God says: Transcranial Microcontrollers, Yes; House Ardishapur, No

God has chosen the final two representatives in the Amarr Championships, and slave-loving Transcranial Microcontroller-hating House Ardishapur is not among them. God does not care how conservative and traditional you are. God does not even care how well you have performed your job by restoring order to the Ammatar Mandate after the Karsoth era. If you oppose any means of slave control, then you are unworthy to be Emperor.

Let us celebrate, Chosen, by stuffing our slaves' brains full of Transcranial Microcontrollers, legally, now and forever. Amen. Amarr Victor.

What's the world coming to when I find myself agreeing with Kernher and Blake? It must surely be snowing in hell.

It seems like being edgy requires you to have ... well ... an edge of some sort. As opposed to, you know, having to paddle back out of the mire to find the edge so you can be on it or around it or slightly past it or whatever.

Mr. Nauplius seems mostly to just be sort of splashing around, way out there. It's less "edgy" and more "ugh." Or "ew."

Actually, it seems that God favors the path of peace and integration with the wider cluster, seeing that the two most peaceful and open-minded houses are in the final running. No bloody swathe of destruction across the cluster for you, heretic. Benevolence and cooperation has won the day, we merely must wait to see in which style it will come.

God willing in my lifetime I see the first Udorian take the Imperial Throne. Despite that the Praetorian pilots participating and championing the other Houses had my full support and a deep-seated respect for their efforts.

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.

"My word lies within all,
All it requires is the breath of faith,
To ignite the fire,
So the lost can find their way,
So the fallen can rise,
To take their place as my chosen,
For you are all my creation,
And are all equal in my kingdom."

Boy, I know some angry angry Amarrians right now.

I see this as further evidence as to the fallacy of the entire system. Antiquated people holding on to antiquated beliefs in light of overwhelming evidence. How many lives were lost as our crew went for the for glory of five selfish individuals. How much spectacle is put on by the last throws of an empire unable to mount a defense against the largest threat the have ever faced?

Do not feel bad for the so called chosen who must die, they knew their path in their desire for increased power.

If in fact the will of God is made manifest through the combat of Empyreans perhaps we should just cut out the middlemen and set those who have transcended the fear of death to drive forward, in Gods name of course.

Watch me live for all your Empyrean news and analysis!

CVA do have a much more open door policy than in the past. They are welcoming more pilots of 'questionable' history into their ranks, I presume in the hope to reclaim them by bringing them closer to the bosom of the Empire.

That aside, Ashterothi's words are an easy conclusion for any person who is weak of faith. To claim that these faithful heirs are seeking power for themselves is an easy drum to beat. Without a very strong conviction of faith, it is difficult to understand that there are those who would sacrifice everything for the people of Amarr. That would submit their own life forfeit to allow God to choose one that would lead his people through the darkness, and enlighten His universe.
Faith alone is not enough to win God's trial, nor is power, nor is conviction or honour. It is only the rarest combination of all the traits that God requires to foster in the new age of Amarrian hope that could see one person through in His grace.

Think long and hard Ashterothi about how easily you wish to give in to despair. Watch some of the best pilots known to the cluster fall against their own ambition and pride if you want to see 'overwhelming' evidence.

It really would seem much more efficient for the Heirs to fight it out themselves. It would save time, lives and equipment that could better used to..oh I don't know..defend their Empire from the Drifters?

Here is hoping that the more progressive and practical Tash-Murkon Heir wins so that she can introduce some more practical policies.

Tash-Murkon would be good for Trade, I am told.

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.

I am afraid this particular pilot does not speak for CVA, nor do I, so I hope Mrs Daphiti does not take our words to reflect the official stance.

That said, CVA has always held true to the Empire and respected and honoured its traditions. I am certain that the leadership would support such words. It is my hope that Ashterothi will remember that commitment, the same such commitment that attracted me to CVA, and understand that though some might disagree with the means of Succession, it is the chosen means of the Empire and at the least should be respected by those that fly under a loyalist flag.

Couldn't say it better myself.

It is true that the remaining houses may have gone wayward and liberal on the issue of the Reclaiming. But House Sarum was supposed to be hardliners on the Reclaiming, and what did we get from Jamyl? A horrific, vile, indefensible freeing of 9th Generation slaves. It seems that a House's opinions on the Reclaiming issue may be somewhat orthogonal to that House's opinions on the Slavery issue.

Given the primacy of the slavery issue and the proven failings House Ardishapur and House Sarum on that issue, I would rather have the two remaining Houses than suffer through an Ardishapur or Sarum Emperor. Of course, Khanid or Kador would have been better than either; such is the failings of the Empire at the end of the Golden Age and the beginning of the Blood Age. Amen. Amarr Victor.
