Preservation of the Cross of the Sacred Throne Order

Greetings,

It is my pleasure to announce that my dear friend, Clone 0, has entrusted me with the safeguarding and historical preservation of the Cross of the Sacred Throne Order. I, in no way, have been or deserve the privilege of being inducted into the Sacred Throne Order. I am merely a collector of unique historical artifacts, ships, and oddities, and as such, I have been bestowed with the honor of safeguarding the Cross.

There are only two capsuleer inductees into the Sacred Throne Order who received the Crosses for their valor in returning the Apocalypse Imperial Issue back into the Empire’s grasps: Golan Trevize of PIE and my friend. Clone 0, who personally piloted the Apocalypse to safety, has decided to retreat into the solitudes of Anoikis and left me with the responsibility of holding the artifact for posterity.

The Cross has been susceptible to theft before and hence, I swear to do my utmost best in safeguarding the important historical relic of the Amarr Empire.

Warm regards,
The Antiquarian

A great boon to your attempts at keeping it safe, would have been to keep it a secret.

But I suppose that would have ruined the real reason you obtained this item, yes?

Well, I suppose there is little fun in keeping a collection of relics if no one else knows about it. And now at least now we know that it's still in circulation. I wonder if any of us will ever be allowed to view it...

I can almost hear the sound of a hundred locator agents furiously tapping away on their data-pads throughout the cluster.

Good luck protecting and preserving such a valuable and priceless artefact.

I wish Clone 0 a long and peaceful retirement.

And I wish The Antiquarian every success in safeguarding the medal and upholding all that it represents. Because should anything happen to it, he will be hunted down like a dog.

Congratulations on attaining such a unique artifact, mr. Antiquarian.

But I do agree with Lord Vindictus, in the matter that it should be set up for at least a limited public view.
With enhanced security, of course.

Thank you for the kind words. Being able to safeguard such artifact is more honor than I can ask for.

As for the public display of the Cross, it is my ultimate wish to host a museum of all my collection in the future. Once the infrastructure to hold and exhibit the collection is set up, all the items will be available for public viewing.

That is good to hear. I have heard of plenty of capsuleers that collect scrap and trinkets for display, but if you manage to obtain relics of this magnitude this will be an exhibition to remember!

Congratulations on your aquisition, and good luck with your future endeavours.

I wish to echo what those before me have said, congratulations on this proud honour. Guard it well, and I pray that one day the truly faithful will be able to view this collection. I have little doubt that you would find MANY willing and faithful Amarrians willing to assist in escort and security of such a precious and valuable artifact.

Golan Trevize was a great pilot.

Not many people know this but it was Golan Trevize who first uttered the immortal words AMARR VICTOR.

I was there eight years ago when, under his leadership, PIE forces crushed a terrorist fleet and he first uttered the phrase that has since become a rallying cry for Amarrians everywhere.

Antiquarian is there any chance I could persuade you to release this item into my safekeeping?

It would take pride of place alongside my signed copy of the Pax Amarria .

I am grateful for the support. Once again, I will do my utmost duty to safeguard the relic of such importance. I also hope that the infrastructure to maintain and exhibit the collections could be realized for public display.

It is a pleasure to hear from one of the pillars of our Amarrian community.

You are absolutely right regarding the status of Admiral Trevize. Despite his departure from the Empire, he was "vindicated" by the Theology Council and as such, no one should be questioning about his loyalty.

I have been searching for several years to obtain the Signed Copy of Pax Amarria, not only for its rarity, but for its historical importance. Would it be possible to entice you to add the sacred book to the already existing collection of other holy Amarrian relics and ships including Imperial Armageddon, Silver Magnate, Malice, and Vangel?

Ah, memories...

Do make sure it's well guarded by the most vicious Slaver hounds. You never know when the next Minmatar thief will make a bid for it.

It makes no difference how many guards or mutts you have. Your time will come; and that relic will be destroyed.

Yes Horm did question it. Before the Theology Council ruled in Adm Trevize's favour.

And since the Order of St Tetrimon is currently an outlawed organisation, it's not really relevant to the discussion anyway.

Are you referring to the Privy Council ban from five years past?

And it is entirely relevant. I'm simply pointing out that there exists a variety of opinions on the Cross and its supposed value.

But of course you are correct. We certainly would not wish to question the judgement of the Theology Council, whom we know to be infallible and whom have never made any grievous mistakes of judgement in the past.
