I am sad that despite my best efforts, I was not able to assist Senior Captain Laerise in reaching the Round Robin stage. I also offer sympathies to Souless Zealot, and congratulate him for putting on his very best effort for Lord Ardishapur.

That said, I am glad that one of the final heirs is my own declared liege, Lady Catiz Tash-Murkon. I was not able to apply in time to be one of her prospective champions, but I still wished her the best of luck and God's Graces. However, to clarify before the obvious point is raised, I was greatly honoured and duty bound to assist my commanding officer in fighting for another Heir, any of whom I would gladly serve. I gave it my all for Lord Ardishapur on behalf of my Captain, and would do so for any if asked again in the future.

The Champions have performed their level best in the eyes of God, and its now the time to see who is most worthy in His Eyes to take the Throne and lead the Empire onwards.

Amarr Victor.

Though it is a bitter pill to swallow for me as a Sarumite, God has made his plan clear - the Empire's future is not to make war on the other peoples of New Eden, but to bring them to Faith by peaceable means. I will place all my trust and hope upon our new Emperor or Empress. I will dutifully uphold their ideals and policies. I will still mourn the loss of His Highness Lord Merimeth Sarum. Even it being God's Will, I still cannot help but feel that I have failed House Sarum in some way.

Regarding House Khanid, I admit I am one who would not accept the possibility of their King taking the throne of Amarr. The outcome thus far of the Trials, and Team Sarum's heartbreaking loss to Lady Damassys Kadesh has made me think long and hard about this House. My prayers and contemplation have led me to believe these things -

Firstly, Garkeh Khanid will finally meet his proper fate. God's justice will be served.
Second, Garkeh Khanid is but one treacherous man. The people of House Khanid are not he. With Garkeh Khanid gone, the blight upon House Khanid shall be lifted and we should once again fully embrace our good Brothers and Sisters of this Great House.

God bless Holy Amarr.
Amarr Victor.

I must say watching the trials unfold has been a humbling, and spiritual, experience which has resulted in an expected amount of self-examination and reflection. I pray the trials continue to unfold as God wills.

Can I compliment the leadership of the Praetorians for allowing their pilots to pursue whichever candidate seems best to them, rather than enforcing support of an approved candidate?

Very enlightened and a display of true humility in allowing God to pick the winner.

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Honor to all the Champions who serve as the instruments by which we discern the Will of God.

Honor to the eliminated Heirs who have been leaders of the Empire and the Kingdom and are now set to conclude their service by ascending to Heaven.

And honor to Lord Kor-Azor and Lady Tash-Murkon both of whom offer the Empire unique skills and talents. God will soon call one to Heaven and the other He will call to the Throne.

My condolences on the less than favourable results in the Trials Lady Newelle, however with all due respect I do not believe you should feel that way. Your actions have proven that House Sarum had selected their champions well and through those actions you have affirmed the loyalty you hold for your sworn House in a very real way that many seek and only very few achieve.

We only met very briefly at the Holy Grape during the preliminary rounds where I watched the preliminary rounds. That you and your team qualified to represent your house, accounted for very successful early contests, and in defeat show a devout humbleness and an acceptance of God's will does not only House Sarum but the Empire proud.

What fills the soul? Something that guides a lost child back to it's parents arms. Or waves that dye the shores of the heart gold. A blessed breath to nurture life in a land of wheat. Or the path the Sef descend drawn in ash. In the wake of fire.

What are you talking about, Lord Darklight? Are you implying that the Heirs-Elect will be slain?

I imagine you and your team are not quite yourselves from the celebrations of your victories this weekend, I think we can all understand.

Congratulations on your perfect showing, Lord Darklight, you have a formidable team.

I would like to point out that House Kador holds very little benefit to the state compared to some of the other houses Ms. Kim. The only reason you like them is because they hate the Gallente.

Excuse me, Ms. BloodStone, but are you one of these trolls, who yelp all other the IGS about why I like one thing or another without trying even to understand?..

For everyone, who are truly interested why I would support House Kador, it is not because they "hate the Gallente", as Sahriah was slandering about me on IGS, but because they have actually tried to ACT against the Federation. Even if it was without success, their resolve has been noted.

Ms. BloodStone, looks like you have just lost your honor.


And you believe the Caldari State would simply be left to its heretical ways once the Federation and Republic was disbanded under the rule of Uriam Kador? Oh, dear, you are in dire need of a clue. You don't realize how fortunate you are that the capitalist House Tash-Murkon is performing so well. One would think they had Deteis blood and not Udorian. And if God's will is that Kor-Azor ascend, there is no greater humanitarian or kinder soul than Articio Kor-Azor to continue the peaceful relationship between out two peoples.

Be grateful.

If you fear to face the Gallente Navy, you ought to go far out of your way to avoid attacking the Caldari. Just a helpful hint.

Assuming, of course, that it hasn't all been an act to rehabilitate his public image while he continues his sociopathy in secure locations. Violent, traumatic episodes of torture don't tend to engender empathy in those who had none before.

Eh. Don't worry about it. At this point, Miss Kim has denounced, I believe, every single Caldari loyalist, save perhaps for TomHorn.

Which is an obvious lie, since I constantly work together with true loyalists and patriots.

Vikarion has not a single clue about me or actual Caldari loyalists, as well as he stopped being a loyalist and have no idea actually who they are. He has left the State to live with scum of society in a Maker-forsaken wormhole, licking feet of his "transhumanist" (or whatever other words these marginals use to call themselves) gangleader.

Vikarion has lost his privilege to say anything about the State, Caldari or those, who are loyal to the State by actions or to Caldari by the spirit.

Please disregard Vikarion's fool words and don't consider him being a Caldari anymore.

Sir.

I look not to develop peaceful relations or humanitarian efforts.
I look for faster elimination of the common enemy.

We have a war going on. And it is a time to fight, not to spread resources on humanitarities... or how is it called?

Vikarion is not even a Caldari citizen anymore. He is an Origin citizen. And just like the rest of the Origin dwelling scum, except for Jade, he is a profound coward.

So yeah, I wouldn't consider him Caldari either.

Sorry, Anyanka, but I have to disagree here.

If a capsuleer doesn't give a flying thukk about her own death and enjoys the deaths of others, it does not mean that she is brave. In the world of the "immortals", it's a norm. All of 0.0 and the noisy groups like CODE live on that.

It's ISK and permanent effect on the image and reputation that matters.

For example, if a member of Ushra'Khan decides to (honestly!) atone and join PIE auxiliaries, that means, that he or she is brave. Because, no Minmatar-aligned corp would take him ever again. And vice versa. It's an one way road.

To go down an one way road, knowing that there's no return but the biomass tank, that is bravery.

But this talk does not belong in the thread about Amarrian succession anyway.

Not true. Many of us really do not want to die and be replaced by someone else that everyone treats like us. Many of us don't, in fact, enjoy the deaths of others. That doesn't mean we won't fight to defend what's ours, or that we won't take the field to protect the lives of our friends.

And yes, 'defend what's ours' includes cleaning the vermin off the porch.

Of all the heirs, I am glad that the finalists are who they are, in particular Tash-Murkon. I believe that an economic approach could finally bring peace to my people, in spite our past with the great enemy.

While our warriors fight for our people's freedom, we in turn should fight for our people's prosperity.
