation, fasting, and prayer, I hereby canonize His Supreme Holiness Piete Kade under my Church's beliefs and dub him Piete Kade the Revealer, Heron of the Sancella. I further ratify this commemoration for such a pious man by setting a date for his Reiher-Tag as in adherence with Supreme Reverend Gabriel di Zophilare's Bull which stated that each Heron must receive an official date to celebrate their life and actions towards the Great Way. December 16th shall be the day in which the Supreme Reverend shall be honored, the day in which the news of the Tenth Creed reached the wider Archipelago and his work to disclose it was complete.

This holiday for the Unionist believers of the Church of the Radiant Eye shall be a Reverential Reiher-Tag, the highest honor for a Heron as he gave his life to push forward the Great Way a vast distance towards Paradise, ushering forth a new era of Unionism, where the faithful populace and Church is separated by beliefs, yet united ever still by loyalty to the Spirit, Emperor, and Core ideals of the Unionist faith. Oratario Paean and may Brother Piete ascend to the highest steps of the Imperial Throne and join all other Saints of Union as examples of what it truly means to be a Unionist.

|'Sɛkʃn II|

In recent months, it has come to mind that there is no true compiled source of beliefs for the laity of the Church of the Radiant Eye to review and learn from, nor is there one for the clergy to hold as a guide in their sermons and mass. With this revelation, it has come to mind the idea of a Credo, a long work dictating the various beliefs and doctrine of my Church to assist in the worship of the Spirit as per my interpretations.

With such, I announce the scribing of my Credo, which has already begun on April 19th, 308 AC. I offer an excerpt to readers of this Radiant Bull from the Credo, an elaboration on the First Creed.

"The First Creed exists as the basis of all Creeds, the beginning, the base explanation, the spark of Unionism. Therefore, the First Creed of Union speaks of many things, from the Spirit Himself to the end of our great undertaking, our destined future, Paradise. The beauty of Paradise is focused on in the first few lines of the First Creed, speaking of a world "where there is no want, no hunger, no sadness and no fear.". With such a beautiful and divine future, where there are no restraining factors of the mortal plane and those who died return to Aloria, it can be interpreted that when the destined time of Paradise is reached, Aloria and the Everwatch merge. The mortal plane of Aloria transcends and merges with the afterlife, creating a perfect place where the Ailor claim their rightful rulership over the world and no longer does anyone suffer from a simple cold to the daemonic scourge that currently plagues us."​

In the last section of the First Creed of Union, the Holy Spirit is spoken of and the Emperors are dubbed the vessels of the Spirit. They are charged by the Spirit on high with guiding the Empire along the Great Way and to be the Spirit's voice upon Aloria. Therefore, they are to be worshipped as the holy Emperors, their words divine and the announcements deemed such the words of the Imperial Spirit."​

This said, if you wish to read more of this Credo, it shall be posted upon the noticeboards of our Holy City and Empire when made available and the final sentence is concluded. I am excited to begin this large project and I pray it will assist the faithful in their duties of servitude to our Lord on high, the Holy Imperial Spirit.

|'Sɛkʃn III|

In 'Sɛkʃn III, I wish to remind the Unionist populace of the various holidays approaching swiftly upon the Liturgical Calendar. Two as of current are of note, Aufgeben Day and All Herons Day. On Aufgeben Day, as our crisis has come to a close, there are now those of the Holy City who are extremely impoverished and perhaps completely homeless as many houses were destroyed in the carnage. With such, it is a fitting holiday to occur after the conclusion of the Clicker Crisis as the Church calls upon all through this holiday to give up something of material worth and offer it to any Church accepting donations. These objects will then be distributed to the poor and needy of our city as to alleviate some economic pressure that they may be suffering. I also call upon all good and faithful Unionists to donate to the various establishments within our city who actively participate in charity and the offering of assistance to the impoverished through their general purpose and cause. These are establishments such as almshouses, soup kitchens, and such. This holiday will occur on the 1st of June so I suggest that all Unionists prepare an object or a few to be donated tomorrow as it will occur this Monday.

Secondly, All Herons Day as can be assumed is a holiday upon the Liturgical Calendar which is dedicated to all Saints of Union. This day is a time to celebrate all Herons as if it was a Reiher-Tag for them and should be used to revere them, pray to them, and sermons across the Empire will speak of each Heron. With that point made, I shall be holding mass dedicated to the Saints on All Herons Day as to celebrate the examples of good Unionists whom we hold dear each day of our lives. This mass will be held on the holiday, June 12th.

|'Sɛkʃn IV|

The last section of this Radiant Bull shall be on the conclusion of the Clicker Crisis. With the menace defeated, as I stated in my recent sermon, the Spirit's light shall cascade upon us from the heavens and we shall enjoy a time of peace and prosperity. However, the coming of a flourishing nation does not mean all those who sacrificed themselves can be forgotten nor can the Crisis be forgotten all together. We must offer our thanks to those who sacrificed themselves for our cause and all who participated, regardless of life or death, should be offered our gratitude. We are free from the chains of the menace because of these individuals and we must commemorate them for their work in cutting these chains and freeing us from the Void itself. Mourn for them and thank them. They are the saviors of the Archipelago, whether it be a layman in the Holy City, to the highest noble in Calemberg. These denizens of our Holy Empire saved us from the wrath of these beasts.

I offer a prayer for those who lost their lives in this crisis.​

O' Holy Spirit, we Your faithful servants call to you. Our voices rise to the Everwatch on high. They reach Your throne and say, "We speak of the valiant acts of those who fell,". Say that, "We believe those Unionists of Ailordom who fell are deserving of Paradise,". That, "Those Unionist non-Ailor who fell have in our belief redeemed themselves, deserving of the honor of human flesh and blood." We call to you Spirit. They have served You greatly and have saved Your Empire.We ask of You to intercede on our behalf and offer this message to them, "Thank you."
Oratario Ode.​

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━​

May the Spirit above,
Upon the radiant Imperial Throne,
Protect us against all evil,
Until the day where we his faithful,
Bring forth Paradise to Aloria,
When his light shall shine upon all.
Oratario Paean.​

 

[Vivamente]

Sigvard's head dipped, the man smiling lightly as he read through the announcements and memories flooding back as he gazed over the conclusion of the Clicker Crisis; his eyes remained somewhat tearful in that moment and he sighed before resting the daily announcement down unto his desk and nodding. "Oratario Paean."
